Chapter 1: Sunday Dreaming

Hongjoong has been living on his own for a while now, pushed out by the magical community for something no one remembers anymore. He toils away at his potions and spends late night carving amulets to charge or enchant. His life has fallen into somewhat of a sad routine.
But then, Hongjoong begins to notice a certain customer coming more and more often, and who makes small talk, unlike the other customers (who usually can’t meet Hongjoong’s eyes, and check both ways before leaving to make sure no one sees them at his shop). Slowly, he and this regular customer grow closer than Hongjoong has been with anyone in the last 5 years. (7.4k words)
