Levia and I were on some shit last night so I guess it's time for me to contribute to the pot. Have a story plot writing ramble.

Kim Dokja who falls in love at first sight with his guardian angel Yoo Joonghyuk when the guy manifests to protect him on the worst night of his life in childhood where he would have died had Yoo Joonghyuk not stepped in. But Kim Dokja was a child and traumatized and doesn't fully believe what actually happened to him, but it left an impact.

Growing up his favorite characters revolve around the memory of this being. Kim Dokja was Normal about it, until he tries to kill himself at 15 because his life was spiraling. He's saved once again by someone like that guy from that night only this time it's a boy his age. Just as hauntingly beautiful, just as vivid as his memory as a kid, but it's also not something Kim Dokja is sure happened. If that kid wasn't there that day, Kim Dokja was sure he would have died. But when he wakes up in the hospital, he's unable to get info about the person who had saved him. It was just like when he was younger.

Something transforms in him then. Once is a miracle. Twice is a coincidence. What about three times? Well, he wasn't about to try to take himself out, but he does consider it. Fate happens to work in his favor then as he almost dies once more in a freak accident, only to be saved by this mysterious person again. And now Kim Dokja is obsessed. He has to find out who this person is. He's desperate to be with him. And (un)luckily, his fate seems to be to die anyway as accidents start ramping up around him. He'd always had some near-death experiences (that weren't caused by him) but usually he was pulled back from danger at the last second, or something would trip him, or he would remember he had forgotten something only to find out the bus he'd been about to ride had been in a crash. It had freaked him out, but now? Now he looked forward to it and paid more attention. He knows that beautiful guy is around. He's convinced he's a guardian angel of some sort. But he needs him to show himself, because Kim Dokja wants to keep him by his side.

Meanwhile, his guardian angel Yoo Joonghyuk is REALLY STARTING TO LOSE HIS PATIENCE WITH THIS HELLBENT CHARGE OF HIS. He's a workaholic. He LIKES having stuff to do. It's better than lounging around in heaven, even if he's earned his peace and happy ending or whatever. He gets antsy without work. But this was ridiculous. How did he end up with the most unlucky, depressed guy? He had been kind of fond of the kid, but there was a deranged sparkle in his eye that didn't sit right with him. He looks away for two seconds, and it's like the world is out to get him. If Kim Dokja doesn't take himself out first, the world will do it for him. And like HELL Yoo Joonghyuk was going to fail at his job. This guy was going to make it to die of old age if it's the last thing he does. Yoo Joonghyuk is nothing but determined, extremely protective over his charge, and also low-key obsessed with the look of wonder Kim Dokja gives him the few times he sees him.

I need to make it goofier. I think I need to add somewhere in here how the near-death experiences is because Kim Dokja is a prime isekai candidate but Yoo Joonghyuk is offended that they're trying to take his charge from him. Yoo Joonghyuk versus heaven's intentions for Kim Dokja while Kim Dokja is just obsessed with Yoo Joonghyuk. Kim Dokja's just living a weird ass life and becoming obsessed with his guardian angel while also trying to live as a human all while in the background there's bureaucracy shit going on about how he's fated to be isekai'd but his guardian angel is NOT having it!

Low-key thinking about how a Squid Games joongdok could be an interesting story. Kim Dokja joins the games because, like everyone else, he's in desperate need of money. He's hounded by loan sharks, has no family he can turn to, and is in wretched straits. But when he realizes that this is a death game, he doesn't have much expectation to win. He didn't have friends growing up. He barely played these childhood games and only knew them through passive observation. They weren't difficult, at least, but he doesn't expect to make it far at all.

However, he's smart. And after meeting another man Yoo Joonghyuk, his plans change a bit. Yoo Joonghyuk helps him to cross the finish line in one of the games despite the risk to himself. And after that, Kim Dokja learns a bit about him and how Yoo Joonghyuk is single-handedly taking care of his little sister and needs this money to escape from the basically-slavery job he currently has that's keeping him financially trapped in shady business. But he doesn't like the thought of everyone around him dying to get him that money and fully plans to vote to end the games (even if it doesn't work out).

Kim Dokja decides that he's going to survive and help Yoo Joonghyuk out. He might not be able to save himself (nor does he really want to), but maybe his death can be a noble thing for a guy like Yoo Joonghyuk. So, without telling Yoo Joonghyuk, he fully plans to assist this guy to reach the end no matter what. Up to and including his sacrifice.

tsukithewolf

Envisioning an ending similar to the first season where they make it to the end together and Kim Dokja does something unforgivable so Yoo Joonghyuk feels no qualms about killing him so he can take the win. Kim Dokja playing the role of the betrayer and plans to keep it that way, but he admittedly breaks a bit as he's actually dying. He wished they could've gotten out together. He would've liked to have known Yoo Joonghyuk under more normal circumstances.

"Isn't it sad that I made my first friend in such a place?"

And Yoo Joonghyuk holds him as Kim Dokja dies, only realizing what he did after it was already too late.

Yoo Joonghyuk, *grabbing Kim Dokja by the scruff of his neck*: This one is mine

small thing, but I think it’s very charming when yjh finally manages to pin down KDJ where he can’t run away and gets kinda smug about it

the regression stigma seems like a curse for most of the story, but it actually was originally a promise. a promise that both yoo joonghyuk and kim dokja will learn and grow. a promise that they will survive, a promise that they will meet. that meeting isnt a permanent one, it cant be a permanent one given that kim dokja is the oldest dream, but its a promised meeting regardless. the fact that it manifests as a ring on yjh's hand, specifically...

from the beginning, it was a promise: a promise they would meet. but what yoo joonghyuk wanted wasnt just to meet his sponsor. he wanted his sponsor to be beside him with his companions, and believed he was stuck behind that wall. and 1865yjh has the same goal. but while 0yjh was naive and didnt understand what being the oldest dream means, 1865 wishes to pluck a star from the sky with complete intention.

so, he always wanted to bring stars down from the sky. but when he forgot 0, he believed his motive was violence, to kill them. but in fact, what he wanted wasnt for all constellations to die, he wanted a singular star to be brought to earth. no wonder the yjh who knows everything has stargazing lvl 10 as his primary skill, its truly a summary of what hes always been trying to do
