    Summary

    Kim Dokja gets de-aged as a result of a mishap with an artifact, post-epilogue. Uncomfortable truths come out.

    (Or, they love Kim Dokja, no matter what form he’s taken.

     

    He doesn’t know what to do with this much love.)

    ...

    When he wakes up again, it’s to a whole group of people, most of which are noisy and loud.

    He lies there in the soft blanket for a minute, taking in the details of a hospital room, and noting the IV going into the crook of his elbow. He attempts to sit up, wincing when it pulls at the mess of his chest.

    There’s an odd weight on one of his legs, and there’s a fluffy...creature resting on it, curled into his side. It’s warm.

    The room goes quiet all of a sudden, and he finds himself staring back at an odd assortment of people.

    Summary

    He learns of lots of things that these people say his older self has experienced in the apocalypse: kindness, companionship, strength, family, love, sacrifice; all things they say the older him has provided to them.

    (He's not sure he believes it.)

    They seem to know him too well to the point that it scares him a bit, listing things they couldn't possibly know if they didn't; his hate for tomatoes, his tendency to lie with a straight face, his love for stories; even predicting correctly that his favorite food will be murim dumplings, once he tries them. They try very hard not to overwhelm him, but both the praise and insult they give him remain unchanging, time and time again.

    The person they describe— it doesn't sound like him. Like anything he could possibly be.

    (And yet, it's a fact that they're here, waiting for that person to come back to them. It's comforting, and frightening at the same time; both an assurance and an expectation.)

    (or: Kim Dokja, and the mortifying ordeal of being loved)

    Summary

    Soulmates exist in "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World". Kim Dokja never understood why. After 3149 chapters, it's pretty obvious that tls123 has no intention of writing Yoo Joonghyuk meeting his. But it is what it is: soulmates don't exist in reality, but they do in Yoo Joonghyuk's world.

    It changes quite a few things when the scenarios start.
