Source: Rainbow City Novel, Chapter 2
"Watching the Doctor calmly drink water, Kwak Soohwan crossed his legs the other way. He hoped the Doctor hadn’t been awake when he almost used his mouth earlier. How could his lips smell fishy when nothing touched them?
“I wash twice a day, you know.”"
HE WASHED IT. (why tf am I defending this idiot-)
oh bestie...I got the entire rainbow city novel on speed dial? need cute quotes? I got you.
Need a quote to explain the mysteries of the story? I GOT YOU.
NEED QUOTES FOR AN ESSAY AND ANALYZATION OF THE PLOT? give me 2 minutes and the quote is yours.
need to find a specific scene in the novel? Ill paste the scene for you right here in 5 seconds.
Bet AHEM (spoilers tho)
“ "I heard a rumor circulating in the shelter, but I think you two are really close. It's hard for me to talk to Dr.
Seok without hesitation, but I envy Major Kwak Soo-h wan."
Kwak Soo-hwan made a face toward Choi Ho-eon, who had a polite tone.
"There is one way to get along with Dr. Seok."
"What is that? Can I give you a stone, too?"
"No so."
Kwak Soo-hwan smiled attractively.
"You just have to be like me."”
“ Seokhwa looked down at the top of his head with e mbarrassment. He killed a family that turned into Ada m and took care of himself when he was bitten by Ada
m. I also remembered his actions, holding his body tig htly, saying not to change. I can't guess what it was lik e, but it still broke my heart. Seokhwa unnaturally rais ed his arms, which were being pounding, and gently h ugged his head. Kwak Soo-hwan's body temperature seemed to soothe my body as always.”
“ There were various reasons for those who wanted t o survive. Family, friends, or lovers, obsessed with life for them, and the people in the City also defeated dea th and survived to share life with them. I was able to meet him because I was alive, and he could come ba ck to himself because he was alive.
For Seokhwa, Kwak Soo-hwan, and for Kwak Soo-hwan, Seokhwa was the reason for survival.”
“ If there was a god, he was truly a mean person. He brought someone who was the complete opposite of me in front of me and made him fall for me in a nice way. I was in pain every time Seokhwa got sick, but I was happy if he could just breathe next to me. I wish he didn't get sick, but if he really got sick, I wanted it to be right in front of me. If I thought Seokhwa was sick when I wasn't around, it would be like my whole body and soul being twisted.”
“ "I want to touch your testicles.
He blurted out, surprising Kwak Soohwan. Kwak Soohwan turned his face leaned on the steering wheel sideways.
"Will touching my balls make you feel better? I'm not some panacea, Dr. Seok."
"Then I'll say it again. I want to hug you naked."
Dr. Seok knows nothing about human emotions.”
“ It's mine, Dr. Seok is mine. No one else is going to have him. Dr.
Seok jumped into my arms by himself.”
“ Alone in their mountain, it felt like they were the only two in the world, as his laughter suggested.
Seokhwa wrapped his arms around Kwak Soohwan's waist, and they hugged tightly. Water mixed with their breaths and created a humid atmosphere, bringing them closer together. The water acted as a conduit,
intensifying their closeness. After exhaling, Seokhwa whispered.
"Us... living here?"”
“ "More stones are better, but Major Kwak is one. Stones can be replaced by other stones, but not Major Kwak."”
“ Seokhwa, sitting on the rear seat on the central bulging seat, held onto Kwak Soohwan's sleeve tightly. Despite the uncomfortable position, as if afraid Kwak Soohwan would disappear somewhere, he leaned his body against him, seeking warmth.”
“ He wanted to go somewhere secluded, check if there were any injuries all over Seokhwa's body, and kiss him. The marks he had left around the nape of his neck were still vivid. Previously, he hadn't been this impatient, but after mixing his body with Seokhwa's, his desire had intensified. It was because he knew Seokhwa's body temperature so well, wrapped warmly around him.”
“ On the first day, I cried like a child and tried to comfort Seokhwa. When I slowly turned Seokhwa's body, his face was soaked with tears. Even if I wiped his cheeks with both hands, it would not dry. Kwak Soo-hwan hugged Seokhwa tightly in his arms.
Still, he couldn't believe it, so he crossed his arms over his skinny back and his sadly shaking shoulders. He longed for Seokhwa as if he would seep into him and become one with him.”
“ Seokhwa held the rope tight enough to squeeze his hand. Last night, while organizing his uniform, he found a pistol. And there was only one bullet. The bullet was much heavier than usual, and seemed to be loaded with the weight of death.
Seokhwa couldn't say anything like,
"Don't die with me even if I die." He had experienced it deeply while he was away, how painful it was to be left behind.”
“ As the waves mixed with Kwak Su-hwan's song, his heart also found stability and beat evenly.
He was with me when I left this place, my hometown and the beginning of my memories, and he was with me when I came back.”
“ [I love you so much.]
It ended with the confession. So he couldn't hear the words 'me too.' Seokhwa pressed the call button on her phone, still awkwardly.
[Why? What's going on?]
Kwak Soo-hwan's voice was urgent.
He must have known something was going on because he got a call right after he hung up.
"Me too."”
“ He gently hugged Seok-hwa and placed him on top of him. The bathtub was deep enough for Seok-hwa to sink down to her chest.
Kwak Su-hwan caressed Seok-hwa's thighs, stomach, and chest with his hands. Thinking about my hobby and healing time, a day passed quickly. I wonder if our Seok Doctor knows how much I want to be with him all day.”
“ No one in the world should be alone.
That's why it was clear that we would be together until the end.
"Now... .... All I'm obsessed with is you, Su-hwan."”
“ In my closed world, my mother loved me very much. Dr. Oh Yang-seok sympathized with me and invited me to his house sometimes, and there was also a motive for knocking on my door at the learning center.
However, the world I had locked myself in never opened. After my mother passed away, I gave up and lived, thinking that there would be no one who would understand me.
However, Kwak Su-hwan changed me. He was the kind of person who would force open a door and smash it.
And I may have waited for such a person for a long time.”

Anyone have any similar recommendations like Debut or Die?
For context it's a about a guy who regressed and possessed a stranger forced to become an idol by a game system. It's more on the comedic side like Saiki K.
