ArtemisFowl's manga / #reunion(4)

A fashion designer and the model who loves him become intertwined personally, professionally, and eventually, romantically... ~Chapter 10.5

Baek Chansol has always been alone. He lives at an orphanage, where he considers the others there as family, but is ostracized by his peers at school. Enter another ostracized kid, Park Hansoo. He spends the first couple months by the desk of this kid, but only starts having a relationship with him when their paired together for a project. Park Hansoo and Baek Chansol, after a long time, actually become friends. They hang out together. They spend time outside of school together. They genuinely get along, despite Hansoo's strange and charismatic personality, along with his reputation as a 'bad boy' who gets into fights all day long. Suddenly, during the middle of Baek Chansol's senior year, a serial killer named August (who the police haven't caught) strikes again; this time, to erase all of the people in the orphanage where Baek Chansol lives. It is a tragedy. All of members of the orphanage, except for him, die. He is the only survivor thanks to the fact he was hanging out with Hansoo, but it still leaves him with traumatic memories. Years later, as he's chasing down the serial killer who still hasn't been caught, he encounters a person with information while applying to a job: a one UM weapon's company Hansoo, going by the name of the nephew of the director of UM AND the Director of Sales Team A at the company. Baek Chansol doesn't seem to recognize Park Hansoo. Park Hansoo, on the other hand, does recognize Baek Chansol. He ends up hiring Baek Chansol to be his personal manager, all the while knowing Baek Chansol's secret (and telling him straight up to his face that he knows). Thus begins the cat and mouse chase of Baek Chansol trying to get information about August from Park Hansoo, the childhood friend that he doesn't recognize from trauma-induced amnesia, but has recognized him from chasing August himself for the sake of Baek Chansol. ~Chapter 17

Two former child actors reunite, one very successful and the other laden in obscurity after an accident blurred his memories and trauma caused him to retire. The former can read minds, we later learn within the manga, except for the actor whose childhood is blurred by the traumatic experience at the set. They end up sleeping together -- it's "good practice for the movie we're in" according to the first, the flimsiest of justifications, and end up in a real relationship. There are many details of the latter's past that aren't clear, including his shady relationship with a former idol/colleague/neighborhood boy turned model. Does he have something to do with the accident? And can they find out before it's too late -- this time? ~Chapter 26.1
