Story Title: Cherry Pie
Summary: In the early 1980s, Chan-wook and Kaori have a little chat; Kaori asks for something, which may be the start of Chan-wook's life.
Author's Note: A story with Chan-wook as a young(ish) man and Kaori when she was just starting as a Hostess. It takes place over twenty years before the story. I think this story is one of the main turning points in Chan-wook's life. Here, Kaori asks him for a rather huge favor.

Story Title: Sick
Summary: Fifteen-year old Takara finds out about her illness
Author's Note: This is the moment Takara enters the woods, but she always carries a bit of light inside her. Of course, that's not there here. However, I always imaged Takara as someone who is trapped in the dark, but sees some light at the end, and it's that light she's always trying to get to. This is the start of her captivity in the woods. Takes place in the 1980s.

Story Title: Bastard
Summary: Kaori has always been in love with Chan-wook. Yet, when he leaves Japan in the late 1970s, he doesn't seem to notice.
Author's Note: Takes place in roughly 1979. Chan-wook has been living in Japan for a while, but he leaves to go back to South Korea. Always being up for a good time and an adventure, he travels in hope of finding something. The only thing is, he doesn't seem to understand that Kaori is in love with him and wants him to stay. I chose 'anguish', because of Kaori's feelings and 'wait for me', because Kaori wants Chan-wook to say that to her, when he only ever says it to everyone else.



( Chan-wook was leaving )
