12 Monkeys AU/canon fusion. While away from Seoul to film a movie, Jinyoung is visited by Jaebum—but not the Jaebum he knows. This Jaebum has travelled from a post-apocalyptic future to enlist Jinyoung's help to stop the world's population from being wiped out by a plague, and he goes to Jinyoung because at some point, Jinyoung left a message for Jaebum to find in the future. As Jinyoung tries to determine if the future-Jaebum is even real, he discovers that Suzy, among others, has joined a strange and mystical cult that has decided the only way to end human suffering is to break time itself, a proposition which begins to seem attractive to Jinyoung as he contemplates a reality where he can save neither himself nor Jaebum.
