“Your existence is ruining Kim Yeonho’s life.” Yeonho still found himself recalling those words, which Seong Junhee had drilled into him endlessly. Back then, he’d heard it so many times that he believed someone like Joo Yeonho, who had caused such disaster, should never have existed in the first place. Siwoo worked every day to dull and pull out that lingering thorn embedded in Yeonho’s mind. “Yeonho, if it weren’t for you, I’d be a pile of white bones by now. Just a scoop of bone…-

Yeonho raised his hips high to make it easier for Siwoo to handle his body. He bent his thighs and left enough space between his knees. Lying face down with his chest pressed against the bed, the curve of his back deepened. Siwoo was still spreading the flesh with fingers. His breath brushed against the hole that had opened along with the parted cheeks. When his fingertips began to toy with the wrinkled entrance, Yeonho’s face grew hot. Though he was actively offering himself like this, Yeonho…

Lately, Siwoo had been making frequent phone calls in English. Usually, it happened early in the morning, from his private space that he used alone, and always without Yeonho knowing. Every time Siwoo closed the door and made a call, Yeonho pressed his ear to the door and tried to eavesdrop. He couldn’t catch every word, but he could guess well enough who Siwoo was talking to and what it was about. As soon as the call ended, Yeonho rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a ladle. Siwoo soon came out…

Near the end of spring, Yeonho began working at the Platte Resort headquarters in Seoul. Unlike last year, when he had been dragged into the job without much interest, this time he actively learned about management, now that he had a spouse who would support him for life. During that time, Siwoo’s parents continued to try various ways of reaching Yeonho. Siwoo’s father mostly contacted him through a lawyer, just as Yeonho had requested, but today, for the first time, he came in person, asking to…

When was the first time he had ever wanted to give everything up? He saw the face of his father, twisted in rage over his clumsy chopstick grip. He heard the cruelty in his mother’s voice. He smelled the overturned birthday seaweed soup on the floor, tasted the tang of blood in his mouth, and felt the tearing pain of his skin being split open. In that moment, Kim Yeonho believed that the body he had been born into was entirely useless. What was the point of being born human, with eyes, a nose, and…

Usually, it was Siwoo who fell asleep later, and Yeonho who woke up first. This rhythm had naturally formed between them after living together. Siwoo would watch over Yeonho as he drifted off to sleep, and in the morning, Yeonho would quietly observe Siwoo as he lay asleep. Every night without fail, Siwoo gently caressed every inch of Yeonho’s body to help him fall asleep. He did this whether they had sex or not. Only after confirming through Yeonho’s breathing and the sound of his breath that he…

One, two, three, four… eleven, twelve. Twelve side dishes. The main was blue crab stew.Yeonho tilted his head. Was it just his imagination, or had the number of side dishes been increasing by one every time he came back from the hospital? Siwoo’s extravagant dinners always circled back into Yeonho’s own worries over what to make for breakfast the next day. The kinds of food that could be whipped up quickly before work were limited. What on earth was he supposed to prepare tomorrow? “Hyung,…

Siwoo carefully watched Yeonho’s expression as he took off his rubber gloves. He was certain there had to be a reason Yeonho had suddenly brought this up. He removed Yeonho’s gloves as well, then placed the clean frying pan they’d just washed up on the table so Yeonho wouldn’t grab it during the conversation. “What did he say to you to make you react like this? Did he talk bad about me?” Siwoo’s gaze was serious. He didn’t want to make Yeonho uncomfortable, Yeonho smiled and shook his…

When Siwoo first told him about the overseas business trip, Yeonho was nothing but cheerful. “I’ll be fine. Of course I won’t be able to sleep a wink without you. But I’m used to going a few days without sleep. That won’t kill me.” Siwoo followed behind as Yeonho carried laundry from the dryer. “I’m worried.” “I’m more worried about you. Without me, you get anxiety. Just promise me you won’t die and come back alive.” Yeonho set the laundry on the couch, then turned…

Yeonho stared silently at Park Jihyun’s face on the screen and tried to steady his breath. Had he not gone abroad with Siwoo after all? Yeonho struggled to decide how to interpret and respond to Park Jihyun’s appearance. For now, he felt a small sense of relief knowing the man wasn’t currently with Siwoo. At the same time, he grew tense, unsure of what the man had come to say without Siwoo present. Yeonho decided he would respond according to how Park Jihyun behaved. Taking his time, he walked…
