TTDOTO 2.5
by aokigiri — Past Arc - Recognition “Ah…!” Jae-rim, grimacing, rushed to the washing machine. He hit the pause button and lifted the lid. Clothes floated in the water-filled drum. This was the second time today he’d stopped it. After soccer, he’d hung his sweaty T-shirt to dry (Jae-an’s nagging was endless if he tossed it wet into the basket) but forgot to add it to the wash. Now, he realized he’d forgotten something else. ‘Jae-an’s towel…’ Jae-an’s apartment, an older unit,…

TTDOTO 2.4
by aokigiri — Feeling persistent vibrations, Jae-an opened his eyes. A rustling, ticklish sensation creased his brow. It was as if someone were brushing a feather across his face. “Ticklish?” A low laugh echoed beyond his ear. The voice sparked dizziness, and Jae-an shook his head, burying his face deeper into what he lay on. Something firm yet soft, oddly warm, pressed against his cheek. Opening his eyes, the world was sideways. He realized it wasn’t the world but himself, lying on his side. The…

TTDOTO 2.3
by aokigiri — Bursting out of the house, Jae-an ran without stopping until he reached an unfamiliar neighborhood. The soft indoor slippers stabbed pain into his soles with every pebble. Escaping the upscale villa district, he entered a bustling area with old apartments and shops. Each gasping breath tasted of blood, but the thought of Jae-rim watching the CCTV kept him from pausing. ‘The station.’ Spotting a subway entrance, Jae-an dashed down the stairs. He needed a crowded, bright place to catch his…

TTDOTO 2.2
by aokigiri — When alone, his wrists and ankles were always bound. To use the bathroom, he had to call Jae-rim using the phone on the nightstand. Only when Jae-rim returned home were the restraints removed. Meals were taken with Jae-rim, roughly two a day. These were the rules Jae-an learned during a week of unrelenting confinement. Stripped of freedom as punishment for his suicide attempt, he spent his days lost in thought, his vacant gaze drifting across the bedroom. The mobiles, picture frames, vases,…

TTDOTO 2.1
by aokigiri — After the disinfection and fresh bandages, Jae-an remained seated, staring blankly at the glass of water. Jae-rim lightly tapped his arm. “Go lie down.” “…Got a cigarette?” Rolling his eyes, Jae-rim pulled a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, tossing them onto the table. Jae-an raised an eyebrow. The Jae-rim he knew didn’t smoke—always wrinkling his nose at the cigarette smell on Jae-an’s clothes, nagging him to quit. Yet, as if mocking him, Jae-rim’s pocket…

by aokigiri — Flashback - 18 Years Ago Sniffling, Jae-rim pulled cash from his pocket. Nervously glancing between the money and the taxi meter, he spoke up the moment the numbers matched. “Stop here, please.” “Here?” “Yes.” The driver, checking the crisp bills handed over, told him to get out. Jae-rim bowed politely and stepped out of the taxi. Streetlights alone pierced the darkness, but the familiar neighborhood was a relief. Recalling the route he’d taken by car many times, Jae-rim…

by aokigiri — The ring Jae-an couldn’t bring himself to discard while sorting his belongings was the last birthday gift from Seo Jae-rim. This past February, Jae-an couldn’t tear his eyes from the calendar. As his birthday neared, his mood grew strange. A faint hope that this year, growing a year older, might bring something different mingled with a restless dread of facing next year’s birthday in vain, stirring unease in his chest. The day before his birthday, returning home from work, Jae-an spotted a red…

TTDOTO 1.5
by aokigiri — Long ago, Seo Jae-rim had outgrown Jae-an’s height, and now his stature was so imposing it was hard to gauge at a glance. His once lanky frame had filled out like an athlete’s, making it rare to spot anyone on the street with a build to match his. His once-small, cute fingers had lengthened, his thickened palms and knuckles calloused. Beyond calluses, faint scars marked his hands. They were often injured—sometimes bandaged, sometimes wrapped in gauze. Seeing his hands grow rougher always made…

by aokigiri — 「Cauchemar」 Jae-an parked under a familiar sign, and the valet, recognizing the car, greeted him first. Smiling brightly, Jae-an handed over the keys with a polite nod. Inside the restaurant, a staff member greeted him warmly, noting it had been a while, and Jae-an followed her slow steps. “The boss is inside.” “Thanks.” He grasped the handle of the private room’s door. Stepping in, he saw Seo Jae-rim, mid-sip of water, turn his head. “Hyung.” A smile bloomed across a…

by aokigiri — Despite the chaotic—nearly shocking—atmosphere at work, Jae-an forced himself to show up. It might’ve been stubborn pride. The gnawing fear that running away would only confirm the rumors pushed him to cling to his resolve. He did his best to douse the gossip, which grew more sensational with each retelling. Every word, every action was scrutinized; he forced bright smiles. He choked down every grain of rice on his tray, only to sneak away and vomit it. But the despairing premonition Jae-an…
