TDOTO 4.1 [Part 1]
by aokigiri — Pressing the accelerator, the car hurtled off a cliff, tumbling end over end. Jae-an’s body slammed against the interior like a ragdoll, yet no pain came. The car snagged on a tree, halting. Thick smoke filled the cabin.Despite the crash, he didn’t lose consciousness; instead, pain sharpened. Not from the impacts, but from his throat, unbearably tight. The seatbelt had wrapped around his neck, strangling him.Would he die in an accident, or by hanging? The trivial thought crossed his mind as he…

by aokigiri — Tossing and turning, Jae-an’s eyelids fluttered, slowly opening. The window was dark; night had fallen. “Ah…” He must’ve dozed off, slumped sideways on the sofa. Sweat beaded on his feverish forehead. Rubbing his eyes, he froze, noticing a figure beside him. Jae-rim leaned against the sofa, flipping through the math workbook. The amber glow of indirect lighting softly illuminated his long fingers, twirling a mechanical pencil. “Awake?” The low voice pierced his ears, confirming…

by aokigiri — The sound of gasps and sharp intakes of breath drew the eyes of everyone nearby, and the man, looking severely embarrassed, hurriedly fled the scene. Even after the man had gone, Jae-rim did not pull away, continuing the kiss for a long time. The sound of people whispering felt exceptionally sharp as it pierced Jae-an's ears. The moment Jae-an tried to twist his head away, Jae-rim bit down hard on his lip. He only released the grip on the nape of Jae-an's neck after he had finally torn the skin and…

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…

by aokigiri — They arrived at a nearby animal hospital. The veterinarian startled upon seeing the blood-matted puppy cradled in Jae-an's arms. Emergency treatment began immediately. Seo Jae-rim caught Jae-an's hand, which was nervously fidgeting with his thigh, and held it down. Unlike his usual way of subtly withdrawing, Jae-an kept his hand clasped, saying nothing. Some time later, the veterinarian announced the surgery was complete and led them into the examination room. Pulling up X-ray images, the doctor…

TTDOTO 4.4 [Part 2] The Past – Angel
by aokigiri — "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8" Lee Jae-an’s father, Lee Han-yoon ajussi, went to church. It seemed natural. Ajussi was kind, gentle, and looked innocent enough to believe in God. In contrast, my father seemed more suited to hell—cursing with every sentence, body covered in messy tattoos, acting crude and sleazy. Maybe because of ajussi’s faith, Jae-an’s house was filled with Christian items: a framed Bible verse, a…

by aokigiri — “…Since when did you know?” “Does knowing change anything?” At Seo Jae-rim’s excessively nonchalant reaction, Jae-an realized he had asked a stupid question. No matter when he had found out, the conclusion remained the same. Despite knowing what their two fathers had done, Seo Jae-rim had ultimately gone into heat for him. Unlike Jae-an, who had tried to avoid and shun Jae-rim after learning of their fathers' relationship, Jae-rim had wanted to resemble those disgusting men. Jae-an…

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…

by aokigiri — The tutoring game, half-decided by threat, began as soon as Jae-an’s cold subsided. Lying dazed, watching TV, Jae-an jolted at the phone’s ring, rising from the sofa. Drawn to the relentless ringing, he stood before it but hesitated, hand frozen. What if it wasn’t Jae-rim? Still, he couldn’t let it ring out. After deliberating, he grabbed the receiver, his curled fingers gripping it tightly. “…Thought it might not be you.” Though his throat’s swelling had eased, his…
