Eunho squirmed before slipping out of his embrace. Perhaps he felt embarrassed about crying, for he hurried to rub his eyes. He avoided Yeorok’s gaze and busied himself with the bedding. Even that simple movement appeared clumsy. “…Go to sleep now.” The way he patted the plump pillow was excessively unnatural. He was trying his best in his own way. Yeorok could not ignore his efforts, so he readily lay down. Eunho stood up, turned off the light, and returned. The sound of his bare feet…- 240.1 K • Completed
- Eunho lectured him. He looked at Yeorok with a piercing gaze, asking if the man took him for someone so devoid of common sense. Yeorok eventually relented and gave a small nod. He moved closer and slid his legs under the covers. The blanket was still warm from Eunho’s body heat. The heat slowly seeped into Yeorok’s tense muscles. “……” The two sat side by side. They wasted time in a heavy silence. Neither could fall asleep immediately just because the bedding was ready. The atmosphere…

- “I should be going now.” Eunho carefully broke the silence. Yeorok sat propped up against the half-raised hospital bed. He had just finished a consultation with his doctor. He stared at Eunho without even a single blink. “Going where?” “Home, of course.” Eunho ignored the man's stunned expression. He gathered his changed clothes and stuffed them into a paper shopping bag. His voice and movements were calm. He acted as though this departure was the only natural…

- Secretary Namyeong arrived in an instant. Shocked by the sight of the bloody scene, he was speechless. But he quickly regained his composure and began addressing the immediate bloodshed. He pulled a handkerchief from his bosom and applied pressure to Yeorok's torn scalp. “Can you hear my voice?” He spoke to Yeorok repeatedly to check if he remained conscious. Yeorok could do nothing but blink slowly, lacking even the strength to answer. Even that effort seemed fleeting, as his eyelids fluttered,…

- But Yeorok’s expression didn't change. He straightened his face, as if he'd expected to be hit. His dark eyes stared at Eunho without wavering. "Hit me more. I'll take it until your anger is gone." Eunho clenched his trembling fist. He bit down until his molars felt like they would shatter. He rushed forward and swung his fist at Yeorok. Just as he said he could, Eunho beat him relentlessly. His grip was clumsy and his strikes lacked power, but he landed a blow every time. Yeorok took it…

- "Is stalking people fun for you?" “…….” “What the hell is wrong with you, don’t you have any shame?” Eunho grabbed Yeorok by the collar. His ten fingers curled, crumpling the collar of his shirt. "How easy do I look to you? When someone speaks, you should at least pretend to listen!" “Sim Eunho-ssi.” “Don't call my name.” Eunho ground his molars. His eyes were wide open, bloodshot. Even his voice cracked, sounding like a raspy whine. Yeorok stared down at…

- The owner was busy with a group of customers. Eunho was the only one left to serve the new arrival. He tried to delay it as long as possible by slowly restocking the liquor fridge, but once he finished, he couldn't ignore the situation anymore. Eunho exhaled and closed the fridge door. Holding the order pad, he stood by the round iron table. Yeorok spoke to him as if he had been waiting for this moment. "Could you recommend something from the menu?" Eunho slowly raised his eyes. Yeorok met his…

- Every time he sensed a presence outside the door, his head turned toward it. Most of the time, it was just a passerby, and each time, Euho felt toyed with. He felt pathetic, looking like someone waiting for Choi Yeorok. What annoyed him most was that he kept doing it even though he knew better. The man who had shown his face every single dawn hadn’t appeared for three days. There was absolutely no reason to care, yet his entire focus remained fixed on the entrance. Euho sighed toward the floor,…

- “Hey, bring me two bottles of Fresh.” “…….” Eunho carefully observed the customer. He couldn't bring himself to say that he should retrieve the items himself. Working night shifts at a convenience store, he often encountered drunk customers. Their unreasonable demands were a daily occurrence. After a few encounters with drunk customers, he learned firsthand that it's better to quickly give in to their demands and send them away than to confront them. Eunho left the counter and…

- The meat restaurant located on the corner of the alley was bathed in a dim light. Traces of the past were apparent in the old sign and worn-out glass door. A wisp of smoke drifted through the slightly open crack. Perhaps due to the inclement weather, the shop was nearly deserted. A metallic noise echoed from the back door leading to the kitchen. Eunho had finished washing the dishes and was coming out for a breath of fresh air. The dark green apron he wore over his short-sleeved T-shirt was…
