[Mr M Is Calling!] A pair of dark brown eyes, those belonging to a terrified David, hurriedly dilated, immense aghast swimming in their pupils as they slyly observed the mysterious and ominous shadows as they carelessly moved around in a house that was as big as a barn — so luxurious and fantastically built, with bright lights illuminating every space. DAVID — there, he was sitting still in the car while daring himself not to move an inch of his body. His lips had slightly parted as his heart skipped beats before hammering vehemently against the walls of his chest — there, where cold air had decided to bite into his lungs, leaving little fresh air for his system. Every muscle in his body was screaming at him to flee this instant, but he remained glued to the seat of the car, his eyes glaring at Sean who found his reaction satisfying, for he was laughing like a drain, ensuring that the waves of his voice attached themselves into David's ears. "Come on, sweetheart. Don't you dare
[DAVID CHWE — The Night!]"This…is not fair! How can I, possibly?" David, whose clothes were soaking wet from the rain, hissed from the depths of his lungs — pity floating furiously in the waves of his voice. He limped into his apartment while crying a song of misery that he couldn't see at the end of the tunnel. His heart was aching — he felt like the end of the world was just a mile away. His veins were criminally enslaved by despair and hopelessness. Not long ago, a car had almost hit him over whilst his head was dwelling in unpleasant thoughts that broke into his heart. He did not care, he wished the car should have just hit him and maybe he wouldn't have to revisit the pain that was vehemently knocking on the doors of his soul. With immense hatred and carelessness, David threw his backpack on the floor before banging his head on the door. He unceremoniously collapsed to the floor, dejected and embraced by deadly emotions that seemed to want to rip his heart off of his system.
[Happiness] —The just-risen sun shone softly on the streets, there, where a detached David was lamely sauntering on — with a mind that was awfully caged by unpleasant and poisonous thoughts. They were thoughts that threw his soul into an abyss of dread and helplessness. An aura of grey had already enslaved his whole body in a pit of nothingness. He walked like a sick man who knew how many days were left for him to 'enjoy' the warmness of life. His hands were carelessly thrown in the darkness of his pockets whilst his half-opened eyes witnessed the sun as it washed the small part of the city he was in, with its warmth, bringing the streets in a flurry of early-morning activity. Every human being that David walked past wore hell-serious faces that scared him a little. It was Monday, everyone was hurrying towards their destinations. Cars roared unceremoniously, away to where their destined locations were — they drove past David who at this point seemed to be a lost soul, wandering a
The setting sun mischievously hung itself behind the huge, fluffy clouds, leaving the evening sky to become overwhelmed by the yellow-gold glitters of the sun. The whole sky of Seoul was ablaze with the glistening beams of the golden sun that was officially diving into the waters of great wisdom and peace. A palpitating family of stars lined up across the sky, setting it aglow with molten-gold and sequin-silver diamond-like tiny lights that secretly shed their brightness across the city. The full, lucent moon slightly hid behind clouds as if afraid to show its beauty to the world. Birds lazily flapped their wings away towards their nests, while enjoying the breeze as it rushed in their feathers. The once fully awake city was now slowly becoming hushed — all the activities were coming to a halt, announcing that the day was coming to an end. Although everything was coming to sleep, the occasional barking of faraway dogs broke into the silence of the night — and well…somewhere in the
The heart of an individual continued to hammer itself against the chest, hoping to escape immediately without delay. There — there; Sam stood a couple of minutes away from his bed, ogling at the known intruder that was sitting quietly on the bed. His phone was shaking in his hand as he blew the rays of the flashlight at David who was seen smirking as if he enjoyed Sam who was depicting fear from every pore of his body. David was wearing slightly exposing clothes — just only a black cap and black clothes that drew his figure out for Sam to tell immediately who it was. Seeing Sam as he was shaking, David chuckled evilly while clapping his hands in delighting disbelief — everything made him happier than ever. "D-david…?" Sam whispered a stuttering query; his whole body was shivering like a breaking egg. He continuously blinked as if afraid that he'd miss a chance to witness as 'David' moved closer to him, and so he did. "Just be a good boy, now will you?" Slowly getting up from th
"HEART-STOPPER!" The world halted from moving — everything around it began fading just a little, at a time. All hope flew away into thin air, leaving nothingness in the void implemented in Travis's heart that was throbbing crazily with poisonous demands. His dewy eyes darted from one place to another searching for something that could bring him comfort — comfort that would soften his heart. His breathing was rough almost harsh as air escaped from his nostrils. His lips were carelessly pasted against each other, afraid that unwanted utters may come out of them. "What…? Why? Did I do something wrong, David?" Slightly staggering back with limping steps, Travis aired queries that trembled in the air surrounding David whose face was awfully ashen. Disbelief was written all over Travis's face, he did not know where to look or what to do — he was visibly heartbroken. "Do…you want to…break our fri-friendship?" """What?! No! Not like that! David hissed immediately when Travis had stutte
Footsteps elegantly and rhythmically throbbed on the pavement there, where dead leaves were pattering across, dancing nervously and swirling in the waves of the wind. Slowly and steadily, the footsteps filled their echo across the narrowed lane, making useless, loud demands into the hearts of both David and Travis who completely stopped walking. "SEAN!" David swiftly growled quietly through his suddenly clenched teeth and hissed every letter with pure hatred. His whole figure was instantly embraced by indignation that went along with uncontrollable aghast, that did not go unnoticed by Travis who at this point knew not how to react. David secretly fiddled with the sleeves of his blazer, counting every luxurious step Sean was making in their direction. Though luxurious, every movement that Sean made was magnificently filled with warm malice that did not give threat right away. A beaming smile was dangling beautifully on his glowing face, hiding its treacherousness behind his ears.
[Fair Warning: Use Of Vulgar Language Some Readers May Find Disturbing] •••Silence, completely hushed — only there was a soft humming sound of the car, stealthily burying itself in the depths of David's heart. Twas David's dewy, blurry eyes that were staring at the ominous shadows that were dancing beautifully as the car drove past them. A giant, black car drove inside of the darkness, there where the road was magnificently illuminated by the luminous, glistening crescent moon, that would occasionally hide behind a handsomely-beautiful large cloud. There publically was nothing left dangling into the chambers of David's throbbing organ, just only a series of venomous feels that mercilessly engulfed his system with coldness — hustling his soul into an abyss of emptiness. "Down for!" David uttered quietly to himself, secretly clenching his hands into fists, as he tried anything by any means to get rid of a voice in his head, that was crying out all the songs of doubt and discouragem
The air became cold. Eyes bulged with unspoken fear as they mysteriously glided over the figure of Jiyeon. The girl had tilted her head to her right, her eyes slyly following every jumpy movement that her mother made. Her smile widened just when she noticed confusion covering the red, wet face of her mother. “You bastard! How could you do that to your own mother!?” Mrs Choi hissed through her trembling lips that were now dry as a hard bone. Her mouth felt like a desert, parched and craving moisture as words played hide and seek in the back of her throat. Beads of sweat lined up across her forehead as her breath became shallow. “Oh dear, I am my mother’s daughter. One bastard gave birth to another bastard.” Jiyeon released an annoyed sigh and chuckled when she caught her mother’s lips trembling. “Did you know, father always thought that I looked nothing like him. He made sure to remind me every time we went on an ice cream date, when I was only five. It became a song and you said
JIYEON CHOI“Are you sure you want to go?” Mrs Park investigated shortly after placing her hand on Jiyeon’s trembling hands. “You don’t have to, I will ask a person to get them for you. Don’t force it!” The old lady assured the girl whose eyes were tightly shut; feeling ashamed to let Mrs Park see her weakness. Jiyeon bit her lower lip and silently counted to three before she could open her eyes. “It is okay. I want to go…and get them myself.” Squeezing Mrs Park’s hand with her free, uninjured hand, Jiyeon whispered soon after taking a deep breath. Mrs Park stared at the girl for a while and never said a word. She nodded at her driver and the engine of the car they were in growled as it began moving. The car roared out of the Park mansion to a destination where Mrs Park was not so sure they should go to. Jiyeon quietly watched the tall, luxurious buildings pass as the car drove by. Her heart was jingling in the embrace of her ribs, as an unidentified number of emotions collided i
Night descended like a velvet cloak, softly enveloping the world in an inky blackness that seemed to have a texture all its own. The stars twinkled like diamonds scattered across the fabric of the sky, their gentle sparkle casting an ethereal glow over the landscape.The moon, a silver crescent, hung low on the horizon, casting long, sinuous shadows that stretched and twisted like living things. “Thank you.” David who had just come out of the taxi, said as he bowed and watched the taxi drive off. An oppressed sigh found its way out of his lips as he stood in the same spot for a while. His mind was set alight by a fountain of thoughts that made it hard for him to breathe or concentrate on anything else. “A sin? How is it a sin? And why would you find the pleasure in continuing this sin?” Travis’s words rang in the back of his head, poisoning his heart into a temporary melancholy. “Find the pleasure in continuing this sin? What does he mean? He doesn’t view this as a sin. He does n
“Come out, I am outside.” David whispered over the phone, making Travis’s heart jump, this time with fear. He flinched from the bed and rushed towards his window where he began searching for David. “Where are you? I can’t see you.” Hardly holding his breath, Travis whispered, standing on the balcony, intensely searching for his boyfriend. It was as if he had lost his mind. Travis did not notice the tall walls that prevented him from seeing the world outside the huge gates. “Fuck…!” He said silently to himself when it had finally dawned on him that he had to sneak out of the house and meet his boyfriend. His blood was running warm as his heart uncontrollably jingled in the chamber of his chest. The longing to see David had become an all-consuming force, a restless hunger that gnawed at his very soul. As he stood there, his fingers instinctively curled around the curtain, his nails digging deep into the fabric like talons grasping for an anchor.His breathing grew ragged, a slow, to
——The golden rays of the rising sun slowly floated into the room and landed on Travis’s face whose sleep was quickly chased away. With a frown across his forehead, Travis unhurriedly opened his eyes and let out a groan. He got up and stood straight on the bed before reaching for his phone. “Nine? I’m late for breakfast!” Travis growled as he sprinted to the bathroom. He quickly washed his face, brushed his teeth, and raced downstairs when he was done. He found his grandmother and cousin, Arthur, already seated for breakfast. Jiyeon was absent from the table, something Travis quickly understood. “Sorry…for being late.” He apologised as he sat down on his chair. His grandmother only nodded, while Arthur smiled. “How did you sleep?” Arthur investigated and smiled widely as he sipped his apple juice. “Well, I…slept like a baby,” Travis replied shortly after clearing his throat. He instantly began to recall last night — his hand’s job and then a conversation with Jiyeon. His heart slo
——Lips painted by a red gloss carefully pressed against each other immediately after withdrawing from the white cup. “How are you feeling now, dear?” Mrs Park investigated shortly after placing the empty cup on the table. Her eyes gently fell on Jiyeon who had been nervously staring at the plaster cast around her arm. She bit her lower lip and nodded, “I am…fine.” Jiyeon replied in a voice that had dropped to a whisper. She slowly raised her head and turned her eyes to her left, where Travis was sitting. The boy had been quiet as he asked himself questions as to how Jiyeon got the big bruise on her face. The bruise decorated itself across the left side of Jiyeon’s face like a big wing of a butterfly. Travis wanted to let his eyes linger on Jiyeon’s face, but he couldn’t, he averted his eyes away from her face to his grandmother who seemed to have a lot to say. “It is late, you guys go to sleep, and we will have a talk tomorrow.” Mrs Park suggested instantly after getting up. The t
Silence — it was absolutely hushed. The wind released a soft cry that left a hole of embarrassment in the two boys' hearts. Their eyes nervously darted from one place to the other. Travis shifted from foot to foot, wearing a glowing, sparkling smile that magnificently decorated his face. David silently fought with his heart, urging to gain control over it, but he continued to fail over and over again. No words could describe the amount of jingling in the depths of Travis’s heart as he was fishing for words to spew, but none came forth. “One, two, three...” He counted as he tried to wipe his smile, but he had no control over it. His eyes gently landed on David’s pale face for a brief while and then they quickly flew away from his face to the dusty nightstand. “S-so…how are —!?” “I need to use the bathroom,” David whispered with a hiss when Travis was speaking. The boy quietly nodded and carefully watched David as he hurried into his bathroom. “Calm down, breathe!” Immediately after
•••The rays of the rising sun flooded into the space, gently landing on the black island table that separated the two individuals — one wearing a smirk that was carefully spreading across his face and the other with eyes that were dilated with shock. It was very quiet — so hushed, making it easy for Sean to hear how loud and demanding David’s heart was throbbing. “Remember it, David. Remember well how you tightly clenched the sheets, endlessly moaning my name. I did not force you; you were the one who jumped on me even when I was asking you to stop. You were not drunk; we both know that.” Sean murmured, leaning forward and allowing the sunbeams to expose his green gleaming eyes. The man ensured that his gaze strictly fell on David’s face, studying its movements and the change of colour — from pale to red. David closed his eyes and gritted his teeth so hard that an unbearable pain kept his gums hostage for a short period. He did not want to react to Sean’s words, but his body diso
–“Falling deep into blue…! I wish I did not, but I ended up doing it. It is painful and it hurts so much.” A boy who whispered through his clenched teeth lay on a king-sized bed whose sheets were wrinkled. The beams of the rising sun floated into the huge room through the naked window and landed kisses on his pale, nude body. His eyelids trembled when he felt every warm touch from the sun. A smile faintly spread across his dry, chapped lips immediately when his eyes slowly opened and collided with a white, vaulted ceiling. He bit his lip and closed his eyes again. “How many times have I been looking at you? It is still the same and I hate it. Maybe he should change the design…!” David breathed instantly after clearing his throat and never dared himself to move his body, not even an inch. “Maybe we should do it somewhere else. In another room so that I don’t always look at the ceiling. I had to look at it all night.” The boy added with a loud, rough sigh, ignoring the sun’s beams th
