The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days His Arrival!
"Babe!" The word rang in the depths of Travis's head for the millionth time now. There, his legs began to tremble in his boots. Everything around him started to float as if he were on a ship carried away by a strong current. Out of the blue, his whole body was embraced by shivers that sent the sharpness of coldness throughout his system. Flabbergast — Horror — Confusion; or anything that anyone could think of, was imprinted on Travis's face as he watched an unknown man walk in the direction of David, gently clasping a bouquet of roses in his firm, strong hands. His face glowed as the beams of the setting sun were playfully dancing on every feature of his face. Travis's heart had almost stopped functioning properly, he wouldn't stop looking at David for at least an explanation or any different reaction from just staring at the man. David was quietly standing there, next to Travis and without saying anything, he accepted the bouquet that seemed to be heavy for his hands. "It's been
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Sijag!
[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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days A cold night
[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.
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Haengbog
[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 Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Bittersweet
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 Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Colours
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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Confessions
"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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Spreading Colours
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.

The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Mrs Park's Wish
——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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days PHASE SEVEN: JIYEON CRIES
——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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Together
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 Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Conditions by Sean
•••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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days That night
–“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
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Bad Choices
DAVID CHWE’S POV CONTINUED…[ I REMEMBER…ALL OF IT!] WARNING: AGE GAP! “Are you willing to do anything, boy?” An unfamiliar deep, slightly husky voice investigated. I vigorously nodded, breathing heavily as I stared at the green eyes that were shamelessly following every movement I made. I stood in the same spot and listened to footsteps walk out of the dark towards me. My hands were shaking but I did not intend to run away because I needed a job. I helplessly narrowed my eyes to catch a glimpse of the owner of the voice that made my heart tighten with fear. A step and another, I saw a tall, pale-skinned man in a very black suit looking down at me. His eyes were mysteriously gleaming with glee as they hovered over my trembling, slim figure.I unconsciously took a careful step back, my eyes still glued onto his, as if under a spell. The unknown man scowled at me with amusement and for some reason, I felt like he was looking directly into my soul — I felt all my secrets, fears, and
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Depths Of Memories
[ A PAST AND IMAGES ENGRAVED IN MY HEART; NEVER WILL THEY LEAVE!]DAVID CHWE’S POV: I REMEMBER….“There we go! It started again! The fucken unruly thing!” A dry hiss made a rough escape through my shrivelled lips that I had been trying so hard to keep wet with my tongue until I had no patience anymore. My eyes hastily flew up at the vivid blue sky that was covered by clouds that I instantly caught retiring into an intimate dance with the gentle breeze. I released an oppressed sigh quickly when I felt the sun lay its warm kisses on my red skin. “Another torture,” I whispered to myself, my forehead frowning deeper than it already had. During that moment, I had averted my gaze from the sky to two girls that I shamelessly witnessed as they were burying their heads into an idle talk. Something bothered me or rather, influenced a feeling of envy within me. I know many boys would have widened their eyes with admiration at the sight of the girls, but instead, my eyes widened with envy as I
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days BROKEN HEARTS
A clap of thunder rumbled immediately when his now veiny eyes collided with those harvested by treachery — poison and cold darkness. David felt his chest tightening and he could not breathe. The papers in his hands trembled, some falling on the floor with a silenced, pitiful whine. “This…!” “Your new job!”Mr M intruded on David who could not release words from his quivering, dry mouth. The man’s voice rumbled throughout the dining room, making David’s muscles tighten with fear — afraid to even land his eyes on the one speaking. “New job? W-what…why are Travis’s…pictures…?”David calculated and investigated quietly, his trembling voice dropping into a whisper. He was paralyzed to the spot and could not move his body — he felt cold air bite into his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. His tear-filled eyes darted around, landing on anything possible — from his shaking hands to Mr Sok whose face showed no emotions. Confused, David felt his world start to shake — he felt like he
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days PHASE SIX: DANGER; FOLLOW ME
[CHAINS AROUND MY NECK; DELIVER ME FROM HELL]The wind firmly cried as David stood there, his eyes filled with burning fear while he stared at the gigantic house that was covered by pulsating, crimson-red lights — each blinking as if warning him to go back where he came from and if he were to enter, he’d not come out alive. “RUN!” A sonorous voice in the chambers of his head whispered but he could not move an inch of his body. He stood still as he continuously exhaled deeply. His hands were shuddering deep in his pockets — he was now counting past 51. “RUN!” The same voice advised but once again, David dared not to move — he felt his hands heavy and could not lift any of them. He did want to turn around and leave, and never come back but the longer he looked at the lights blinking in his direction, the sweeter the spell became as it travelled through his head and to the back of his skull. He could take a step back and walk away but he knew the consequences that would come with tha
