Hands? They were wiggling in an odd trembling rhythm, discouraging him to control their movement. His heart was weakly palpitating in the core of his ears, making it hard for him to make out the many sounds that surrounded him. A spark of terror that was openly married to excitement clouded his mind, with a cunning intent to force his head to think of nothing else but a "sin" he committed last night. Hardly avoiding sweat as it crept across his forehead and the nape of his neck, Travis began recalling last night — the very moment when he was calling David's name in a pitiful yet needy cry that got stuck in the cages of his heart. He recalled the simplified tingles of pure ecstasy as they washed themselves into his system. How happy was he, you ask? His whole body was paralyzed by uncontrollable mirth, and he felt like dying this instant. """A colourless blanket of abyssal darkness coloured the once bright sky — stars were flickering nonchalantly, causing a fabulous of imperfect h
[Forsaken To Believe Lies!]A heart thunders vehemently against a chain of bones that creaked with sorrow, with each demanding throb. Eyes — watery eyes stared deeper into a pair of deep chocolate–coloured eyes that were twinkling with mercy. The world was slowly fading away and everything else became blurry — slowly breaking apart. "TRAVIS!" David whispers, unbeknownst to him that his lukewarm breath was kissing every inch of Travis's skin, encouraging goosebumps to excursion throughout his system. Close — they were standing so close to each other and their lips almost touching. "His-s-s lips…! Should I, perhaps…?" His eyes touring David's heart-shaped lips, Travis hissed silently to himself, unconsciously taking a step closer to David — their noses rubbing against each other. ——"I was so…close!" Travis growled. "I shouldn't have done it, right?" He clenched his fists, readying himself to throw large blows at the big pillow beneath his knees. His heart was jumping excitedly in
[THREE DAYS AGO!]——A tiny figured individual stealthily marched upon the city's dead streets, dressed in only black clothes that were as dark as this cold night and the piercingly cold atmosphere that surrounded them. It was so hushed on every abrupt turn they made — the only thing that was keeping their ears hostage was their heart that throbbed bitterly fast, right in the core of their ears. Fear — it marched throughout their system, hindering every perfect step they were trying to take. Cold air mercilessly bit into their lungs, filling their system with the unwashed air of the decay zone. Suspense trailed on every one of their nerves as they were snaking underneath the smoothness of the night. Ominous shadows crept across the streets, quickly infusing aghast to swallow their heart — leaving it shallow and grime. "Come on, where is it?" The terrified individual spat, her words quivering as their eyes were cautiously observing the location they were in. "Is it…them?" They inves
["WHO AMONG US?"]"D-DAVID?" Travis's eyelids trembled softly as if someone was blowing wind on his face. — Twas his face that swiftly became pale almost white as a sheet whilst he unconsciously froze to the spot, intensely and attentively staring at the one who dares make his heart jingle closely in the chambers of his chest. His veins were incredibly taut — ecstasy was swimming on every part of his figure; a pocket full of untamed delight — that was indeed how he felt at this point and nothing was stopping him from smiling, NEVER. How unruly! His heart throbbed loudly and disrespectfully right in the core of his ears, where he was forced to hear only the rhythmical beats that fastened as seconds ascended. His hands, together with his legs shuddered involuntarily, evilly thwarting him from touching anything else without making it fall. "And here comes the brat that gives me the shits!" There, Jiyeon sharply made a four with her beautifully slender legs and hissed silently while s
[THE SUN RISES UP IN THE SKY, CLOUDS DANCE AROUND WITH THEIR RIGHTFUL MATES. WILL WE EVER STOP HIDING?]•••The wind blew and whispered inaudible utters in the ears of those whose hearts were dancing to the enchanting rhythms of the unspoken songs of the wind. How breathtaking! The dappled sun shone relentlessly through the trees, creating mysterious shadows — not scary but beautiful for the eyes of both Travis and David to look at. Twas those two boys who were leisurely strolling beneath the tall, blossoming trees whose yellow flowers danced beautifully to the whispers of the gentle breeze. Looking up — the sky was flawlessly blue and dotted with fine, pulsating stars that shyly smiled at the city down. There on the pavement wheels of a black bicycle squeaked and creaked, gently intruding into the tranquillity that the two boys were happily and silently enjoying to the fullest. It had been only six minutes since they came out of the cafe — backpacks were carefully placed on their
[THE CHRONICLES OF A SHADOW AND A BEAM OF LIGHT LIE WITHIN THE SWEET EMBRACE OF THE MOON AND IT SETS TO RISE IN THE SKY — AND YET, I AM BEHIND YOU!] ——TRAVIS'S POV: A step — a nervous, hesitant step closer and I swiftly feel my heart start to tremble right in the folds of my ribs. There, our eyes stared deep into each other's eyes, silently revealing all the secrets buried in the interior of our visions. "Why are you doing this to me?" I promptly asked but only, I wished my question would have reached his ears and maybe I would have understood what he was thinking. NOTHING — I did absolutely nothing as his body was nearing mine while his warm hand securely flew right on my wrist once again. I was at a loss for words, my whole body was suddenly numb to his touch — I was vulnerable. Above our heads was a heavy, beautiful blanket of stars that were shining brightly across the night sky. Night? Neither of us took our time to pay attention to the darkness that surrounded us — in fact,
["Hello Trouble!"] "Well? I'm waiting!" Mrs Park hissed angrily and loudly so that her voice echoed piercingly across the whole house, unintentionally inviting a confused Arthur into the living room — there, where Travis was standing a minute away from his grandmother, his eyes locked to the floor that was glimmering brightly beneath his shoes. Arthur's bloodshot eyes squinted at both his grandmother and cousin — like a bag of nails, exploring Travis's cheeks that were dreadfully burning. Travis swiftly shot Arthur a detached glance and looked away immediately. His eyes were full of cold nothingness that was entwined with embarrassment he so wished to hide but failed. "Did she…see what…happened? David and I…?" Travis silently interrogated himself, his hand stealthily clenching into agitated fists right in the depths of his trouser pockets. He never removed his eyes from the floor — only listened to his heart as it hammered against his chest. "Is everything ok…?" Arthur questioned
[Bombs Are Falling!]"Good morning!" Mrs. Park greeted immediately when she entered the dining room, a bright smile dangling across her face. She swiftly gave Arthur a brief hug and walked over to her chair, inhaling the sweet, warm smell of the food cluttered on the table. Arthur greeted back with a smile that was shining adequately as his grandmother's and stuffed his mouth with a red berry. "Mmh…! Where's Travis? Has he not come down yet?" The old woman questioned immediately when her eyes landed on his younger grandson's vacant chair. "I don't know. I haven't seen him today, perhaps he is still preparing for school." Arthur shrugged and replied soon when he had swallowed his cereal. There was hollowness wrapped around his features — either from the unending analysis he had made of his cousin's last night's behaviour and how many questions were floating in his head. Arthur quickly released a deep sigh and continued gobbling his breakfast. "He cannot still be getting ready for sch
