The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Study Time!
The time for exams was arriving — little by little, the week quickly came. Everyone was busy preparing for the exams — they even went out of their comfort zones and dared to extend their time at school, staying behind and doing revisions. Travis and David were among those who wanted to go beyond. The boys had swiftly forgotten about an incident that took place four days ago — at least David still kept it within the chambers of his heart and he was quietly investigating whatever that he witnessed. It was no longer a problem for Travis because for some reason, his grandmother gave him full permission to stay behind to study and promised that she would talk with Mr Sok. The two boys were alone in the art room, their usual place. They have been studying mathematics since it was announced that it'll be the first subject they are going to open the examinations with. “...and don't forget to always check your numbers more than once, just to be sure of your answers.” David, who was sitting a

The time for exams was arriving — little by little, the week quickly came.

The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Leisurely!
“Ahh! Calm down, dear heart! Always take a deep breath in and then out when pressure begins to overwhelm my spirit.” Travis, who was seated quietly in a classroom that was enveloped by a blue code of silence, pacified himself soon when he felt his hands begin to tremble. His eyes were trained on the watch that was loudly ticking on the wall. There were ten minutes left until the examination began and he could already feel his muscles tighten as his chest heaved with uneasiness — the boy was nervous. “Whatever that happens, give it your all and don't let pressure break the bones of your brain. Fight and never say never.” Rushing back in his head, Travis whispered the words that David had said to him last night during a phone call. The boy closed his eyes and for some reason, his head decided to teleport his being back when he unintentionally eavesdropped on his grandmother as she was whispering words to Arthur. “...! I know but he has to pass! He must, it doesn't matter if it is not
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Suspects
[The Last Day of School Before Holidays.]The whole classroom was blooming with a cacophony of whispers, giggles and guffaws. Every corner was set up by the gentle beams of the sun as buzzing murmurs danced across the whole room. Everyone was impatiently waiting for the last, special bell to ring — after it, everything came to an end but not for good. The bell ringing would mean that the school hours were ending but only for a few weeks and a month. There, David and Travis were finally happy that neither of them was sitting too far from the other, that is what David was thinking at the moment. As for Travis, he was ecstatic, remembering a second he opened his mouth to tell his grandmother about his progress — about his school results. The old woman who was seemingly holding her breath, waiting for the news from Travis finally released a deep, loud breath when her grandson aired, at last. She quickly got up from her chair and rushed towards Travis and without warning, enveloped her i
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Anthem Of Fear
[Kiss Me Harder, I Won't Run, I Promise!]The whole building was overwhelmed by blue and red piercing lights that luminously swam in the atmosphere, mischievously travelling across the whole place whilst rudely exposing people who tried to hide their evil deeds — a few of them, of course not many liked how the light approached them. Loud, deep house music vibrantly and unceremoniously punctured into the ear chambers of those inside who were lost in the rhythms of each beat. Everyone had to shout their lungs out whenever they spoke to their companions. One would see that as an unhealthy thing to even look at or want to experience, however, that did not matter to the people in the luxurious club. It wasn't very hard for Travis and David to find the group. As Kevin had mentioned in their chat group, the rest of the group was sitting at the furthest table, away from the many eyes of people. “You are ten minutes late! What took you so long?” Upon landing her eyes on the tall figure of Tr
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Phase Five: What's Going On?
[In The Middle Of The Night!] “Should I tell them, David?” Kevin hissed, a treacherous smile stuck on his face whilst his eyes slyly observed as David silently struggled with his words. The boy could feel everyone's heavy eyes placed on his figure — his shoulders had suddenly become heavy and he could not breathe. For some reason, Travis's eyes carefully pasted themselves on Kevin and glided on the smallest parts of his figure. “Too many secrets, I wonder if you are a cheetah!” Travis spoke to himself as he took a deep breath into his system. “I'm sorry, Travis!” David whispered under his breath just when he had cleared his throat. “Oh well, it seems like he is shy!” Kevin chuckled. “Guys, I will tell you who this is!” Kevin spat and huffed. “This is David's…!”“I'm David's brother, nice to meet all of you!” Kevin quickly blurted, a smile mischievously stuck across his face while his eyes followed David's movements as he flinched with surprise. The boy had already closed his eyes
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Lust full
“You are not going anywhere tonight! I won't let you run away again!” Sean who was grinning whilst his eyes were glistening with glee, spoke as he carefully took careful, menacing steps towards David. David — he frowned, definitely not because he was afraid, but of course, confused. “What do you…want, Sean?” The boy huffed soon when folding his arms across his chest that was leisurely heaving. Right there, Sean threw out a soft yet slightly rumbling chuckle that echoed evilly throughout the room before making a mischievous float in David's ears. “No, David. That question belongs to me! I should be the one to ask you that very question: What do you want?” Sean hissed while his face was being enveloped by a smirk that sent chills all over David's system. “I mean, instead of spending the night with Travis, you're here after you made it clear that you don't want to see me again. Or is it that you miss “us” too much? What? You just can't handle it yourself? The truth does bites but at le
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days No Point Of Return
The door opened with a thunderous bang and there was a breathy David whose whole features were covered with tiny, glistening beads of sweat — some lazily flowing down on the nape of his neck. His red cheeks were slowly starting to become pale whilst on the other side, his hands trembled as if they had just come out of ice cold water. With legs that were so numb and unwilling to obey all the orders of his mind, David shuffled towards the first basin that his bloodshot eyes landed upon soon when he threw himself in the bathroom.“No! No! No!” The boy growled and released a cry filled with pity. He cupped water with his quivering hands and without ever thinking, splashed it on his sweating face. Right there, he felt cold air as it was biting into his lungs and in that brief moment, he realised that his breathing was uneven — he could not breathe. His lips quickly became black and blue just when he closed his eyes and the only thing he saw was Sean's tattooed, naked body. “Damn you!” Da

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
