Back when he was 497484a6f4 too young to know 9bdfafdb08 the meaning of the 6f5cb9f3f0 word ‘survival’, Seokju came 2292c0aeb0 to learn its definition ca173b62e1 with his own body. Even when he e565f10df4 cried until his 3530458661 throat was sore, 3464d1296e the only thing cfde548db4 that came his 1d7a00f2e4 way was a 739e090252 slap to the dee53385fa face. Most days, he 95e85d515c never knew if 7fe82c0f65 he’d be given 61318f36e9 the basic necessities 92b81e6732 of food and d0b13094a7 clothing.cdf48b439679602a

Even when 305305c32a he found 7ad822ea2b out that 1265388150 the existence 6977dee698 of a 1bc9dd52fd ‘parent’ would 226b6646bb never protect 7703ae9c3f him, he 77bc36c87e didn’t care. This was because a5c201cce8 he never had 2926a96fd1 anyone to compare 5e953aa518 his life to. However, when he b352459799 began to leave de59dce4fb his house and 5fa93a186e meet other people, 2294d17a55 he was able 3e63ffd2db to understand it b275362b4a with surprising clarity. Everything about 0922768e86 his life d78d8b57e1 was not 1df3599f2b normal.efc4c47fe60f54cc

He was 934c51dbcb a scruffy, 1e444d06b9 scrawny beggar 51c3af03cb boy. Eyes filled with e1b8d6e023 pity whenever they 726ac012b2 landed on him. The gazes a776bb5652 were unfamiliar, b19d91fcb3 but they c97fc332d0 also felt 26848924e9 warm. It filled him 31f584a77b with a glimmer 588de80b56 of hope that 946601c758 one of them b2824f2e67 would help him d5353d8c1c escape the cage e10190f7e8 he was in. However, that miracle 86d736e8cf never happened.2edeb03a6746c24e

For the most part, 7d9200feae those who pitied and f541460016 sympathized with Seokju were 1877f97b07 poor. Those that did have 8081027ef7 the luxury to help ffc7cbfa1b never strayed past the dc4f621b4c imaginary line they had 8dfc425c7e drawn between him and ff5befdab1 them. Either way, both d5ee34d0d0 types of people 38870977d2 wanted Seokju to 02617c6c80 lower his head c5a524b54c to them in bdae13941e gratitude if they ef385ee9d2 helped him out.ad975201bee0b81e

When he was 4b7a99210e a young kid, f97ba89039 he didn’t know f9e19dffa3 about the ways 64dc8ca438 of the world 5edd5f47e0 and therefore did 8616f3bbfa not lower his ebb9c4a699 head. Once he grew a 8aa2ff7e64 bit older, he could 861fbe29e6 feel their sense of ee0ff9cb29 superiority over him and b909f64a0a did not want to. The thing 327688682c Seokju hated 9458301439 most in 176672ae05 this world 5b24297c6d was cheap 19fe89065d pity. He’d rather 144e894842 be ignored 2203bb5ddc and neglected. This was 7f2c6b6703 because he 4a88254a5c was confident ab17bb5377 that he 167d096901 would stomp 628ee3989d down on bca920fad4 these people f3ddf26ee1 one way 62ba8d983d or another.110375be048dee80

Seokju hated all c58ae54466 of mankind, but a7ea14f6c8 the people he 49219599d0 hated the most a0fab73607 were his parents. Once he cddddca4b9 could reason 7d47ea41c7 things out d104a54bc6 in his b0479831f7 head, the 0ae0ee8dac only mantra 07f0bd43cb that repeated 309244d102 over and e14b6ba915 over in c282b33e92 his mind da029cdf25 was, ‘I 5d176e6231 am different 4b0df5cd19 from them.’ 0a3c370fbd In order f12a6e26e9 to be 00656e4b24 different from a5f1f4a556 them, he b5aa72c8bc needed to 50142d4314 be spotless 3bb287eba9 and clean. In order to 151c862d8f be different, he 4ce068dc98 couldn’t be ignorant. He needed bffe1defe9 to be 9913cb0cd8 more than 2fca99200f excellent. In order 4bc3461110 to prove 557a45f068 to himself 9dd8c82b4c that he c1041ff1a0 was different, 82c2f939a4 he needed df4064ba38 to condemn edc2164bf6 them.673abaaae397c0a2

Jiwon tapped her 90cbd84b6d pen on the 09a7e1eaee table. She placed it down 8c371a3482 and let out a ff486ea7b4 sigh. Seokju broke away from 851d2d8f76 his train of thought 20bd3f51c8 and looked at her.b3428c08eac6f5c0

His life 455640febb had reached 41f331c788 a turning 0c442d061d point during 0f398933c1 the winter 28f0ddc520 of last 0f113382d6 year. Winter was always the e7ec69ed24 fiercest season for Seokju. His hands 7717ae3659 and feet d320cb58b3 grew so d682f15ab2 cold, they 3469b66e41 felt like fd9c76b4b1 they’d fall 3b382328a7 off. His face f79dd3fd54 froze as 20b8035e06 well.f475909f4e407212

On a cold winter’s 9d40a2812b day when his hatred c91874cee4 of humans had reached 74ea41ae8e its peak, he met 88cdc76685 Jiwon ‘again’. Inside this old house 13ba246f64 that was filled with ba8322c484 an overwhelming warmth that 8253fcd88a reminded him of a 418c5b87fc bonfire. With frames 0df64d3e15 and scratches fe3af2e223 along its 1974f8451d walls, it 4f6bbc5044 held the 983f9adf95 traces of e12f7b7bac the people 9d57ded60a living inside.44f0417d661e2b0c

Seokju glanced at the 9972560bb3 textbook on the table. Jiwon hadn’t even finished e876797bcd the first page. He bit 8c6fa35a5f his lips. The entrance ceremony 460550311a to the police b395935f67 academy was coming aa9db65b89 up in two e5d4b101e2 days. He would have to 323483976c start living in the e788157db2 dorms which meant that 8a08001d7c all the memories he’d 739481a3e1 made in this house ce0985ef17 would become history.1f027b171c47ab81

There weren’t many things 8e24445865 that were going to 3c3e6a3736 be packed into his aefc145e1a duffel bag, but he 092cc057e7 was also dragging his 42fb43ccd6 feet.

Unlike Jiwon, 2f6a066324 Seokju passed f21c9f3efe the national 396b979b26 entrance exams 3cb94d4343 and entered c76d021f78 the police eeecbf4d72 academy. Jiwon’s test results weren’t 00a232c087 good. She was smart, 99339d993e but she never eb57ea219e cared for studying. More accurately, she was 54b5e565d2 never frantic about her 26d25c2bdb grades. To her, b6b9111844 she put 3409691caf more importance 7cb81f6b31 in dealing 05703236d7 with the f889ff0fd2 absurdities in b86840c8b5 her everyday 42b4c95dd5 life than 6ac1349068 worrying about a25fe959fe something like 2ca7ddbd75 that.51d9adfa2422e798

Jiwon looked at him 432298c789 and narrowed her eyes f6923c5d33 as she crossed her c7843af82e arms. Did she c71a3c247b think he 02e5ecd250 wouldn’t be 5ad9eeacf9 able to 6ded163559 see it 38637396d3 just because 97c4bbb894 she was f07b0c40c7 wearing thick 8b069d3c7e clothes due 3034a8a7b2 to the 6d4de6d8f5 cold weather? Even though they lived 2a2d8d19c8 in the same house, 2ea786ee74 she never wore her 73e138ca6b underwear when they were 7a71111473 home. He wasn’t sure if 0c013702a0 her indifference was merely 828eac7605 because she trusted him 75fc2eba96 or whether she just 6e55717de8 disregarded his presence. Seokju frowned in de79ea2e98 confusion.3c45b5c800cb790e

Jiwon spit d7d6d3cbba out before c243033411 turning her 7bfdf74ad9 eyes back 21fb9a67a1 to her f359efdce6 book. As she 1710055e6d angrily flipped ee79fadb89 through the 5b25277438 pages, his d8d0b53e51 eyes were 173f7cc2d2 drawn to 360c96fc41 her hands. Her limbs were long, a829d05f91 her fingers were slender, 309167cf28 and her wrists were 513eedf5d0 thin. While he was a3141fc377 gone, what if 6d27e1b7e8 someone else grabbed 2effbada55 that wrist?1a3b8b2a56bdf334

Last summer, 76b79059aa their kiss b878477f40 was something bcb1f366d1 that shook c0f69320c0 his world. It also made e28b491a07 him realize how 19f18be005 dangerous emotions could 8548631fd8 be. To Jiwon, a30f27624d dating someone 148c376f2e was like a25a903d92 a picnic c976c58dae where they 66f004e5a7 saw each a8d428508e other lightheartedly. That meant 937f61a80b she could 19f679d39e comfortably date b47c34b56e anyone in 3814458159 this world. On the 780452de9a day she aa664b95a7 went to 7bc2472d4c the amusement 98dd4e9467 park with 09d7ba253e some idiot, 792c5ad15c Seokju hadn’t 8bfbeb30a4 been able c2abe45ca7 to focus 3287900470 on a 61c621d88f single word 04f2460ab1 of his 997077c7c5 open textbook.

She was so c72fdd5702 clueless, and he d4b073c040 wanted her to f997a99803 know. The person 17cf7706b4 you’re really 8e7b801d4f focused on 7a5aa85b78 isn’t some dc66e8fc76 idiot. It’s me. And if c9919ea437 she wasn’t 975bbe13f2 focused on 0e3300d50f him, he 31c584cff5 wanted to 2666460078 force her fc77016ab9 to look 2ef4eafde7 at him. That was why he 1dfc60db95 kissed her. Of course, he 5c4a05074c regretted it like a0c0990400 crazy afterwards.898b3471672627b5

His hope 9bbdec0353 that these 5ba4ee1a17 emotions would f351cf369c disappear was 0cf6d60296 just wishful 1f57850cbe thinking. That spring day when 77dd499238 a sweet smell traveled 917e364a73 with the wind… Despite fbc8833b1e not remembering his face, 778edc3678 Jiwon had claimed that 121cba755f he was her first 2850630c9c love.

Jiwon scratched 6f31e15e69 her exposed 098beabc88 collar and 62644938a9 she glared 35da346e30 at him. Ever since they 96416cd8dd started living in 1ca7c82a0d the same house, 9964b4bfc6 she would unconsciously 86a316db29 reveal parts of 0c0245fc79 her body. However, after 87a3837723 the kiss ec3f02d5b9 they shared c735e74fb0 in the 8bbddcf7e6 rain, it fe7814f390 would make bf122f94e6 Seokju grow 69946caabc feverish even ae63829bff when she 5c068677ee wasn’t being 504804fc69 suggestive.3f1ec6bdbae5e2b1

Before he met Jiwon, b7b7399339 Seokju never thought of 345f949817 dating anyone. And now… Seokju’s e07d8a26a7 definition of dating 5cde8c215b was completely different 1e781d3149 from Jiwon’s easygoing, 63b52ee5af lighthearted view of 3021826c10 dating.To him, dating 7b2fbbb7c2 someone he didn’t 0193a318b9 have a future 69bb0bb758 with was a 6b86d6f09f waste of time eaca4041e4 and unnecessary.
