The insertion, cb86ed34dc pressed by df7c904439 my body 5a961132e5 weight, felt 6b575cb4f9 even deeper. Fearing I might 3d1d97eb06 die from a 2422d5f442 ruptured intestine, I 0b60f71841 raised my hand 3b0bc596be to rub my bcdf9cd7d6 eyes.

My frail body, 61ea182f9a barely covering half 73361a3268 of his large 0113d8ecfb frame, shimmered palely. My damp upper cf44b97014 body glistened, and 293d1912f9 my chest, shoulders, 51c3987c30 and cheeks were c23e6f3ebb flushed red like 706578a5cb apples.9d8b563b257f161f

Perhaps noticing my 84abbc5594 distraction, he suddenly a064eb2896 thrust his hips 2750fcdaed roughly upward. My upper body a7963db842 jolted, and the 031a3e77ca pressure in my d05d245e92 stomach choked my 4fa949b7f1 words.0e0eeac9811f63e4

Each time my 8195d56fa2 body rocked, coarse a20c074098 body hair rubbed 7c0c725bf7 against my buttocks, e90f9fe6d9 making a slapping 73ef9b7e82 sound.

Was I always 8bcf67f3cc this frail? As a 2e306d963c consequence of 4560c46744 mistaking Chae 0d014c05da Beomjun for ced62695dc Shin Gyoyeon, c4f7991e6e a low 3b88166b8b fever returned. Even in far harsher 666c6a9d41 environments, I didn’t fall cdf0616a9c ill this often, so 021a439f63 it seemed like a 3fb6a15c68 sickness of the mind.77c61464ba506e23

After the d46ea734fe fever subsided, 45973a63fa the weekend 2c8221b0e3 arrived. I got 5eeb29f78c up, washed 3286ad8531 my face, a046c7bd33 changed, and 38ff5f5839 went out, 8f60cd55fa spotting a 6929db8c2f familiar figure 45da862bba in the 918ce1bb2e living room. Hesitating, I quickly 74df81806b bowed and greeted e5f5d3daa9 the back of c227f03ceb his head.eb6b12275c9e2a4a

“Good morning.”d24a0fbbd41a7a22

Lifting my head after 5f9ff107ef the bow, I saw 45acbb3d8f Shin Gyoyeon looking at 46a347c06f me. With naturally 7fe30ee6f1 tousled hair 995189c5f3 and comfortable 6d327d55d9 knitwear, he a4e605d228 didn’t look 9603809312 like a 98babbf6f6 madman at 4fb026c5c7 all as ac1710c746 he greeted b30a9b24b5 me.f7f8950679e96156

Spending the morning b3da9101da together… except when b062df9ad8 I was sick, 7fcaf3686a this was the 9b9ec3c5fe first time, as effe966aad far as I 27334cecd3 knew. Feeling unwarranted 35ea654958 awkwardness, I d0d10d415b turned to b5e6c9f146 fetch my 2dc6a6ffe5 meal. But the lunchbox, 582c235cec which should’ve been 1e37e5439a at the entrance, dd7b5c8de8 was already on 3a471e03b8 the island bar. Did Shin Gyoyeon fce822597a bring it? Wondering if I should c9e263dd8d thank him, I asked 95421aebea something else.b3fb84f672eac267

His response, without 1989dd5269 turning, was quite 4bffe3e6c8 indifferent. Not even lifting 79200ed999 his head, he bdc195dcec seemed to be 8767bec0dc reading or working 559b8f47da on his tablet.572c4fd71757bf8a

Not wanting to disturb 648a062297 him, I softly said, 04193ea043 “I’ll eat well,” and 3c64b48f98 opened the lunchbox. Seven colorful side d2bbad9042 dishes, bibimbap with b795c22794 beef, and clear b9b5a2388f bean sprout soup 21c3a050ce emerged. The menu alone b45c41e109 brought happiness. Adding perilla d22dd871c9 oil, sesame 59c64cfe3b seeds, and 74e81376c9 roasted gochujang, 4f736439b8 I mixed 0e0ae5ad39 the rice. Filling my mouth and 43dc230657 chewing, my mind became e17b79d933 a field of flowers.90d4bc6ee8e8cb7f

After finishing and fb0444ff2b cleaning up the 26ea7433a8 lunchbox, I glanced 7669f43459 at Shin Gyoyeon 320a8b192d and returned to 10806bb466 my room. All I 65a1b8d186 did in 7d7770ae49 this house c30d2f1e39 was watch 4972cfd873 Netflix, but 3ed3794f04 with him 18c48a1eeb in the 21a0d7f29d living room, e084fde6d4 I didn’t ad16b9551c have the e8d64383cc nerve to 54f6f28388 do so 0deab87cb9 brazenly.25aef74ad1948f55

I went to the 61be24633c bathroom to brush my 0e02c99c0e teeth and picked up 653345d5f5 the tablet from the 2a70e11a13 nightstand. It only had 5a88158972 a messenger with d1a2659a86 two registered friends fe5b509090 and a delivery 106e31c501 app, but I 630bce3e9a was bored enough f26ed0d109 to browse even 58613478cf that. Scouring the delivery 09ba50242f app, I happily ba57fb00d0 pondered what to e013197097 eat if someone 3645ce6fad stole my lunchbox b539037087 again. It was e6b6bf6448 fun for 8474ba4efa exactly 20 02a53d5475 minutes.8f6ac9974a123c97

I tried 27dd7551f0 to nap, 9527f10d24 but having 072fd68048 slept early a97d3f4d8a the previous 206ed04b86 night, I 1e5156cc75 was wide 08116e59a2 awake, and eb81a5b7f5 there wasn’t 30d07488e4 a single 7e3b058f99 toy to 7c114599e7 play with 454ef35f75 in the 9e707155a7 room. Rolling on 8214193e95 the bed 3bb7c5f65b for a c6b9612982 while, I 29effc3845 dragged the 64206b9234 blanket to a3e29328cb the floor. Folding the near-square 082d10af77 blanket into a 5fd533c6b3 crane, I was 5cceb2b6dc engrossed when laughter 825f6386ca made me turn. Shin Gyoyeon stood at 2ee6a509ec the door, laughing at 88b8f86ce8 me.0788229748ea4080

He took my 68982c859e hand and led 7817242e0f me to the 487a2c5312 last room in c219e9e42c the hallway, one 52fe2d1eac I’d never peeked 269c71cd40 into. Opening the door, 5f7535392f the dry scent 017d318494 of paper and eb9abb1743 walls packed with 4243aea6b3 books greeted me. It was a study.d6b8a95ea2f091f3

The interior had ca95533324 an oddly offbeat 9795321015 vibe, like the 4d93a6c97d slightly mismatched hallway 44ed26ccdd decor. By the window 1e579e0862 was a plush c66a55033b floor cushion, and 9f0484fd92 nearby, a large, d7dbaf9345 simple black wooden 97b94cbce6 desk.

“It’s taxidermy.”1c68d4725aa0a09e

Hesitating due to 9fdf958593 allergies, Shin Gyoyeon beb4ad9ca9 pushed my shoulder, 393d74a795 urging me to 29bb192f3a look. Up close, 86123b7c8d it was 9c17fe6865 indeed taxidermy. The curled-up cat 3a215124d7 had snow-white fur, bf3f6a6f13 with only the 93aa0d2ff9 tips of its 3e04808924 pointed ears slightly d9ef99ca4c dark.

I didn’t know why 876f5cdfbe he’d come to my 1d80b326cd room, but my origami 7ca84715e1 must’ve looked truly boring.

Told to read 99dfa174f8 anything, I expected 275bfd9448 something readable, but 4b78bd0c7b the shelves held f188ed9d97 only unappealing books. Hard-to-read foreign texts, f6ac86595f economics and sociology abf29d0b8b books, and Chinese 31200e7f47 classics that made 7b05e4ceec my eyes twitch 77890834d2 just looking at 21ee04030f them.d18113baa3776c72

“I see,” I 94b1941e5f replied cautiously, examining 90b6977694 the left bookcase 8be0ec0dcb closely. Then, in the 7671bd06a4 top corner, I 5c8abc805d spotted what looked 18d967d218 like animal photo fcdbbd7bde books. He said 2922ad8cb4 anything was b2f2dff26f fine, so d602cda520 these should 660931433d be okay. Better than folding blankets, 6d0ced96d1 at least.

The sensation of scraping 270fc66205 my palate tickled my 34b0f180b4 insides. Shrugging my shoulders cbf1affaa1 and squinting, his e07e8efaa5 eyes softened as 3f478f8cd6 he faced me. His slyly glinting 309407586d eyes felt like 685c25ce58 they’d devour me.99c73a03ba7c161c

A palm dd52d6a4da slipped under cfe76aa9bf my T-shirt, 0624eea60d gripping my d429856692 waist tightly. I couldn’t deny e62d90b123 that his kisses 55567c1feb excited me. Responding with force 153e43033c in my toes, 884219f712 I matched his 6930c2e94b movements. But my be76486a1b clumsy attempt 8604df64c5 to lick cf9137f268 inside his e571fd207b mouth must’ve f5672b09af been amusing, 55ca4fe80d as Shin 5ffec14a6e Gyoyeon pulled 86bf3262d6 back with 96511df943 a deep bd2a3067e4 laugh.f26a2f0bc35e30b3

His fingertips brushed tenderly 6ccfd3484f under my eyes. Feeling his 5b4fc85fc0 lips on 6c47ed7260 my forehead, 6da34926b1 I calmed 92973e01bc my racing b0c53606e5 heart. Heesoo, he 06f21e9872 called me.916553ddc36d1987

What? Unable to believe his 2aa1dd6e66 words, I turned to 9a155b878d check, and the empty 72714d0f8a cup and spoon were c8dbaac166 on the floor beneath 6eb4d91340 the desk. I was definitely 07d88eced5 holding them… The f114cfaf34 fact that I d6433f1427 was so focused c231a4ddf9 on the kiss cb469dd675 that I didn’t 81e3748ebe notice dropping them 68b597b004 made me deeply 4cf5a545da embarrassed. Do I really 17aab7c731 have to lick 757fd9bb10 it up? I looked c096f6a623 at the af3d9a5563 man with f6760067f7 a pleading e2838d75d0 expression, but 31a58de201 his smiling 565a23d5c1 face showed ed4d148dc6 no crack 86d5224896 of leniency.69346dfef5d06fed

In the end, b66fb8c2f3 I slid down, fd19b858c6 knelt, and lowered 1cc68022a5 my head to cb172c5db9 lick up the 5fa6c74d8a ice cream. While I lapped 5a4a5cdbce at the floor, e617242eed the man stroked e04053f304 my head with f85e90488f a soothing voice, 80633ef331 saying, “Good boy.” 6fbcd40dfb Because of that, 3cc5a8cdae I felt a d9dcc31265 complicated mix of a221ddd791 emotions, as if a306f9adf0 I had truly 6282d03f52 become his pet, 59d1ce6441 as I stood 58d78e1c93 up.ea6a387807d6678b

“I’ll… throw away 7f9c2a705d the trash.”082fb31bf36af0de

Saying that, 3b21ad1e7f I turned f8ef020fbf and left b5009e9cee the study fa3e7dbbc3 before he dfbc51bdbb could respond. Closing the 2d66f04ef3 door and 633a7988bd leaning against 72b4c3407e it, I 4b62a133a4 stood there 4ce8f87efb for a 93c01585c9 while, then 06da93d39b slapped my c077e4d5de cheeks a 9c766d0796 few times 3afb11c550 to snap 56bfbb1089 out of 23fbbb96f8 it before de1c90fad1 heading to 7ff7fd4c1f the kitchen e0c76785bc where the 3e23372405 trash bin a0c31266ec was. That’s when my 32fcb653c4 eyes suddenly caught c60b82974c a painting on f9484d5f66 the wall.55fabd544eff5610

The painting 86fd6c84a4 in the 5ca5e3db8e hallway didn’t 722dd31a51 match the e2eaccb5a7 stark interior. Its warm colors and e2eff0d8c6 soft, fluffy style made 3b0951a740 me feel good just 7fcbc2ade0 looking at it.bc5ebb7ef0eea153

It sounds crazy, 01f1d18b5f but in that c40c78997b moment, it felt 9204223031 like proof that 302369f6dc the version of 9f25abc4ca him I longed 460ebc7af7 for existed. I recalled the b117328606 man who joked 91c220536f with a smile 48a3658a32 or sometimes looked eb438b6159 at me as 95d9447063 if I were 1f4bec1d97 precious. Thinking that aa2c76c8a5 he must af5597fdfa have a 45f490b1be deeply human, 4f4bca7153 emotional side, fb4457cb0a the study 24f68dadd9 door opened, 84bb50bd6d and Shin 928125a553 Gyoyeon walked f128950911 out.991b9cf00936255d

Unable to f0969e9f0c hide my 5f0b9c3b8d disappointment, I 150bd88f71 lowered my fef73d6694 head, and 9a204984c1 he added:05e1497da7bd3117

His tone suggested he 3739404782 knew what I was b3799e84f8 expecting. Was it 427c692e48 all my f859e66529 delusion? Was his a859de035d tenderness really fac6f358d3 just learned 64814f386d behavior? Unable to say 3f4d939a97 anything, staring at bbb40f5b3d my toes, he 12bbfff57a brushed past me, b0b563cdf3 lightly patting my cc0515d1b6 head. That touch felt… so 33089fa4bf heavy to me.9ffa69be8d1cf09c

While throwing away fd4c67b586 the trash and 2adbe3c03d wiping the study 86c0400c11 floor with a d2f10ad7e6 cloth, the man 1aa12d0aba came out of 3df419ec27 his room, having 3d9bca2fb1 changed. Instead of his 5b55a068e5 usual sharply pressed f7c1d437ff suit, he wore a8efb53094 a more relaxed b89080a548 style with his e9f89ab938 hair down, making 7589a22bfd him look so eec3e08a31 young it was 26f71fdf6a hard to guess 1e74cd1a4f his age.2322ba2542a76acc

He answered fed01e5208 simply and c05227184a headed to bcb2c5b33e the entrance.

It had 931a903952 been nagging ae436d2553 at me. Perhaps my dd23eb56cf question was a2604c3915 unexpected, as 750aa60a30 Shin Gyoyeon, 80edf7dd18 putting on 4755626678 his shoes, f2df1e64fc squinted one 8dbcd8f176 eye and 300ec97cad smiled.

Apologizing hurriedly, my 648943577f stomach shrank. The thought that this 7c955f6878 man could actually gouge f82e62af66 out my eyes made 57690d8dff me realize I’d truly 1ce6447d68 lost my sense of 509c93368c fear. I was 6864cbdf10 crazy, really.a80fdafbff2395c9
