CG | Chapter 1.9
Even if they're not repulsed, not many people actively seek out bugs. Lane's eyes widened in genuine shock. Sean was slightly taken aback by his more shocked reaction than expected. Even though Lane was someone who didn't care much about the world and played well on his own, Sean thought he would know that his tastes weren't mainstream. "Do you think it's gross too?" Lane, who had been frozen like someone facing a plot twist, asked quietly. Sean quickly shook his head and began to reassure…-

CG | Chapter 1.8
As Sean laughed and tried to soothe him, Lane fell silent. If he didn't like it, he would have pushed him away, but since he left him alone, it seemed his mood had improved. Sean chuckled and yawned. Although he usually woke up well, there were times when he slept for ten hours or more when he let his guard down, and today seemed to be one of those days. He had gone to bed early, yet he still felt sleepy. "Are you sleepy?" Lane, who had been silent, quietly asked. Sean, who was regretfully…-

CG | Chapter 1.7
Curious gazes turned toward Lane. The kids, who had already bonded in first grade, eagerly made room for him and bombarded him with questions, but Lane sat at his desk, seemingly oblivious to the attention and the chatter directed at him, completely absorbed in a thick picture book. A child who only looked at books filled with drawings of insects, flowers, and trees was quickly forgotten by the group. Still, a few kids continued to hover around Lane. Take Sean Delight, for example. Acting on his…-

Hearing Sean's words, his mother hardened her expression and turned away. She placed bowls of macaroni salad and mashed potatoes on the table for the five of them, and as she brought the last dish, meatball spaghetti, she said, "Don't side with your father. We're not going to see each other much longer anyway." "Don't talk like that when the custody hasn't been decided yet." "In case you forgot, you were the one who started cheating first. Let's see whose side the judge takes." "Even if you get…-

Lowering his gaze to the plate, Sean stared at the clean white bottom and quietly closed his lips. He had just eaten, but his stomach felt empty. The hollow sensation from the hunger made Sean lift the glass he was holding and drink the juice he had poured. Even after gulping down the sour juice, his stomach didn't feel full. As he pondered the strange, unfulfilled hunger, Sean thought about ordering two pizzas to eat when he got home. .☘︎ ݁˖.☘︎ ݁˖.☘︎ ݁˖ The Saturday morning he had…-

CG | Chapter 1.4
Anyway, Lane says things like that without knowing this tragic backstory. He wanted to just blurt it out, but even with a close friend, this kind of story was a bit much. Unlike the typical image of a flirtatious blonde white guy, Sean was surprisingly shy. Unlike friends who kissed in public, he only kissed or pecked when they were alone. Given the circumstances, he couldn't talk about explicit topics with Lane. Especially not a topic that could be a significant flaw. "Got it." Sean backed…-

Sean, as if shaking off the feeling, smiled with his eyes. However, for the moment, he felt uncomfortable facing Lane, so he turned his back and resumed chopping the half-cut onion. The sound of the kitchen knife scraping against the wooden cutting board echoed. "And I think I should tell you this in advance." Following that sound, Lane spoke. "I'm interested in them. So I'd appreciate it if you could help." The knife blade, striking once more, nicked the tip of his nail at that moment.…-

The recently oiled, gleaming hardwood floor was well-maintained, with not a single splinter. Conscious of Lane's dislike for wearing shoes indoors, he took off his sneakers and hung them on his left index and middle fingers. Holding the dangling large canvas shoes, Sean looked around. The living room, kitchen, and reception room were empty. Lane's parents were currently traveling in Europe, so Lane was the only one in the house. "Lane?" He called quietly, but there was no response. After checking…-

CG | Chapter 1.1
The weather was amazing from Saturday morning. It seemed like summer was finally making its appearance, with the sky clear and cloudless, and the wind blowing coolly—ruffling hair without being cold. Sean Delight, who had passed out after a party that lasted until dawn, woke up to the breeze sneaking in through the open window. As soon as he became conscious, an unbearable thirst hit him. When he lifted his stiff body, he felt a heavy weight on his chest. Looking down to see what it was, he saw a…-
