Back when he 4bf9857441 was too young 299bb345ce to know the 303783be40 meaning of the 57fb10c780 word ‘survival’, Seokju 476ab7cbb1 came to learn 1bf921b49a its definition with 1d129dfbea his own body. Even when he cried 4b87f40f6e until his throat was db5de8448d sore, the only thing db3e397580 that came his way 8c59ac223e was a slap to 546bf42a17 the face. Most days, 77f84b0c42 he never 5c41717306 knew if 1b80913595 he’d be 90ca744093 given the 0a7eb0906b basic necessities d0f84cb1f6 of food f43aa54b8e and clothing.633edaabc13994fb

Even when d35fc14071 he found f021502a27 out that 62ab34269c the existence 3f38022d9d of a ef76746bf3 ‘parent’ would 73f8362a34 never protect c535100234 him, he ed60695718 didn’t care. This was because he 8ad6bdaea3 never had anyone to 80489376af compare his life to. However, when he 4d6a9023b5 began to leave 3385a33144 his house and febfef8858 meet other people, 0bcc5cb623 he was able 3fe7de52f8 to understand it 0a43a94a95 with surprising clarity. Everything about his life 2c503ad58a was not normal.85f227a8326879bd

He was a 7a8f287591 scruffy, scrawny beggar ef2db81158 boy. Eyes filled with pity 176859665c whenever they landed on 63bafc032d him. The gazes 8120be3285 were unfamiliar, b43b67e38f but they ec5f8a3bad also felt 1e02595f64 warm. It filled him 7b2c777e3a with a glimmer 8d0b8fdace of hope that b05d9873f5 one of them e100b8888b would help him 9645977af7 escape the cage 10cdbfeaab he was in. However, that miracle db31081de4 never happened.e4db1cd2defc8698

For the most part, 2c30db58c3 those who pitied and 8ac73992f8 sympathized with Seokju were 05b90b4c25 poor. Those that did 3f20ba187e have the luxury 6775bff696 to help never 6cb258b31f strayed past the d1adf50fa2 imaginary line they 8b5e3af775 had drawn between 7929120f70 him and them. Either way, both types ee1b4c369f of people wanted Seokju a9f0151920 to lower his head f821654117 to them in gratitude 14548b5891 if they helped him fd84dd4777 out.4b745ad3bd9ec352

When he was a f01f28d956 young kid, he didn’t 4e23650807 know about the ways 4574e8a930 of the world and 1e5a8d4c5a therefore did not lower 1303049700 his head. Once he grew a cdaed1a1a6 bit older, he could 0ac51cc5f3 feel their sense of 647d1f80c0 superiority over him and 6239f116f8 did not want to. The thing 4ab51d2f1d Seokju hated 8f29c434e6 most in dc111239b4 this world 33eff67902 was cheap 1cd7ac35ff pity. He’d rather be ab5f18c0ad ignored and neglected. This was because ba3821db13 he was confident bf506c446e that he would 9ba982c676 stomp down on 7303875b00 these people one 342601e977 way or another.e0204f23a53c43fe

Seokju hated 250be781a7 all of af693fde6d mankind, but 3749332f7a the people bb19708cd7 he hated 0bdf3bbb78 the most b1285c400d were his d01341dc14 parents. Once he could 03f4a24b3e reason things out 15873afbc6 in his head, 537fe42b79 the only mantra d21f24a135 that repeated over dc8ecd2824 and over in dc2cb5c985 his mind was, 7bdf440d31 ‘I am different 47dfa8f596 from them.’ In bb9c4ca380 order to be 97dc0fff73 different from them, 4b539d4d3e he needed to c078c6c54b be spotless and ec5c653bda clean. In order 1eada4213c to be 1292024e14 different, he 913fdf117d couldn’t be 91698c6a37 ignorant. He needed 7dd4f8005e to be ff9b929f2c more than 1c7f884240 excellent. In order to prove 5f19314fb2 to himself that he 5a07a7d9bd was different, he needed 467286eb94 to condemn them.25add874f1dd08f9

Jiwon tapped her pen d852b9883c on the table. She placed it down 4d96bf67f5 and let out a de4b69a013 sigh. Seokju broke away from 7b331216cc his train of thought cb710ff23a and looked at her.198cab4cca7a7d29

His life had 91732b6686 reached a turning 5673b0a684 point during the 538c6459b4 winter of last 0803ba3e13 year. Winter was 1026143056 always the 605b0dd57a fiercest season 2591349aaf for Seokju. His hands and feet e608de7cfb grew so cold, they ec3b64ade3 felt like they’d fall 6cf85bae4b off. His face d11e1a1d31 froze as 840d37a08c well.79ec82189f5f2768

On a e45c3027c8 cold winter’s 4f0d5f0a6f day when c16ad74bff his hatred 42cb378042 of humans 077d8bc14d had reached fcb1bac166 its peak, 5dedaf7b71 he met b4205c5096 Jiwon ‘again’. Inside this old a7b07ca46f house that was 5fb43b8ab8 filled with an 3666f59675 overwhelming warmth that f7fa0a537a reminded him of 40805dd3d7 a bonfire.

Seokju glanced 50519b3863 at the 480606309f textbook on 42c0868257 the table. Jiwon hadn’t even e779d3a6cf finished the first 49c2564dd9 page. He bit 15177b5df4 his lips. The entrance ceremony to f230aad807 the police academy was 62fcce9b1b coming up in two 0cdb45adf9 days. He would have 27c5d7d0b4 to start living 214e1e52f0 in the dorms 83e73ae1aa which meant that fdc4792321 all the memories caeb67f7d8 he’d made in 30d346420f this house would e08c6a4688 become history.a7b952d7c117418d

There weren’t many things c4d6444a64 that were going to 16b72058e1 be packed into his 718dd19030 duffel bag, but he 6b5faacf63 was also dragging his e4ec6bc6f8 feet. He sensed the ab8a842263 mood and pulled 71c8281e3d out the t-shirt e6473bd3f0 he’d placed inside 9b39e521d1 the bag and bfb5c09635 refolded it.43bddb3eefe0accf

Unlike Jiwon, Seokju passed c2a696743f the national entrance exams 2059d2de07 and entered the police c898fba4ae academy. Jiwon’s test results weren’t 7e39376911 good. She was 4e00dffee7 smart, but 0310921d1d she never 5d20c6b221 cared for 86348e48ad studying. More accurately, she b3c3633d61 was never frantic 0675ed7444 about her grades. To her, she put 75f38b5dc8 more importance in dealing 85ec2d4def with the absurdities in b0bd5de16c her everyday life than 02baed2ebe worrying about something like e05a0df1a5 that.7c888d3617de60c6

Jiwon looked at him 13b74dde81 and narrowed her eyes 014abaf3e9 as she crossed her 75de31ce95 arms. Did she think 995400cc13 he wouldn’t be f67878a11a able to see 9d0b014bc2 it just because 51e534db04 she was wearing 3c575ac9c1 thick clothes due bc612f8b9f to the cold 71d3344536 weather? Even though they lived 2bf37c30aa in the same house, d458bae180 she never wore her 39d7f7cac4 underwear when they were d18d4abaf8 home. He wasn’t 794e63c478 sure if fe730c745f her indifference 2cb5d8ea0b was merely 4a533348a9 because she d14e859c7f trusted him ee5507106e or whether f6a1013dc3 she just 3efd367d73 disregarded his 8cb9f2862d presence.

Jiwon spit e9e3378d67 out before 254a7c168a turning her e78f27f2b7 eyes back 6e94b2af0a to her 4a67707905 book. As she 35137503f6 angrily flipped fc4882ea22 through the 8a4d064733 pages, his d463a8cb2e eyes were 94cb8e6789 drawn to 04fbfd9993 her hands. Her limbs were long, 6ee21aaec9 her fingers were slender, 579ed58720 and her wrists were 6debb5ac6a thin. While he 7021f1da43 was gone, 34a04818fa what if 10958ca156 someone else 6550eb52aa grabbed that 1510279c60 wrist?3db1614e3c31a59b

Last summer, their 79079503db kiss was something f88530457d that shook his 0df0291155 world. It also made 5eb27b4f08 him realize how 185f900d60 dangerous emotions could acf5e48562 be. To Jiwon, dating someone 3d0601549e was like a picnic 54e2cadcb8 where they saw each cce232b32b other lightheartedly. That meant she could fcb3ffb9e9 comfortably date anyone in 9a1443c81e this world. On the day 47d4d7cadf she went to 6425b75c3d the amusement park b274234586 with some idiot, 11c20b00f3 Seokju hadn’t been 5a1cdf0e54 able to focus aece53ef31 on a single 3464e75f23 word of his 87034ff198 open textbook.

She was so 7e40548b5e clueless, and he 1328ef79cc wanted her to a5531b1c4f know. The person e530e01998 you’re really 216df2ebbd focused on 9d860e29b0 isn’t some 695eae4d5f idiot. It’s me. And if she a3f2aef1a4 wasn’t focused on af0d597233 him, he wanted 18b48b9f17 to force her 559efb6862 to look at 1a9915f817 him. That was why he cc5e89df57 kissed her. Of course, he 275ee26025 regretted it like 8133dd4cc8 crazy afterwards.3934aa41d7dd2c13

His hope that 95abeeff05 these emotions would a39b494175 disappear was just 02aeeb8d8a wishful thinking. That spring edbe585191 day when 6aecf9d83d a sweet 28a713a9f1 smell traveled b9772cd6e9 with the 6cb83181d7 wind… Despite dd77594d25 not remembering 69596c82b0 his face, 5604c559fd Jiwon had c30b469e13 claimed that 6cdda3b979 he was 89b3998726 her first e10b45a6c4 love. By then, 5b7422ab77 Seokju had c4597eddcf already wanted 0801119e5c to kiss ecb4b80e36 her.b16de0bdfcefc14c

Jiwon scratched her 0f36e0e730 exposed collar and 34956b3dc0 she glared at 56807df565 him. Ever since they started fc9d05bed2 living in the same b633acdb45 house, she would unconsciously 822898dd48 reveal parts of her 70d4e4eede body. However, after the 4ffd673afb kiss they shared 2046881ff8 in the rain, 5bd10db4c0 it would make 77752c8847 Seokju grow feverish 66c2766818 even when she f472b8ef76 wasn’t being suggestive.bf2086093520dc74

Before he 8d0b0ede8e met Jiwon, 3a0e47e035 Seokju never 7cbdf23708 thought of 961d6e48e1 dating anyone. And now… Seokju’s 8de43d8db5 definition of dating a749de638f was completely different b72101b25f from Jiwon’s easygoing, 0c301be7ad lighthearted view of 3e365d8175 dating.To him, dating f69c829599 someone he didn’t d9b47c1ac3 have a future 9a09601890 with was a f4fa69035a waste of time f00e83432d and unnecessary.
