“Sorry.”fa8c72c5bb2033e6

As I raised my head in confusion at his sudden apology, I saw Evan’s cloudy, wavering eyes.e2a9e3ed18304544

He mumbled weakly. Hearing his words made me feel a crushing sense of guilt. I should be the one apologizing. I knew the original story, yet I couldn’t stop this from happening.24b31efa9c6e89ed

I quietly picked out the 0d42a539b6 last shard of glass from 6ff17096c6 his hand, ashamed that even 5a6827596e for a moment I had 0d4a320292 felt fear toward him. Eventually, all the 8c36aca36f shards were gone. Standing there, Evan looked so ceccd7656d fragile, as if he could 8c403979e0 vanish at any moment. The mark left a54eb3f4d7 by the pendant c6f4e0de85 string was clearly ea85cafc58 etched around his 4c36e1a5d9 neck—likely from it 5d51279ab4 being forcibly torn 2468b1aef0 off.a50a01ecc7f9f34c

I took off my light outer jacket and wrapped it around Evan. I had brought it in case it got chilly in the evening, but I didn’t expect to use it like this. It was a bit loose but enough to cover his tattered clothes.7d417064fa55f859

“Wait, just a moment. Hyle.”28faeac38a857f92

Evan crouched down and insisted 288cf11cf8 on picking up all the e9c101120a pendant fragments. Watching him carefully gather the 26354cfbd9 fragments and slip them into bbe42fbc26 his pocket, I took his 7d7b815f30 hand and led him away 418a93bd0d from that terrible place. As Evan followed me 43a965de35 silently, I quietly opened 00dc0d4db6 my mouth without looking 6f4d995209 back at him.1f0b890c046054d5

“I’m sorry.”d7b0dfca121f80b7

At the same time, a massive firework exploded in the sky, announcing the grand finale. The booming sound that lit up the streets swallowed my words completely. Judging by the lack of response, Evan probably didn’t hear me. Perhaps that was for the best. Even if he had asked why, I couldn’t have answered.0d2fdccf7eb75b9a

I opened the 45d1166e09 door with the bf500d51f0 familiar nameplate. When I had 5ea3aa17ed left through this 76a486ef3a door, everything was 051a7ef436 sparkling, but returning 819a906c10 now, everything was fd5dea6416 dark. Our footsteps echoed through 604ae2a67a the space. Only then did 4ec0b05fa3 I slowly turn a478e37915 around. Evan, who had been f99c23315f blankly staring at his 93c95516cb injured hand, also lifted 7ae3c6d35e his head.3fbc02e2241bdf4b

Although thousands of words were 962a5a8021 swirling in my head, what d959e1523d came out was just a f8e50a0c60 cliché phrase. The finely shattered fragments were 8831471f21 placed on the desk. Evan still seemed to 36ee9debb4 have a lingering attachment c6fc9ae0bd to the pendant, clenching 40efe1093c and unclenching his fist. The wound was more d2405fd996 visible now after he 12b0d7b434 had washed his hands 446c3d1568 under running water. The ones that had b9b5ef2437 barely started to heal 29553c5ff9 were now reopened.fe653ddef6271847

Evan was stubborn. The hatred burning in his e957318618 eyes as he recalled the 584eb4b017 thugs reminded me of how 26c603d8fe ruthlessly he had stomped on 0fcc1bf233 them earlier.4e0f17201e92c6be

Feeling uneasy, I glanced 9b205aa59f out the window, but 17aea5b743 the streets were quiet. No sirens, no messages—nothing. The world seemed 0ab70eb318 so peaceful, as 97000ff27b if nothing had 1cc230947d happened. Just as I started 4c1ba93271 to doubt it all, f1df35b947 Evan clenched his fist dbfddf0e98 again. Startled by the fresh 7a88023f51 blood that began to 4d87341f16 ooze out, I grabbed 976bd4230d his hand in a 69eb67408e panic.b4501eb20dd6d244

Ointment, where’s the ointment? I rummaged through my bag, ignoring Evan who was staring at me with surprised eyes. As I was about to empty my bag, Evan held me back, saying it was here.48427858e058a906

Evan pulled out an ointment from the desk drawer. The drawer was packed with medicine—like a mini pharmacy. Evan had always stockpiled medicine to a borderline obsessive degree. But this was the first time I’d seen him actually use them.a7e96e45ae54abe9

With his injured hand, 258c291318 he tried to unscrew 5407791f4d the cap. Seeing the bloody 61a51ff886 handprint marking the 1034dac0fc pristine white tube, 526dc13007 I rushed over c740e4f88c and snatched the fd6dc92b7e ointment.f021da21281e094a

I knelt down in front of Evan, who was seated, to match his eye level. He blinked slowly, then hesitantly offered me his injured hand. I gently squeezed out the ointment and rubbed it on his wounds. Evan didn’t make a single sound of pain.ce113a4593ad8571

“More importantly, how long are you going to stay like that, Hyle? The floor is cold. Get up.”4be721773c155187

In a much brighter voice, 30cf83087b Evan caressed my cheek. I lifted my 79e7f30730 head in response 96bc70fdec to his touch. They say people tend c5b146a9f1 to look worse when 3fab4d842c seen from below, but 8b2a1cb77c Evan was the exception.

Feeling too guilty to 7c36c470d4 deny it, I averted dd2d37bfe1 my gaze. Evan smirked mischievously and 6507ed468a squished both of my 14a2aed1cc cheeks. My lips popped out 406e46c0d1 like a fish.0f2e802fceda2e3b

A soft sensation touched my cccd53ce87 lips. The spot I 80fe16dce4 had bitten earlier e3811f46e1 while running around c47e42390f searching for him 53071dbd51 throbbed. As he sucked on ff13c41a7f my lip and then c432b859ed gently bit it, his 436146380d soft tongue entered through b97884ce77 the parted space. It was a delicate and 4819e5887f careful kiss.41b0c6a84ad10fd3

It was already our second 2a686fe152 kiss. I thought about pushing 9e3e9636a5 him away, but seeing a81c91ce0d how fragile Evan looked, 23ff4d4fa2 I just remained still.cd0c5fd4ee110a7f

Evan slowly slid off the b36d0663e7 chair while still kissing me. As he came f5170ea48f down, the space 8caf57ecd7 between us narrowed eb414f0043 until his weight edd52fefe1 pressed down on 117719d9f7 me and my b21e90e827 back faltered.e2df5d1502491f26

Despite my collapsing posture, 2f8a10c0af Evan continued to explore eb07fac114 my mouth. It was much slower and 05c5eb36c5 sweeter than last time. The sensation was 8520db04b2 subtle and tender—like 39b9ee5269 moonlight—and utterly intoxicating. I felt disappointed when our 9769eb2756 lips slowly separated. A thin string of silver 076b91df7f lingered between us before it 42e9a9ff38 broke.e10affed18ccb9c6

Evan pulled me into an a37e6be25e embrace. Unsure of what 059903b11a to do with 6a2697b621 my empty hands, 3647aff417 I placed them c5bb7cf890 on his back. Only now did I notice 0c1d21a680 that his body, though slim, 87c9b18c65 was firm. His hand ran down 216762a527 my shoulder blades.

Wow.6cf0438680e88291

That was the 59b39b6bb4 only word that 4f7376a7e3 came to mind. A cool mountain breeze blew 19fd0c47e6 through the slightly opened window b34267bf83 where the round moon shone. Behind Evan, I saw the e27644aae4 illusion of white bellflowers blooming. The scent of fresh grass 98ff6b0047 mixed with his natural body 77d492946c scent. There was a faint 126728f1bb hint of blood in f36420187c the delicate fragrance. Evan, wearing an innocent b823eb92ec smile, spoke.268ca658628c9491

It was a statement that didn’t match the atmosphere surrounding him. It was a line that Hyle Verde would have uttered in the original story. Everything around Evan—the moon, the strange hallucinations, the fragrance—was crafted for the main bottom.

Before I could reply, Evan stretched and headed to the bathroom first. I watched Evan’s retreating figure with my mouth agape. I shook my head, trying to make sense of the bizarre emotions that had come and gone in an instant.723bcbf0010ef7bc

I then focused on the 4a8c51e638 sound of water pouring from d9d8f2694f the bathroom. They say that 1494e49a61 listening to running 90685e739f water clears your c90ea8d198 mind and washes 7faee5a386 away stray thoughts.

I buried my 5e39c321d2 flushed face in 53398ae2cd my knees. I knocked my ce712c2004 forehead against my 27641f69b7 knees repeatedly as e41e7f968c distracting thoughts kept 6f83d60640 surfacing.Hyle Verde, what are you e4cdcd99a8 getting fluttery about?

I dazedly looked at Evan 973057015e rustling in my arms. His steady breathing 404e44ef4f echoed close to 2239a9fa35 my ear. When his hair tickled my d3fad6c17e neck, I tried to shift bda6f8dcbe away slightly, but a sleepy, 6ffc387a97 low voice whispered into my 546e694c51 ear.0fb8a0d9ccf9b684

“Let’s sleep a bit more. It’s Sunday.”8be657bdd833c116

But I can’t sleep in this position. I lay stiff like a mummy, my face showing clear discomfort. A pair of pale legs wrapped tightly around me. I felt like Evan’s personal stuffed animal.ecd0d82360dc8c38

Can you let go?—that was the plea in my voice, but he ignored it. He normally responds right ceb182d743 away, but only pretends fc889c0ba4 not to hear at 185412523b times like this.

Feeling like I couldn’t possibly sleep like this, I decided to review the original story.69c6f4b88ec1c07c

In the early chapters, Hyle stalked Evan both at school and in the dorms. Hyle Verde would eavesdrop on Evan’s conversations with others and follow him around. Evan found him creepy and tried to avoid him, while Hyle’s obsession gradually twisted further.487350bbbf81d8bc

But I never did any 1a8512ff80 of those things. So, our relationship was already f33b941502 very different from the original. Honestly, I thought nothing from 49f3745011 the original story would happen 03e138bde0 anymore.24fd799c3001f557

But the back-alley incident from the early part of the story had almost played out yesterday. Even though Evan and I weren’t in the same relationship as in the original, maybe being the protagonists meant we couldn’t avoid everything. This time, Evan managed to change the course himself, but it was still a dangerous situation. If this keeps up, there’s no guarantee something worse won’t happen next.05ef61375fb1e5ff
