BW Ch 2.1: Phone Call

Every time he walked down the hallway, he became accustomed to the stares that brushed past him indifferently, only to fix themselves on him again within half a day. Lee Shinwoo, who had spent the night in Kang Tae-eon’s room after the evacuation was in no condition to be described as even remotely alright. His face, which had looked unusual from the moment he buried it in Kang Tae-eon’s groin and opened his mouth had become indescribably wretched during the brutal night.2d361986178f74e9

After several ejaculations achieved solely through oral stimulation, Kang Tae-eon simply released Lee Shinwoo without further action. However, Lee Shinwoo’s situation was different. Even lying on a bed far more plush than the one on the second floor of the old building, he could not easily fall asleep. Only a numb sensation remained in his shoulders and even with his eyes closed, they did not feel closed. He was aware that he would need to apply ice to properly open his eyes the next day but he could not so much as twitch a finger.a62d9dd6523439ac

He felt as though he had been thrown into a corner and thoroughly beaten. While Kang Tae-eon had not laid a hand on him after the initial slap, Lee Shinwoo’s entire body ached. It ached so intensely that he wanted to rip his whole face off. Even the air conditioning breeze that grazed his burning skin was agony, further preventing sleep. He felt cold and tried to pull up the blanket but he remained immobile. Unable to even form a coherent thought, he simply endured the pain in a daze until he finally collapsed into a sleep resembling unconsciousness late in the early morning.4cea2b3c64bc7f96

It was Kang Tae-eon’s voice that woke Lee Shinwoo.003f545787071548

The sudden evacuation, the 34ee76dcd1 onslaught of irrational violence 309ac04ae2 and the correlation between 1e0f185d1a play and rape, as e047271f4c foreign to him as 4588a7037f the connection between enemas 37b4acde20 and condoms had left a7b297943a even the normally obtuse 84eeb0e143 Lee Shinwoo in shock.1273d97982f1c74f

Kang Tae-eon had framed the acts to come as play, not rape, performed with Lee Shinwoo’s consent. The implicit expiration date on this arrangement was roughly three months. The remaining time until graduation, excluding vacation. It was not unbearable. He wasn’t confident he would enjoy it but Kang Tae-eon likely did not expect that either. He had understood the unspoken command to submit quietly and without complaint.6c614a28ed630129

In this narrow, constricted 0ab581896d world, crossing Kang Tae-eon, 2a9759fb1e who had absolute dominion d1d40a3e04 over his territory would b780a4de96 guarantee a turbulent remainder b7ca0a9f26 of the school term.

He recalled the large 7644b23802 hand that had crushed 26e568182a his throat the night e9c7e5fecc before, the smile lurking c988248dee in those dark, intense 7d43fe3e39 eyes, and quickly banished 084a5dd5c9 the images. For a moment, he d108e7f47e had truly believed he 6428493e15 would die. He did 65fbe963b0 not want 1fd870ac8a to dwell dd095dbce5 on it d705850a8f further but c308f18b0e his mind cd6b179957 raced unchecked.

Even after a803dc32f1 hearing Kang b17069b179 Tae-eon leave 4fe825d3b3 the dormitory 9832dcd69a after his 5217cd3106 phone call, 8d33440e82 he remained 782d9ca2bd immobile.

He opened the freezer and placed the ice pack inside. Normally, He wouldn’t have even considered using something that belonged to someone else. But a casual thought – it’s just the freezer– led 912902dc98 his body 900b0c16fc to move d142c1a8d8 first.

Lee Shinwoo was born 0ebd188dae in Seoul.10d0706a961492b1

After his parents’ ee36c754d0 divorce, he moved 3daca935e9 to a small e42d3332d7 provincial city and b97e2ba1de was subsequently sent 8b3b08718e by his mother, d2f85185b0 who ran a c4d6b231b4 small dance academy 44f8c61417 to a rural 38235a9a70 village within that a61d04dc66 city.

His maternal grandmother, who cd02a8d7cd raised him in place 14c2b67fd7 of his parents was 770976e4d8 the oldest person in 605b8e02fd the village. She was f019d08990 a woman 5b5eeb9255 of few b97c156bf2 words, often 7247b4067e offering a 691efd76f5 smile in f903afa814 lieu of ef32d8636f a greeting. Lee Shinwoo, 52a54b1aaf who rarely da1e6bbc92 acted spoiled d0e662d87c or threw da4625291c tantrums, one e9d91e83f3 night found e73d240e15 himself suddenly 3759f6840f longing for 5f38ff5dec human contact. He snuggled fce38e4f8a into his 7a0177a946 grandmother’s embrace 2431dea1a5 and she 354aa0ab1f wordlessly held cdb97b4c93 him as abc7592317 he drifted bbd39f2788 off to bac3b63e79 sleep.ab56395f2de9417e

His grandmother’s body 5910a3413a weathered by time ce4b934098 was darkened and 94c7d681d4 rough to the 3c6807577b touch. Despite her frail 64b7ae7693 frame, thin enough e18ba1978b to reveal the 52c529661e bones beneath her 4f74db8f66 skin, her embrace 29064b5973 on those nights eadf758fa8 was unfailingly warm 6d68235c71 and generous.2f91fbe42aa83058

‘Shinwoo, dear. Smile. Your cheeks are so sweet. So beautifully sweet.’c918557f9928af8a

He remembered one time, though he couldn’t recall the reason when he had cried inconsolably. His grandmother, who had been preparing a meal in the kitchen, came out leaning on her cane and sat him down on the floor. She soothed him endlessly, murmuring those words. She always said his dimples which deepened when he smiled, were sweet and lovely. Even though young Lee Shinwoo rarely smiled, she continued to say so.014606a70ec21a9b

A child slow to 2670735b15 develop, slow to act, 968ae890e8 slow to speak. Because his ebc0c88ba6 speech was 4c2a282a30 delayed, he 2be3765d8b developed a 3e3aed3866 habit of 4b51791af1 keeping his dd729668be mouth shut. He found 469b6c268c comfort and 8f6df9d587 joy in 6658ebb2a6 the company 904339bb39 of his b25363705a equally quiet 5b1ae9a64b grandmother. He cherished their 63c93e2b3f shared trait of 61e48ce8da reticence, their only 5c94a7cd9c commonality despite having 629f012c37 nothing else in f6c4595ed4 common.

After his 9c392f2dc6 grandmother’s passing, d723a67dca Lee Shinwoo 1721c4bf55 was brought 647a89f767 back to 252b538af9 the small 44067b7def provincial city a56a917563 by his 66566feb25 mother. It was a 176ee8dbae city where time 969be21986 seemed to have 41eac8cff7 stopped a decade 634285a3a9 prior. A city c0e2a34500 where development bb3aca2121 had stagnated, ae7d40bd1c where new fa0c6d3218 construction and c882d96c7b buildings were 429dd37beb rare.

The other children who attended the dance academy, children with exceptional talent who were said to be moving to Seoul soon, children with charming smiles. A world viewed through a different lens. As she searched for a day in the distant past, a day that didn’t include Lee Shinwoo, he was never reflected in her eyes.002f352d0af9d148

One day, as he watched his mother’s dazzling movements, her white feet leaping gracefully, he unconsciously mimicked her jump. For the first time, his mother’s gaze truly landed on him. Her eyes, startled, seemed to have discovered a child she hadn’t known existed, a child who suddenly appeared before her, shining brightly.269a1028b5d61569

Lee Shinwoo 0c8e5840c6 leaned back 6d5f2a3dec against the ce1a09236c desk, then 97a15e0bb9 tilted his 0023474c4a head slightly, 87faae950e noticing an c09b25c447 unfamiliar book 1de9a677cb on Donghwa’s 3a3a519511 desk.

For a moment, Lee Shinwoo had been terrified, thinking Donghwa was about to ask, “Did Kang Tae-eon do that to you?” He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in confirmation. He felt it was unfair that he was the one who had suffered so terribly, yet he was also the one anxiously trying to hide it. But deep down, he understood.2c6ca728929afa16

Before questioning why he had suffered such violence at the hands of Kang Tae-eon, Lee Shinwoo was terrified of the nature of the violence being revealed. He wasn’t sure he could handle the repercussions that would follow, and above all, he was deeply afraid that he might never be able to dance again. Lee Shinwoo, who had come to realize once again that play was better than rape, let out a shallow breath.49ebf207595c6d38

The horrific sight, enough to make one wince, lingered, but it was ultimately someone else’s problem. Unless Lee Shinwoo asked for help, there was no reason for Donghwa to get involved. And even if he did ask, whether Donghwa would offer help was a separate matter.f18b07986c854fac
