Ki-joon lifted his palm and stroked the nape of Yeonsoo’s neck. At the soft caress, Yeonsoo’s body trembled, and he rubbed his cheek against Ki-joon’s chest.

It was the day b02a905014 of a major external 81c08ce3db conference on marine life.

Yeonsoo, who had been sitting in the front row, had fainted momentarily. When he came to open his eyes, the hall was empty except for Ki-joon beside him. He had been the closest to the explosion, bleeding from his head and collapsed. However, what caught Yeonsoo’s eye first wasn’t his injury.658d454e4da8e1f5

Yeonsoo stayed with Ki-joon until the anti-terrorism unit and medical team arrived. He had impulsively taken off his cardigan and covered Ki-joon’s leg. It was a meaningless, spur-of-the-moment action. That was it. It really ended there, and he never spoke to anyone about the prosthetic leg. Yet, from that day on, Ki-joon’s pathological bullying began.6d9d191d42c2d534

Yeonsoo believed that Ki-joon’s hatred for the weak and unattractive stemmed from self-hatred. Everyone has weak and unattractive parts. No one is without such aspects. Those very weaknesses are what make humans truly human, and paradoxically, beautiful. Sometimes, Yeonsoo was sickened by Ki-joon’s ignorance of this simple fact, and other times, he felt pity for him.ff8422785fbf0f4f

When Yeonsoo bit into Ki-joon’s tongue and tasted his blood, he momentarily lost his mind. He had clung to Ki-joon’s neck, rubbing his legs and moaning.
