Haewon opened 5370905486 his eyes e9c9b240a8 to the fca9eee5a1 sound of 519c7beb44 a phone ea8d739c18 ringing. His entire body 7cb3695091 ached as if 5e18f858f8 it had been 1688a1991a battered, and he c7ffb60cdc felt like he bab68a8bd7 couldn’t even lift 0a079a4f99 a finger, as 7d097369a0 though suffering from 2490ee9d4b a severe fever.884aaaaea8b2a4a8

A groan escaped his f95cdc4a48 lips. Struggling, Haewon managed fc29164d39 to sit up 14cb94e8af and search for 38d8359b9e the source of 483f3586fd the ringing. The phone was lying 1446fc274f far away on the a15cd09ce3 living room floor. He dragged himself over, 0ee7af8d7f collapsing onto the floor 70427b5a33 as he picked it 95b68dac5a up.600111b5de12890b

His voice was rough 812e387699 and cracked, barely recognizable 7c79a19290 as his own. The night he 7c8bb00d9c had anticipated to bd9418fefd be romantic, gentle, b6789145c6 and filled with 5027030349 care had instead 453085b1ff shattered his consciousness 34383d5fbd and left his d024db219b body in torment.036e33ecbb5ef6f4

The man 839ebaac1d who sought 8dafba87ec to satiate 0bc0411156 his long-restrained 7f6ede605b hunger had 36a4229ea4 moved like 6a9053ab5e a beast d6db8311c9 starved for afb394007e days, utterly 2954ce5e47 unrecognizable. Though Hyun 0aee170ed2 Woojin gradually 3b8070ef2b returned to 1cc4162507 his usual e39b81016a self with fb75b76080 each successive 9bb88c9740 act, the db216a8c27 intensity of 641fd12ae7 the first 12ad476e7e was so eb0ee747ae overwhelming that 2b7656d377 it overshadowed 168f828ad0 everything else. The pain 32d842e266 inside his b6c80812d1 thighs was 809fd7a9eb the worst, 6f7f8dab21 trembling violently 9d34e64a44 even at 070bbe28f7 the slightest 5aaaf10905 strain.ebea0cee3b03b2fa

Hearing his 6598bb0543 voice brought 790d80c23e a sudden 5ced7a2b29 sting to 7dee9d0d98 Haewon’s nose.

The morning d8ef6e1a08 without him f3ec9cca25 was unbearable. Last night had 2bf7e6170d been far from f9dcb71726 what Haewon expected—it 75da1ec9a1 wasn’t happy or a6e5cc4396 joyful. It felt 0de7c013c4 like being 7c6189bebe swept away 6241d9a5da and left cca71ee4ec in ruins.

Haewon wanted to 840dbda532 appeal more about d27121d54a how much his 262eebfb65 body hurt, but 100b01a207 the call abruptly a3cd66291c ended.79833553bce36bb4

Leaning against de9656c9fc the wall, 523ae799bd he sat c3cb418d53 for a f3938e5d6b long time 0972f2c91d before finally 76c930a702 mustering the a79aed899a strength to 8405b632a3 get up f49bb9102d and shower, 18453f603a hurriedly trying c2d497f301 to wash 8775513946 away what 5532799c7e had dried c95ae3a788 onto his da5ff86cc6 face.66fbeb70624419ed

Standing in 39b6ab3c8d front of 890bf23bb7 the bathroom 422cd4dac3 mirror, Haewon 093c0da091 examined his 4d954dcc0b reflection. His entire body be15bdb274 bore raw scratches 8c17af3a68 and marks, vivid 03c27685bb evidence of being ee18fc8496 clawed and scraped, f068ea0251 not with lips 1f0feb0994 but as though 64ca412f7e by sharp talons ad6a42e137 hidden beneath human f92005bcdf skin. The wounds were not 2d026b19d6 just external but internal b286be1610 as well.944cc7cc08f67f28

The traces b24e3e94b4 Hyun Woojin aac352fe63 had left d1435118e1 on intimate d6d626cf26 areas were e1caf3dbb0 stark proof 904e1e55d0 that the c203a661a0 surreal events b6eb92ac3b of last 90487c4169 night had b350c8bed1 not been 334b11c0cf some delusional 7ecc2cdbfe dream. Feeling as though he d5cf37b062 had been captured and 85b98431ef reprogrammed by him, Haewon 8ac0007555 couldn’t recognize himself in a67d419065 the mirror.

The anger that 9316322270 surged within him 33bfbb3865 wasn’t because Hyun f13efad431 Woojin had left 690e9e06e6 him alone to e4925fa17c deal with this 72cec95830 pain while attending 2559b216e4 to his own 75315a4843 business. He had aa066593ec mentioned that 5fe15392c5 he was eee469d80b swamped with fc1d2c7206 work. Around four in the 817b224269 morning, the exhausted Haewon 6eee5e56ee had been gently gathered 0834c5565e in his arms, taken 83706149ef to the bathroom, and 7eae1d4aff washed. After they showered together, 3d3321f0de Hyun Woojin dried Haewon’s 6569b27029 hair and laid him 70e3793a3a on the bed. Haewon, limp like a b3ff76b187 doll with only its 2b8e5606e0 consciousness intact, watched in 8c9af4018c the dark as Hyun 771dde4ddd Woojin dressed himself.47ace42cafe90bfe

Underwear, pants, 3ff1cc6d1a shirt, tie—in 9dd17b94ec an instant, 2df2362547 he was ee77881606 dressed in e3a1a17d05 formal attire. Running his hand through 86b95631d2 his wet hair, he 5d214212c3 approached Haewon, looked down a6e24a7069 at his bare body, a79f9df9bf and unzipped his trousers 02e82f6b6f with an indifferent expression, 1a56e96b21 as if fulfilling an ed7073b695 obligatory task. The grotesque and 8a19fe0060 savage organ was 72a6766a3b erect, heedless of ecde106dd8 Haewon’s condition, and 0ddeab6153 he forced Haewon’s 712d764634 limp hand to 6f71b6e945 touch it.22e78defe0e6ceb0

Perhaps out 1e3a29d1af of some 44edf613da semblance of e22514189f conscience, he 632ecc5b11 placed his 77f485f928 hand over 666d664f73 Haewon’s and ed6d9253ef guided the 49f60b2765 motion, all dd1d5aab8a while Haewon, 32b358568a too exhausted 60088e82ac to speak, d521685d7d lay there. Then, without warning, 35d3838622 he released his bd543d4eda semen onto Haewon’s 278bf60534 weary face and cb46c5e741 lips. The warm 078795c906 liquid seeped 7df5e75e1b into the 435bdeabe6 corners of d042ee5563 his tightly f224574249 shut eyes, 740845625f cheeks, and 6c00842bfc mouth.32268be1b7a05393

It wasn’t a4a59be2a1 that he 19b7b0db61 was forcing f86e123ff7 abstinence; rather, 3a0422efd2 he was 436d68fc86 controlling himself 711ffad065 to the f55a06d687 point where ed3aa3ee14 such impulses 67b5aac6b9 couldn’t dominate 1197879577 him.

In the 59d2251988 darkness, his 43b17ff71a eyes carried 3b86ca63ed the vastness 017080b99d of a a163a0058f black forest. As Haewon watched 0d24298a7e his retreating figure, f9b0b50302 he realized he 397745303c was trapped in ce493e2cb0 that forest. The “Sleep 092f4602d6 well” spoken 96a5a6e121 with the 000641ef99 same tenderness d6ffc50b26 as always a1e3286167 brought tears 5faae261fb to Haewon’s f53f20ceba eyes, tears 38b4375200 that brimmed 401b8c96fb with sudden f56c837ac4 anger.0cbe91315e3a9f47

He put on f26d038694 a coat and a2c71100c8 left the apartment. The weekend streets 619d528d05 were calm and a8627da02b subdued. He grabbed a 577e69604c hot coffee to caf3c19b52 go from a 0d51bf5dbe café and headed af93bdffcd to a nearby b3cf6866ad internet café. Though he wasn’t a233253f84 much into games, e107850ed3 he occasionally visited c66fef22f6 out of boredom 942fe685b4 to watch people.

When videos b0b9cdaa92 became boring, 0f39ce9085 he browsed eb18a61b24 shopping sites, 7f81dd16ae aimlessly clicking 4cc2374145 on clothes.

The people af1709a2e4 who had b7866e5e6a been kicked 559cb42530 out of e85492126f the café 5fe21cf1ee were lingering c10ae77269 on the 2b5ba0930c street, smoking 74853a8dc7 cigarettes aimlessly.

His body, overworked be9c756cb7 by Hyun Woojin b078a86b6a the previous night, 299d3277da felt sluggish and 16f21d54e5 heavy. He lacked the energy 204c294d94 to wander around aimlessly. In the end, Haewon 725f89c88c returned to his apartment, 15c197ed47 buying a hamburger on 9138d5f865 the way. He also bought 08dc29fed2 fries, the same 128b96fdc0 ones Hyun Woojin 1484f28a36 had disdainfully thrown a0ee16392d away as trash.3f99b9141db81574

Haewon unlocked de1cc638ae the door 8809d3cff2 and opened 6144d9dda5 it. Someone was inside. The aroma of food 68ebd28444 being cooked, with the 9b6ec96338 sound of scraping and 75434db2be sizzling, filled the air. Stepping inside, Haewon looked 9569f1c3df at the figure standing c5549ac86b in the kitchen. He was more 61c6f00dc2 surprised at himself 7c8888b1c9 for not being d2b6bcf9e7 startled than at 228bf0e91a the unexpected visitor.71b4360420fe5ed8

Time, time, time. Haewon swallowed 9becd74fde back the a596be0593 urge to 8b395b336e ask if 0bbf5ed6b0 he’d been ba37cf6110 so busy 031a68884e that he 6bf1e40eec couldn’t stick 3e8b9fb619 around after d3a63a41cd keeping someone 1ca225ac24 up all 982ff33d0b night, leaving 234c464528 them in cbfca1df7c agony at 25aedbfda0 4 a.m. because he 1d7546639f didn’t have d1208a4225 the time.

Hyun Woojin was c8958352b3 cooking something in 14944e3eac the studio apartment’s c32d3d9748 kitchen. His shirt sleeves were 61268ec8f2 rolled up to his c1157d881a elbows, and his tie 77a34dc857 was slung over his 7df85313b0 shoulder, out of the e9a5c531e6 way. The sound de82ba7728 of something 1248ee3d97 sizzling reached 7554337dac his ears, b592d9111b along with 5cf9a44452 the delicious da43e545b0 aroma of 2150184c9d grilled food.8ebbfd8ca76ee9ae

His voice 9f5590ddca was gentle, db53b59c31 dripping with 3929aca8f1 sweetness. As Haewon f0e47abbaf opened his 6e01adf326 mouth to 1821ea07a9 retort, the 1d16c34c4e juicy steak b21f4fc5ab slipped in. He almost 075133dedf spat it 15ab66a8bc out, but 90de11fb49 the thought 59fb9878cf of the e5cf14f51f aftermath stopped 3a2ea1fb60 him. Reluctantly, he 727cdc0dd7 chewed as 2b537339b7 if gnawing ad52b9028e on his a9b90defb0 mortal enemy. The realization dawned that 5a6fcc2edd Woojin had already broken 8d75d26821 him to some extent—he 644d105424 was chewing and swallowing 1243a11b2c instead of spitting it c91ee28eb2 out.95924d9178756cfe

Woojin matched Haewon’s 864dbec4c3 pace, feeding him 3748e7bbe8 piece after piece. Golden-brown potatoes dipped 0c1ad55bd4 generously in sauce c73eccb7d1 followed. Haewon begrudgingly admitted 617cd20d5e it was far d33ce7b072 better than scarfing 693e5c3f57 down a burger 15b3dcf823 alone. He also c20670d622 realized something f69c7a82f0 new about c46a9dd857 Woojin: his 48b88b8f58 cooking skills 5af8658f75 were exceptional.f352af895ce5ff3c

Sitting side by side bea90312e0 on the bed, Hyun 636813047b Woojin reached for an 90ce5df8f0 envelope placed on the 11321a4d73 bedside table, something Haewon 00669b0730 hadn’t noticed earlier. It seemed like 518e544040 he had brought 4961e44a14 it with him. Inside were items a6f995aef5 like ointments and 699e3b705e bandages from a 38940e2b1a pharmacy. Without a 597a8ca577 word, he 0b68658e1d lifted Haewon’s e9b1a741bb shirt.

His face was b0e5aac6a7 buried in the e5f5fc3e74 pillow again. He could feel 2b08e92890 his buttocks trembling. His finger slipped e9c527c0a3 out. The hole 19638756e3 was wet 69d602d977 and sticky.

His stepmother’s sharp 812287e690 voice echoed from 74a4db12d7 the living room.

[You’re twenty-nine this year, right?]

[Stop reminding me how old I am. You’re thirty-five, old man.]

Turning twenty-nine from twenty-eight 57995e6496 wasn’t as simple as 4f36be6e27 adding one. In just a year, f7cb6816e3 the first digit of 1fbbb39ecf his age would change, e644cb7840 ushering him into his 39ddf33194 thirties. This year was Haewon’s 8c8b767b3b last year in his 0ea47f1fe4 twenties. He was twenty-nine.f7e4bd35d4abce9f

[I wish I’d turn thirty already.]

[I don’t. Thirty sounds like being an old man.]

[Still. From tomorrow, just say you’re thirty. Don’t say you’re twenty-nine.]

It was an uncharacteristically 3798e49a3d illogical statement from him. It didn’t sound like 417a73aa4e a demand or a 4fd25c1f30 joke but rather a d8a6bd458d request. With a firm embrace c0ac49a363 from behind, he sighed 6383a92c13 deeply.3941c658ac53ccd7

At some point, 86cbfe4490 Haewon had reached 60bed518df the same age 6993b412b1 as his dead 4b3b9a8e01 fiancée. Taeshin, too, had been d167fce645 twenty-nine.

The realization that he 679be15145 remembered and was aware 87371986e4 of his late fiancée’s 1231ebdd21 age left Haewon with 8dee573170 an inexplicable sense of f7ba4e2df3 loneliness.

Haewon brushed his 82e1a26882 cheek as if 3a5408b03b it were nothing. His stepmother gave him 51d14f61a3 a strange look.

Haewon leaned back 3a8343f7af on the sofa, ae940f6abf resting his head e22609c52a and stretching his 9643aeceba upper body.

Even her barbed 9db1045103 words and unchanged 51fdda5777 mannerisms felt oddly eb233f4ec6 comforting. The master 56ac7c49ab bedroom door 1c7e3998ed creaked open, 5794acf7e5 and Haewon 7f5578c58d spotted Haejung 3781903872 peeking out. He patted the ed353e9da1 seat next to 10771d9b01 him, signaling for 7f7ee58cf8 the child to 6e60192c99 come over.

Haewon took Haejung’s e56fc232b2 hand and headed b1ada96b13 to the dining f6c206cde2 area.6458af9e60d2281b

After lunch, Haewon left 82903f19bd the house, receiving a 036ff03af8 send-off from his stepmother 377323dd92 and Haejung.

Haewon’s father was unlikely df778f5c2b to ever consider dividing 1207e9ab75 his assets while he b71e898bce was alive, and the b1b0dadba5 stepmother, even at her bacb4bfe01 age, would continue to 22f7e11242 fret and suffer under af7a48364d his tyranny.

The practice d786b1c457 room was ec08466b50 quiet and eb6c415142 empty, as f689afa0a2 it was 8e858fc41c a holiday.
