Back when he was 7389543999 too young to know 69b3dd9770 the meaning of the b3838b2753 word ‘survival’, Seokju came 951e2c3e13 to learn its definition 424f13f672 with his own body. Even when he cried cef8e25a8e until his throat was 5fb1c6f1c8 sore, the only thing 380b5bd755 that came his way 870b7ae757 was a slap to 828bc33dba the face. Most days, he never 6904cdf4ab knew if he’d be 60a0c2fc0b given the basic necessities b16686d898 of food and clothing.fe5be51d62b29bc3

Even when he fe8edadaa2 found out that f8c1b2c27d the existence of 91fde166e8 a ‘parent’ would 6a0d5be1ba never protect him, 826ce0af67 he didn’t care. This was because 5c0fb35c1a he never had 5aa9786818 anyone to compare 79082b5ef0 his life to. However, when he began 916420c541 to leave his house 4610699582 and meet other people, 7d268906c3 he was able to 2b9b91338f understand it with surprising bf1e268c5c clarity. Everything about his life e691349b72 was not normal.9238a3d85c0baa6f

He was a scruffy, d873009060 scrawny beggar boy. Eyes filled 364608ea60 with pity 0a176bf1f6 whenever they e8872d295b landed on 5dfcabec08 him. The gazes 7b1eaa59cf were unfamiliar, ed580d192e but they 3e3b703ec1 also felt 897f7a9922 warm. It filled him with ae901cfba6 a glimmer of hope 60b45c1637 that one of them dad347cc63 would help him escape 2123f4c1c7 the cage he was aba2b5f32b in. However, that cf33177d70 miracle never 71a529ab4e happened.986c7423c9f4e8af

For the most part, 00b979025a those who pitied and a8843284c9 sympathized with Seokju were 7250cb11ad poor. Those that did 6d07e1643c have the luxury d3ab06520a to help never 9472a3f709 strayed past the 5f84aa2e06 imaginary line they f547012e7e had drawn between 2ba452d287 him and them. Either way, both types aafe38b2cf of people wanted Seokju 2b9cf879dd to lower his head f903deab0b to them in gratitude 39dd813a99 if they helped him 48d334547a out.6a124203ddd3b7ee

When he was a 80bf5133ae young kid, he didn’t f86e90779e know about the ways 24c1e981ef of the world and 6d0465f3a5 therefore did not lower a0ae0a2494 his head. Once he grew 658bb7707e a bit older, 4107abfb4c he could feel 6167ed8197 their sense of 4d80873300 superiority over him 7f9f8722ae and did not 2392d398a8 want to. The thing bc55e3d47d Seokju hated e5aa882de5 most in 7db56c5dc9 this world 6355d82026 was cheap 6fabb39871 pity. He’d rather be ignored 6ac903b09b and neglected. This was de5f7d1fdc because he 80aec277b5 was confident f573d370b1 that he 02cf3bc275 would stomp cc7654faf6 down on 6141220273 these people 6bb969fc8a one way b0192f7ac0 or another.45782d64d2214099

Seokju hated all f17df6cd65 of mankind, but 493d52a9b4 the people he da8e3bb8f2 hated the most 31bc8d851b were his parents. Once he could 4d72c2b905 reason things out c5ce6cb573 in his head, e8fbdfe9c1 the only mantra c4998845bc that repeated over f2ed2722a0 and over in 368d3f843d his mind was, ffe5d21301 ‘I am different 4fc3446910 from them.’ In f3f5787dcf order to be 8b2d976f61 different from them, 5d3baff84e he needed to 26462faf7e be spotless and b93612e404 clean. In order to be 99ceeeb526 different, he couldn’t be 57bd0cea75 ignorant. He needed 8dff9b7c69 to be 220509bf5e more than dcd90b086f excellent. In order to eb4cbc80a1 prove to himself 9e2aa315d4 that he was b16038c4de different, he needed 0319eae071 to condemn them.18e7bc87b6b17a4f

Jiwon tapped her 6ebbb43446 pen on the d452c45661 table. She placed efffbf9196 it down 05a1a81429 and let 51afb5bc18 out a 61e7cf9988 sigh. Seokju broke c98b1fe20a away from 06e1d0682b his train b6ea50e31f of thought dbb0a9c5b7 and looked 8e08503c35 at her.82ec59ac912f6d94

His life had 2e915871a6 reached a turning f3e797e5c7 point during the c56ea04e09 winter of last ca1c23b603 year. Winter was 3b610d4893 always the cad4af2337 fiercest season 99b1f6cd82 for Seokju. His hands ebb10f701d and feet a4b04832f1 grew so a055e9ae76 cold, they 8636dd00a7 felt like 53418b2a3e they’d fall c66d8b48a8 off. His face froze 708b4969e4 as well.cf5216d75a6e85a4

On a cold dc6f3ba02c winter’s day when d58f400073 his hatred of 33a92663c1 humans had reached e9ccd257e4 its peak, he dc102dccc2 met Jiwon ‘again’. Inside this 99fd254c3a old house 5c04ed03f1 that was 9b00f25b12 filled with a5a3e99adb an overwhelming 2a7ac9dd67 warmth that c7f3b1606c reminded him f6e5637e0a of a bc0ec7c504 bonfire.

Seokju glanced at the bb0f98db3c textbook on the table. Jiwon hadn’t even 4bb8e2b8b1 finished the first 4f7f5ff93b page. He bit 69bfa407ee his lips. The entrance ceremony to c8c1c22437 the police academy was 616f691445 coming up in two b0a17f6101 days. He would have a563e46dba to start living c305e4958a in the dorms e4a935cbf4 which meant that db4590c2eb all the memories 85c80c3654 he’d made in 9a38994de6 this house would 00720b28fe become history.5f1f8c1816b1b34f

There weren’t many 5bd7592462 things that were 06c8709097 going to be 3a8d597bc4 packed into his b6d30e3ad6 duffel bag, but 2c48f48abb he was also 283f88a7ff dragging his feet.

Unlike Jiwon, 2c3e1a63c4 Seokju passed 6149bae4df the national 60efbdf751 entrance exams 33a6ba9180 and entered d312d4d45a the police cac15dc8fa academy. Jiwon’s test f566d5186b results weren’t b52479d114 good. She was smart, but 9dbee7a355 she never cared for d64dc13839 studying. More accurately, she was 1fcdaccfb4 never frantic about her a31dd30ee8 grades. To her, 977d967898 she put 1216e322c1 more importance fab1e84b43 in dealing 287029f2a5 with the bd4589c604 absurdities in 1e5e632841 her everyday 9331fa8861 life than 877d638f9f worrying about 67abb8399c something like 2c2ac2137a that.edc42b9605d0b686

Jiwon looked at 31a2055918 him and narrowed 77904b90d8 her eyes as b8834b5c34 she crossed her 3ba9f317ad arms. Did she 8b6e08e1ba think he 56da423098 wouldn’t be ac0bc64919 able to 966c77725c see it 770b131115 just because 4079e73842 she was 1fca5c89d0 wearing thick 3c2e21f746 clothes due b964c14b1d to the e75535c63b cold weather? Even though they 5d20c2abd0 lived in the 4be37317e3 same house, she ccb57c0863 never wore her f734e3dc40 underwear when they 01bbcde3a4 were home. He wasn’t sure if 514faae045 her indifference was merely d1d2017f4b because she trusted him 0baf8aa565 or whether she just b0b1a3f098 disregarded his presence.

Jiwon spit out before 0030f315f3 turning her eyes back 52273260ae to her book. As she angrily flipped f74f5290d2 through the pages, his a0e80d860b eyes were drawn to b37442ce23 her hands. Her limbs were long, ce74ba6ebf her fingers were slender, 49b32e1a96 and her wrists were 0a4ff81d5b thin. While he was cb159a5809 gone, what if fbc848eb97 someone else grabbed 06d58d7355 that wrist?d43263457280815d

Last summer, their 2c9deee459 kiss was something b2bde4f776 that shook his 2c17d3e064 world. It also 13270d4e86 made him 4523eb81df realize how 5eab1b730d dangerous emotions 0f6f55c50d could be. To Jiwon, dating someone 8bc133cc2f was like a picnic 87f151f1fe where they saw each 3b2d5871ff other lightheartedly. That meant she could 88cd75c2bb comfortably date anyone in 53fe63fe9c this world. On the day ca84a2c525 she went to b263d11ff8 the amusement park c45c94302f with some idiot, 6144f3574f Seokju hadn’t been c34167a045 able to focus 611d42c51b on a single 9522226ceb word of his c928b601e2 open textbook.

She was so clueless, 2e4ecf7fe8 and he wanted her 1963c451db to know. The person 774afb58c4 you’re really 0112105bff focused on 9547751030 isn’t some bf57a002f7 idiot. It’s me. And if 8add20e307 she wasn’t 613cc576ca focused on 5599b9cda9 him, he c590bec4be wanted to 3fe3f15f0a force her 0bd6559a40 to look 463d7f06d7 at him. That was 51b1bf7f6b why he a905739f9c kissed her. Of course, he regretted fcb59df606 it like crazy afterwards.a0365f6eaee2c96c

His hope that d3d08c88e9 these emotions would eabc13ab20 disappear was just 9f475e338b wishful thinking.

Jiwon scratched her exposed 95e852b980 collar and she glared 29c4d6a8e4 at him. Ever since 53808ee2a4 they started 9a5474958a living in 10820bad65 the same 6098cd290b house, she 66cb9f1965 would unconsciously 4847bc64d6 reveal parts 6cd0a49050 of her a0979767d5 body. However, after the 481cc98033 kiss they shared bc00110cee in the rain, a3a3c2db70 it would make bd4e1259f0 Seokju grow feverish b3d73a7a54 even when she 8a96899bce wasn’t being suggestive.fb5a7fdd4cf5745c

Seokju didn’t have to cc56df6040 ask to know that a5b8e752de they were from the 4f1ba72328 families of victims whose fca47096f0 cases had been solved 7ec92c8d62 by Detective Park.05212af46f821e34

Usually, when bdb9f3517c people heard 341a3bd883 the sound 134397a991 of sirens, 18f75a326a they’d feel 5b6d6da2a1 anxious and 46fb952c8a nervous.

Whenever Seokju recalled 7f2d38b027 the shady house e580bd0779 he used to 27ea5a2b34 live in before 64f717846a he came here, f68610eba9 a dark, musty 654e89658f warehouse, his mouth 35837445c8 ran dry. That day when Jiwon bf08e091f9 desperately waited to hear 5f129244dc the sound of a 7bcb9ab414 siren… The day when 02a4a5370e he’d been beaten up 65a6a9e184 by his inebriated father 5078b8eb45 after being caught hanging 416ededb3f around the warehouse multiple cc7e2b936d times, waiting for his 26d339e411 father to fall asleep c4985c01b4 in drunken stupor.dec3890540d45fde
