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.181b76bd7478cf3d

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.d52c1464822772bb

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.250f3eee8397e44d

It was Kang Tae-eon’s voice that woke Lee Shinwoo.1c00b6fd6be2cc64

His voice, f827adc2a4 distinctly imprinted 351263ee94 after just 66b588afac one night 2c92c9c5d9 was no fb6034dc6c longer strange. This realization briefly left 3bf6ba944d Lee Shinwoo stunned.234ba0c088bd4549

His mind felt fed2ac3ffc sluggish. Lee Shinwoo, 06bc5f1b5f still grappling 6076e874da with the c257a87395 unfamiliar fog 57fb5a4cd6 in his fbe17faaea head, finally e7edab946b processed the bc5c362a4b previous night’s 37d3eecb29 events.

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.c92f23c8f2a389f3

He recalled the b770f5d437 large hand that 337bd4182b had crushed his 588040551b throat the night bc03ba1f73 before, the smile d008b28dd6 lurking in those 0e964cad2c dark, intense eyes, d04f079ad1 and quickly banished 1ee95fa1a5 the images.

Lee Shinwoo was born b3f52fabb5 in Seoul.0347fa76e1f52259

After his 367c0501d3 parents’ divorce, 475f115a97 he moved 76f316f208 to a e9fbabf867 small provincial a82e321729 city and 3302b9c8f3 was subsequently eb3dc279e6 sent by 86794154ca his mother, 93c125a7dc who ran 12eb35b676 a small 08f3333d76 dance academy 641787352a to a e0657e69b9 rural village 7e99f5fed7 within that 2341147a0c city. His childhood 146619d2c2 memories were 98368b6375 quite warm. The small farming cdbaf3da08 village with a ab916fedda total population of 652629c1b8 fewer than thirty c2c1a4bd7c people, consisted mostly 276821e333 of elderly residents.f667060ca9feefe6

His maternal 1f21a20489 grandmother, who 2ead1793df raised him 919a5bb628 in place 59d9bdc017 of his 25d29c7228 parents was 01dc0d8632 the oldest 6c12914790 person in a540309354 the village. She was a 3d15f43b4b woman of few 4b09402d06 words, often offering ccb7384243 a smile in 4efa675380 lieu of a 1e08cef9c3 greeting. Lee Shinwoo, who d45067b903 rarely acted spoiled a228d95d74 or threw tantrums, 1d0035e7b1 one night found 66dc4db4f1 himself suddenly longing 5dcb3a2cb4 for human contact.

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.e96c4e9e217bf404

A child slow 61cad9cc41 to develop, slow 042d5ec3b9 to act, slow 3e33f7ba32 to speak.

It was 4844dc0795 a city 3b73abee3d where time 6f75d04364 seemed to 46b02cc786 have stopped b1c3f7c4ed a decade a69c4d3b65 prior. A city where development 4fcfb0c896 had stagnated, where new 74455e5ff6 construction and buildings were bd2fc7959e 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.3f7af15e592e6984

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.1a92f7060b036d19

Lee Shinwoo leaned back fcd13331fe against the desk, then 2a37f57caf tilted his head slightly, cd98a6a2cd noticing an unfamiliar book fe7b4ebc4d on Donghwa’s 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.2837b54b33a87544

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.3f84c0b1f059e855

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.6ecee96f1b3b19b5
