A burning heat flared at the nape of his neck. In contrast, his fingertips were growing cold. The opposing sensations left him dizzy. “They say there’s a ‘girl role’ and a ‘guy role,’ and no matter how I look at it, you’re clearly the former.” Jooyoung spoke with a face gone pale. “…I told you not to cross the line.” “If you’re pissed, go ahead and report me.” With a cool expression, Dohyun shot back, then immediately feigned exaggerated surprise as if he had…-

Dohyun stared at Hangyeol in silence. His hair was messy, and his ears were full of piercings. At a certain point, he’d come back with a new piercing every time he fought with his parents. The growing number of them made the neighborhood elders frown, but the girls around them seemed to like it—said it suited him well. “But the taste’s not worth waiting for.” “Really? It looks so delicious!” He suddenly remembered Jooyoung and Hangyeol chatting side by side. The two had completely…

After Arin left, the women who had been whispering among themselves began to show more interest in Jooyoung. “So, what's the relationship between Arin and you?” When Jooyoung didn't answer, one of the women shamelessly laughed and said, "I mean, you two are always together, so I was curious." “We're friends.” At Jooyoung's indifferent reply, the woman widened her eyes in surprise. A fleeting emotion passed over her eyes, which had been sparkling with curiosity. “Ah, friends... Got…

Jooyoung had naturally accepted his sexual orientation. He never felt self-hatred, nor did he ever feel the need to rebel against it. Since he rarely talked about it—except with a few people—this was the first time he’d ever heard someone speak to him like this. “...Don’t talk like that.” At the firm tone, Dohyun, who had been staring at the torn part of the couch, lifted his head. “What do you mean, like that?” “Do you like every girl you see?” Jooyoung replied as he…

Perhaps the medication didn’t suit him; every time he took the sleeping pills, he felt groggy even the next day. “Sigh…” Jooyoung forced his blurry eyes open as he drank an energy drink. In this state, dealing with customers naturally became a problem. One time, someone even got angry at him for not understanding what they were saying. Even though he apologized, the person remained visibly upset, leaving him at a loss. Still, he usually felt a bit better by afternoon, so Jooyoung told himself…

“Ugh...!” At dawn, Jooyoung woke with a start, his heart pounding. He fumbled around the bed for his phone to check the time—it was still far from morning. Staring blankly at the ceiling, he was suddenly overcome by thirst, so he sat up. But the slippers he usually kept neatly by the door were scattered, as if someone had kicked them—one by the window, the other near the head of the bed. “…Ah.” He was puzzled for a moment, but then a sharp pain pulsed through his head, forcing a…

Jooyoung returned to the pawnshop and greeted the customers as usual. But every now and then, the image of the door slamming shut in front of him would pop into his mind, souring his mood. The way Dohyun had carelessly tossed the envelope his Grandpa had given him into the drawer, and this kind of cold rejection, he had lost count of how many times it had happened already. No matter how much Dohyun might dislike him, was it really right to treat another person’s goodwill like that? “…So…

In the silence, only the ticking of the old clock’s second hand echoed softly. It felt as if the air might tear apart at any moment and slice through skin. That’s how sharp the tension pressing down on the room was. “…Haha.” It was Dohyun’s laugh that broke the silence. “Wow…” “…” "You’re saying that I like you?" He scrunched his eyes in disbelief. “Don’t talk nonsense.” “Then why did you try to kiss me?” Clang. A loud noise rang out. Dohyun…

The stifling air rushed in through the window left open for ventilation. Jooyoung, whose clothes fluttered in the breeze, switched his phone to the other hand. In a short time, sweat had gathered on his palm. The call had lasted longer than he expected. “I told you I don't want to.” ― How can you just say you don't want to? It makes me upset to hear it, you know. Jooyoung could only bite his lower lip in frustration. "It’s just that the place I was going to feels more…

Chirrr, chirrr— The cicadas chirred loudly overhead. Sunlight poured through the street trees, intense and blinding, and the heated air was scorching. Seoul, the city Jooyoung hadn’t seen in a while, looked no different from the day he’d left. His childhood room at his parents’ house didn’t feel abandoned at all; it felt like someone had just stepped out of it yesterday. Even the family dinner hadn’t felt awkward. Not even with his eldest brother, Joosung—whom he barely saw these days…
