      by marshmallow “If that’s not it, then why do you keep smiling?” “Am I?” At those words, Jaeha rubbed the corners of his mouth. Now that he thought about it, it seemed he was always smiling whenever he was with Yijae. “It’s true.” Jaeha muttered to himself as if crestfallen. Chaekyung, watching him stand there blankly, staring at the spot where Yijae had disappeared, wrapped his arms around himself as if getting goosebumps. It was a side of Jaeha he had never seen in the more than 10 years he…

      by marshmallow It had only been a week since he started attending school, but Jaeha was the only friend he had made so far. When Yijae saw people walking around in groups, wondering how they all got so close already, his head would naturally hang low. After much thought, he searched the internet and found a post saying that to make friends, you had to participate frequently in department events. However, he had already missed both the orientation and the freshmen welcome camp, so he wanted to at least make a friend at…

      by marshmallow Perhaps because he had woken up early in the morning and tensed his body in nervousness all day, his entire body ached like he had muscle soreness. Just a moment ago, Dohae had grabbed his hair, causing a little blood to seep from his scalp. However, Yijae, who had taken a bath and was now lying on his futon, recalled the day's events and smiled pleasantly. “……Friend.” Yijae had never dreamed his first friend would be someone as wonderful as Jaeha. He thought of Jaeha, who had treated him…

      by marshmallow THUMP THUMP! “Hey, Kang Jaeha! You’re in here! I know you are, so open up right now.” The violent noise, as if threatening to break the door down, made Yijae’s tears vanish. As he flinched, letting out a sharp, hitching breath, Jaeha’s brow furrowed. THUMP THUMP! “Hey, Kang Jaeha!” At the renewed banging and shouting, Jaeha pressed a hand to his forehead, looking vexed. Yijae’s face, terrified by the loud noise, grew paler by the second. Watching him, Jaeha immediately got…

      by marshmallow It was that person. The one who saved him from the warehouse……. How is this man here? As Yijae came face to face with the man whose face he hadn't forgotten for a single day since then, his heart began to pound. “What are you do- no, wait. More importantly, you were a college student?” Jaeha, having spotted Yijae, stared blankly at his face as if he still couldn't believe it. At first, he thought he was dreaming. But the face, still covered here and there with wounds, was definitely…

      by marshmallow Dohae raised his hand once again and slapped Yijae’s already swollen cheek. As if his anger hadn’t subsided, Dohae continued to vent his frustration on Yijae to his heart's content, only stopping when he saw Yijae’s tightly shut mouth. Even for Dohae, it was annoying to have to beat him like this every time, wondering how many more times he had to be hit to come to his senses. He took his wallet out of his pocket and tossed a few bills onto Yijae’s face as if giving alms. “I have no…

      by marshmallow "He seems to have mild hypothermia, and his condition is not good due to overlapping malnutrition. As you can see, the bruises are also quite severe." “Malnutrition?” Jaeha frowned and asked, wondering for a moment if he had misheard. It wasn't that he didn't know the word malnutrition, but it was the first time in his life he had seen someone with it. "It seems he hasn't been receiving proper nutrition for a long time, as his bones and organs are weak and smaller than average. Moreover,…

      by marshmallow "Hand." Yijae, blinking rapidly as if puzzled, held out his hand. Jaeha, curious to see what his reaction would be this time, piled a mountain of chocolate on his palm once more. “Heek……!” Yijae's eyes, wider than before, had his cheeks turning slightly red. A faint, surprised gasp tickled Jaeha's ear. The corner of his torn lip had lifted slightly; it seemed this simple chocolate had managed to improve his mood. While he was admiring the colorful chocolates filling his palm with…

      by marshmallow Even though Jaeha had removed all the ropes binding his hands and feet, Yijae didn't even think to remove the tape covering his mouth. Jaeha found this so absurd that he let out a small, involuntary chuckle. At that moment, Yijae reacted sensitively to Jaeha's sound, flinching and prostrating himself on the floor, head bowed. Jaeha watched him for a long time as he remained motionless with his head down, finally letting out a deep sigh and raising his hand. Yijae, who had been stealing glances at him…

      by marshmallow Long tear stains formed on Yijae’s white face. Engulfed in fear, Yijae cried out, but Dohae ignored his reaction and dragged him into the storage room. The dusty interior of the room was filled with construction materials, just like the ones scattered outside. Dohae stared at Yijae, who didn't even resist, as if he had given up on everything. He wiped the tear stains from Yijae's eyes, then lowered his hand and lightly tapped his cheek. Then, with his characteristic pretty smile, he whispered softly…
