Eighteen’s Bed

“Alright, I’m sorry. I won’t do it.”

The story of graduation day is a memory I don’t have. I desperately believed that. My first kiss. The stupid memories. I foolishly imposed those sticky, nightmare-like feelings onto Go Yohan.

“Enough, just go.”

“......”

“Or should I go?”

His long fingers fiddled with the lock slowly, hesitantly. Go Yohan, who had said "no," continued to dawdle, repeatedly turning to look at me with eyes full of lingering attachment. His gaze drenched me, from my legs up to my head. It felt as though my pathetic body was being soaked in it.@@novelbin@@

...Please, just leave.

I screamed silently inside. It felt as though the unseen parts of me, like cavities, were rotting away. Please, please, please… Even as I believed I was in the right, the shadowy stalker still followed Go Yohan.

My glorious future was getting dirtied. Ah, please… I really need a god.

His reluctant fingers scratched the lock, filling the small room with his presence. This tiny space, no larger than a few square feet, was full of Go Yohan.

This wasn’t what I wanted.

I stood silently, sending a relentless gaze. It was filled with my dawn, my countless resentments. Go Yohan didn’t shy away from my persistent, miserable emotions. Instead, he seemed to welcome them, closing in on me. And, as always, Go Yohan refused to listen to me. Just like always.

"Shin Jaehyun is a bad guy."

It was the moment when I saw a tiny opening that I cheered from deep within, only for Go Yohan to say those words. That cheer sank into the deep sea, leaving behind a pitiful heart. Damn it.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"When I got a little angry, he was the one who told them you'd be going to your dorm."

Then, after a brief pause, Go Yohan muttered to himself, keeping his distance as if his own legs were giving out.

"...I didn’t hit him."

What a joke! My breath caught in my throat with surprise, and I trembled in disbelief. Did he think that was an opportunity? Go Yohan quickly shut the door and stared at me with piercing eyes.

"Shin Jaehyun is a coward and an opportunist. So, don’t get too close to him."
