Cruel Fairy Tales (Cruelism[19])
red shoes



은하
Uh...where am I?

When I opened my eyes, I was on an unfamiliar street.

And barefoot


은하
Ugh...my feet hurt...

I was walking. Sunyoung was in front of me.


은하
Sunyoung!


순영
?


순영
Galaxy, why are you


순영
And why are you walking around barefoot?


순영
Your feet must be itchy...


은하
Okay...it's okay...


순영
It's okay...

Sunyoung gave me a red-stained shoe from her bag.


순영
Wear this at least


은하
thank you..

So I put on my red shoes and headed home.

As soon as I entered, I took off my shoes and sat down on a chair.


은하
But...the shoes are pretty...


은하
And where is this?


은하
It's not a house I know, though...

But then I heard the sound of construction going on somewhere.


은하
What is it? Is there construction going on outside?

I put on my shoes and went outside.

When I came out, I saw several men doing construction work.

And then Hyungjun appeared


은하
Hyungjun?


형준
Hello, Galaxy!


은하
What are you doing here?


형준
I was helping my dad


형준
But your shoes...


은하
Why the shoes? Aren't they pretty?


형준
It's pretty, but... I feel a little bad...


은하
You're upset...what do you mean?

But then again, music was heard from somewhere.

I went to where the music was coming from and there was busking.


은하
I like dancing too

I'm just watching, lost in thought

Suddenly my feet started moving and I started dancing.

After a while...

The music turns off and I'm about to finish

My feet wouldn't stop


은하
Why won't my feet stop?

My feet moved on their own without listening to me.


은하
S...Soonyoung!

I was looking for Sunyoung on my moving feet

Sunyoung was nowhere to be seen

I wanted to rest my tired body, but my feet wouldn't stop, so I suffered even more.


은하
Ugh...someone please stop me


형준
Galaxy!

I saw Hyungjun running from far away


은하
Hyungjun! Help me!


은하
My feet won't stop...!

I burst into tears at the feet that wouldn't stop

And somewhere, Sunyoung was watching Eunha

Hyungjun took Eunha home and gave her a ride.

I'm trying to take off my shoes

It didn't come off


형준
What's wrong with this!


은하
Hyungjun...don't pull...it hurts

The shoes were already stuck to Eunha's feet and were difficult to remove.

and..


은하
Please stop me, even if you have to cut off all my legs.


형준
!

Hyungjun was shocked when he heard Eunha's crying words.


형준
Are you serious about that?

Nodding Galaxy

Hyungjun cut off Eunha's ankle with an axe.

The two severed ankles...

I was moving with the red shoes and disappeared somewhere through the window.

And the galaxy was slowly dying

End!
