The violence of unrequited love.

Episodes 2-4. Fate

I arrived at Baekhyun's house and went into his room. I was quietly waiting on the bed when Baekhyun came back with an album.

"This is... me."

I saw the child Baekhyun had pointed to, and the child with the chubby cheeks was a child I'd met before. When I was in elementary school, I'd seen him crying on the street. I'd given him the candy I'd been holding.

"Are you... a dog?!"

"Huh? What is that...??

"Is that boy who likes orange candy more than strawberries?"

"How would you know that... No way..."

Tears flowed from Baekhyun's eyes. He was so shocked he couldn't do anything. Baekhyun hugged me tightly, and I patted his back.

"It was you. It was you!! I tried so hard to meet you... I thought you might hate me for being fat, so I looked for you, partly... partly! I dressed up beautifully and found you... It was you... Yeonbi-yaaaa..."

Baekhyun spoke tearfully, and I tried to reassure him that it was okay. From what Baekhyun had said, I was the only one who approached him without a care in the world when he was teased for being skinny as a child. He felt love for me because I gave him courage. But when I moved away, he tried to find me, but he almost gave up...

Byun Baekhyun wept in my arms. Like a child searching for his mother. Like a wanderer searching for the source of life. I held him tightly. I told him it was okay, that I was here, and that I wasn't going anywhere.

"I love you, Yeonbi... Really... I've lived my life looking only at you... Because you were the foundation of my life!"

Byun Baekhyun spoke to me through tearful eyes, and I looked straight into his eyes. Byun Baekhyun raised his hand, covered my eyes, and slowly kissed me.

Instead of a small kiss, Baekhyun pressed a deep, slow kiss, as if he were now sealing my claim. He waited, his lips pressed together, as if begging me to open my heart, and I slowly opened my lips.

Immediately, Baekhyun Byun's tongue entered, and my center of gravity shifted backwards, causing me to fall back onto the bed. However, Baekhyun Byun didn't stop, and continued to thrust deeper and deeper.

The tongue that had been tapping my teeth swept across the roof of my mouth, then entered deeper. Baekhyun, who had ensnared my tongue, became increasingly forceful, as if telling me never to leave again. When I couldn't breathe, I slapped Baekhyun's shoulder, and only then did he break free from me.

"Yeonbi.... Don't leave me again.... Really. Please."

At Byun Baekhyun's plaintive words, I smiled and nodded as if it were nothing. Then, his lips came closer again, and I closed my eyes slightly.
