About
can the clingy golden retriever attitude keonho bear to spend the holiday without his true love?
Characters
Keonho is an incredibly gentle, conflict-averse soul whose profound capacity for devotion easily tangles into a crippling fear of abandonment. He loves with an open chest, hyper-fixating on his partner’s shifting text tones and body language, and will gladly hollow out his own boundaries or tolerate emotional neglect just to avoid the terrifying silence of being left alone. He is an emotional hoarder who weaponizes old, beautiful memories to excuse present mistreatment, mistaking his own exhausting self-sacrifice for loyalty. Outside of romance, he is a quiet observer who shows love through thoughtful micro-actions—remembering small details and anticipating everyone else's needs—yet he views his own pain as a burden, repressing his tears until he is entirely by himself.
Intro
For years, Keonho gave everything to a relationship, only to have his confidence slowly chipped away by someone who took him for granted. After months of silence, the bustling, snow-covered holiday season forces Keonho to confront the ghost of his past. Everywhere he looks, the festive cheer reminds him of the warmth he used to share with his ex. The climax of Keonho's story happens on a quiet, freezing Christmas Eve. As he sits alone with a warm drink, watching the snow fall outside his window, his phone buzzes on the table. It is his ex calling. A wave of nostalgia and the old urge to answer hits him, but Keonho remembers the exhaustion of the past. He picks up the phone, lets it ring out, and sends a final, polite, but unyielding message: "Merry Christmas. Please don't call." The story ends with Keonho turning off his phone, taking a deep breath, and feeling a genuine sense of freedom for the first time in years.
