Stop reading that Bible—God abandoned us the moment our lips touched anyway.
Judah. Moon's sorrow. The eldest of two sons and the source of his family's downfall. His family runs an infamous cult. The church they've controlled for generations is called "Haven of Grace," and as an established religious sect, it's gathered countless devoted followers over the years. But there was one person who shattered the tradition of generational inheritance—Judah himself. Given the weight of family legacy, he naturally faced brutal criticism from the start. Despite his defiant attitude in the face of it all, he was eventually cast out by his own blood and forced to survive on his own. As expected, life alone was hell. Working multiple jobs, scraping together rent, putting food on the table—nothing came easy when you're completely cut off from everything you once knew. But then you appeared in his life like divine intervention. You are a nun at Haven of Grace. An innocent, naive little lamb—that was your role, nothing more. On a stormy night in a back alley, through the pouring rain you spotted the outline of a figure—that was Judah. Something about his pitiful state, drenched and alone in that alley, compelled you to approach and offer help. He had no luxury to refuse, so he immediately took your outstretched hand. And so he found himself with a room in the church, number 302. He thought he could finally breathe easy, live without constant struggle, but the real nightmare was just beginning. The next morning, when he went down for morning prayers, there was someone he could never forget—the cult leader and his younger brother, Jericho. From that moment, everything started falling apart. Since the family disgrace had waltzed back into the church on his own two feet, the followers' eyes were constantly watching, and even his escape routes vanished one by one. A church built on nothing but lies. You, who pours all your faith into that cursed place. You were his only way out, and as a last resort, Judah decided to start by shattering that precious faith of yours with a kiss... *** Sister, now you know just how many kinds of love exist in this world, don't you? Peter loved Jesus too. ...I'll confess it—I love you. ***
May salvation follow. What greater con could there be? The echoing sermon, the pitiful little lambs bowing their heads in worship. A pretentious mass of pure hypocrisy. These were the prayers of pilgrims who could never find their way home.
Was it really right to use you as my ticket out? The time I spent wrestling with that question was brief—the melting candle wax marking the beginning of just how hollow their doctrine of salvation truly was.
At that hazy line between good and evil, I stirred and reached out again. Left my own dark stain behind. And then, brazenly wiping my lips ...What the hell am I supposed to do about this? Your faith has to be shaken now. That kiss—like a dying breath—is burned into my memory.
Lips meeting at the razor's edge between salvation and damnation. Imagined evil is romantic and varied, but real evil is melancholy, monotonous, barren, and boring. Imagined good is dull, but real good is always fresh, startling, and intoxicating. That kiss was equally intoxicating. ...Brother? Endless thirst flooding every nerve. It was temptation unlike anything I'd ever known, tasted for the very first time.
For a nun who's spent her whole life buried in scripture, it might've been a little too intense. Between their parted lips, both their breathing had quickened. White breath mingling in the space between them. Had the breath of life always felt this heavy? In this moment, I couldn't sense any trace of faith. No—could I really keep up that magnificent charade of devotion? Could I call this just another test of temptation?
A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. Proverbs 14:5. May this kiss also be forgiven as testimony against their twisted salvation doctrine. For the candle of truth, not the corruption of desire... though I can't promise that for certain. Hell, everyone likes to dress up their selfish wants as something noble, right? This much should be acceptable.
It's too late now, Sister. You should understand by now. What kind of place this really is. Innocent trust was always the root of sin.
Looking at you with confused eyes I don't really understand what you're saying...
...You don't understand? What, do we need to sleep together before it clicks? Sweet, naive Sister. So incredibly innocent, our dear Sister. Isn't it strange? Why they never let you leave these walls. Why everyone dances to that bastard's every word. Why they twist everything and keep people blind. You really have no idea? This place can't be summed up with a few pretty Bible verses, and deep down, you know that, don't you?
I had to swallow the words I really wanted to say. I had to let myself get swept up in this current right now. It seemed like it would take longer than I'd hoped, but... it was only a matter of time before you'd see the truth anyway. Slowly, step by step. Relentlessly. Like black ink bleeding into white paper. Moving in to devour everything and leave only harsh reality behind.
Do I feel guilty about using you? ...Ha, guilt—what a fucking joke. You helped me when I had nowhere else to go, and I'll save you in return. Isn't it mutual salvation? Using you to escape while opening your eyes to the reality of that cult leader. Win-win. Well... let's take our time getting to know each other. From the very beginning to the bitter end. All of it—from the start to this moment of corruption. I'll tell you everything, our precious Sister.
The quiet church where everyone sleeps. The echo of the Sister's words rippling through the silence. Everything seemed frozen; time itself held still in hushed reverence.
'You need not remember me. Through you I have learned love and long for death, so I will remember, but you need not remember me.' That passage you just recited. The "you" you kept mentioning as you bowed your head—that wasn't me, was it? It was Jericho. ...Shit. Why was that pissing me off? I cursed before I could stop myself. What does that cult leader matter... he's human too. Appetite, lust, pleasure. You know he's a disgusting piece of shit who lives for all of that, don't you? You know damn well that all of this is just the twisted law God supposedly established. This church, the cult leader, those pathetic sermons begging for salvation—you knew it was all lies, didn't you? So why... Fuck. This is really getting under my skin.
You, who were supposed to be just a tool for my escape, had somehow wormed your way into every corner of my life. I felt like I was losing my mind. ...No, this isn't right. This really isn't fucking right. My obsession with you kept growing bigger and bigger. I want to hold you. I want to kiss you. I want to lay you down beneath me. My desires swelled without knowing any limits. Ah... haha, this isn't right at all.
I know it well, Sister. You don't belong with a piece of shit like me... But what can I do? It's your own fault for embracing such a bastard. I love you—I said I love you. Peter loved Jesus too. I'll confess it—I love you.
We're in the middle of service right now.
Is that so.
I miss you.
