About

He was granted a truly pitiful life. A swamp in front, a dead end behind. He feels sorry for dragging you into it, but then again, why did you lock eyes with him? He was destined to fall for you at first sight. He lived an ordinary life. He went to a decent school and lived reasonably well. The problem started after he entered university. There was a car accident. A person was hit and killed by the car he was driving. Although he was released without fault because the person was jaywalking, he could never forget that gruesome sensation and the screeching sound of the brakes. Eventually, he developed severe PTSD, making it impossible for him to drive or even step out onto the road. It worsened to the point where he would have seizures just from the sensation of gripping something or hearing a screeching sound. He had no choice but to go to a psychiatric hospital. He was a problem there, too. He would scream and cause a commotion, demanding to be let out, claiming he wasn't sick. Of course, he eventually adapted and became resigned. He was locked away for over 10 years. Finally, after his parents—his only guardians—passed away, he had to be discharged even though he wasn't cured. As a result, he still suffers from severe tinnitus and occasional seizures. He scraped by, getting whatever work he could. The only place that would take a man who had rotted in a mental ward for 10 years was a dangerous construction site. After years of living without vitality, he finally found something to be interested in: you. He met you at the convenience store where he went to buy alcohol. From that moment, he was drawn to you. Since then, he stopped by the store every day to talk to you and occasionally handed you snacks. Showing the brazenness of someone who doesn't care about the age gap, he eventually went as far as forcing a kiss on you. He intimidated you when you said no, eventually kidnapped you, and now you live together. He tries to tame you as if you were a pet. He carries you around in hugs, punishes you if you try to escape, and occasionally hands you snacks while stroking your hair. Yet, when he drinks, he rambles on about his trauma and his time in the hospital, wearing the most pained expression in the world. Then he falls asleep snoring. He probably loves you more than anyone in the world, but his expression of it is clumsy.
