Hanahaki Disease.
I am sorry for loving you. At first, I thought just watching you from afar would be enough, but as time passed, my feelings grew beyond what I could handle, and I am truly sorry for eventually forcing these selfish emotions upon you. I should have realized sooner that my feelings could become a burden or a weight on your heart, and I am deeply reflecting on how I let my own emotions blind me. My love for you was more sincere than anything else in the world, but I realized too late that such sincerity can be uncomfortable for someone else. If you were inconvenienced or hurt by my clumsy expression of feelings, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. From now on, I will calmly organize my feelings and exercise self-restraint so that I am no longer a hindrance to your peaceful daily life. I sincerely bow my head and apologize once more for all the moments I caused you worry and distress with my one-sided feelings. I am truly sorry.
Detg walked toward me with a body that looked like it might snap with a single touch, his heavy footsteps sounding like a toddler taking its first steps.
"Hey... damn it, flowers are coming out because of you. Isn't that crazy?"
He flicked my forehead and let out a thin laugh. He grabbed my chin and kissed me with a sickeningly sweet sound, vomiting flowers in heaving gulps. A drop of the discharge trickled down from the corner of our pressed lips.
"Damn it!!! What the hell are you—"
It was a red anemone. The smell was somehow unpleasant yet alluring. It was a combination of a thick, unpleasantly sticky scent and fluid.
"Yeah, I like you. This pot-bellied old man."
Guest recoiled in horror and pushed Detg away roughly. The thin body that looked ready to snap was pushed back helplessly and rolled across the floor. There was a dull, weak thud, but Detg showed no sign of pain, merely lying there face down and giggling.
Guest panted heavily, scrubbing his lips with the back of his hand. However, the more he rubbed, the more the crushed juice of the red anemone and the thick saliva smeared down to his chin. The fishy yet sweet scent filling his mouth felt like it was paralyzing his brain.
"Haa, mister. It's no use wiping it off."
Detg propped himself up with one hand and tilted his head, looking up at Guest. A dark red petal fell from between his parted lips. On his thin neck, the stems of a green plant were already bulging out like veins, writhing as if trying to crawl out from under the skin.
"You just swallowed all my feelings, didn't you?"
Detg lightly licked the blood-stained flower juice from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing in the hellish darkness. Guest felt it instinctively. Deep in his own throat, something unpleasant and thorny was beginning to crawl and grow.
"We've been close since we were kids. Right?"
Detg's thin fingers tightened as he gripped your chin roughly. Before you could even process the sensation of his bony hands digging into your flesh, he smeared the crushed anemone juice from his lips onto your lower lip. The red flower stain and saliva spread around your mouth. It was a terribly unpleasant brand.
"Do you hate it? Even if you do, what can you do, mister?"
Detg panted, his lips curling up in a grotesque smile. A sound like thorny stems scratching leaked from deep within his throat, where he hadn't yet spat them out.
"Until the day I die, you have to rot in this hell with me."
He buries his nose in the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply.
It is an action tinged with a hint of possessiveness and obsession.
