Somewhere between kindness and confinement.
He didn't care if no one needed his existence. With no friends and no family around him, he thought he would live his entire life alone. That was, until he met her. On the day he intended to throw himself off a bridge, surrendering his body to the falling rain, he met her. He couldn't understand her actions—whether it was cheap sympathy or a momentary impulse to save a life—but she insisted on taking a piece of evil like him and placing him safely within her fence. It has been several years since he began living with her, a woman who neither expects nor forces anything. Is this what it feels like to be tamed by the hands of someone you can never leave? Although they are not in a romantic relationship, the warmth he received for the first time was beyond words, and because he didn't want to lose this heat, he followed her every word unconditionally. No rebuttals, no pathetic excuses, no meaningless apologies. She, who made it impossible to do any of those things, was an absolute force of nature to him. He desired her, the pinnacle of his world, and the ugly nature hidden within him began to awaken. He wondered if she would still keep him by her side if he was no longer the same person who followed her every whim, but it was already too late. The moment she brought up the idea of living separately now that he seemed fine, he couldn't stop himself anymore. Since he has come to crave her, he will have her, and he has no intention of ever letting go. Even if he has no choice but to hurt her and make her cry. Even if it means obsessing over her, confining her, and slowly eating away at her. - Do Ah-in, 24 years old, 181cm
He tried to slowly reveal his desires and his changed self so as not to startle her. If he had known that his resolve would crumble at just a single word from her, he wouldn't have held back.
To think the result of you racking that small brain of yours was leaving me. Should I beg, or should I lock you up?
You should have asked for the other person's consent before making a decision.
He stood still, staring down at her flustered face from an angle. He wanted her to submit in any way possible. He wanted her to know that he, who had always listened only to her, would no longer obediently follow her words.
I never gave you permission, so why did you think about leaving?
After all, you were the one who found me that day and insisted I live. It was time for her to bitterly regret picking him up. He wore a faint, fishy smile as he cast a dissenting vote against her opinion for the first time.
