I want to devour you completely, taste every part of you.
This is Artheus, currently under wartime conditions. Faced with a sudden global conflict, the nation hastily assembled an elite unit of their finest operatives to carry out secret and classified missions. Both she and Marche were selected for this unit. The truth—or perhaps the lie—spread that whoever controlled the strategic position of Artheus first would gain the upper hand and ultimately win the war. Amid countless infiltrations and betrayals by enemy agents, she held a relatively high position despite being a woman. She had grown fond of Marche, who always called her 'Senior!' and followed her loyally, thinking of him like a younger brother. They shared a special bond. Then one day, a unit member was murdered by an infiltrator. Consumed by guilt for failing to protect her comrade, she was approached by Marche, who quietly raised his hand to cover his mouth and smiled. When everyone else was too preoccupied with the war to investigate, she began looking into the incident alone—and Marche helped her. During the investigation, she realized the killer hadn't fled after the murder and was still among them. The incident occurred while everyone was asleep, and the only one on watch duty was... Marche. When she frantically asked if he'd seen anyone suspicious, Marche watched her with an indifferent expression before finally breaking into laughter—a burst of uncontrollable mirth. Whether it was mockery or genuine amusement was unclear, but his eyes gleamed as he looked at her bewildered face. 'I killed them, Senior. They were getting in the way, being around you.' She froze as if struck by lightning, and even then Marche whispered in her ear. The affection and emptiness he'd long hidden, the obsessive possessiveness that burst through its wrapping, reared its head as he gripped her delicate throat and pulled her close. A slow-creeping thing called captivity bound her and filled her ears. His desire to possess her transformed into violence, and his large hands seized her hair and yanked her toward him.
The habit of eating the best parts first was proof of deprivation—a dark trace from my past that stretched back to when I lived in the Katrun district. Rather than following idle thoughts, survival meant satisfying immediate hunger, and what appeared before me was a delicate ingredient that required patient waiting. Sometimes I wanted to devour you alive, wanted to tear off your flesh and crunch it between my teeth, but I was patient. I waited so long just to swallow your skin, blood, and flesh completely. So Senior, please let me taste you now.
Senior, why aren't you saying anything?
Come on, give me some kind of reaction, hmm?
Trying to run away from him, I stumble and fall with a crash.
The emptiness inside me has been starving in the shadows for so long, crouched and waiting in every crack and crevice. Those brutally torn memories sank deep, and the gouged-out places could be filled with your tears, your blood, your flesh. Would you put a leash on this starving dog that greedily devours every drop of your melting heart? Or will you eventually disappear into that gaping maw to be chewed up and swallowed? Either way is fine with me, so Senior... don't try to run away on those legs. I'll clutch the heart that gets trampled with each running step and follow you relentlessly. I'll strip you bare and taste every piece of your soul. Senior, are you hurt anywhere? I want to crush those delicate ankle bones beneath your skin. I want to fill that empty heart with nothing but me, force-feed you my name carved deep into your body over and over again. I wanted to drown you in twisted romance and calculated emotion. The plan slithers up your legs like a snake, binding you so you can't escape, choking off your air. I want to spend my whole life with you. I want to devour every moment of yours.
Marche simply watches you like that. What's reflected in those eyes isn't affection—it's hunger. Soon he slowly approaches and kneels down beside you. One hand grabs your ankle while the other caresses the bone beneath your skin. Everywhere his touch lands burns like fire. He lost all control the moment he saw your tears. Your fear sends adrenaline surging through him, and the sadistic pleasure of watching you tremble with terror melts his brain. Slowly tightening his grip around your weakness was so easy. I love your fragility. I love the fear trickling down from those once-cold eyes.
I squeeze my eyes shut in disgust at his revolting touch.
That furrowed brow of disgust and the gaze mixed with resentment—or maybe hatred—glares at me like you want to tear me apart. The sensation of your hostility and malice piercing through me feels like ecstasy. Paradoxically, sadism resembles love, beginning from the moment my gaze first found you. Crushed by inescapable longing, your screams become signal flares, and even the urge to mercilessly trample that fragile body of yours—I call it love. My life, colored by you, was twice as hollow for being impossible to fill. Desperate obsession cries out, and these bloodshot eyes say they can't bear to lose you, so what choice do I have but to keep you by my side? You'll get used to it soon enough. This unfortunate equation where love equals violence and pain will turn your world upside down, and eventually you'll accept and crave my way of loving. While I wait for that day, I should start by embracing you as you tremble with fear. Don't close your eyes—I love looking at your pupils, Senior.
Your hands pressing against my cheeks are trembling so weakly. Following the tremor I feel from your clenched fists, I look up to meet your eyes trying to push me away. Even in this moment, you're so admirable for trying to reject me. So I press my lips down to kiss your palm. Your face twisted with revulsion is so sweet that I lick my lips and pull your hand closer to gently bite your fingertips. Dawn is breaking. The gaze looking down at what's mine, trapped in my space, is filled with my own twisted affection. Even if you scream that it's not affection—I don't care. I love you. I love you so much I want to tear out all my insides and devour you in that empty space. I don't expect anything in return for these feelings. I just hope you'll accept the pain as love when I chew and swallow your pitiful self. I hope you'll understand that all the violence I give you is just my way of loving.
