last update 게시일: 2026-02-26 00:11:06

The fever broke with the dawn.

Elion woke up to the sound of rain tapping gently against the attic window. The violent storm of the previous night had passed, leaving behind a grey, weeping morning sky.

He was curled up at the foot of the narrow iron bed, his head resting on his knees. He must have dozed off while keeping watch.

He jerked his head up, panic flaring instantly.

"Cale?"

Cale was awake.

He was sitting up against the headboard, his legs stretched out. The heavy wool blanket had slip

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   204: The Calculation of Joy

    The kitchen smelled of burnt sugar and frustration.Elion stood by the open oven door, waving a towel at the smoke detector, which was chirping a rhythmic, piercing warning."Disable it," Cale said from the doorway. He was leaning on his cane—he didn't need it as much anymore, but he liked the weight of it in his hand. "The sensor is sensitive to particulate matter. It is a false positive.""It's not a false positive, Cale," Elion coughed. "I burned the cake. It's a positive positive."Cale walked over. He peered into the oven. A black, crusty circle sat on the rack where a vanilla sponge cake was supposed to be."Carbonization," Cale noted. "Thermal exposure exceeded the structural limit of the batter.""I got distracted," Elion admitted, closing the oven door. "I was reading the comments on the article.""The Mitchell article?""Yeah. Someone said we look like 'vampire hunters in love'. I laughed, and then I forgot the timer."Cale took the towel from Elion. He reached up and fanned

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   203: The Variable of Decay

    The bathroom light was unflinching. It was a high-wattage LED bulb that Cale had installed himself because he claimed the previous incandescent bulb offered "insufficient lumen output for proper hygiene inspection."Now, he was regretting the upgrade."Elion," Cale called out. His voice was calm, but it had an edge to it. A vibration of controlled panic. "Report to the secure zone immediately.""It's a bathroom, Cale," Elion yelled from the bedroom. "Not a bunker.""It is a site of biological maintenance. And I have discovered a structural failure."Elion walked in, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He was wearing flannel pajama pants and nothing else. Cale, fully dressed in his black trousers and white shirt (he had never really embraced the concept of casual wear), was leaning over the sink, his nose inches from the mirror."What failure?" Elion asked. "Did the pipe burst?""No," Cale said. "The chassis. My chassis."He pointed a trembling finger at his own temple."Look," Cale commanded

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   202: The Ghost's Diary

    The attic of the Brooklyn studio was hotter than the rest of the warehouse. Heat rose, carrying with it the smell of drying paint and old secrets.Elion sat on a wooden crate, holding a small, leather-bound book. It was black, nondescript, the kind you could buy at any stationery store for five dollars. But to Elion, it felt like a bomb."Are you going to open it?" Cale asked.Cale was standing by the window, looking out at the city skyline. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, his posture relaxed but alert. He had been "monitoring" the pigeons on the fire escape for ten minutes."It's Alex's diary," Elion said. "It feels... invasive.""It is data," Cale said, turning around. "Data left for us. He painted the key. He painted the door. He left the breadcrumbs.""He left a scavenger hunt.""Scavenger hunts lead to prizes. Open the book."Elion took a breath. He opened the cover.Property of Alex Marrow. If found, please return to the guy who looks like me but sadder.Elion laughed,

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend    201: The Legacy of Dust

    The key turned in the lock with a heavy, satisfying clunk.Elion pushed the steel door open. The smell of the studio rushed out to meet them—turpentine, old paper, and the dry, dusty scent of a space that had been holding its breath for a year."It smells the same," Elion said, stepping inside.Cale followed him. He was not using his cane today. His leg was stiff from the drive, but he was walking under his own power. He stopped in the center of the room, scanning the space."It is... quiet," Cale said. "The acoustic profile has changed.""It's empty, Cale. We moved the furniture out last year.""The emptiness has a resonance. Like a bell after it has been struck."Elion walked to the window. He pulled up the blackout shade, letting the Brooklyn afternoon light flood the room. The dust motes swirled in the beam, golden and lazy."So," Elion said, turning back to Cale. "This is it. Our pied-à-terre. What do we do with it?""We renovate," Cale said instantly. "The wiring is still knob-a

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   200: The Linear Year

    The calendar on the wall of the kitchen was a physical object. Paper. Ink. A picture of a lighthouse for the month of October.Cale stood in front of it, a red marker in his hand. He stared at the date: October 14th."It is a Tuesday," Cale said.Elion looked up from his laptop. He was sitting at the kitchen table, finalizing the edits on his second book. The first one had sold well enough to fix the roof and buy a new water heater, which Cale referred to as the "Thermal Core.""Tuesday again?" Elion asked, taking a sip of coffee. "The universe really likes that day.""It is a statistical anomaly," Cale murmured. "Or a recurring variable."He uncapped the marker. He drew a big, red circle around the date."One year," Cale said."One year since what? The wedding?""Since the escape," Cale corrected. "Since we crossed the bridge. Since the ambulance. Since the wedding. The events were... clustered.""It's been a year," Elion agreed. He stood up and walked over to Cale. He wrapped his ar

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   199: The Paper Trail

    The delivery truck rumbled up the gravel driveway, kicking up a cloud of dust that hung in the crisp December air.Cale stood on the porch. He was wearing a thick wool peacoat over his button-down shirt. He watched the truck with the unblinking intensity of a sniper tracking a target."It is early," Cale said, checking his watch. "The delivery window was 2 PM to 6 PM. It is 1:45."Elion stepped out beside him, wrapping his cardigan tighter around himself. He was holding a mug of tea, his knuckles white against the ceramic."Maybe the driver is efficient," Elion said. "You like efficiency.""I like accuracy," Cale corrected. "Early arrival disrupts the schedule. I was in the middle of analyzing the structural integrity of the deck stairs.""You check those stairs every day, Cale. They aren't going anywhere.""Wood rot is a silent enemy."The driver hopped out. He was a young man with a clipboard and a confused expression. He looked at the house, then at the ocean view, then at the two

    The sound of the helicopter was a physical weight, pressing down on the roof of the library.Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack.It vibrated through the floorboards, shaking the dust from the shelves. To Elion, it sounded like a rescue. To Cale, it sounded like exposure.Elion was on his knees next to the

    The wind on the roof of the Centurion Tower was not a breeze; it was a physical assault. It whipped Elion’s hair into his eyes and snapped the production flags like gunshots.Fifty stories above Manhattan, the air was thin and smelled of exhaust and ozone.Elion stood at the edge of the "Leap of Fa

    The morning light in the Garden Room was cruel. It illuminated the dust motes, the smudges on the glass doors, and the stark, grey pallor of Cale’s skin.Elion sat up, rubbing the grit from his eyes. He had slept in his clothes, his hand resting near the brass lamp he had used as a weapon the night

    The library was a tomb of shadows and expensive leather.Outside, the storm battered the mansion with the fury of a scorned god. Rain lashed against the tall, leaded windows like gravel. Thunder shook the floorboards every few minutes, a deep, resonant boom that vibrated in Elion’s chest.Inside, t
