A Good Reason

The spacious hospital room was flooded and bathed in the golden beams of the afternoon sun; excited to witness the tender reunion of mother and son.

Belly-deep laughter smoothly filled the atmosphere, contagious and joyful. The golden, glistening rays shamelessly landed on the bed, there where David and his forever-joyed mother sat hand in hand.

The Impossible had become possible; the unthinkable, real. David’s eyes locked onto his mother’s, and just like that, his heart broke, prompting a waterfall of tears to stream down his cheeks to reveal his sadness that was intertwined with excitement that he failed to express better.

His heart throbbed as his trembling, sweating hands refused to break contact from the hands of a woman who had given him life.

The weight of years of struggle, of pain and uncertainty, seemed to melt away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of gratitude.

The doctor had discreetly slipped out, leaving the two to their precious moment. The silence between them w

    A bird chorus filled the whole room, sharply yanking Travis from his deep sleep. The first thing that greeted him was a sharp, hot, and piercing pain that pulsated in the middle of his head. There, his heart hammered itself against his wobbly chest wall as he felt the pain start to spread throughout his brain.His ears throbbed with pain as if someone had been pulling them. Standing up straight on the bed, Travis clutched at his hair while he took deep breaths. The room around him was swirling, as if on a merry-go-round.There, he tried to open his eyes, but the morning beams of the sun were just too sharp, too demanding of him to keep his eyes closed. A groan escaped his dry, chapped lips as he maneuvered to calm his wild heart, but nothing came of it.One more time, he tried to at least open his eyes, and this time he could. Nothing stayed still, walls seemed to be in the embrace of shadows that kept on dancing in his eyes. Everything he saw was either standing still or just swaying

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   Dearest Halmeoni

    TRAVIS FUJIRIKI PARK“Travis-s-s!” An omnipresent voice whispered in the depths of Travis’s ears, whose vision was blurred and swam, as if the ground would not stay still. There, his feet heavily dragged on the floor with lazy thuds that shyly fell after the other, afraid that further steps would mark the end of his journey. No, the journey did not have to end yet; it had to continue until he reached his bedroom, where he would be under its warm embrace. He had to!“One…more s-step…!” His lips refused to part. They were as heavy as lead. No, he could not feel them, but in his mind, words played hide and seek. “I can’t f-feel my face…! Help-p me…!” Words buttered themselves against the cages of his throbbing brain. He tried; he definitely tried to open his mouth and scream, but the only part of his body that seemed to obey him was his feet. His tongue tingled as he felt every corner of his body start to fail. “Not there yet…!” A desperate whisper, only he could hear. The world arou

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   Abyss

    Heavy! His head was overwhelmed by tormenting, poisonous thoughts that made it hard for him to think straight. Pain? Every part of his head was kept hostage by a piercing pain that struck every nerve of his brain. His chest barely moved; it was as if he had no energy to breathe, and the truth was that he wished he could not at all. There, he laid on the bed, his puffy and red eyes blankly staring at the ceiling. Nothing — his heart throbbed with slow beats as he listened to the shrieking thoughts that shamelessly lay heavy on his brain. Nothing was the same, it never was ever since he received that envelope with Travis's name on it. He tried to console himself — pacify himself to forget about anything else and focus on the mission but the problem was, the mission was to betray the person he loved. Well, he already betrayed him — sleeping with Sean was the biggest betrayal of them all. “I wish…it could be me instead, mom. I wish it was me sleeping there, maybe…maybe I

    [THE SAME NIGHT!]The world narrowed to the space between them, allowing the air to charge with anticipation. Eyes sparkling with glee locked with each other. Standing only a breath away from each other, their heaving chests touched and connected into a synchronized mode.“Sean…!” David, whose cheeks were violently blooming, whispered as soon as he felt Sean’s warm body rudely press against his, leaving no gap between their organs and sensitive parts. Wearing a treacherous smile, Sean leaned his head forward and, without warning, glued his lips to David’s throat, leaving a trail of goosebumps.The man shamelessly smirked as he deliberately left marks on David’s neck while listening to his needy cries. His cold, veiny hand slipped down on David’s waist and quickly felt excruciating heat radiating from the boy’s body. “You say you don’t want me here, but your body says something else. Make up your mind, Pookie!”Sean whispered close to David’s red ears before a grunt flowed from his lip

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   The Plan

    [THE SAME DAY…]NIGHT,The wind blew its stinging kisses on David’s warm skin, which was slowly becoming cold. His hair whipped fast as the gentle breeze continued to play hide and seek on the strands of his hair.There, he slouched with undistinguished fright as he watched the broad back of Mr M, whose hand was hidden deep into the pockets of his trousers while his other free, gloved hand carefully held tight on his cigar. The mafia don puffed smoke out as his eyes admired the night sky above them.“Enchanting, isn’t it?” Mr M aired a question intended for David, who was trying his best to hold in his emotions and keep his heart steady, but of course, it was becoming a hard activity. Behind David were two strongly built guards who were coolly looking around.“Y-yes. Very enchanting…!” The boy replied instantly after recalling that the man before him did not like to repeat himself or wait for a response. His eyes slowly rose at Mr Sok, who had been standing next to Mr M, carefully fo
