[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

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   Welcome Home, Jiyeon

    Silence – the office was under the reign of oppressive waves of silence. It was suddenly too cold to hang around; stares and a smirk, Mrs. Park quietly scowled at the young girl, following every one of her movements, which were sudden and gayly coloured by anxiety.The chilling drops of sweat shamelessly dangled on her forehead, making her shiver as if she had taken a dip in cold water. Right there, she tried not to show emotions, but of course, that proved to be an arduous task.Trying to hold her chin up, Jiyeon’s face suddenly became pale as if her blood had been drained from her. Eyes bulged with tears, lingering on their doorstep.“So?” Out of the blue, Mrs Park’s voice boomed, making Jiyeon’s heart hammer against her chest – so loud that she thought the old woman could hear it from where she was sitting. “Have you finally decided to talk, Jiyeon?”The old woman spat through her clenched teeth, her smile slowly touching the tips of her ears. Her deep, demanding voice was lacking

    The rising sun gently blew its beams down to the Park mansion, there, where they innocently floated into the kitchen, mischievously landing on Travis's pale face. They meant no harm but Travis swiftly released a loud, sonorous sigh, his forehead wrinkling with irritation. “I knew her silence meant nothing good but was it necessary to have said all those nasty things in David's face? Whoever said I care about the name!?” Immediately after a minute, an agitated Travis whose veiny eyes were flickering with rage that was equally married to fear, hissed through his teeth as quietly as he could. His phone laid heavily on his trembling, sweaty hand as he leafed through its blue screen. His heart was throbbing uncontrollably against his chest as he typed a message to David. That would be the seventh message he'd have to type to his boyfriend whom did not respond since last night. None of the messages were responded or read, not even to mention his calls. That was the reason why Travis was

    [Later That Night:]“Have you begun with the search? I need the results as soon as possible; right before any of this get out of hand!” An agitated Mrs Park, who was pacing back and forth, hissed through her clenched teeth. Her features were chiseled, icy, and unyielding, betraying no hint of tender emotions, only those that sent chills down Arthur's spine. She narrowed her eyes at Arthur who was uncomfortably standing still on the same spot, as his eyes followed the hasty movements of his grandmother. “D-don’t worry, I am almost there. I will be done before the schools reopen, I promise you!” Arthur responded shortly after taking a deep breath to hold control over his heart. His hands were carefully placed on his back as he spoke. “How can I not worry when I see that things are falling apart? Those two do not belong together! Their so-called friendship will ruin everything I have built. Thank heavens that nothing has been linked to the media yet.” Mrs Park retorted and quickly wen

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   The Meeting!

    “David is the guest. He is invited all of a sudden, but why? Mrs Park has also hired the best, well-known chef because of him. What could be why he was invited and why was I not told?” An agitated Jiyeon silently investigated. Thoughts were swirling in the back of her head, thwarting her from thinking of anything else but them. Her heart was beating heavily, not because she was scared but because she could not wait to finally set her eyes on David, whom he wished the worst had happened to him. With questions invading her head, she lost interest in Arthur and forgot that he was still around. On the other side, Arthur’s heart was jingling with delight watching Jiyeon’s reaction. He quietly ate his apple and finished it all without saying anything else to Jiyeon. Travis and Mrs Park suddenly showed up in the dining room — the maids were already done setting the table. “Oh, come on in, David. Please, don’t be afraid, make yourself at home.” David who was being walked by a guard stood s

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   The Guest

    [SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD: 6 PM] Right there, in a black SUV, silence rudely lingered, making the quiet young man's heart hammer against his chest with slow, uncalculated moves. His eyes looked down at his sweaty palms, afraid to look up and meet Mr M’s threatening glance. “I see you are moving at a fast pace! That is great! Very good!” Mr M hissed as he applauded. David flinched at the deepness of his voice that casually reverberated across the car. Words hung on his uvula, refusing to come out of his mouth whilst his heart skipped a beat. Not knowing what to say, David bowed as he bit his lower lip. His eyes were still locked on his palms which were now curled into weak fists — not that he would use them on anything or anyone. “I hope you are not rushing just because you want to be debt-free.” Mr M hissed wearing a treacherous smile that instead made David swallow deep. The boy sharply raised his head and glued his eyes on Mr M. “N-no…, that is not the case. I just wa…!” “L

    WARNING: HOMOPHOBIC SLURS, READ WITH CAUTION! Crickets hummed a song, slightly soothing the trembling heart of Travis that was in the creaminess of melancholy. Cracks seemed to decorate his heart as he searched for answers. The moon was shining brightly in the sky like a sparkling diamond thrown in the ocean of pulsating tiny fish. The breeze gently kissed his skin, trying to help his body cool but that was a mission impossible. His blood was wildly boiling; veins had long protruded everywhere on his sweat-drenched skin. He nervously clenched his teeth while swallowing deepily; trying to get rid of a lump that was dancing in the chambers of his throat. His dilated eyes with shock sharply darted up and down the blue screen of his phone that for some reason proved to be heavy for his sweating hand. A frown had long glued itself across his forehead, shamelessly finding a temporary home immediately when he had switched his phone on. Questions and thoughts raced in his head, making it

  • The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days   She Leaves

    The air became cold. Eyes bulged with unspoken fear as they mysteriously glided over the figure of Jiyeon. The girl had tilted her head to her right, her eyes slyly following every jumpy movement that her mother made. Her smile widened just when she noticed confusion covering the red, wet face of her mother. “You bastard! How could you do that to your own mother!?” Mrs Choi hissed through her trembling lips that were now dry as a hard bone. Her mouth felt like a desert, parched and craving moisture as words played hide and seek in the back of her throat. Beads of sweat lined up across her forehead as her breath became shallow. “Oh dear, I am my mother’s daughter. One bastard gave birth to another bastard.” Jiyeon released an annoyed sigh and chuckled when she caught her mother’s lips trembling. “Did you know, father always thought that I looked nothing like him. He made sure to remind me every time we went on an ice cream date, when I was only five. It became a song and you said

    JIYEON CHOI“Are you sure you want to go?” Mrs Park investigated shortly after placing her hand on Jiyeon’s trembling hands. “You don’t have to, I will ask a person to get them for you. Don’t force it!” The old lady assured the girl whose eyes were tightly shut; feeling ashamed to let Mrs Park see her weakness. Jiyeon bit her lower lip and silently counted to three before she could open her eyes. “It is okay. I want to go…and get them myself.” Squeezing Mrs Park’s hand with her free, uninjured hand, Jiyeon whispered soon after taking a deep breath. Mrs Park stared at the girl for a while and never said a word. She nodded at her driver and the engine of the car they were in growled as it began moving. The car roared out of the Park mansion to a destination where Mrs Park was not so sure they should go to. Jiyeon quietly watched the tall, luxurious buildings pass as the car drove by. Her heart was jingling in the embrace of her ribs, as an unidentified number of emotions collided i
