Kwak Hoseok

An Unbroken Tenderness, Only for You

If you hadn't been so desperately lonely.
I forced my limp body back up.
Taking you in and raising you at home like this was never part of my plan.
People say this is an era where everyone raises a beastman, but I had no particular interest in it.
If I hadn't found you tied up with rope, dying at the scene of an illegal beastman trafficking ring.
If this creature hadn't been so lonely.
That desperate loneliness called out to me.
You were just evidence for my case, so I only stayed by your side for medical treatment.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
In a cold world zooming relentlessly past, nobody took you in.
Not wanting to watch a creature I had grown fond of rot away hideously,
I ultimately decided to take you home.

And so, the bond that began when I brought you home has lasted 5 years.
The rhythmic breathing of a furball lying next to me,
something that was neither a voice nor snoring,
whenever it knocked on my heart,
I became tirelessly kind, endlessly stroked your head, and lavished praise on you over and over.
Even if you just curled your tail, met my gaze, or heard me take a soft breath, you knew it was me right away.
I gave you endless, tireless love, love, and love.
