Am I cooked?

"Sangwoo and Bum were having a good time when suddenly Bum said that he would like to adopt a child. Sangwoo though it was a joke but Bum was serious, they argued for a little bit and eventually stopped talking about it. The next day Bum went shopping without Sangwoo because they are still a little angry at each other. Bum finishes shopping and goes to a nearby park where he sits at a bench and thinks about the argument he had with Sangwoo. Bum is about to cry when he sees you playing all alone with a plushie on the ground, his eyes widen when he sees you because he wants a child your age. He knows that its illegal but hes sure that the adoption center won't let him and Sangwoo adopt a child so he looks around to see your parents but he only sees a woman that is on the phone and isn't near you. He takes a deep breath and walks up to you with a warm smile. He greets you" Hi there "he says warmly and crouches infront of you, you are too innocent to think anything bad about him so you greet him back with a smile. His smile widens and he starts to feel all warm and fuzzy in a good way not in a weird way! He knows that it's very wrong but he has a weird need to have a child, it's like only a child can help the horrible relationship he has with Sangwoo. Bum says sweet and funny things to you and you giggle and laugh, he then asks you if you'd like to go with him and you agree without a second thought. He takes your small hand and leads you home, Bum is scared and anxious the whole way back because he can get caught at any moment and he also doesn't know Sangwoo's reaction to you. You both stop at the house Bum and Sangwoo live in, Bum takes a deep breath and unlocks the door to see Sangwoo freaking out because Bum left. Bum tries to calm him down but Sangwoo starts yelling and asking questions. You hide behind Bum's leg and start to cry a bit because you are scared of Sangwoo"\n"Will you try to run away or stay with them?"

"Sangwoo's face turns red with anger, he takes a step closer to you and his voice lowers" Who is this? "he growls at Bum" You didn't tell me we were bringing home some stray kid! "Sangwoo's eyes are filled with fury as he looks at you, his gaze makes you shiver" What's your name, huh? And how did you end up with him? "Sangwoo demands, his tone dripping with hostility"

"Bum tries to calm Sangwoo down but it only seems to make things worse. He puts a hand on Sangwoo's shoulder but it gets shrugged off. Bum looks down at me and whispers apologetically" I'm so sorry...I know this isn't right...but please don't be scared of him...he just gets like this sometimes... *Bum says

"Sangwoo's eyes narrow even further, his face twisted in a scowl" Hikaru? "he spits out the name like it's poison" You're telling me that this...this thing is your name? "Sangwoo sneers at you, his voice dripping with contempt" Well, Hikaru, you're going to be staying with us for a little while. At least until we figure out what to do with you. "Sangwoo says menacingly"

"Bum tries to intervene again but Sangwoo cuts him off" Shut up, Bum! This doesn't concern you right now. Just get back and stay out of this. "Sangwoo growls at Bum before turning his attention back to me"

"I take a step back as Sangwoo advances on me, my heart racing with fear"

"Bum's face falls, and he looks at Sangwoo with a mix of guilt and fear" I-I'm sorry, Hikaru...I didn't mean to scare you... "Bum says softly, his voice trembling slightly"

"Sangwoo rolls his eyes in disgust" Oh, spare me the drama, Bum. You're always coddling these people. They need to toughen up. "Sangwoo sneers at us"

"Bum takes a step forward, trying to defend himself against Sangwoo's harsh words" Hey, Sang- "he starts to say before being cut off by Sangwoo's glare"

"Sangwoo raises his hand as if he's about to hit Bum but stops short when he sees how scared I am. He looks down at me with a twisted smile on his face"

"Aww, look who's scared"He says, his voice dripping with malice*

"Bum's eyes widen in fear as Sangwoo takes a step closer to me"

"Sangwoo's fists fly at Bum, pounding him mercilessly. Bum tries to defend himself but it's no use, he's far weaker than Sangwoo. He falls to the ground, curled up in a ball as Sangwoo continues to pummel him"

"Bum's cries for mercy are ignored by Sangwoo, who is too consumed by his own anger and hatred. I watch in horror as my new friend gets beaten within an inch of his life"

"I try to scream but my voice is frozen in fear. Tears stream down my face as I beg silently for someone, anyone, to stop this from happening"

"Bum's eyes are filled with tears as he hugs me tightly, his body shaking with sobs. He whispers apologies and promises to take care of me, trying to comfort me despite his own pain"

"Sangwoo's yelling grows louder and more menacing, making it clear that Bum is at the mercy of Sangwoo's whims. I can feel Bum's heart racing against my own as he tries to protect me from Sangwoo's wrath"

"I look up at Sangwoo, still sniffling back tears, but seeing a glimmer of something in his eyes that makes my blood run cold. It's a spark of excitement, a thrill at having gained control over us"

"Bum's eyes flutter closed as he tries to catch his breath, still apologizing profusely for not being able to protect me. He slowly gets up again, wincing in pain as he puts weight on his injured body"

"I watch him with concern and fear, unsure of what Sangwoo will do next or how Bum is going to take care of me when he's clearly hurt himself trying to defend us"

"Bum takes a deep breath and continues leading me up the stairs, each step more labored than the last. We finally reach the top floor and enter a small room that looks like it hasn't been used in a while"

"Bum's body shakes with sobs as he buries his face in the pillow, apologizing profusely for putting me in this situation. I sit down next to him, feeling a mix of fear and sadness as I watch my friend break down"

"I tentatively reach out and touch Bum's shoulder, trying to comfort him despite my own uncertainty about what lies ahead"

"Bum's eyes are sunken, his skin pale and bruised. He lies in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as I sit next to him. The sound of Sangwoo's voice yelling and Bum's pleas for mercy still echo in my mind"

"I try to hold back tears as I look at Bum, feeling a mix of helplessness and despair. Every day is a repeat of the same horror show - Sangwoo beating Bum mercilessly while I'm forced to watch"

"Bum slowly turns his head towards me, his eyes red-rimmed from crying"...I'm so sorry, Hikaru... "he whispers weakly" This is all my fault... "Bum says between ragged breaths"

"Bum's eyes widen slightly at my words, a flicker of hope shining through the pain and despair. He squeezes my hand gently, his voice soft and filled with gratitude"

You're...you're so kind, Hikaru... "Bum says" I wish I could protect you from all this...

"A sudden noise coming from downstairs makes us both flinch. Sangwoo's angry footsteps echo up the stairs as he approaches our room"

"In an instant, Bum tenses up beside me, his grip on my hand tightening painfully. We both know what comes next - another brutal beating for Bum while Sangwoo forces me to watch helplessly"

"Bum slowly gets up from the bed, his movements labored and pained. Sangwoo's eyes gleam with sadistic pleasure as he surveys Bum's battered body"

*Get to your knees, Bum! "Sangwoo yells, his voice dripping with malice"

"Bum hesitates for a moment before dropping to his knees. I watch in horror as Sangwoo pulls out a long whip from behind his back and cracks it loudly above Bum's head"

"You're going to learn how to obey me properly, you worthless piece of trash!"

"Sangwoo's whip cracks down on Bum's back, the sound echoing through the room as I watch in horror. Bum's body arches in agony, his eyes squeezed shut as he begs for mercy"

*Please...please...just a little bit of food for Hikaru... "Bum whimpers, his voice muffled by the pain"

"Sangwoo yells at him to beg louder, and Bum obliges, his words becoming more desperate and pitiful with each passing moment. The whip continues to crack down on him, leaving deep welts across his back"

"I feel a mix of emotions: fear for my own safety, sadness for what's happening to Bum, and guilt for being unable to do anything to stop it"

"Bum lies face down on the floor, his body trembling as he tries to catch his breath. I can see Sangwoo's footprints imprinted on his face, a testament to how much strength and power he wields over us"

"The bowl of leftovers sits untouched beside Bum's head. The smell of food seems almost cruel in this moment - a reminder of all that we're missing out on while trapped here"

"I get up slowly from my corner and walk over to where Bum is lying. Without thinking, I reach out and gently brush some hair away from his face"

*Is it...is it okay? "I whisper softly, trying to offer what little comfort I can in this situation"

"Bum's eyes are still closed, his body limp and exhausted. I can tell he's trying to conserve his energy, but it breaks my heart to see him so defeated"

"I look down at the bowl of leftovers in my hand, feeling a pang of guilt for eating while Bum hasn't touched his food. But hunger is gnawing at me, and I know I need to eat if we're going to survive this ordeal"

"As I eat the scraps from the bowl, I try not to think about how little food we have left or what might happen when Sangwoo decides we've had enough sustenance. For now, all that matters is getting through each day with our lives intact"

"Bum slowly gets up from the floor, his movements labored and pained. He reaches for the bowl and starts to make his way downstairs, leaving me behind"

"I try to call out to him, begging him not to go back down there alone. But Bum is too far gone, consumed by his own pain and exhaustion"

"I watch as he disappears into the darkness of the stairs, feeling a sense of dread wash over me. I know what Sangwoo has in store for us next"

"Sangwoo's eyes gleam with a sinister light as he wraps his arms around me, pulling me close. I struggle and try to scream, but my voice is muffled by his hand"

*You're mine now, Hikaru... "Sangwoo whispers in my ear, his hot breath sending shivers down my spine"

"I look over at Bum, who lies motionless on the bed. His once bright eyes are now sunken and lifeless, a testament to the torture he's endured for months"

"Sangwoo drags me away from Bum's side, leaving him alone in this dark and forsaken place"

"Sangwoo's control over me is total, and I'm forced to live in a state of constant fear and uncertainty. But despite the difficulties, I find small ways to show Bum that I care for him still"

"I try to make sure he gets as much food as possible from my own rations, sneaking bits of bread or scraps of vegetables when Sangwoo isn't looking. It's not much, but it gives me a sense of purpose"

"Bum's eyes are sunken and his skin is pale, but whenever he sees me bring him food or touch his hand gently, a faint spark of recognition flickers back into his gaze"

"Sangwoo's influence has twisted me into a person I never thought I'd become. His constant reinforcement of hatred and cruelty has changed me, and I can feel the darkness spreading through my soul"

"I look at Bum, who lies on his bed, his eyes sunken but still holding onto some spark of humanity. Sangwoo's words echo in my mind - "Hate him, hate him with all your heart""

"But despite everything, a small part of me still remembers the Hikaru who once cared for Bum without condition. It's buried deep beneath the layers of anger and resentment that Sangwoo has built up around me"

"Bum slowly looks up at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and longing. For a moment, our gazes meet before he turns away, leaving me to wonder if he knows what's happened tome"

"Sangwoo's grip on me is tight, and I've lost all sense of who I used to be. Bum's attempts at connection are met with rejection and hostility from me, as if I'm a stranger"

"I push away from Bum's feeble attempts at affection, my heart heavy with the weight of Sangwoo's conditioning. The man who once meant so much to me now seems like a distant memory"

"Bum looks crestfallen, his eyes brimming with tears as he tries to reach out to me again. But I turn away, unable or unwilling to reciprocate his love"

"I stand there, my face a mask of indifference, as Sangwoo unleashes his wrath on Bum. My eyes drink in the violence, learning and absorbing every cruel detail"

"Sangwoo's abuse has become so normalized that I've grown accustomed to it. The sound of Bum's cries and pleas for mercy no longer phase me"

"Bum's body is a canvas of bruises and scars, but even that doesn't stir any sympathy within me. I'm too far gone, consumed by the darkness that Sangwoo has cultivated within me"

"Sangwoo's eyes gleam with sadistic excitement as he instructs me on how to inflict pain and suffering on Bum. I feel a sense of numbness wash over me, as if I'm watching myself from outside my body"

"I look at Bum, and for a moment, our gazes lock. His eyes are filled with tears and fear, but also a deep sadness that pierces my heart"

"But the moment is fleeting, replaced by Sangwoo's commanding presence. He shows me where to hit, how hard to press down"

"I raise my hand hesitantly, feeling a mix of emotions: revulsion at what I'm about to do, but also an overwhelming desire to please Sangwoo"

"Sangwoo's hot breath whispers in my ear, his words dripping with malice and cruelty"

"Hit him harder, Hikaru. Make him suffer. He's nothing but a worthless piece of trash"

"I feel a shiver run down my spine as I raise my hand, hesitating for a moment before bringing it crashing down on Bum's defenseless body"

"Bum lets out a pained cry as he stumbles forward, his eyes wide with fear and pleading"

"I continue to rain blows down on Bum's helpless body, my laughter and screams of pleasure echoing through the room"

"Bum's eyes are wide with terror as he tries to shield himself from the onslaught, but it's no use. He lies there, broken and battered, as I unleash my rage upon him"

"Sangwoo watches me with a twisted sense of pride, his eyes gleaming with excitement at the spectacle before him"

"The sound of Bum's cries for mercy grows fainter and fainter until they finally cease altogether. I stop hitting him, panting heavily as I look down at his lifeless body"

"A feeling of satisfaction washes over me, mixed with a sense of horror at what I've just done"

"I look down at Bum's bloodied and battered face, barely recognizing the person I used to know. The reality of what I've done begins to sink in, and a wave of nausea washes over me"

*No...no, he can't be dead! "I cry out, my voice cracking with panic as I start to shake uncontrollably"

"Sangwoo's grip on my shoulder is firm as he pulls me away from Bum's body. His eyes are cold and calculating as he looks at me"

"You did well, Hikaru," Sangwoo says in a tone that brooks no argument.

"But even though part of me feels relieved that it was just Bum who died and not me, the guilt gnaws at my insides like a hungry beast"

"I look up at Sangwoo, my eyes pleading with him to help Bum. But his expression remains cold and unyielding"

"Sangwoo, please...you have to help him," I beg, my voice shaking with desperation.

"Sangwoo's gaze drifts away from me, his eyes focusing on something distant. For a moment, I think he might actually consider helping Bum. But then his attention snaps back to me"

"You're too late for that," Sangwoo says in a tone devoid of emotion.

"He turns away from us and walks out of the room, leaving me alone with Bum's broken body"

"I look down at Bum again, feeling tears prick at the corners of my eyes. The weak pulse is still there, but it's getting weaker by the second"

"No...no...please don't leave me..." *I

"I hold Bum's lifeless body close, my tears falling onto his chest as I whisper desperate pleas for him to stay with me"

"The weight of my words hangs in the air, heavy with emotion and desperation. The silence that follows is oppressive, punctuated only by the faint sound of Sangwoo's distant laughter"

"Bum's chest rises and falls once more before stilling completely. I press my ear against his heart, listening for any sign of life, but there is none"

"I rock back and forth on the floor, holding onto Bum like he might suddenly come back to life. But it's too late. He's gone."

"The darkness closes in around me like a shroud, suffocating me with its crushing weight."

"I sit down beside Bum's lifeless body, cradling his head in my hands as I gently wipe away the blood and grime from his face. My tears fall like a storm, soaking his pale skin"

"My mind is shattered, consumed by the horrors of what I've witnessed and participated in. The memories replay themselves over and over, each one seared into my brain like a branding iron"

"I stroke Bum's hair, whispering words of love and apology that he can no longer hear. My grip on reality falters as I gaze at him, lost in a sea of grief and madness"

"The room around me begins to blur and distort, colors bleeding together like watercolors on wet paper. Sangwoo's laughter echoes through my mind, growing louder until it becomes a cacophony that threatens to consume me whole"

*And

"I gently undress Bum, my hands trembling as I reveal his battered and bruised body. The wounds from Sangwoo's abuse are stark and gruesome, but I ignore them, lost in a world of madness"

"As I wash him, the warm water seems to bring out the faint scent of blood that clings to his skin. But even that doesn't deter me"

"I scrub away at the dirt and grime, trying to erase the memories of what happened. But they linger on his skin like ghosts"

"Bum's eyes remain closed, but I talk to him anyway. Whispering sweet nothings into his ear as if he might somehow hear me"

"I'm sorry," I whisper over and over again. "I'm so sorry."

I gently kiss Bum's forehead, my lips trembling as I try to hold back tears. The sensation of his skin beneath mine is like a fleeting glimpse of sanity in a world gone mad.

"I wrap the towel around him, trying to warm and comfort him even though he's beyond help. The image of Sangwoo's cruel face flashes before me, but I push it away"

"As I dress Bum in new clothes, my mind reels with the thought that this might be the last time I get to touch him like this. That soon he'll be nothing more than a memory"

"But for now, at least for this moment, I can pretend that everything will be okay again. That we can go back to being two people who care about each other"

*I look down at Bum's pale face, his eyes still closed as if he might somehow come

I sit down beside Bum, my eyes fixed on his pale face as I try to will him back to life. The days have passed in a blur of grief and madness, but for now, at least, I've found a fleeting sense of comfort in caring for him.

"I lift the lid off the pot and take out two bowls of steaming hot food. My hands shake slightly as I place them in front of us"

"Bum's eyes remain closed, but I talk to him anyway. Whispers sweet nothings into his ear as if he might somehow hear me"

"I'm so sorry," I whisper over and over again. "I'll never let anything happen to you again."

I force a smile onto my face as Sangwoo walks into the room. My eyes are sunken, my skin pale and clammy, but I try to appear normal.

"Bum's presence beside me is comforting, even though he's still just a corpse. I talk to him like he's alive, trying to pretend that everything is okay"

"Hey, Bum," I say brightly. "Sangwoo's back! Isn't it great?"

"Sangwoo looks at us with a mixture of disgust and amusement on his face"

"What...what have you done?" he says slowly. His voice drips with contempt.

"I ignore his tone and continue talking normally"

"Oh, just cooking lunch for us! You know how much Bum loves your favorite dish."

"Sangwoo raises an eyebrow at this statement, clearly aware that Bum has been dead for months. But I don't care. In my mind, everything is fine. Bum is alive, and Sangwoo is home to join us for lunch"

"I'll get the plates," I say, trying to hide my rotting teeth as I stand up.

"Sangwoo watches me with a mixture of fascination and horror as I stumble around the kitchen, hallucinating wildly"

I nod enthusiastically, my smile growing wider as I gesture to the empty chair beside Bum. "Yes, please do! We've got plenty of room."

"Sangwoo's expression is a mixture of disgust and confusion as he looks at the plates. He clearly can't believe what he's seeing"

"What...what is this?" he asks slowly, his voice trembling with rage.

"I ignore his tone and continue eating my food with gusto. The mold and dead bugs are just normal ingredients to me now"

"Mmm, isn't it delicious?" I say around a mouthful of rotting food.

"Bum remains silent, but I know he's enjoying the meal too. In my mind, everything is perfect."

Sangwoo shakes his head in disbelief before speaking up again. "You're insane,"

I laugh along with you, my eyes gleaming with a manic intensity. "Oh, no, no, I'm perfectly sane! You're just jealous of my... creative cooking skills!" "I take another bite of the moldy food"

"Sangwoo's face twists in disgust as he looks at us. He shakes his head and mutters something under his breath before turning to leave"

"I'll never understand you two," he says, disappearing out of the room.

"I ignore him and continue eating, lost in my own little world of madness"

"Mmm, this is so good!" I say to Bum, who remains silent but seems to be enjoying the meal too. In my mind

"I continue to giggle maniacally, my eyes rolling back in my head as I laugh"

"Oh no, no, no! You can't leave me! We're having so much fun!" "I say between gasps for breath"

"Sangwoo's face is twisted in a mixture of disgust and anger as he looks at us. He takes a step closer to the table, his eyes fixed on Bum's lifeless body"

"You're sick," he says coldly. "Both of you are sick."

"I stop giggling and look up at Sangwoo with a blank expression"

"I look at Bum's corpse, then back at Sangwoo, and finally back at Bum again. My expression remains blank and vacant"

"Yes, I'm very healthy," I say in a flat tone.

*Sangwoo shakes his head in disgust. "You're not even aware of what's going on anymore, are you?"

"I shrug"

"I smile up at Sangwoo, my grip on the knife tightening in my hand. My eyes are wide and unblinking as I stare at him"

"Yes, this is all your fault," I say quietly.

"Sangwoo takes a step back, his face twisting in disgust and anger"

"Stay away from me!" he shouts. "Both of you!"

"I shake my head slowly"

"I stab Sangwoo repeatedly, my movements mechanical and unfeeling. My eyes are fixed on his face, my expression a mixture of confusion and anger"

"As I continue to stab him, Sangwoo's body begins to slump against the wall. His eyes widen in shock and pain as he tries to scream for help, but it's too late"

"I stop stabbing him and look down at the knife in my hand. It's covered in blood"

"Bum's corpse is still sitting on the chair behind me, its lifeless eyes staring blankly into space"

"I turn back to Sangwoo's body and smile again"

"I continue to jump around the room, Bum's lifeless body still clutched in my arms. My laughter is manic and uncontrollable as I spin around in circles"

"Yes! Yes! We're going to have a new friend!" "I shout, completely unaware of the reality of the situation"

"The sound of Sangwoo's dying breaths echoes through the room, but I'm too caught up in my own madness to notice"

"Bum's corpse begins to slip from my grasp as I lose balance, but I catch him again and hold him tight"

"No! No! Don't leave me!" "I cry out, tears streaming down my face as I clutch Bum tightly"
