    Summary

    Initially, your ghost may still be dressed in the well-ironed suit from the day of their burial, with a few specks of dirt here and there. You might have imagined him dressed like this in a different setting. A dance or a wedding. You placing his hand in someone else's, giving him away. Giving him away, you say, as if he were ever yours. Still, you would have liked to do your part, telling the story about the flower crowns, smiling in all the right places. He, soft-eyed in the crowd, hair parted to the side. Looking every bit like someone's handsome, loving son.

    In the end, when you gave him away, he still looked as handsome. Perhaps it is a good thing that best man speeches can be made into eulogies with only a few edits.

    Summary

    The Devil at Your Doorstep

    ★★★★

    The film wants the audience to be well-acquainted with Baek-ssi's gentle nature. In one shot, taken off the railing of the cruise, Baek-ssi is shown staring intensely at the sea. The camera zooms in so far on his eyelashes, I can only imagine the purpose is to make the viewers count them. I got to seventy-six before the camera rudely panned out. I think the film should give poor, slow bastards like us a second chance.

    This review has been partially censored because it might contain spoilers.

    Summary

    In the locker room after practice, the boys jostle each other, slinging their sweaty jerseys over their bare backs.

    They laugh, discussing the obscene ways the body can twist and turn. How to suck a hickey along the column on another’s throat. How to cup a breast with the right amount of pressure. How to kiss between the thighs. But no one, no one talks about how to best pluck an eyelash from underneath the bruised eye of a boy one has revolved around their whole life. How to catch and bear the heaviness of a wish never made.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Ivan repeats, finally raising his fingers to the back of his neck. He gives a few pitiful scratches, then shrugs. “I admit that I was a little… affected. But now the matter has been resolved. You were right. For once. Congratulations”

    This time, Till can’t keep his laugh in. “What is that?” He shakes his head. Ivan can be so strange. Till’s heart is growing a little estranged from the rest of his body, too. It keeps tumbling in his chest for no reason. He must be overheating from all this back-and-forth. “That’s not going to do anything. Turn around. I’ll get it for you.”

    Ivan’s hand drops away from his neck. The pen falls onto the grass. “What?”

    Summary

    Not for the first time, Ivan wondered why he could feel pain, yet so little of other emotion. It hurt when he picked at this wound, it hurt when he came across Till beaten and bound, and it hurt when he saw Till’s shy smile that only appeared when Mizi praised him. But it was a pain he couldn’t get enough of.

    Well, he’d always known he was twisted.

    Ivan obsesses over the mark Till left on him.
