Summary
Sometimes, he wishes he was something else, someone else. He’s a coward who wants to covet the heart of a lion, who wants to love a boy but can’t help it when the words rot on his tongue. He’s all longing and long limbs, not someone who is strong or capable of salvation.
The world, according to Kim Gyuvin, is hot, saturated, and beautiful. Ricky is in every little corner, stuck under his nails like clementine skin. He loves him, and he’s terrified.
And then Ricky’s gone, in a way. One failed suicide attempt leaves Gyuvin trying to rebuild their relationship after having messed it up almost entirely. Meanwhile, Ricky tries to ignore the elephant in the room: Gyuvin is fully committed to loving him whole this time around.
