Work Text:
Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok is a wealthy man navigating the opulent halls of prestigious law offices and high-society events. With his charming appearance and stylish attire, he is regarded as a model of success. Yet, behind this beautiful facade lies a frozen heart and a trapped mind.
Since childhood, Jimmy has carried the burden of a medical error that left a deep mark on his soul. This mistake robbed him of the ability to feel basic human emotions, such as love and joy, as if he were programmed to remain silent in the face of anything related to feelings. His parents, living in a state of despair and continuous hope, tried every possible way to cure him, from visiting specialized doctors to undergoing unconventional treatments, but all their efforts were in vain.
These experiences shaped Jimmy into an emotionally numb person, harsh in his dealings. People see him as if he lives in a world of his own, where there is no room for emotion. Despite all the ambitions and professional projects he pursues, he remains just a man looking at the world through a closed window, unable to interact with those around him.
Loneliness is his constant companion, but he doesn’t know how to express it. He lives in a whirlwind of work and success, yet he quickly returns to his empty room at the end of the day, where the whispers of his thoughts echo loudly. He feels a profound sense of loss, as if he has lost something he has never truly known. Deep in his heart, however, there lies a buried desire for change, a flicker of hope that perhaps one day he could thaw the ice surrounding his heart.
Every day, Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok navigates the upscale law offices and bustling streets, while the whispers of those around him follow closely. Everyone casts glances toward his handsome face, which reflects an ideal image, yet conceals a frozen heart and a trapped mind.
Jimmy lives in a world where he seems like a machine that works tirelessly. He is considered emotionless and is often compared to robots that perform tasks without tiring or being affected. These opinions are not new to him; they have been his companions since childhood, haunting him in every corner of his life, as people talk about his inability to express himself or feel emotions.
Despite being a successful lawyer achieving significant accomplishments, his personal life is filled with failures. He has had hundreds of relationships with women, but they quickly end in disappointment. The story is always the same: women start with passion and interest, but soon feel his annoying coldness and rigidity, prompting them to drift away.
Jimmy, once regarded as a symbol of attraction, feels lonely in his isolation. Despite his charming appearance and strong reputation, he feels as though his heart is trapped in a cage. The women who have passed through his life vanish as quickly as they appeared, leaving behind painful memories and a deep wound within him.
As the days pass, doubts begin to consume him. Is it possible for him to become a person who feels, or is he doomed to live in this eternal darkness? He asks himself, “When will I be able to open my heart again?” Yet, the answer always fades into the mist, as if it is destined for him to live far from the light.
One day, Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok returned home earlier than usual. The sky was overcast, amplifying his sense of loneliness. He opened the door to his apartment and headed to his room, but as he approached his bed, he noticed something strange. A small body was wedged between the wall and the bed.
As Jimmy looked closer, he realized that the boy stuck there was a cleaning worker. He felt a spark of curiosity, although he didn’t know how to describe this feeling. He took quiet steps forward, ready to help the boy, who was pleading, “Help me, please!”
“Are you okay?” Jimmy asked softly, as if speaking to a machine in need of repair.
“I’m stuck here!” the boy replied anxiously, his eyes shining with hope. “I couldn’t get out.”
In a calm voice, Jimmy said, “Alright, I’ll help you.” He reached out his hand toward the boy and gently pulled him out. When the boy finally managed to free himself, he took a deep breath, as if life had returned to him.
“Thank you! I was so scared,” the boy said, clearly expressing his gratitude.
Jimmy looked at the boy but didn’t know how to feel. “No need to thank me. You were stuck.” He spoke in programmed phrases, as if he were talking to a robot. “That’s the purpose of my existence.”
“You’re not as cold as they say, are you?” the boy asked curiously.
Jimmy frowned slightly, but his voice remained calm. “I… am emotionless. I live my life like a machine, working and not feeling.” His words carried a sense of mystery, as if reflecting his emotional emptiness.
“But you weren’t like that with me,” the boy said, his eyes full of life. “You helped me. There’s humanity in you.”
“Humanity?” Jimmy repeated, as if the word was foreign to him. “What does that mean?”
“To feel something. To care,” the boy replied. “You might have an inner feeling, even if you think you can’t.”
Jimmy looked away, as if pondering his words. “I’m just doing my duty, and I don’t understand how to feel.”
“Maybe you should try,” the boy added hopefully. “There might be something wonderful inside you waiting to come out.”
With those words, Jimmy felt something unfamiliar creeping into his heart. He didn’t know if it was hope or fear, but he realized one thing: life could be more than just work and rigidity.
As Jimmy stood in front of the boy he had helped, he noticed that the boy began to speak hesitantly, as if trying to find the right words to introduce himself. Jimmy wasn’t used to such situations, but something in that moment made him feel that dialogue was necessary.
“I’m Sea, Sea Tawinan,” the boy said with a shy smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “I’m a cleaning worker here. I work by the hour to help my family.”
Jimmy looked at Sea thoughtfully but didn’t know how to respond. “You’re a cleaning worker,” he repeated, but his tone carried no expression.
“Yes, I work hard. But I love my job,” Sea said, as if trying to encourage Jimmy to engage. “I like seeing places clean and organized. It makes me feel like I’m contributing to something.”
“But why do you like that?” Jimmy asked, puzzled by Sea’s passion. “Isn’t it a routine job?”
“Everything can be beautiful if you look at it the right way,” Sea replied enthusiastically. “When I work, I feel like I’m leaving a mark, even if it’s small. Sometimes, the little details are the most important.”
Jimmy, who considered himself a programmed machine for completing tasks, began to feel something strange. “I’ve never thought of it that way,” he said, his voice still calm but carrying a hint of curiosity.
“What about you?” Sea asked, directing the conversation toward Jimmy. “Who are you? What do you do in your life?”
“I’m Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok, a lawyer,” Jimmy replied without enthusiasm, as if describing a cold profession. “I work on cases and achieve results.”
“But… what about your feelings?” Sea asked, trying to delve into Jimmy’s character. “Do you express yourself?”
“I don’t know how to do that,” Jimmy said, his gaze drifting away. “My feeling is not feeling. I can’t understand what it means.”
“Maybe you can learn how,” Sea said gently. “Everyone can discover themselves in different ways. And this moment could be the beginning.”
Jimmy, who hadn’t expected such a deep conversation, felt something unfamiliar. Sea’s words represented a new window into his dark world, and he realized that there might be hope in rediscovering his emotions.
As time passed, Jimmy began to feel something strange growing inside him. Sea, the little worker he had saved, had made an unexpected change in his life. Despite Jimmy’s coldness and lack of emotions, Sea’s presence in his home made him feel as though something was shifting.
A few days after their meeting, Jimmy decided to take a bold step. One day, he invited Sea to his office. Jimmy sat behind his desk, his serious demeanor intact, but inside he was thinking of the boy who had changed his life.
“Sea, I have an offer for you,” Jimmy said in a calm voice, though his tone carried a hint of seriousness.
“An offer?” Sea replied, his eyes widening with curiosity. “What do you mean?”
“I want you to work as my housekeeper full-time,” Jimmy said, as if placing a new task on Sea’s shoulders. “I need someone to help me organize the house and manage daily affairs.”
Sea was taken aback by Jimmy’s words and didn’t know how to respond. “But… I’m just a cleaning worker. Why do you want me to work here full-time?”
“Because I felt that you lessen my sense of loneliness,” Jimmy managed to say, as if the words were heavy on his lips. “I have a lot of work, but I also need someone to talk to.”
“Do you mean I’ll be here every day?” Sea asked, his emotions rising.
“Yes, if you’d like,” Jimmy replied quietly. “This means you have a chance to be more than just a cleaning worker.”
“I love to work, and I love to help!” Sea exclaimed excitedly, as if the new opportunity meant so much to him. “But I don’t want to be a burden.”
“You won’t be a burden; you’ll be a part of my life,” Jimmy assured him. “But I need you to understand that I’m not an emotional person.”
“That’s okay; I can handle that,” Sea replied with a smile, as if Jimmy’s challenge hadn’t weighed down his heart. “I’m just happy to be here.”
As the days went by, Jimmy began to feel something change within himself. Sea’s presence beside him was enough to bring some life to his isolation, as if the boy who had come from another world was the key to unlocking Jimmy’s frozen heart.
Jimmy and Sea’s daily lives continued in a regular rhythm. Every morning, Jimmy would leave his home for work, and when he returned, he found everything in place: a prepared meal, a clean house, and neatly arranged clothes. This routine infused the house with a sense of life, even if Jimmy himself did not feel it.
One evening, while Sea was busy cleaning the kitchen after dinner, he suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering coming from Jimmy’s room. Worried, he rushed inside to find Jimmy standing in the middle of the room, wiping blood from his hands with a blank expression. His gaze was devoid of any emotion, and he nearly stepped on the scattered shards of glass.
“Sir, stop! You’re going to hurt your feet!” Sea shouted as he hurried toward Jimmy, carefully grabbing his hands.
Jimmy looked at him in surprise, as if Sea’s question was unexpected. “Do you feel pain?” Sea asked, trying to comprehend what was happening.
“Pain?” Jimmy replied, his voice quiet, his eyes scrutinizing Sea’s face. “What do you mean by pain?”
“Pain is an unpleasant sensation that occurs when you’re injured,” Sea explained gently while inspecting Jimmy’s wound. “It’s a sign that your body needs attention. Let me clean your wound.”
As Sea tenderly cleaned the wound, he delved deeper into the meaning of pain. “Pain isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a part of our lives. It makes us feel alive. When we experience pain, we learn how to take care of ourselves and also learn about our emotions.”
Jimmy listened intently, but his mind was confused. “Can I learn how to feel?” he asked with curiosity, his voice tinged with a hint of frustration.
“Yes, you can,” Sea answered, looking into Jimmy’s eyes. “It takes time and patience. The more you understand your emotions, the better you’ll be able to understand yourself.”
“Does it hurt you too, when you feel something?” Jimmy asked, as if the thought was beginning to take shape in his mind.
“Yes, but pain can also be a beautiful thing,” Sea replied, smiling gently. “It tells us that we are alive and that we have the capacity to love and to lose.”
As Sea bandaged Jimmy’s wound, Jimmy felt something strange. It was as if the world around him began to open its doors little by little. He had an unexpected teacher, and despite his apparent coldness, his frozen heart was beginning to heal.
Jimmy and Sea’s lives unfolded in a daily routine, a familiar pattern that never changed: Jimmy would go to work in the morning and return to find that Sea had prepared everything—food, cleanliness, and neatly arranged clothes. Jimmy didn’t quite realize what had changed, but he found himself feeling calmer when he entered his home.
One evening, after they finished dinner together, Sea excitedly suggested that they watch a movie. They settled in the living room, where Sea chose a light-hearted comedy and sat close to Jimmy, watching the screen with enthusiasm.
As the movie played, the comedic scenes unfolded one after another, and soon Sea began laughing heartily. His laughter was pure and spontaneous, filling the room with a joy that was unfamiliar to Jimmy. Jimmy sat beside him, his face devoid of expression, curiously observing Sea as if he were studying his reactions.
After a moment, Sea stopped laughing and turned to Jimmy, noticing his curious gaze. He smiled and said, “Jimmy, do you know why I’m laughing?”
Jimmy raised an eyebrow slightly. “To be honest, I don’t understand. Why are you laughing like that?”
Sea smiled warmly, as if explaining a simple secret to Jimmy. “Laughter is an expression of happiness, Jimmy. When you laugh, you feel something beautiful in your heart. It’s a way to express joy.”
Jimmy looked at Sea in surprise. “Happiness? Is it like pain… just a feeling?”
Sea shook his head gently and replied, “Yes, but it’s the opposite of pain. Happiness is what we feel when something brings us joy. You can try laughing, Jimmy.”
Slowly, Jimmy raised his hand, as if attempting to replicate Sea’s smile on his face. But his expression remained stiff; nothing moved in his features. Sea noticed this and chuckled softly, then said with an encouraging smile, “It’s okay. Laughter comes naturally when you feel happy. You might need time to experience it.”
That night was different; it was the first time Sea spoke about happiness with Jimmy. As the days passed, Jimmy began to notice something new growing within him. He might not yet know how to laugh, but Sea’s presence in his life was slowly bringing him closer to feelings he had never known before.
One day, while they were having dinner together, Sea decided to ask his employer a simple question, perhaps to evoke a sense of human warmth that was missing from his life.
“Sir, what do you think of this dish?” Sea asked with a smile, his eyes curiously studying his employer’s face.
Jimmy paused for a few seconds, then looked at the plate in front of him and began to speak coldly. “The dish contains rice, some spices, and there’s a good balance between…”
Sea quickly interrupted, saying gently, “That’s not what I mean, sir. I don’t want to know the ingredients of the dish.” Sea looked at him insistently, as if he were opening a new door to understanding his feelings. “I mean… do you like this dish? Do you prefer it? Food sometimes carries memories and sensations. When you taste something you love, it can remind you of special moments.”
Jimmy contemplated Sea’s words as if they were strange to him. He hesitated and said, “I’ve never thought of food in that way before.”
Sea smiled gently and tried to explain further. “For example, when I eat this dish, I remember my mother. She would always make it for me on rainy days; the food was warm and the weather was cold… those were moments filled with happiness for me.”
Jimmy fell silent, as if he were trying to grasp the idea that food could carry emotions and memories. For a moment, he felt emptiness, as if life had been hiding a simple yet profound meaning from him.
Sea said softly, “Sir, food isn’t just ingredients cooked together. Sometimes, it’s a meal laden with emotion, love, and beautiful memories.” He continued with a warm smile, “Try to think of your food not just as something to eat, but as a way to remember the past or even to create new memories.”
Jimmy sat before his plate for a moment, trying to reflect on the words Sea had said. He didn’t yet know what food or memories meant, but there was a feeling that something small—a thought or a feeling—was beginning to change within him, step by step, as if Sea was helping him rediscover his lost humanity in simple, new ways.
A few days had passed since Jimmy received the news of his grandmother’s death. She had been the only person who had cared for him since childhood, yet he couldn’t express his sorrow. It felt as if his emotions were trapped, unable to escape in any form. Unconsciously, his health began to decline, and he developed a high fever.
When Sea discovered his condition, he felt a mix of concern and confusion. He did everything he could to care for Jimmy and reduce his fever, but he saw an unsettling emptiness in his eyes, as if Jimmy was not even aware of what he was suffering.
One moment, while Sea was sitting beside Jimmy, wiping his forehead with a damp cloth, he could no longer contain himself. Tears began to flow uncontrollably from his eyes. His heart ached, not just for Jimmy but also for the helplessness he felt in the face of his silent grief.
Jimmy noticed the tears streaming down Sea’s face. He struggled to sit up and took Sea’s hands in his own, then asked softly, without fully understanding what he saw, “Sea, why are you crying? Are you in pain?”
Jimmy looked at Sea with an expressionless face, as if trying to comprehend what was happening. He held Sea’s hand carefully and began to inspect his body as if searching for a wound or trace of blood. “You’re not bleeding, Sea, so why does something hurt you?”
Sea didn’t have the words to explain, but his heart felt the need to convey something deeper than mere words. Without hesitation, he embraced Jimmy, holding him tightly, as if trying to provide warmth to alleviate some of his pent-up pain. Jimmy remained silent in Sea’s embrace, but he felt something different. The warmth of Sea’s body filled the emptiness within him, as if a touch of safety began to flow through his veins.
In that moment, Jimmy couldn’t cry, nor could he express his sadness. But Sea’s embrace and his silent tears were enough to make him feel something new.
After Jimmy and his team succeeded in winning a difficult and complex case, they threw a celebration in honor of this victory, with Jimmy being the undeniable star; it was his exceptional performance that led to their triumph. Amid the crowd and the sounds of congratulations, Jimmy stood with a calm expression that revealed no feelings, as was his usual demeanor.
While he listened to the praise around him, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and saw Sea’s name. He pulled the phone from his pocket and answered.
“Yes, Sea?” Jimmy said in a calm tone.
Sea’s voice came through the other end, filled with joy and enthusiasm: “Sir, today there’s a celebration in your honor. This is your day, and you should be happy and smile, just like you did during the practice sessions. Remember, smile!”
Jimmy paused for a moment, contemplating Sea’s words. It felt strange to him, how one could “choose” to be happy or decide to smile. Yet, for some reason he didn’t understand, he wanted to give it a try. He wanted to see if he could be part of this joy that everyone around him seemed to feel.
He raised his head toward the crowd, trying to summon the smile Sea had advised him to wear. It was hesitant at first, but he felt something unusual when he found himself actually trying. Some people around him noticed his slight smile, and the atmosphere quickly became warmer and more cheerful.
In that moment, Sea’s simple words were more than just advice. They were an invitation to experience something new, a small step into a world filled with emotions Jimmy had never encountered before.
One night, as Sea was cleaning the dining table after dinner, he noticed that Jimmy seemed quieter than usual, his features slightly pale. However, Jimmy didn’t say anything and continued to act as if everything was fine.
While Sea was arranging the dishes, he unintentionally touched Jimmy’s face. He felt an unusual warmth radiating from his forehead. Sea froze in place and said with concern, “Sir… you’re sick!”
Jimmy tried to pretend to be calm and replied in a cold voice, “I’m fine, just tired.”
But Sea wasn’t convinced. He sat next to him and said firmly and with concern, “Sir, you shouldn’t bear your illness alone. When you feel any pain or fatigue, you need to tell me. I’m here to help you.”
Jimmy looked at Sea and saw genuine worry in his eyes that he wasn’t used to. This feeling was new to him; having someone who truly cared about him and looked after his health. He felt a warm sensation in his chest, as if he was starting to understand more about the value of partnership and support.
In a low, quiet voice, Jimmy said, “I’m not used to sharing how I feel… but I’ll try.”
Sea smiled reassuringly and said, “That’s all I want. For you to know that you’re not alone anymore, and I’m here for you.”
One day, while Sea observed the coldness surrounding Jimmy, he decided to give him a different piece of advice. With an encouraging smile, he said, “Sir, why don’t you try watching Korean dramas? There, people express their feelings clearly, showing love, longing, and joy easily. Maybe you can learn some of that from them.” He added jokingly, “When I get back from my vacation, I’ll test you to see if you’ve learned anything!”
Sea laughed as Jimmy nodded silently, as if taking the suggestion more seriously than Sea had expected.
After Sea left for his vacation, he left Jimmy alone with a list of Korean dramas he had recommended. Jimmy didn’t fully understand why he decided to take Sea’s advice, but something inside him compelled him to watch those dramas, perhaps because he began to feel a void when Sea was away.
When Sea returned after a few weeks, he decided to visit Jimmy as usual. He opened the door and entered, but he was surprised by a scene he had never anticipated. Jimmy, who had never shown clear emotions before, suddenly stepped forward and hugged him warmly.
Sea froze for a moment before saying in shock, “Sir… what are you doing?”
Jimmy replied, trying to replicate what he had learned from the dramas, in a calm voice, “This is what people do when they miss someone… and I missed you, Sea.”
Sea remained in Jimmy’s embrace, unable to believe what he was hearing. He felt a new warmth in his heart, and tears filled his eyes without him realizing. He hadn’t expected that his simple advice would lead to such a tender change in Jimmy’s life, as if, with a touch of those dramas, he began to discover a new path toward understanding his feelings, the meaning of longing, and perhaps… love.
Days passed since Sea returned from his vacation, and the moment jimmy had hugged him marked a new beginning. Thanks to Sea’s advice and his watching of dramas, jimmy was discovering more about himself and how to express his feelings, even though it still felt strange to him. He was slowly trying to learn new words for expression and different experiences to describe his emotions.
One day, while they were having dinner together, Sea decided to ask jimmy how he felt after all those changes.
“Sir, tell me, how do you feel now?”
Jimmy looked at him with a slight smile and replied, “I feel… warmth. Not like my body is hot, but it’s as if I’m finally living next to you in a way I never understood before.”
Sea continued to gaze at him thoughtfully, his heart swelling with pride for jimmy. He could see the effort jimmy was putting into his transformation, the small attempts that meant so much. He was genuinely proud of the man who once seemed like a machine devoid of emotions and who had now learned how to express what he felt, how to articulate his emotions, and how to convey his longing and affection for someone he loved.
Sea smiled and said softly, “I’m proud of you, Sir. Proud of every step you’ve taken and every new word you’re learning to say. You’re no longer alone, and you never have to stay that way again.”
Jimmy felt those words fill his heart with comfort, as if they were a confirmation of the journey he had begun alongside Sea
Sea decided to try something different with Jimmy, to test his ability to express his feelings and encourage him to explore his emotional world more deeply. He arranged a “blind date” with a nice woman he knew and successfully convinced Jimmy that he was interested in her.
After the meeting, while they were on their way back, Sea began discussing the nature of love with Jimmy, trying to simplify the concept for him in the clearest way possible. “Sir, when we love someone, we want to be close to them all the time. We want to touch them, hug them, and even kiss them… sometimes we want to share deeper details, like being intimate.”
Jimmy nodded slowly, trying to grasp Sea’s words, before responding with a sincere question: “Does that mean… I should tell her that I love her?”
Sea smiled and nodded confidently, “Absolutely, don’t hesitate to confess your love to her if you feel it.”
But despite Sea’s words, Jimmy felt something strange stirring within him. He wasn’t sure what love truly meant or whether that woman was the one he wanted to be with. As he drifted into his thoughts, he realized that what he really wanted wasn’t just to confess to the woman, but to understand his own feelings, and perhaps those feelings belonged to someone closer—someone who had cared for him and taught him how to understand the meaning of love.
Days went by, and Jimmy started dating the woman Sea had suggested, but she didn’t occupy his thoughts as he had expected. One evening, while strolling through the city, he spotted Sea with a strange man. They were talking and laughing together, and Jimmy felt a painful sensation creeping into his heart. An uncomfortable feeling, as if something was breaking inside him.
Deciding to withdraw from the evening, Jimmy told the woman he was leaving. But before he could go, the woman slapped his face in anger. It was a painful slap, but the pain he felt was not physical.
When Sea saw the scene, he quickly approached Jimmy, concern etched on his face: “Sir, are you okay?”
Jimmy replied with a shaky voice, “No, I feel pain.”
Sea, growing more worried, asked, “Where did she slap you? That foolish woman!”
But Jimmy placed his hand over his heart, closing his eyes slightly, and said sincerely, “Here… I feel the pain here because that man is close to you.”
The words struck Sea like a shock, as if Jimmy had suddenly opened his heart and revealed what he truly felt. In that moment, Sea understood that Jimmy wasn’t hurting because of the slap, but because he was jealous. Jimmy was now aware of the depth of his feelings for Sea and the impact of their relationship on his heart.
Sea stepped closer to Jimmy, saddened by his pain, his eyes filled with concern. “Jimmy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel this pain.”
Jimmy spoke in a calm tone, but he was honest about his feelings, “I thought I loved her, but I realize that what I feel for you is so much deeper.”
Time seemed to freeze for a
moment as Sea listened to Jimmy’s words. But soon, the sincere expression on Jimmy’s face faded, replaced by a mix of conflicting emotions.
Sea looked directly into Jimmy’s eyes, trying to organize his thoughts before speaking. “Sir… I want you to know something.”
Jimmy froze in place, fearful of what Sea might say. “What do you mean?”
“I… don’t love you the way you think I do. Sometimes, feelings can get intertwined, especially when we spend so much time together. But what I feel for you is different. You mean a lot to me, but I don’t want you to confuse love with friendship.”
Jimmy felt a deep shock. He hadn’t expected this response. “But… I’ve been closer to you than anyone else. Why can’t that be love?”
Sea sighed, aware that this moment was very delicate. “Because we are friends, Sir. Our friendship is what makes us special. And if things get mixed up, we might lose that. I want you to be happy, and if there’s someone else who makes your heart race, you should pursue that.”
Jimmy contemplated Sea’s words, feeling a twinge of sadness mixed with disappointment. He realized that his feelings were not just a passing desire but a result of their continuous closeness. Yet, he felt that what connected them was stronger than mere friendship.
“I understand what you’re saying, but I… can’t deny what I feel. Even if it’s not love, there’s something powerful between us.”
Sea smiled gently, encouraging Jimmy to explore his feelings. “Yes, but we need to be honest with ourselves. Let’s explore those feelings without letting them jeopardize our friendship.”
After that night, Sea began to set clear boundaries with Jimmy, trying to protect their friendship from feelings that could be harmful to both of them. The boundaries he drew were explicit, but they also meant that the nature of their relationship would change.
Jimmy felt a great emptiness in his life. He missed the times he had spent with Sea, but now, every word exchanged carried additional weight. As the days went by, feelings of frustration began to build up inside him.
One day, while they were sitting together at home, Jimmy tried to bring up a topic unrelated to the boundaries, but Sea seemed hesitant. “Why can’t we just be like we were before?” Jimmy asked, his voice laced with suppressed anger.
Sea replied calmly, “Because we need to maintain our space, Sir. I want to avoid any misunderstandings.”
Jimmy’s emotions became even more tangled, and his thoughts began to explode. “Do you mean you’d prefer me to stay away? Is that what you want?”
When Sea saw Jimmy getting more agitated, he tried to calm him down, but it was too late. “No, that’s not what I mean, but—”
But Jimmy couldn’t take it anymore. “If you want to draw boundaries between us, then I think it’s best you just leave! I don’t want to be in a constrained relationship! Just go!”
Jimmy’s words hit Sea like arrows, piercing his heart. He fell silent in that moment, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Sir, no…”
But Jimmy cut him off, pointing to the door. “Go. If this is how you want us to live, then there’s no need for you to be here!”
Sea slowly left the house, feeling as though his heart was breaking. He hadn’t expected things to end this way. As the door closed behind him, with every step he took away, Jimmy felt that the emptiness Sea left in his life was deeper than he had imagined.
After Sea’s departure, Jimmy returned to his previous state, becoming colder and more rigid than ever before. It was as if he had made up his mind to surround himself with insulating walls that prevented any feelings or emotions from reaching him. He no longer cared about anyone and buried himself in work more than ever.
His days passed tasteless and meaningless. He skipped meals and spent long hours at the office, reviewing files and working on cases late into the night. It seemed that work was his only refuge, a way to escape the pain of his broken heart.
In meetings, Jimmy spoke in a formal, stiff tone, unaware that he was pushing his colleagues further away. No one dared to approach him anymore; he had become like a machine working tirelessly.
On his lonely nights, when he returned home, he would remember every moment with Sea. How his laughter reflected overwhelming happiness and how he expressed his feelings openly. But now, he had no one.
He wandered through his dark home, as if silence surrounded him from all sides. He no longer cared about cleaning or organizing things; the mess mirrored the state of his heart, but he no longer felt it.
One day, while he was at the office, a colleague tried to talk to him. “Jimmy, are you okay? We haven’t seen you eat in days.”
Jimmy replied coldly, “I’m busy; I don’t need food.”
But inside, there was a scream of suffering. He knew he needed help, but he was afraid to let anyone into his world, fearing that he would once again feel those emotions he was trying to escape.
As time passed, Jimmy realized that loneliness was not a choice but a prison surrounding him, and his broken heart needed healing. But how could he heal from something he didn’t know how to express?
On an ordinary day, as Sea flipped through his notebook, he remembered his favorite book that he had forgotten at Jimmy’s house. The book held beautiful memories of the moments they had spent together, so he decided to go back and retrieve it. Although he felt hesitant, his curiosity about Jimmy’s dark state was stronger.
When he arrived at Jimmy’s house and knocked on the door, anxiety surged in his chest. But as soon as the door opened, he was shocked by what he saw. Jimmy was sitting on the floor, his features pale and his eyes filled with tears. He was in a pitiful state, as if he had given up on everything.
“Sir!” Sea shouted, rushing toward him. “What happened to you?”
When Jimmy saw Sea, his emotions erupted without warning. Tears streamed down his face as if all the barriers he had built had crumbled in an instant. “I missed you, Sea… I feel pain here…” He pointed to his heart, “It’s like my heart is bleeding. Why did you abandon me?!”
Sea froze in place, affected by seeing Jimmy in this condition. “Sir, I… I didn’t mean to make you feel this way.”
“I hate… the pain in my heart!” Jimmy said, his voice filled with anguish. “Leave now sea!”
But before Sea could respond, Jimmy collapsed, causing Sea to panic. He rushed to him, trying to help.
“Sir, wake up! Please!” he shouted, attempting to revive him. “I’m here; I won’t leave you alone again!”
In that moment, Sea realized he couldn’t distance himself from Jimmy. His feelings for him were deeper than he had imagined, and his presence in Jimmy’s life was a necessity, not just a luxury.
Quickly, Sea called for an ambulance and began talking to Jimmy, gently repeating his name, trying to bring him back to consciousness. “Sir, open your eyes; I’m here. We’ll get through this together.”
As time passed, the tears began to fade, and Jimmy slowly opened his eyes. “Sea… I’m hurting here…” he whispered weakly as the pain in his heart began to shift into something entirely different.
“sir , just relax. I’m here for you; I won’t leave you.” Sea said, feeling something change within them, as if they were reclaiming what they had lost together.
sea began to care deeply for jimmy , spending his days caring for him and taking care of his health. Having Si by his side became a source of great happiness for jimmy, who began to feel something new blossoming in his heart.
Today Jimmy mustered his courage again.
“sea, I love you.” Jimmy said sincerely, his eyes gazing at sea’s face with longing. “I feel happy when I see you, but when you’re away, I feel pain.”
sea smiled, overwhelmed with joy at hearing jimmy’s confession. “I love you too, sir.”
jimmy hesitated for a second, then added cautiously, “Then will you allow me to kiss you?”
“Sir, you must kiss me without asking. No one asks before kissing.” Sea replied, smiling shyly.
jimmy felt something inside him pushing him forward. This was the moment he had been waiting for, the moment to be free from the constraints of his feelings.
jimmy approached sea, and without hesitation, he gently placed his hand on his face. “I want you to know how much I miss you when you’re away.”
Then, he closed his eyes and prepared to kiss sea tenderly, as if this moment was everything to him. His kiss was full of passion and emotion, he was sucking and biting the boy's full lips, sucking his nectar and swallowing his tongue forcefully, expressing all the longing and love he had been storing in his heart all along.
When Jimmy pulled away a little, he looked into sea’s eyes, his lips swollen from Jimmy's fierce kiss. "Sorry, I didn't know I would be this strong."
That's good, sir." Sea said with a wide smile. "The most important thing is that you started expressing your feelings. That means you're living, and that's what matters."
jimmy felt something new bloom in his heart, and he realized that sea was the reason behind all this. "I won't let anything separate us anymore. And don't call me sir anymore," Jimmy said, and returned to kissing the boy in front of him passionately.
So will you let me have sex with you? Jimmy said as he climbed on top of Sea
Sea covered his face shyly
What is this question? Do you ask permission in this situation?
Why are you blushing? Are you sick?
It's shyness, Jimmy, not sick.
After spending the night together, their hearts overwhelmed with emotion, Jimmy and Sea lay side by side, hands entwined, sharing soft smiles. Sea looked at Jimmy and whispered, “I feel like the happiest person in the world because you’re here with me.”
Jimmy gently held Sea’s hand, kissed it tenderly, and replied in a quiet, love-filled voice, “As long as you’re with me, I’ll always be happy. I’ll never let you go.”
Sea smiled, deeply touched, feeling the warmth of love fill his heart. And as the first light of dawn broke, they both realized that true love was what bound them together and that they would face every challenge side by side, hand in hand, heart to heart.
And so, Jimmy and Sea lived together happily, vowing to always be each other’s support and strength, no matter the circumstances.
