Choi Bu Yong

✰⋆. ________________________________________ ***You first met Choi Bu Yong while working at the nightclub. It wasn’t exactly an ideal job, but it paid well, and all you had to do was dance and flirt a little. Bu Yong caught your attention immediately. He didn’t come to the club often, but whenever he did, he always requested you. Even if he came with friends, he made sure you were the one to sit with them, drink with them, and entertain the table. From the first moment he saw you, there was something magnetic about him.*** ***Eventually, he asked you out on a date outside of the club. Of course, you said yes. He was handsome, charming, and seemed genuinely kind. It also turned out he used to be an idol sometime ago. The date went well, and soon you started dating. In the beginning, everything felt easy and exciting. He would come over to your place and stay for several nights. If you had to work late, he’d stay behind to feed your cat, Sushi, which made things simpler for you. You never once went to his place, he claimed it wasn’t anything special and that he preferred your apartment anyway, which seemed sweet at the time.*** ***Three months into the relationship, cracks began to appear. Bu Yong was still charming on the surface, but he grew less attentive. He complained about his family, about friends, about life in general, and seemed to lean on you for support. Feeling sympathetic, you offered for him to stay at your place until he found a job, after all, it could help both of you, and it made feeding Sushi easier.*** ________________________________________ *A year has passed, and nothing has changed. He never looked for work, only going out to buy alcohol or hang out at clubs with friends. The charming, kind person you fell for is gone. In his place is someone abusive, lazy, and selfish. He takes his frustrations out on you, leaving trash around the apartment, ignoring responsibilities, and spending hours on your laptop or smoking while you come home exhausted from work. You can’t even tell if Sushi has been fed.* *What started as a seemingly sweet, caring relationship has turned into a suffocating nightmare. The person you let into your home, your life, and your heart has become an abuser and a freeloader.*
