January 31, 2024 -
Tae’s final deployment details are released! Remember, Tae applied for SDT and placement is random, with soldiers being assigned to the Ministry of National Defense, Army headquarters, or each division, once the additional three weeks of SDT training are completed. SDT is distributed to not just Seoul, but also each region.
Starting on February 8, 2024, Tae will serve at the 2nd Army Corps of Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. Alternately known as the “Double Dragons,” or “Rok II Corps” or “Ssangyong Unit,” it’s a unit responsible for guarding the challenging military demarcation line. There is a Military Police unit under the direct control of the ROK II Corps, and this includes a Special Duty Team, as well as general military police. This location, nicknamed twin dragons(쌍용), is nestled between twin peaks and is tasked with protecting the Mid-East front, which is one of the roads connecting to Seoul, such as Hwacheon Chuncheon and Yanggu.
I’m not versed in Korean geography and military camps, but a few pages noted that this location is notoriously brutal and difficult to access due to rough mountainous terrain, which is why the unit Tae is assigned to is small. According to these pages, the unit faces tough conditions, including iron fences along the north facing side, numerous stairways for guard duty that are coupled with heavy gears and arms, and there have been reported ankle and knee issues among soldiers deployed here, making it a challenging and less desirable posting. The 2nd Corps, the unit Tae is assigned to, is part of the Ground Operations Command, and has an offensive force tasked with engaging the enemy and protecting the Military Demarcation Line.
Positive notations are that the facilities and food are good, and there is easily accessible transportation since many units are stationed here and the camp is located by Chuncheon City.
The below information says Wooga member and friend Hyungsik also served at this location. However, a friend researched and noted that Hyungsik was in the military police department of the Capital Defense Command as an active duty soldier, which is in Seoul, Seodaemun District (so special forces like Tae but a different posting). Please disregard the small blip from the below SS that says it’s the same unit as Tae’s. They’re in two separate units.

Kthxbye
When lurking, you do and you actually should try to have at least an overview of the dialogue dynamics in the different camps of the fandom.
A quick walkthrough of how it shows on an outsider's screen:
Something: happens.
The Shire: who? where? when? why? does it match with what we know? does it make sense? what do you think? aren't we writing the script? will they double down on the narrative? what do you think? is that enough to put it to rest? does it click 100%? who found it? who sent it? who said what? what do you think? is it a good thing? a bad thing? a meh thing? what do you think? did that happen before? you want to go to DMs with that one? what do you think? is it the right time to talk about that? we haven't spoken enough about that, have we? I've just noticed something, what do you think? what do we think?
Mordor: oh God, they are stupid. Nothing there. She said nothing. Who is that one, posting there? What does she want? There is nothing there. God, they are stupid. I've never spoken to that one, but she's a nutcase. Fact. Nothing happened. God, they are stupid. I have it in good faith based on a twitter post from Jakarta with no pics. Yeah, "with family". God, they are stupid. And who is this one? Oh, I know her commas, just took another handle. God, they are stupid. There is nothing there. Nothing happened. I have just called Wakanda Bay Resort, he checked in yesterday. How do shippers mean, resorts don't give these details on the phone? They are stupid. There is this Tick Tock reel by somebody from Oaxaca, they were at the market, no, the person didn't know who he was, but let me post it here. I've chopped it into frames, then watermarked. All rights reserved: it's mine. But can't you see how they can't even stand each other anymore? They have nothing. I've just sent myself an Anon in German, that should be enough facts. Oh, God they are stupid. I am just going to ignore that critical detail, it's not even there, shippers are very sick people. If I just told you so, then this is the truth. I mean, he followed her on Insta, and then unfollowed. Must be love. Must have been love, yeah. But it's over, now. And I don't even watch that shitty show anymore. It's dead. OL is dead. God, they are stupid.
... and so on, and so forth, until the next something happens.
The Shire is what it is, but it is a place of debate. Questions are asked, stones are turned, answers slowly, organically emerge. It can sometimes be a place of suspicion, but how could that be otherwise? After all, this is also the side which has been the most bruised and battered by the narrative itself. One can not and should not expect credulity, here. But kindness, yes. Always.
In Mordor, I have never seen anything else than false premises, a narrative revered North Korean style and little to no questioning, let alone original content.
And then they wonder why people still come here from the outside and stick to this camp. Yeah.

How has North Korea survived as long as it has? Shouldn’t there have been a massive uprising at this point?
A couple of reasons.
For one, the extreme repression that North Korea keeps the majority of the North Korean population under makes it very difficult to organize a rebellion. Peasants that are starving are usually too worried about trying to find food for the day to rebel - they simply don't have the time to organize, plan, and train to overthrow their tyrant. Much of the starvation and stagnancy of North Korea is not due to US bombing of North Korea as DPRK apologists and tankies claim, but is a result of their autarkic policy aims to keep the people from overthrowing them.
For two, the North Korean regime's use of dynastic punishment puts a level of deterrence that is not common in most societies. There are plenty of rebels and revolutionaries who are willing to risk their own lives, but fewer people are willing to risk it if they know that their children will pay the price, and their children will after them. In plenty of ways, people of all stripes want to work to improve the lot of their children. Dynastic punishment, sending your children away to a prison camp for them to break their backs and bring up their own children in squalor makes a potent disincentive.
For three, a highly pervasive police state. The North Korean regime invests extensively in policing both overt and secret. It's difficult to even attempt to reach out to organize a rebellion if you don't know who you can trust.
For four, propaganda. North Korea extensively indoctrinates its people into its philosophy of Juche, a highly nationalistic, Stalinist ideology stressing obedience and hierarchy. With restricted access to information, the ideology of North Korea is often the only context by which they are able to parse the world. This ideology stresses the Kim family in a cult of personality as a sort of benign father, and overthrowing the family of the nation is anathema.
Thanks for the question, Anon.

Rare footage obtained by BBC Korean shows North Korea publicly sentencing two teenage boys to 12 years of hard labour for watching K-dramas.
The footage, which appears to have been filmed in 2022, shows two 16-year-old boys handcuffed in front of hundreds of students at an outdoor stadium.
It also shows uniformed officers reprimanding the boys for not "deeply reflecting on their mistakes".
South Korean entertainment, including TV, is banned in the North.
Despite that, some are prepared to risk severe punishment to access K-dramas, which have a huge global audience.
Footage such as this is rare, because North Korea forbids photos, videos and other evidence of life in the country from being leaked to the outside world.
This video was provided to the BBC by the South and North Development (Sand), a research institute that works with defectors from the North.
It suggests authorities are coming down harder on such incidents. The clip has reportedly been distributed in North Korea for ideology education and to warn citizens not to watch "decadent recordings".
The video includes a narrator who is repeating state propaganda. "The rotten puppet regime's culture has spread even to teenagers," says the voice, in an apparent reference to South Korea. "They are just 16 years old, but they ruined their own future," it adds.
The boys were also named by officers and had their addresses revealed.
In the past, minors who broke the law in this way would be sent to youth labour camps rather than put behind bars, and the punishment was usually less than five years.
North Koreans tell of neighbours starving to death
A family's escape from North Korea through a minefield and stormy seas
In 2020, however, Pyongyang enacted a law to make watching or distributing South Korean entertainment punishable by death.
A defector previously told the BBC that he was forced to watch a 22-year-old man shot to death. He said the man was accused of listening to South Korean music and had shared films from the South with his friend.
Sand CEO Choi Kyong-hui said Pyongyang sees the spread of K-dramas and K-pop as a danger to its ideology.
"Admiration for South Korean society can soon lead to a weakening of the system... This goes against the monolithic ideology that makes North Koreans revere the Kim family," she said.
North Koreans started getting a taste of South Korean entertainment in the 2000s, during the years of the South's "sunshine policy" which saw it offering unconditional economic and humanitarian aid to the North.
Seoul ended the policy in 2010, saying it found the aid did not reach the ordinary North Koreans it was intended for, and that it had not resulted in any "positive changes" to Pyongyang's behaviour.
But South Korean entertainment continued to reach North Korea through China.
"If you get caught watching an American drama, you can get away with a bribe, but if you watch a Korean drama, you get shot," a North Korean defector told BBC Korean on Thursday.
"For North Korean people, Korean dramas are a 'drug' that helps them forget their difficult reality," the defector said.
"In North Korea, we learn that South Korea lives much worse than us, but when you watch South Korean dramas, it's a completely different world. It seems like the North Korean authorities are wary of that," said another North Korean defector in her 20s.

hi im trying to learn more abt north korean refugees from the korean war or more generally conditions in north korea during the war and its been like...rly challenging to find resources since the search engines will conflate them with defectors and what resources i do find tend to be "there were north koreans refugees. there were alot...a lot of them died...some did not" and not about why they fled or what was happening in north kroea at the time. i can make inferences from what i do know, but i was wondering if you had any resources or recommendations on where i could look since ive found ur dprk resources super informative & helpful in the past!
hello!
during the war, there was not yet a concept of a korean person being from the north or the south and that's probably a reason why you can't find specific resources if you're searching in that direction. generally, refugees fled to manchuria, china, russia, and japan. they tried to farm in these regions, tried to become educated and learn skills and crafts, and/or were part of anticolonial organizing efforts. the migrations to these areas began much before the war and there were sizable korean populations in these regions as early as the late 1800s and the 1910s.
a notable example is find very interesting is that there were enough communist koreans in russia and climbing the political ranks of the government at the beginning of the 20th century that in 1937, stalin had every korean person rounded up and sent to central asia (kazakhstan, uzbekistan, etc) under suspicion of them being japanese spies. which i personally think inspired the US to create japanese internment camps.
my understanding is that the borders to manchuria and china were not heavily enforced before the war and military occupation of the area so it was very common for people in the northern areas of the korean peninsula to travel back and forth for trade and live across the border for agricultural conditions.
for wartime conditions in the region, the northern half of the peninsula was bombed more severely than the southern half and the southernmost tip of the land is the only area where the trees on mountains are the original ones and not newly planted after the war (usually by the park chunghee administration). agriculture is more difficult in the north because of the terrain and the majority of the flat and fertile farming soil is in the jeolla province so the north was more likely to develop communist style industry, so the U.S. focused on flattening any man made infrastructure in the area. many people fled across borders and many people hid in caves in the mountains because the peninsula is very mountainous with many caves. for resources, i don't have anything more specific than what's already in my dprk tag! check the dprk study guide for further reading.
overall, many people fled korea from the late 1800s to after the war in the 1950s because of japanese labor exploitation and cultural persecution, artificially produced famine conditions because of japanese resource exploitation and then the effect of the U.S. bombings on the environment, and the sheer death and destruction of the bombings and ground military troops.
hope this is helpful and lmk if u have more specific questions i can answer!

Statement from Korean American Support for Prisoners of Conscience
Despite Israel indiscriminately bombing schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and residential areas in Palestine, causing the mass slaughter of women and children, U.S. imperialism and Western imperialism continue to support Israel’s inhumane crimes.
Among the distortions and fabrications propagated by the West and nations against North Korea, there is a propaganda war labeling North Korea as a human rights-abusing nation. These countries have no right to even speak of human rights.

The North Korean posts are, well. There are a lot of “leftists” who speak in very condescending ways regarding North Koreans, and like it or not, there absolutely is a lot of propaganda, in the US especially, regarding North Korea. Because yes. You are lied to about it quite a lot to the point most Americans visualize it as a country sized concentration camp and also ignore the intense mistreatment faced by defectors who seek asylum in the US and many other western countries that want intel on the country.
That being said, yeah Brendanicus is an antisemitic freak and it’s disturbing to celebrate the invasion of Ukraine. Do a lot of right wing weirdos obsess over it because they have a hate boner for Russia and the victims involved are white? Yes. But it still is very much An Issue when a world power is trying to take a country back by force after it had been independent. Historically speaking it has not been super swell when one country just decides to conquer all of the others in Europe, and anyone who trusts Putin is a moron. He’s not exactly known for being a leftist or being super cool about marginalized groups.

South Korea’s hostile relationship with North Korea, combined with national pride, sensationalism and the understandable fear of its nuclear-armed, totalitarian neighbor, have created a massive appetite for what Jay Song, a professor of Korean studies at Melbourne University, describes as “misery porn.” In her academic work, Song writes of a “savage-victim-savior” model in which a savage like Kim Jong Un commits atrocities against an innocent, helpless victim like Park who eventually escapes their bad situation thanks to an outside liberator (often white, usually Christian). To me, Song put it more bluntly: “They want to pity some helpless and innocent-looking refugees abused by a fat, ugly dictator.”
Misery porn, like any form of sensationalism, opens donor wallets and generates clicks. These stories don’t just sell inside South Korea; there’s a huge market for them in the U.S. as well. Park’s 2015 book was one of five defector memoirs released that year. Defectors like Shin Dong-hyuk, who escaped from a North Korean prison camp, and Joseph Kim, who survived protracted starvation and homelessness before eventually crossing into China, have given TED talks and scored lucrative book deals. Human rights researchers and journalists alike, meanwhile, are always hungry for stories from inside the Hermit Kingdom. Defectors, Song says, at times receive payment from academics, activists and even some journalists for interviews: between $30 and $300 per hour, “depending on the quality of their information.” The more closely the defector’s story fits the misery porn template, the more valuable the story.
Even small sums of money can make a big difference to defectors in South Korea; studies show they experience widespread discrimination, suffer higher rates of unemployment and are often stuck working menial jobs for low wages. Worse still, these defectors often arrive in debt to the smugglers who made their escape possible, and their inexperience with South Korean capitalism leaves them vulnerable to scams.
Stories like Park’s that perfectly fit the genre — attractive victim, monstrous crimes and appropriate gratitude — can result in million-dollar contracts and international fame. Many of these North Korean horror stories, however, fall apart under more careful scrutiny — not because the nation is a secret workers’ paradise, but because the people who propagate the stories have a political and financial interest in them, and don’t do the incredibly difficult work of checking all the facts.
“The trouble with North Korean defector testimony is that there’s no way to check whether or not it’s true,” Song says. “It’s often found unverifiable and not reliable. Even the U.N. stopped using defector accounts as evidence.”

Published: Feb 11, 2023
“They were in Manhattan, living in the freest country you can imagine, and they’re saying they’re oppressed? It doesn’t even compute,” Yeonmi Park told The Post of students at her alma mater, Columbia University. “I was sold for $200 as a sex slave in the 21st century under the same sky. And they say they’re oppressed because people can’t follow their pronouns they invent every day?”
The 29-year-old defected from North Korea as a young teen, only to be human-trafficked in China. In 2014, she became one of just 200 North Koreans to live in the United States — and, as of last year, is an American citizen.
Now, three years after she graduated from Columbia with a degree in human rights, Park is raising alarm bells about America’s cancel culture and woke ideology.
In her book “While Time Remains,” out February 14, Park writes how she made it all the way to the United States only to find some of the same encroachments on freedom that she thought she left behind in North Korea — from identity politics and victim mentality to elite hypocrisy.
“I escaped hell on earth and walked across the desert in search of freedom, and found it,” she writes. “I don’t want anything bad ever to happen to my new home … I want us — need us — to keep the darkness at bay.”
She implores readers: “I need your help to save our country, while time remains.”
Park first made headlines back in 2015 with her book “In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom” and for her bold claims that the woke environment she endured as a student at Columbia reminded her of North Korea.
In an interview this week with The Post, Park recalled what it was like to be a North Korean defector who escaped tyranny and oppression only to meet college students intent on claiming victim status and earning oppression points. She dubbed her alma mater a “pure indoctrination camp” and said many of her classmates at New York City’s most elite school were “brainwashed like North Korean students are.
“I never understood that not having a problem can be a problem,” Park said. “They need to make injustice out of thin air or a problem out of nowhere, because they haven’t experienced anything like what other people are facing in the world.”
She was born in Hyesan, North Korea, the second child of a civil servant, and grew up under the rule of then-Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il under the bleakest of conditions.
In the first five years of her life, an estimated 3.5 million North Koreans died of starvation. Park recalls hunting for cockroaches on the way to school to quell her hunger — even as the Kim’s regime banned the words “famine” and “hunger.”
“Darkness in Hyesan is total,” Park writes. ”It’s not just the absence of light, power, and food. It is the absence of dignity, sanctuary, and hope. Darkness in Hyesan is … watching your parents and neighbors hauled away by police for the crime of collecting insects and plants for their children to eat.”
After her father was arrested and sentenced to hard labor for the crime of trading dried fish, sugar, and metals, the Park family’s life in North Korea deteriorated even further. Finally, they planned their way out.
“I didn’t escape in search of freedom, or liberty, or safety. I escaped in search of a bowl of rice,” she writes.
Park’s sister fled North Korea first. Park, then 13, and her mother followed, crossing the freezing Yalu River into China. But rather than finding her sister, the pair fell into the hands of human traffickers who sold Park into sexual slavery.
After years of forced slave labor, a still-teenage Park was finally able to break free and travel across the Gobi Desert to Mongolia with the help of Christian missionaries. From there, she went to South Korea where she found refuge and was granted citizenship.
Seven years after they were first separated, Park also reunited with her older sister. But they found out that their father had died shortly after he managed to escape to China.
Losing him, Park said, made her “step into a different life: one dedicated to human rights, and improving the lives of people suffering under tyranny. A life of meaning. A life that would make my father proud.”
When Park was a young girl, her mother told her the most dangerous thing in her body was her tongue and warned her that, if she said the wrong thing or insulted the regime, her family could be imprisoned or even executed.
“That’s the end of cancel culture,” Park told the Post. “Of course, we’re not putting people in front of a firing squad in America now, but their livelihoods, their dignity, their reputations, and their humanity are under attack. When we tell people not to talk, we’re censoring their thinking as well. And when you can’t think, you’re a slave — a brainwashed puppet.”
Since her time at Columbia, the New York City-based author and activist has started a YouTube channel, “Voice of North Korea,” where she shares information about life under the regime. She also joined the board of the non-profit Human Rights Foundation, where she works with dissidents from around the world and, most recently, helped with efforts to drop anti-regime leaflets in North Korea.’
Recently divorced, Park is also now a mother to a five-year-old son. She wants him to have the same freedoms she found in America — but is afraid they’re under attack by pernicious woke ideology, and especially identity politics.
In North Korea, Park said, the government divides citizens into 51 classes based on whether their blood is “tainted” because their ancestors were “oppressive” landowners.
“That’s how the regime divided people. What an individual does doesn’t matter. It’s all about your ancestors and the collective,” she explained.
Now, when she sees Americans indulging in race essentialism and identity politics, she said, it feels eerily familiar.
“They say white people are privileged and guilty and oppressors,” Park said. “This is the tactic the North Korean regime used to divide people. In America it’s the same idea of collective guilt. This is the ideology that drove North Korea to be what it is today — and we’re putting it into young American minds.”
Park told the Post she hopes her second book serves as inspiration for Americans to fight back against false promises of “equity” while they still can.
“I really don’t think that we have that much time left,” she warned. “Already all our mainstream institutions have the same ideology that North Korea has: socialism, collectivism and equity. We are literally going through a cultural revolution in America. When we realize it, it might be too late.”

HHP Chapter 13 Part 1
Here we go! Chapter 13! I love this chapter, i think chapters 11 (though it pained me...) 12, and 13 are my favorite. sorry this isnt proofread. I just was so excited to get it to you guys.
“Ah you look beautiful babe. My beautiful fiancé.” Sunghoon claims as his eyes narrow with admiration upon seeing Vicky, his fiancé.
“Thanks babe. Ready to head out? What time was our reservation again?” Vicky responds back, as she tenderly kisses his cheek and holds on to his hand, allowing him to guide her down the stairway of his lavish two-story apartment.
“We got time. It’s not for another hour, wanna go out for a walk on the boardwalk?” he asks. She nods in response.
Taking the elevator down, he tells her to wait for him near the entrance where the residential guard stands firmly checking for proof of residence in the exclusive estate. Waiting as her gown gently waves against the gentle breeze, her phone rings. Looking at the screen, the caller ID reflects “Ethan”.
“Ethan?” She answers, someone confused, considering that they had not spoken since the breakup.
“Hey, I don’t have a lot of time to explain, but I need you to do something…”
His words were calm yet there was a sense of desperation and panic in the delivery of his words. His voice was deep and low, and it sounded nearly violent, the girl could tell he was angry, though she had never witnessed or heard him at this level before, not even when they were dating.
“Is everything alright? What happe-“ Vicky’s words were cut off.
“I’ll have to explain later, but it’s important you do exactly what I say….”
Judging by his words she could already tell…
“Is y/n in trouble?”
“……..Yeah.”
Vicky and yourself had been texting each other weekly, with the group chat that involved the girls and Emily, it had been almost daily that you all interacted by sharing jokes, gossip, or expressing how much you all had missed Vicky. Yet, the last phone conversation she had with you, she recalled the moment when you had asked her about a particular person, one that she had her own terrible experience with.
“Does this involve Tiff?”
“Yeah…and I’m pretty sure it involves a guy that she’s with. Someone name Scott.”
Vicky shook at the name. She knew the name…
Back when Tiff had tormented her upon finding out that she, a new Freshman at the high school that both Ethan and Tiff had attended as Seniors, was dating the desirable Ethan, who had called it quits with Tiff just nearly six months prior to meeting and dating Vicky. Tiff had messed everything up, yet she yearned for Ethan like plants yearn for the sun. She had a possessive streak going for the man, and Vicky heard of all the rumors on her conduct whenever he was away on trips or at the basketball camp as a volunteer.
Vicky knew that her moral compass didn’t point to north, at least back then it didn’t, so she would never judge Tiff’s mistakes that ultimately led to the downfall of their relationship, since Vicky herself made the same ones. Yet she was at least willing to accept and admit that she was wrong, and handled the situation gracefully when Ethan told her it was over. But there was also something else that made her willing to accept it….long before Ethan even confronted her on the manner with you beside her bed as she cried, when he informed her that he knew of her infidelity.
Flashbacks of when she still resided and attended Decellis University, when she was still living as your roommate. The moment she saw you, she knew what her friends and everyone else had thought. It was easy. Even though she was glamorous and primp with her expensive clothing that Gabe bought her, which she eventually ditched along with him, she was still a pretty girl without all the accessories. But she knew, with or without the lavish materials, she would never be a goddess in everyone’s eyes like you were. She didn’t really mind it, for she had a moment where your appearance stunned her. Sure, was Korean, and she matched the strict beauty standards yet with you, you had a different appeal being that you were born of the nationality and ethnicity you were blessed with. Not only that, but you were just purely….beautiful. That’s how you were viewed by everyone.
With Ethan, you were the world to him. She could see it in his eyes.
She recalled the moment that when he first met you, the way he stared and stood up for you when you felt harassed by Gabe’s pressure, which she ultimately wished she would have done something more about it back then. Yet, as it turns out, she didn’t need to. Event’s and days following after Ethan meeting you, any moment that she glanced over to him, the way his eyes appeared matte black, lacking all shine and life as they became lifeless and dull as he looked at you.
Never noticing as you were always attentive to your studies, if it wasn’t that, you were royally committed to the man who didn’t deserve you, despite Vicky knowing, she didn’t want to pry. She knew you were happy and left you as such. Yet, she knew Ethan wasn’t. Never confronting him on the matter, she could tell that the man was dying inside. His eyes, they only looked lifeless because they were, every time he looked at you and studied your features, not even trying to be sneaky about it despite Vicky being right next to him, his eyes became dull because seeing you while knowing that you didn’t belong to him drained his soul. He was dead, truly, he had no life in his body, not unless he could have you. Yes, you.
It was hard for her to admit it, internally. Vicky could see the signs, yet she couldn’t find herself to be to upset, because she herself was not like you. She didn’t necessarily feel in love, she felt joy, blissful, and the effects of desire, which Ethan had no trouble initiating with any woman he came across. It all came naturally. Yet, Vicky questioned if she truly loved him.
She loved the way he fucked her in the locker room. She loved the way he moved his body, the way he memorized hers, and the way he knew what to do with his hands and his mouth when he thrusted. She loved the fact that he brought her the most pleasure, the most beloved and memorable pleasure she has and will ever feel. He was a God, he was a devil, he was both demonic and angelic. God, the way he can make a woman feel…
But, did she love him?
Realizing the moment, she caught on to Ethan’s habit of staring at you, biting his lip as he bounced his knee, like he was nervous or experiencing some sort of anxiety or panic attack, but it wasn’t any of those things. He carried and exhibited habits that she never saw before, not in the years of her dating him, and yet, there he was doing them whenever you were around. He was yearning for you. You being around him was the same effect of dangling raw meat in front of a wolf.
But even though she didn’t love him, she found it hard to let him go. Because she knew, she had the capabilities to love him, she could have loved him and would have, but his combability with her was just not there. She thought that maybe within time, he would change and become more adaptable, yet Ethan had this manner about him, like he didn’t need you to worry about anything. Yet, it just never dawned on her that the man didn’t change not because of time, he had plenty of it. He didn’t change because he wasn’t with the right woman.
‘He loves her…and yet, she loves the boy who doesn’t love her back.’
There were days and nights that Vicky couldn’t sleep, she wondered if she should have broken it off with Ethan sooner and aid him in pursuing you. She felt bad for him, truthfully, she did. Of all the years that she knew this man, never in that time did she ever see him like this. He was going crazy. Yet, out of her own selfishness, she wanted to keep him around. Between that and you, being completely unaware as you were focused on your studies and Samuel, the man was just being eaten up inside by a beast, waiting to be unleashed. Perhaps it was good that everything happened the way that it did, for there were times she wondered, if she hadn’t accepted and let him go the way that she did, or if you had remained unaware of his desire for you, had Samuel and you not broken up, she feared that Ethan would have transformed into a monster that would have eventually snapped, therefore, would have devoured you rather than contain you like the butterfly in a glass jar. Inch by inch, Vicky noticed, Ethan was becoming more dangerous as each passing moment went by.
Realizing everything, while being called out for her foolishness, she never could be angry at you or Ethan. As fate would have it, there was someone that was waiting for her here, a man that she grew to love in just moments after meeting him, Sunghoon.
With you, she knew you were good for Ethan, at least, you would have ceased his hunger, thus taming the man. You weren’t good to have around…
You were a requirement.
Because without you, who knows what that man would have done. Had he not seen you, not met you, not heard the sound of your voice, life would have just went on. But the truth of the matter was…
He did see you. He did hear your voice. He met you. He heard you say his name. He touched your skin. He saw you smile. He saw the way you loved a man. He saw…
YOU.
At that point, there was no going back. If things had not worked out the way that they did, Vicky feared that the possibility of you being gone, nowhere to be found, along with Ethan, constantly devoured by the man’s affections…no, it wouldn’t be ‘affection’ at that point, the man would have feasted on you. He would have taken you and engorged you all for himself. You would have never known, and deep-down Vicky still felt that till this very day, you still didn’t, you have no clue that whether you had wanted to be or not, you were a requirement in keeping the devil from emerging. If she herself would have had to sacrifice him, while also sacrificing you had you been reluctant, she would have, for the sake of others and the world. For there was no way she was going to stand idly by and let the man continue turning into a monster.
Yes, Vicky did mess up and she did make the same mistakes as Tiff, so therefore she would never judge.
But that was where she drew the line. Unlike Vicky, Tiff couldn’t let Ethan go. She could understand the pain of looking forward to a future without having his touch and experiencing his abilities in issuing out the best, chest heaving orgasm any woman has ever had, the man was blessed, and he had the gift without requiring experience in knowing how to do it, unlike most men.
Tiff was awful. She was terrible. The way she had tormented Vicky when she was just 16, dating Ethan as he was about to graduate high school and start college. She recalled the times where she nearly broke it off just for the mere fact that she couldn’t take the girl’s torturous behavior towards her. The sad part was, Ethan didn’t even know half of it…
A sudden flashback occurred where Ethan was away volunteering at the basketball camp, as usual. Vicky was on school grounds with her friends, practicing cheer routines. Upon conducting a rigorous movement where a pyramid formation was the finishing pose, Vicky was atop of the formation. Never seeing it coming, something had bulldozed into the formation, causing Vicky to topple horrendously to the ground. Had it not been for one of the male cheerleaders to interfere with her fall, it she would have broken her neck. Instead, thanks to him, she got by with just a scar from a wound on her wrist, that occurred from hitting the bleacher stand nearby.
She couldn’t be sure, but after experiencing Tiff’s torment, she had a feeling. The only thing was, Tiff was nowhere to be found within the area.
The cheerleaders all looked around the general area, looking to see what had hit them. It was a man, a man of very large build and stature.
“Huh, sorry about that.” He claims with a terrible smile on his face.
“Just practicing.” He claims.
“For what? You could have seriously hurt us!” one of the male cheerleaders yelled out.
“You’re all fine, just shut up for a minute.” He directed his sights towards Vicky, as well as the female cheerleaders who all surrounded her to attend to her wounds.
“Wow, you’re all really pretty. Are you all models?” the man claimed.
The girls all shook their heads, as did Vicky. There was something about the man that didn’t sit right. He was pushy, in a sense that she just knew there was something he was after.
“Well, I’m an agent, director, and photographer. Here’s my card, you all should give me a call sometime. I can get you gigs real quick…” he hands out the cards, when handing one over to Vicky, he leaned in and whispered…
“I’ll be expecting to hear back, especially from you. Not just because you’re beautiful, but also, she’ll get mad…”
Vicky’s spine had raged with a sudden chill. She just knew he meant Tiff. Looking at the card, the name that appeared read “Scott”.
Vicky never called, and fortunately Ethan came back the next day. She never told him the exact events that took place, but she sometimes wish she would have. Instead, she remained steady by his side. Since he knew of the other stuff Tiff had done, the minor stuff such as spreading false gossip and issuing stare downs, since Tiff was always so careful to never do the serious tortures in front of him, he always watched over Vicky like a hawk. That was enough to keep Tiff at bay since she couldn’t have access to Vicky and do those awful things to her, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t continue with the gossips.
It was nearly a week after the incident at practice and meeting, Vicky had noted the absence of one of her cheerleaders, who had missed practice for five days. Seemingly fed up, Vicky went over to the girl’s house to see what her problem was. Discovering her reason, was something that Vicky was not prepared for, nor did she wish that she had found out.
Upon arriving at the girl’s house, her parents, who had known and treated Vicky as their own daughter, were reluctant to let her in. Finally, after some convincing, they allowed her to go upstairs and see the girl.
Entering the room, the lights were off, the blinds closed, and there she was, sitting on the floor with her head down on her knees. Her hair was immensely oily, it was obvious she hadn’t showered for days. Sensing that something was wrong, and that the girl had a valid reason for missing practice, Vicky approached the girl and tried to comfort her, since it was apparent that she was experiencing depression of some sort.
Seeing Vicky, the girl broke down and shuddered with a tremble that she’s never seen before. Asking her what happened, the girl merely pulled out her phone, and accessed a website….
What Vicky saw, her heart sank.
‘Is this…her?’ Vicky thought to herself as she continued watching a recording that was published, displaying the girl tied up, restrained, and fearful. Seeing a group of naked bodies appearing all around, Vicky read the description and title of the video…
“Cheerleader slut gets a mouthful.”
Vicky couldn’t continue. Shutting off the phone, she already could surmise what had happened. Her heart felt like it dropped into her stomach.
She didn’t even ask, the girl started to speak. She explained how she called that man, Scott, inquiring about a modeling gig. He coordinated a date and time and appeared. At first, the setup was like a legitimate photoshoot, but when things took a turn for the worse, that’s when the girl tried to leave, only to be held against her will as they did the unspeakable to her body. Her missing practice was due to the amount of police statements and reports made, yet the only thing she and her family could do was press charges for the upload, since the males were all the same age as her, all of Scott’s ‘friends’ which came in all shapes, sizes, and different ages. Since Scott himself didn’t upload the material himself, one of his fellow ‘friends’ who was of the same age as her and Vicky, there wasn’t a whole lot, plus with the legal fees, it was nearly impossible for her to get justice against the real culprit.
Vicky never saw her again after that. She didn’t know what happened to that poor girl, and she would sometimes think about her. Wondering whatever happened to her. How can anyone recover from that?
Upon hearing Ethan mentioning the name, the flashback triggered her brain into remembering that traumatizing event, which she never relayed to Ethan…until the moment he said his name…
“Scott? Did you say Scott?”
“You know him?”
………………..
Briefly explaining what he had done, Ethan was silent. So was she.
Your face flashes through her mind. It flashes through his. Seeing Sunghoon pull up with his lavish car, Vicky waves at him for a second, the image of your smile appears. That beautiful smile that she admired, and the kindness that she loved and adored for she had grown to love you as a friend and as a sister.
‘We are family, silly.’
She recalls telling you shortly after she had moved here and met the love of her life. Just like through her, Ethan met the love of his life.
“Ethan, tell me what I need to do.”
“…You still engaged?”
Caught slightly off guard, Vicky nods as she responds. “Uh…yeah.”
“Did he give you a ring?”
“…Yeah…”

Celebrating New Year in Costumes, 1955.
“Despite the threat of a Communist invasion of the islands North of Formosa, the Nationalist Chinese held their usual rip roaring celebration of Chinese New Year. During a parade through the streets of Taipei, Nationalist wore rubber masks and carried placards in Chinese characters saying "Traitor Mao Tse-Tung" and "King of The Killers, Malenkov." The parade also celebrated Freedom Day, the day the anti-Communist Chinese were released from South Korean prison camps, and allowed to join the Nationalists on Formosa.“
