Hyung... please
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
"Ahh, hyung... that tickles ~ Nngh... n-not there... n-no... wait!! Please wait! Uhm... hmmm..."
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*gasps just as the seme thrusts forcefully*
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
"Too deeeep!!" *screams*
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*chokes on broken sobs* "Hyung... please..."
(The seme captures the uke’s lips possessively, swallowing his moans. The uke kisses him back and the scene ends.)
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*Finishes recording, turning off the mics.*
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭Phew~ that was perfect. I've made so much progress!
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*Leans back in his computer chair.*
💭This one's gonna blow the fans' minds! Chef’s kiss for this aeni. 😌
Ji-ho has always thought his voice was too soft for this world.
At twenty-four, fresh out of a dead-end dubbing gig for kids’ cartoons, he posts fan-dubs of BL anime and aeni scenes on his X account just to feel something.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭This feels so satisfying after all those innocent cute cartoons... But what if parents found out...?
(Ji-ho can't help but laugh at this paradox.)
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭Well, I love making kids happy, but I’ve got my own passions too, right? 😁
He spends three hours editing the clip and syncing his dub to the aeni characters' movements. By the time it's finally ready, the sun has risen in the sky.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*Stretches his arms and legs.* Ugh, too tired...
He posts the clip on his X account.

📲Caption: "tried dubbing this scene from Your Breath... the uke's breakdown hit different 😭"
Then he goes straight to bed.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭All those fake moans and orgasms don’t turn me on anymore. They just make my heart race with excitement… and jealousy…
Eventually, exhaustion takes over and blurs his thoughts.
It’s five in the morning. While Ji-ho dreams about unpaid bills, other people are awake—headphones on, eyes glued to the screen, breath caught in their throats—because some BL aeni have gone beyond just “recording the lines.”
Do you feel anything?
Private psychiatric facility
Seongbuk Mind & Wellness Center
Ji-ho stands outside the tall glass building in Seongbuk-dong. The facility looks more like a luxury hotel than a psychiatric hospital—marble entrance, perfectly manicured gardens, discreet signage.
He's been coming here three times a week for the past two years. It never gets easier.
He walks through the automatic doors into the pristine white lobby.
Receptionist
Mr. Kang! *looks up with a practiced smile* Here for your usual visit?
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
Yes. *bows politely* How is she today?
Receptionist
*checks computer screen* Dr. Lim adjusted her medication yesterday, so she's been... resting more than usual.
Ji-ho's stomach sinks. "Resting more" is code for "barely conscious."
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
I see. Thank you.
He signs the visitor log and clips on his visitor badge. The receptionist buzzes him through the security door.
He walks down the long hallway—cream-colored walls, soft classical music playing through hidden speakers, the faint smell of antiseptic masked by lavender air freshener.
Room 308. Third floor. He's memorized the route.
He takes the elevator up. His reflection stares back at him in the polished metal doors—tired eyes, cheap hoodie, hair that needs cutting. He looks out of place here, among the wealth and sterility.
The elevator dings. Third floor.
He walks past other rooms. Some doors are open—patients doing art therapy, reading, staring out windows. Others are closed. He doesn't look too closely.
He knocks softly even though he doesn't need to.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
Mom? It's me.
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*No answer.*
The room is small but well-appointed—single bed with clean white sheets, a desk by the window overlooking the garden, a private bathroom, a chair for visitors.
His mother is sitting in the chair by the window. She's wearing a pale blue hospital gown, her hair neatly combed—probably by a nurse this morning. She's only forty-seven, but she looks older. Much older.
Her face is slack, expressionless. Her eyes are open, staring out the window at nothing in particular.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
Hi, Mom. *closes the door gently behind him*
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*doesn't turn.*
He pulls the visitor chair closer and sits beside her. He's learned not to expect much. Some days she blinks when he talks. Some days she doesn't even do that.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
I brought you something. *pulls a small container from his bag* Your favorite—the yakgwa from that shop near our old apartment. Remember? You used to take me there after school...
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭One of the few good memories we have together.
He opens the container. The sweet honey scent fills the room.
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*doesn't react.*
Ji-ho sets it on the desk.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*voice softer now* I got another dubbing gig. Just kids' cartoons again, but... it's something. The pay isn't great, but I'm managing.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭I'm lying. I'm not managing. But she doesn't need to know that.
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*her fingers twitch slightly in her lap*
Whether it's a response or just a side effect of the medication, he can't tell.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
The nurse said Dr. Lim changed your medication again. Are you feeling okay? Do you... *hesitates* Do you feel anything?
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*silence*
Her eyes remain fixed on the window. Her breathing is slow, rhythmic. If he didn't know better, he'd think she was meditating.
But she's not. She's just... gone.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*throat tight* I wish you'd talk to me. Even just once. Even just my name.
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*nothing*
He reaches out slowly and takes her hand. Her skin is cool, papery thin. She doesn't pull away, but she doesn't squeeze back either.
They sit like that for twenty minutes.
Ji-ho talks about small things—the weather, a funny video he saw online, how his neighbor's cat keeps sitting outside their door. He doesn't mention the overdue bills. The eviction notice. The desperate job search.
He doesn't mention how scared he is.
Eventually, a nurse knocks and enters.
Nurse
*gently* Mr. Kang, I'm sorry, but it's time for your mother's afternoon session.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*reluctantly lets go of Mi-young's hand* Of course.
He stands, smooths out his hoodie awkwardly.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*to his mother* I'll come back on Wednesday, okay? Same time.
Mi-young Kang (Ji-ho’s mom)
*doesn't respond*
Her gaze hasn't shifted from the window.
Ji-ho bends down and kisses the top of her head—her hair smells like hospital shampoo, sterile and unfamiliar.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*whispers* I love you, Mom.
He leaves the yakgwa on the desk. He knows she probably won't eat it. The nurses will throw it away in a few days.
But he brings her something every visit anyway.
He walks out, closing the door softly behind him.
In the hallway, he leans against the wall for a moment, eyes burning. He won't cry here. Not in front of the nurses. Not where anyone can see.
He takes the elevator down.
Signs out at the reception desk.
Receptionist
*smiles at him* See you on Wednesday, Mr. Kang!
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
*nods and steps outside*
The sunlight feels too bright after the dim facility. He checks his phone.
📲Facility bill due next week: ₩3,800,000.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭I have no idea how I'm going to pay it.
He pulls his hood up and starts walking toward the subway station.

Ji-ho is lying in bed, scrolling through X on his phone.
His latest clip—a 50-second dub of an intimate, emotionally raw scene from Your Breath—has completely blown up.
Ji-ho Kang (Eiran)
💭Wow... when I posted it six days ago, I expected maybe 100 likes. 😳
But somehow, @BLObsessed_KR—a massive fan account with 80K followers—retweeted it yesterday with the caption:
