Copulation
What will you do if your rights are taken away and controlled by a state order? Boredom must be the answer. At least that's what Ivory, this year's Copulation participant, felt. Having a child with a stranger is hard for her. Especially if it's just a game controlled by a system. Ivory hates her destiny as someone who is always considered weak. On the other hand, Aaron, who was initially about to marry his fiancée, suddenly canceled his plans and chose to join the game. His meeting with Ivory made him understand the feelings of his momentary partner. At the same time, Ivory also questions her feelings, which start to grow uncontrollably for Aaron. Spending day and night under the same roof certainly makes the existing boundaries gray. Ivory doesn't want to be someone's lover, but fate makes her difficult to choose. Can they survive amid their efforts to break the system that shackles freedom? === === "Stop treating me like your real partner. I can't. Falling in love with you is exhausting." "Don't hate me, Ivory. Don't walk away from me." "I love you, but we met to part. I don't wanna hurt myself, hoping that we can stay together forever."
Back Up
"Fucking idiot! Shit! What a fool you are, Aaron!"
The twenty-six-year-old man kept cursing himself. He clearly regretted his out-of-bounds stupidity. He swore that he was the stupidest man he had ever known.
Really, it wasn't his intention to shower Ivory with cruel words like the one he just said a few minutes ago. He just wanted to make the girl go home with a sense of security and comfort. He wanted Ivory to calm down and not be jumpy anymore.
However, he is the jumpy one. When Ivory mentioned Cakara's name, his emotions immediately rose. Anger seemed to overwhelm his entire rationality. He couldn't accept Ivory's defense and instead cornered the girl. As a complement, he even said if Ivory bothered him.
Hell, that's not true.
He swore that Ivory was not a burden. He was only worried half to death about his partner's condition. Unfortunately, Aaron's worries were put in the wrong words. A row of spoken sentences even became a boomerang for him.
