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."
One Same Ship
"Are you getting better?"
Ivory opened her eyes and saw Aaron's wet hair dripping down her nightgown. The man's shirtless. His body was only wrapped in a towel at the lower of his body.
Obviously, Aaron had just taken a shower.
Especially the aftershave scent that, combined with the smell of her favorite shampoo, made Ivory remember the intimacy they shared when they took a bath. The girl also remembered when Aaron gently massaged her head, poured shampoo, and applied body wash all over her body. Clearly, Aaron's sight this morning endangered Ivory's sense of sight.
Ivory blushed.
"Never better, Aar. Thank you," she squeaked. She avoids eye contact with her Copulation partner.
"Does your forehead still hurt?" asked the man. One of Aaron's fingers then crawled down Ivory's forehead, which was bleeding last night. That part has now been covered with plaster.
Ivory shuddered slightly at the coldness of Aaron Magnifico's skin.
