Mea Maxima Culpa
Description
"This is all my fault" is all that I can think the moment I see Dara-noona and Seungho-hyung kissing. The moment I see them break apart and look at me with eyes that beg for forgiveness. Why, why must I hurt the people I love.
This is all my fault.
What begins as a simple discovery unearths another secret that leads to more hidden truths. This is the beginning of the most chaotic unraveling of the past and present. The revealing of what everyone has strove to hide. The end for some and the beginning for others.
What will await them at the end of this long tunnel where secrets are pieces of a larger puzzle and happiness does not come to everyone?
Whose fault is the loss of love. Whose fault is the cause of love. And ultimately, who fault is it?
This is a story about a boy who held too many secrets in a small glass box. This is a story about that glass box cracking and those secrets spilling out like water from a river. This is a story about one boy who set out to try and protect those close to him, but ended up harming more than helping and discovering the heavy cost of secrets. It is a story of pain, loss, love and possibly happiness when least expected.
Most of all, this is a story with a GORGEOUS poster made by lycheeroses/Tran that i absolutely adore <3 It totally embodies the meaning of this story, so i hope you guys like it as well~~~ Thanks sooooo much to lycheeroses for this fantastic piece of work!!!
Foreword
Mea Maxima Culpa: My most grievous fault
Sometimes people tell me I’m innocent. That I’m cute for being so clueless, so utterly oblivious.
I wouldn’t call that innocent. I would call it guilty on all charges.
Because when you’re as ignorant as I was then, you just hurt people. You hurt the ones close to you, the ones you love and care for. You hurt them all. And the worst part is that you yourself are never hurt in the process.
That in my mind is a crime. And I am guilty.
There is no denying it. It is my fault, my entire fault.
And when you commit a sin as great as mine, the only way out is to atone for that sin. With blood, sweat and tears. An eye for an eye is incorrect. It is more like a soul for that one eye. I would give up my entire existence just to prove that I am sorry.
Dara-noona. Seungho-hyung. Ji-eun. Everyone.
I’m sorry.
It was my entire fault, my most grievous fault. I will atone for that which I harmed. I will.
No matter the cost.
That I promise.
