Onyx Kim
Onyx Kim
The oldest daughter of House Mother. A woman who’s haunted her groovy square beat. As the infectious dance music begins to uproot deep inside her mind, she has to walk. With her long and slender legs, she walks under the artificial moonlight of the city.
During her training as a child, Onyx Kim walked to the beat of her song, around the perimeter of their House. Unlike her other sisters forced to do the same thing, she never grew out of this routine. Now as an adult, she walks in a square route every night around the city. Repeating this exercise over again.
When she isn’t walking, she is still haunted by Time After Time, continuing lyrics of the song, adding on to the original lyrics. She’s ashamed to share her writing to her family, but shares her works on pussy.planet .

“I’m walking on looping squares. It’s not such an uplifting feeling, as a more nostalgic one.
I wish I could remember how my body felt when my legs stopped working on me, on Listen #45, and falling to the cement. That one time was unlike the rest. My knees were bleeding. I couldn’t dance then. I can't dance now. I walk to the beat, dawning fake aesthetics.
I can’t dance to such a special and sentimental song. Sugiurumn, my father. Long ago, Sugiurumn made this gift for me. I am Sugiurumn’s child of House. Chemically, I’m bound to this love of dance, but I have nobody to share it with.
Through the flow of time, I try to call back to another century where I can open my heart to love. For now, I wander the streets alone. Opening the doors to the castle of my mind. A beautiful multi-layered beat pumps my blood, but just enough.
"Time After Time…is this the name of my song. Where did it come from?”
