“No, I just feel a bit embarrassed.” “What’s embarrassing? I’m awful at drawing, so I’m jealous of people who are good at it. Are you thinking of becoming an artist?” “No.” Yul shook her head slightly. She’d been good at drawing since she was young, but she didn’t want to be an artist. She had another dream—a dream that had once been her father’s but had since become something she wanted for herself. She hadn’t intended to say it out loud, but with Jieun looking at her,…-

“So why the hell did you mess with a civilian, you idiot?” “Was it me who started it? The old hag started lecturing me about smoking without even knowing anything, so I just raised my hand a bit.” “Still, does that mean you hit her?” “Who the hell hit her? Damn it.” An exchange between Park Geonju and some girl bounced back and forth, loud enough for everyone to hear. Yul tried hard not to visibly pull back. Every other word from them was some curse, raw language flying out…

In the end, in her desperation, Yul grabbed his arm. Only then did Yoonjo stop and look at her. She clutched his thick, strong wrist through the fabric, but she was too anxious to even feel it. She was frightened and desperate. “Don’t tell anyone.” “What?” “What you just heard about me. Please, don’t tell the others.” Locking eyes with Yoonjo, Yul spoke without taking a breath. He stared at her silently. For a moment, she realized his eyes were a soft brown. Under the natural…

He was a tall male student with broad shoulders. In contrast, his small face was pale and smooth, but it didn’t leave a soft impression. Through his messy bangs, his smooth forehead peeked out now and then. With a straight nose, eyes with a subtle double eyelid, and lips pressed firmly together, he gave off a sharp, cold vibe. His tie seemed to be missing, and his shirt, sloppily tucked under his school jacket, was hanging out over his pants. He slung his bag over one shoulder as if he was holding a…

“Jungwoo.” “Oh, you’re here?” Jungwoo, who had been sitting on a bench outside the hospital room, greeted Yul as she stepped out. She sat beside him, brushing back her disheveled hair. The fatigue of a long day weighed on her, especially since today had been filled with events and a certain person she couldn’t get out of her mind. “How are Pastor and Mrs. Choi?” she asked politely, inquiring after his parents. She normally wouldn’t bother, but seeing Jungwoo so often lately, she…

As soon as Yul arrived home, she picked up her luggage bag and went into her grandmother Kyungja’s room. She planned to pack some of Kyungja’s underwear to take to the hospital. Dropping down on the floor, she grabbed the drawer handle, letting out an unconscious sigh. “That bastard, Kang Yoonjo.” She had attended three high schools without graduating from any. Looking back now, she regretted not quitting sooner, but at the time, things had unfolded as they did. Her environment had been…

Park Geonju’s face froze in an instant as he turned toward the sound. Even with alcohol clouding his mind, he immediately recognized the man who had scoffed. He must have remembered him from long ago—longer even than Yul had known him. “What the hell? Aren’t you Kang Yoonjo?” Park’s voice took on a sharp edge. But the real shift in atmosphere wasn’t just because of his tone. A few nearby people, including staff members, quickly straightened their clothes and stood up straighter. An…

“What is it that Jinhwan-ssi sees?” “Dead people’s past. Living people’s strong emotions in the moment.” “Ah.” Only then did Myeongeun realize that Jinhwan already knew about Assistant Manager Jang’s past. At the time, he hadn’t had the luxury to question it. “What about living people?” Jinhwan fell silent, perhaps trying to find a way to explain. “For example, if you casually thought, ‘I want kimchi stew for lunch today,’ I wouldn’t see that. But, if you…-

"Yes, ma’am. Hello." Myeongeun's mother bowed deeply toward the grandmother. The grandmother slowly got up and approached Myeongeun and her mother. She kneeled down with an "oof" and sat to meet Myeongeun’s gaze. Instinctively, Myeongeun grabbed her mother’s thigh and hid behind her. The grandmother had a warm smile, but there was an undeniable aura around her that made Myeongeun feel tense. "Myeongeun, come and say hello," her mother encouraged, gently guiding Myeongeun forward. "So, you're…

Twenty-nine, or to put it another way, the cursed age. It was the first Tuesday of December, and the dreaded age loomed just around the corner. "The Section Chief says we should all gather in the conference room because the Department Head is coming in." Ten minutes after Assistant Manager Lee sent this message through the company messenger, six employees from the General Affairs Office gathered in the conference room. Ten more minutes passed, and the Department Head entered with an extremely tall…
