“Okay. What time do you finish?” “Eleven.” “Perfect. We can go to the Han River afterward, grab some ramen, and hang out. Right?” “I have to head straight home when I’m done.” Although Yul had given Geonju the location of the convenience store, she tried hard not to leave any room for him to think otherwise. She felt like she was sinking deeper into a swamp, with no lifeline in sight. “Geez, you’re no fun. Hey, I’m—” Just as Geonju was about to continue,…-

“You filthy scoundrel, how dare you talk nonsense to my precious granddaughter? I ought to yank that tongue of yours out and pickle it as a side dish!” Grandmother Kyeong Ja, who had heard the commotion from a neighbor, came storming in, spewing curses. She raised her skinny, bony fists and began pounding on the thug’s arms and chest. She knew these people were ruthless, treating human life as casually as one would a fly, and of course, she was scared. But seeing her beloved granddaughter being…

“Hah, what a nasty girl. Does she think being a celebrity makes her special?” “Celebrity? She’s just an aspiring one.” “She’s probably acting that way because of Kang Yoonjo. Pretending to be his girlfriend or something.” The last comment from Seohee’s group struck a nerve. A girlfriend for Yoonjo, who sleeps all four seasons away? It was something she had never considered. Now that she thought about it, she remembered a girl who confessed to him had mentioned someone named Kahi.…

“I’m done waiting for you, you know.” “Are you sulking? Don’t be so petty.” “I thought you were walking here again today. You said you’d come after school, so what time do you think it is now?” “I got on the wrong bus.” “You didn’t even try to get on the right one, did you? Last time, you said you’d come but didn’t show up.” Director Park clicked his tongue knowingly. He was fully aware of the complicated journey Yoonjo had to take from school to here. There…

The bus began to speed up again, bumping along the road roughly. Yul shifted closer to the window, but every time the bus jolted, her arm brushed against Yoonjo’s in a precarious manner. At some point, his sleeping head tilted near her ear, and with each small nod, a faint breeze stirred around them. Even though they were clearly sitting apart, the subtle movement of the air seemed to tie them together, softly tickling as it drifted back and forth. She couldn’t ignore it; the sensation was…

To be honest, I had guessed as much. Just from the way Jieun couldn’t make eye contact with Choi Seohee, the picture started to come together. “Well, now you’ll be okay.” “Yeah, now that you’re here.” “Oh, right.” Watching Jieun respond so warmly made Yul feel a bit awkward. She’d only tried to comfort her out of sympathy, but Jieun’s unexpected delight left her feeling shy. There was no need to ask why Jieun had been bullied—it was just her past, and dragging it out…

Yul quickly turned around in surprise, looking at them. Yoonjo, who had been leaning against the wall, was now standing straight, gazing at the girl. His usually unfocused eyes, as if looking at a still life, suddenly showed a glimmer. “Really?” The girl, seemingly taken aback, asked Yoonjo with her fingers tightly interlocked. Her sparkling eyes, slightly parted lips, and the tense expression on her face revealed her happiness. Is she that thrilled? I don’t get what’s so great about Kang…

“I know it’s tough for you, my sweetie, but it won’t be much longer. Just hold on a little bit.” “……” “Nothing in this world flows in just one direction. When there are times you fall, there are also times you rise. Everything will work out, so don’t worry.” “Yeah.” With her face buried in her grandmother’s embrace, Yul replied. Honestly, she didn’t know. Could such a miserable world really change just by holding on? If there was at least a stepping stone to climb,…

‘Must be hot.’ She felt a slight pity for him as she looked at his squinting eyes. But at the same time, she couldn’t help but find him ridiculous for staying asleep despite it all. Watching his flawless, fair skin turning slightly red felt a bit of a shame too. He’s really handsome, though. There was an odd arrogance about him that made people feel ignored, yet she couldn’t deny his looks. It was as if even his sleeping face was intricately painted like a delicate work of art. She was…

In the basement level 1 of the Luciano Building, there was a shooting range. It was an unusual and rather pointless facility for a typical office building, but I shrugged it off—after all, it was the Luciano Company. I didn’t know what the rest of the basement was used for, but today I found out it was entirely taken over by the security team. Though they were called “security guards,” most of them were actually mobsters affiliated with Luciano’s organization in the United States. Not all of…-
