The door to the President’s Office was already open. After a customary knock, Yul entered without waiting for a response. “President.” “Oh, Team Leader Seomun.” President Kim Minjae, who had been leaning against his desk, quickly stood up in surprise. He was not only her senior from college but also a close friend. Bright, kind, and sociable from his undergrad days, he was someone juniors could follow easily without hesitation. Years ago, when Minjae inherited his father’s company,…-

She kept messing up all day. She misplaced items, registered orders incorrectly, and even forgot the boss’s instructions. Eventually, her boss, who’d only stopped by briefly to check in, spoke up. “Yul, is something going on at home?” “No, not at all.” “Then did you break up with that handsome boyfriend of yours?” Her boss’s eyes sparkled with curiosity about Yoonjo, who showed up in front of the store twice daily. Initially, his constant questioning had annoyed her, so she…

“What do you mean… How do you even know that?” “My dad and Yoonjo’s dad are like brothers. I’ve grown up with Yoonjo as if we were one family. Even a month ago, we all had dinner together and talked about the day Yoonjo was planning to leave.” “……” In that instant, Yul felt like she had been thrown into freezing waters in the middle of winter. The blood in her veins turned icy cold, chilling her entire body. The shock was so overwhelming that her throat felt tightly choked,…

“I’m not saying guys and girls can’t be just friends. But, shouldn’t you tone down the contact a little if you’re dating someone? It’s just respectful toward your girlfriend, don’t you think?” “Is that so?” Looking amused, he leaned in with a smirk. With his face so close, his playful attitude made her wonder if he was pretending not to get her point or if he was genuinely clueless. It was a bit annoying. Honestly, I thought I might’ve been a bit too sensitive for bringing it…

The Administrative Director of Neulpureun Eden Church mentioned that, thanks to Pastor Choi and the elder chairman of the church, she could attend school without paying tuition. They said it was part of a program for low-income support, encouraging her to be grateful for their generosity. But now, hearing that she might have to start paying tuition from next year, it felt like an earthquake had hit her insides. “According to the paperwork, that’s not how it looks, so I’m asking. I know your…

Kyeong Ja clicked her tongue and cursed the previous owner of the convenience store. Yul, who also felt a bit hurt, just laughed and nodded along with Kyeong Ja. She had been working diligently, yet the owner suddenly told her to stop working. It was probably because of the incident with Geonju, but if that was the case, they could have said something back then. Receiving the notice a month later didn’t feel good at all. “Oh, here, take this.” Kyeong Ja seemed to remember something and handed…

The sound grew softer, then suddenly louder as several motorcycles stopped right in front of the convenience store. Their headlights flashed against the glass door, almost as if aiming threateningly. At that moment, a chill ran down Yul’s spine as she realized who it must be. Park Geonju. It had to be him. Ding. The door chimed as four young men entered. They were all dressed in dark colors, and two of them, clearly not students, stood out with heavily dyed hair. They looked like trouble. Leading…

As she turned her head, Yoo Kahi was standing at the door. With a shocked look, she alternated glances between Yul and Yoonjo, then slowly walked over. “It was real.” Kahi muttered, letting out a hollow laugh. “You’re actually dating him?” She stared only at Yoonjo, asking coldly, as if she were a betrayed lover catching her boyfriend cheating. In reality, Yoonjo looked unaffected, but Yul, caught in the middle, was flustered. Kahi’s dramatic expression made him momentarily doubt…

“Wh-What?” “If you keep messing with me, I’ll do the same to you. And if you try any tricks, it’s only going to get difficult for you, too. And if you lay a hand on me again…” Yul took a step closer, looking down at Seohee. Seohee’s eyes wavered, filled with anger and wariness as she met Yul’s intense gaze. “You won’t be able to keep going to this school in one piece either, Choi Seohee.” Now that things had come to this, Yul felt indignant. Why had she ever avoided eye…

With a face that showed no excitement, and a voice so dry it almost seemed bored, he spoke. It was a relief he wasn’t being overly sentimental, but something about it still made her feel ticklish. Was it her toes? Or maybe her fingertips? Her back? Her neck? Who knew. Just the mention of being his “girlfriend” — even if it was fake — was enough to stir these odd sensations. Yul opened her English book, trying to focus, but she couldn’t. His persistent and obvious gaze felt like it was glued…
