“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…

Even when you tell the truth, the frustration and despair when the other person doesn’t believe you is something Myeongeun understood well. However, using someone’s disbelief as an excuse for violence was foolish, so he didn’t want to blindly defend Kwon Jinhwan. Myeongeun simply glanced up at Jinhwan. “……Alright. Next.” He quickly looked down and moved on to the next item. Though he didn’t want to defend Jinhwan, he also didn’t enjoy seeing him smile in that bitter,…

“Well, at least mentoring counts towards your performance evaluation score, so try to manage it without too much stress. That’s the hardest part, though.” Manager Lee wasn’t the warmest person, but he was one to offer support when he felt his colleagues needed it. “Manager.” After a brief pause, Myeongeun asked, “Have you heard anything about Kwon Jinhwan?” “Heard anything?” “Yes. I was wondering if you heard anything about him joining the office today.” Manager…

“I did mention this earlier, didn’t I?” The Manager looked at Kwon Jinhwan with a gentle smile. “Assistant Manager Go here will be in charge of your training, Jinhwan-ssi.” Jinhwan stared at Myeongeun before giving a slightly delayed, “Yes.” “I’m Go Myeongeun.” Myeongeun forced a smile in his direction, but there was no response. “Alright, Assistant Manager Go.” The Manager pushed a clipboard across the table toward Myeongeun. There was a note attached to…

“Uh, Deputy Head Manager…” “Of course, Myeongeun-ssi will receive a special allowance.” “No, that’s not what I wanted to discuss….” Myeongeun trailed off, hesitating with his words. Honestly, he was a bit tempted. The rent might be going up soon… Sensing Myeongeun’s reluctance, Kwon Jinhyeon tried appealing to his empathy this time. “I think if there’s anyone who can truly understand Hwan at this point, it’s you, Myeongeun-ssi.” “…Because of my past…
