Jinhwan had said that the Mountain Lord’s child would bring the messengers. Following San Ho, an immense pressure twisted the air around the wall, distorting space as if it were crushing everything in its path. The overwhelming presence, as massive as a mountain, brought with it a fierce gust. To Myeongeun, this presence was invisible. All he could see was Jinhwan’s long parka, its hood fur flapping wildly in the wind. In that blustering gale, Jinhwan stood calmly, holding down his baseball cap…-

The manager dashed out to greet the two men. “Hello, Manager.” It was Deputy Team Leader Kwon Jinhyeok and Deputy Head Manager Kwon Jinhyeon. After greeting Kwon Jinhyeon, Kwon Jinhyeok exchanged pleasantries with the manager, asking, “How have you been lately?” In between keeping an eye on Kim Junyoung, Myeongeun admired the two brothers’ handsome faces. Ah, they look good as always. Thanks to them, the anger he’d been harboring over Kim Junyoung slowly faded, and a sense of…

Was it obvious? From where? I just thought, “Oh, his face is quite neat,” and that was it. Was there something strange in my expression? Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned occasionally doing face masks at home? Or is it because I rarely join gatherings with other guys? But, seriously, why should I even be there when the only topics they discuss are stocks, investing, real estate, sports, golf, baseball, and women? Why do I need to be part of that just to have stories like, “Oh, yeah, I went to a…

“Shh.” Suddenly, Jinhyeon raised a hand, signaling them to stop. His eyes moved as if he were straining to catch a faint sound in the distance. “Stay still,” he whispered softly. Then, it happened. Thud! Myeongeun felt his whole body suddenly grow heavy. Or, was he floating? Confused, he looked down at himself and at the hairpin resting in his palm. Thud! Thud! The sensation reverberated through his heart and mind, as if his entire body was pulsing. The hairpin trembled slightly,…

“Yes. I said I’d take the delivery when it arrives.” “But…” Myeongeun rolled his eyes and sneaked a glance at Jinhyeon, who simply shrugged with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. He was the very embodiment of a bystander. “But Deputy Team Leader, you don’t know the procedures.” “I’ll receive it, check the quantities, and make a record. Assistant Manager Go, you can come verify afterward.” In the end, this just meant I’d have to inspect it again. It wasn’t…

Without even looking at Myeongeun, he sent a message to someone and spoke. "Is it just you here?" "Yes. Everyone else has left for the day." The man finished sending his message and put his phone into the pocket of his jacket. "I don’t think so." He spoke, taking off the hood of his jacket. "Being alone, I mean." Myeongeun blinked. He glanced around the office and then back at the man. He was definitely alone. Thinking this over, Myeongeun glanced down at the man's feet. The man was…

When Go Myeongeun was in fifth grade, long after his time at the Mansindang, he once shared his own ghostly experiences while talking about scary stories with friends. But his friends didn’t believe his story, even when he explained why he had to dress up as a girl back then. Instead, it just made them look at him strangely. Eventually, he became the “liar” and “attention-seeker” among his classmates, and he was bullied until he graduated from elementary school. Nowadays, he can understand the…

Whether it was because the brothers had great instincts or because he couldn’t manage his expressions, Myeongeun wasn’t sure. Either way, it seemed like the latter. Feeling a bit awkward, he rubbed his cheek. “I can’t provide solid evidence, but even if any problems arise from today’s incident, no one will hold you accountable, Myeongeun-ssi. The PR office falls under the Management Support Department, after all.” Kwon Jinhyeon smiled kindly. “The responsibility lies with…

Juyeol was a very blunt person, someone who spoke directly without much filtering. Yet, sometimes, when he was talking to Myeongeun, he’d soften his words a little. Even if what he was essentially saying was still, “You only meet trash because you’re so naive,” Myeongeun knew that it was Juyeol’s way of looking out for him. Maybe if I worked out, I’d be more popular? Myeongeun rubbed his wrist, briefly considering joining a gym. But memories of paying for three-month memberships only to…

It was almost time to start the workday, yet Kim Junyoung was nowhere to be seen. He was probably idling in the smoking room. About two minutes past start time, he'd always stroll in with some excuse like, “Sorry for being late, the restroom was crowded or whatever,” a routine that had practically become the opening act of Employee Kim Junyoung’s daily schedule. “Director, I just checked now.” Myeongeun walked over to Kim Junyoung’s desk, stalling for time. This was supposed to end with…
