The Jealousy Between You and Me (1) Kang Junwoo hurried after Tae Ijae, asking where they could pass the time around here. “The Foggy Forest—you’ve never been, right?” Having never set foot in the H290 zone, Kang Junwoo didn’t even know that a place called the Foggy Forest existed within it. “The Foggy Forest?” “Yeah. It’s got a certain charm.” Tae Ijae’s mention of its allure piqued Kang Junwoo’s curiosity. As he followed, he began picturing what a place named…-

“That’s him, isn’t it?” “It’s him.” “Just how much…” “Shh, stop. We agreed not to speak carelessly.” Christian Baren has sharp ears. His exceptional hearing wasn’t something innate. It stemmed from rigorous training to become a knight from a young age, honing not just his hearing but all his senses over time. Though childbirth had dulled those senses somewhat, they still far surpassed an average person’s, which meant he couldn’t help…-

Roman Erenstein was seething with rage. ‘How little must he value my words to make such a petty mistake?’ Even the coachmen of the Second Prince’s Palace wouldn’t act so carelessly. ‘Why in the world would he go to such a conspicuous place?’ ‘Did he intend to trumpet his return to the whole neighborhood after telling me to keep quiet?’ ‘What if I hadn’t shown up right on time? How was he planning to handle it then?’ ‘Was he so moved by seeing his old…

At a steady pace, two carriages rumbled toward Vermar, the capital of the Cassel Empire. The lead carriage, kicking up dust, carried two of the empire’s most prominent nobles, while the trailing one bore a single family. The moods inside were starkly different. Laughter never ceased in the rear carriage, filled with cries of “Papa!” and “Mama!”, but the front one was silent—no laughter, not even words. Rather— “Is Your Highness… an idiot?” Sven Felix stared…

“Chris, is that really the only way?” “It’s the only way out of this situation.” “…” “…” “You know what? You’re really… stubborn as hell.” The man’s voice, laced with a bitter smile, echoed in his mind. Christian Baren, unable to agree or argue, opened his eyes. ‘Ah.’ How much time had passed? The door before him remained shut. His body ached from sleeping seated for so long. He struggled to stand. Rustle. A…

Long ago, for the twenty-one-year-old Christian Baren, there was a sun that never set. No matter how tough or painful life became, facing that sun-filled him with energy.

He first met this sun at seven, the day he entered the palace with his father, Count Baren. “That’s him, Chris,” his father said. “The one and only lord you’ll…

The Empress’s faction, previously subdued, strutted with newfound arrogance, while the crown prince’s soaring momentum faltered. Why did Roman Erenstein’s return—a man notorious for stirring trouble—shake the palace’s calm? It stemmed from a single remark by the Emperor, who’d…

Let’s Go See the Sea (7) Stepping outside, Tae Ijae walked along the beach, reflecting on the tangled mess of emotions swirling within him. He’d stormed out after bitterly snapping that physical pain was better than a heartache, but truthfully, it wasn’t because Kang Junwoo had hurt him by bringing up guiding as a threat. It was a story he never intended to share with anyone, yet for some reason, they’d slipped out so easily with Kang Junwoo. It felt awkward in hindsight, but he didn’t regret…

The small amount of money Sewon had exchanged at Istanbul Airport had completely run dry. Instead of heading straight to the tourist sites, he decided to exchange more. Passing through the wide-open Taksim Square into the bustling district, he found currency exchange shops practically every ten steps—exaggeration aside. Flashy LED signs listed rates for dollars, euros, and pounds. Despite the early hour, the streets buzzed with energy, likely due to the throngs of tourists. A vendor twirling ice…-
