With a hearty laugh, the large, white-haired old man waved his hand dismissively. "Why bother with such formalities? You're a busy man." "Sir, I truly appreciate you coming today. Time was short, so I apologize for not arranging a more proper setting." "Does the place matter? It's the people that do." He was an imposing man. Her father always called himself a tiger, but the real tiger was standing right there. There was a boldness about him, the kind that came from freely roaming…-

The sound of a rewritten pop song echoed in all directions through the amplifiers. People wearing matching hats and T-shirts, each marked with a number, danced in sync beneath the stage. A sizable crowd had gathered in front of the campaign truck. Yeonha sat in the back seat of a car near the stage, watching it all with indifferent eyes. If her father won this election, it would be his second time wearing a congressman’s badge. He was seen as a politician who was young, successful, and rising fast.…

When he spoke and gave a sly grin, his neatly aligned white teeth showed. In that moment, the face of the boy—who had always carried a bit of a rough edge—looked as innocent as that of a child. I stared at him in silence, unable to make sense of his words, when he muttered under his breath. “Shit, should I not have come? There’s still half a year left.” “…I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I don’t know you, so just—” “But I know you. Your brother, Choi Jaeha,…

"Then, you're going to pay back the money he borrowed now, right?" “…What?” The man shrugged and continued. “The money Jaeha borrowed. He said that even if you can’t pay it all, you’d at least give me something today.” “…But my brother said he’d pay it back once he gets his allowance—” “What are you talking about? He brought me here today so I could get it from you.” Yeonha felt the blood drain from her face. She had underestimated Choi Jaeha too much. A guy…

The entire school was buzzing with excitement on festival day. Students ran through the hallways carrying decorations and promotional flyers, their faces bright with enthusiasm despite being busy. Even the teachers, acknowledging this as the last official event before senior year exams, had replaced lessons with self-study and disappeared from the classrooms. But Yeonha, as always, remained seated in the nearly empty room, idly rolling her mechanical pencil across the desk. "Choi Yeonha! Are you…

2. Nineteen and Twenty Contradictory, mosunjeokin. Contradiction, mosun… Yeonha rolled the word on her tongue and muttered quietly. For days, a word that wouldn’t quite stick in her mouth kept lingering at the tip of her tongue. Contradiction—when the front and back of a fact are logically inconsistent, when two judgments or situations cannot coexist and instead reject each other. Following her habit of memorizing even the Korean definitions of words, Yeonha recited the meanings…

1. The Woman Named Choi Yeonha "If you use the word 'includes,' it means that components B and C are also part of it. But if you translate it as 'is composed of,' it implies that B and C are excluded. In this case, 'is composed of' would be more appropriate." —"Wouldn't 'consists of' work?" "If we're using 'is composed of,' then 'consists of' can also be used as a substitute." Yeonha alternated her gaze between the 32-inch pivot monitor and her laptop, waiting for the response from the person…

Instead of frowning at his words, Yeonha slowly slipped off her dress. Because her mother thought visible panty lines were the worst fashion faux pas, she wore lace T-back panties. A single strip of fabric barely covered the smooth V-line of her groin, with no stray hairs in sight. If she shifted it just slightly, her clitoris—tucked between the folds—would be exposed. A searing gaze fixated on that spot, as if it could burn through. When she unhooked her bra, the suffocating tightness in her…

It was unclear exactly what her mother meant by taking care of it, but Yeonha understood well enough. She gave a small nod, and only then did her mother’s scrutinizing gaze withdraw from her figure. With that, mother and daughter finally moved forward. “Yeonha, come see me for a moment.” Just as she was reaching for her bag, ready to leave, her father called her into his study. There was no need to guess what it was about—he only ever called her in for one thing: fishing for news about the…

Bzzzt— The vibration of her phone against the dining table caught Yeonha’s attention. She glanced at the message. It was from the agency manager, asking when she would be available for an interview with a new housekeeper. She quickly calculated the possible dates and sent a reply. Naturally, the housekeeper in hot pants had been fired that very day. After just two and a half months on the job, she was dismissed—though she was compensated for the remaining days of her salary, along with a…
