AHATG Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Joo Hee-beom stepped out to the back of the shop, holding a bag of food waste. He had tied the opening tightly, yet the pungent stench still stung his nose. Disgusting. Revolting. His eyebrows furrowed instinctively before he could even think. He had been working at the seafood restaurant for a full year now, but he still couldn’t get used to handling food waste. Now, he understood why Seong-jin absolutely loathed it. After disposing of the trash, Hee-beom returned to the restaurant’s…-

AHATG Chapter 8
Chapter 8 After finishing his tutoring session, Hee-beom felt relieved that I-young was nowhere in sight. He figured that, as the busiest man in the country, I-young must have left. He didn’t even bother checking. Even if he had just stepped away temporarily, it didn’t matter. This was the perfect chance to escape. He briskly crossed through the apartment complex. His pace was noticeably faster—because he was afraid that I-young might suddenly appear from somewhere. But…-

AHATG Chapter 7
Chapter 7 "Hey, Hee-beom." The sky was painted in deep hues of scarlet as the sun set. Hee-beom stood at the bus stop, waiting to head to his tutoring session. Next to the bus number displayed on the electronic board, the words ‘At previous stop’ were flashing. Seeing this, he pulled his transportation card out of his pocket. Then, suddenly—a familiar scent of shampoo tickled his nose. A clear, familiar voice. I-young. "What are you doing here…?" Hee-beom took a startled step…-

AHATG Chapter 6
Chapter 6 "It's a bit late. Sorry. My tutoring session ended late." As Hee-beom entered the sashimi restaurant, he set down the heavy bag that had been weighing on his shoulders. Then, quickly slipping on a pair of rubber gloves, he positioned himself in front of the stack of dishes piled up in the kitchen. Using the tip of his foot, he pulled over the trash bin and scraped off the fish bones stuck to the plates. "It's fine, it's fine. Just ten minutes. Have you eaten?" Seong-jin, who was wiping…-

AHATG Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Kwon I-young was an Esper. One with telekinesis. Hee-beom’s expression stiffened. He twisted his wrist, trying to free himself. "Let go." "No." I-young tightened his grip, his fingers digging in. Hee-beom’s fingertips turned pale from the pressure— As if I-young was intent on keeping them attached forever. However— Despite the aggressive effort, his strength was shockingly weak. Like a small animal trying to hold on. In the end, I-young couldn’t…-

AHATG Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Hee-beom hurried down the stairs after leaving the lecture hall. His mind was racing. His last class had run long, and now he was cutting it close to his tutoring session. On a normal day, he would have had time to grab a rice ball or something. But today, he wouldn’t even have time to stop by the convenience store. "Ah… a cigarette." Reaching the first floor, Hee-beom frowned. So he wouldn’t be able to smoke either. There was no place more comfortable to smoke than…-

AHATG Chapter 3
Chapter 3 "You'll understand better once you read the contract." Jang Jun-ho pushed a stack of documents toward him. Then, pen in hand, he began explaining each clause line by line. "……." But Hee-beom couldn't focus at all. Because I-young was sitting right next to him. This was Jang Jun-ho’s private office, and the square table had six chairs in total. Yet, for some reason, I-young had deliberately chosen the seat right beside him. And as if that wasn’t enough— He had…-

AHATG Chapter 2
Chapter 2 After finishing two consecutive tutoring sessions, Hee-beom headed to a nearby smoking area and lit a cigarette. It wasn’t just any smoking zone—this was the one he habitually came to after tutoring. Of course, no more, no less—just one. A pack of cigarettes cost as much as a meal, so even if he wanted to smoke like a chimney, he couldn’t afford to. Exhaling a slow stream of smoke, Hee-beom pulled out his phone. A sharp light pierced through the darkness, making him…-

AHATG Chapter 14
Chapter 14 "I came because I wanted to see you." I-young grinned without a shred of shame. For a brief moment, Hee-beom imagined flicking him on the forehead. "You can’t just show up in my lecture hall. What if someone recognizes you?" "Ehh, like that’s gonna happen." "…Like that’s gonna happen?" "The students here are all nerds like you, right? Then they’ll be too busy looking at the professor, not me." "……." "Director Jang said it’d be fine as long as I stayed…-

AHATG Chapter 13
Chapter 13 The boy was so startled that he couldn’t even scream properly. Meanwhile, the four-lane road beside them roared with the sound of cars speeding past. The student was thrown into the air. For a brief moment, he hung there, suspended. And then—he started to fall. But— It was slow. Too slow. It was as if someone had hit the slow-motion button. No—it wasn’t just a feeling. Hee-beom realized that the boy was actually falling in slow motion. And from the…-
