EMP Chapter 28
“Can I just get anything?” “Yeah.” “I’ll be back. I haven’t eaten either.” Kwon Jiwook waved him off dismissively. Whether or not he was watching, Park Juyeon gave a slight nod and slowly stepped away. The elevator ride to the basement was quick. Arriving alone at the food court, Park Juyeon clutched a 10,000-won bill tightly in his hand and stared blankly at the menu board. Yesterday, thanks to Lee Woojin treating him to a variety of dishes, he had eaten plenty. Everything had…-

EMP Chapter 27
Park Juyeon stared blankly at his phone. His thumbs hovered over the screen. It wasn’t often that someone reached out to him anymore, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be through an unknown number. Naturally, he found this message strange. After a long deliberation, he sighed and slipped the phone back into his pocket. The hospital mentioned in the message was a familiar place, one he would frequently visit in the future. Just three months prior, he had admitted his mother there. It had been an…-

EMP Chapter 26 – Main Story End
After finishing his sentence, Kwon Jiwook paused to think. Who exactly was the "me" that had just spoken? And whose name had he called earlier? This was the process of a "dream" wandering through his unconscious being reassembled into fragments of memory. At last, Kwon Jiwook fully woke from the long dream. * * * The ones who had tormented Kwon Jiwook were clearly no strangers to such acts. As a result, his condition was worse than Park Juyeon had anticipated. While it wasn’t a matter of…-

EMP Chapter 25
The old story that had started from Lee Woojin’s mouth was, at some point, being continued by Park Juyeon. He had insisted it was fine and asked to be allowed to tell the story himself, though he sounded as if he were merely recounting someone else’s experiences. His tone was flat and emotionless. However, contrary to his tone, the content was strikingly vivid. That he could recall past events so clearly was likely because he was still entrenched in those memories—or perhaps because the words,…-

EMP Chapter 24
"Are you coming or not?" "……." Kwon Jiwook, with a confident expression, looked at Park Juyeon and asked. His tone seemed to openly challenge: How could you dare not come? It was only natural for Park Juyeon to feel intimidated. "……I’ll come……." "Wow! Park Juyeon listens to Kwon Jiwook so well!" "See that? That’s my power, you idiots." "But doesn’t Jiwook Hyung’s mom say anything about this?" "What could she say? Screw it, I live however I want. What’s she gonna…-

EMP Chapter 23
“Mom, can’t you come with me?” “No, I can’t.” “Why not?” His reddish lips pouted, and his young face quickly filled with dissatisfaction. The woman found her son’s sulky expression endearing and struggled to suppress a smile. “Mom has a lot of work to do right now. Besides, the middle school is right next door, and your friends will all be there too. You’ll adjust just fine, right?” “But still, it’s orientation.” “I’ll definitely go with you on the first…-

EMP Chapter 22
“Huff, huff, I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, agh!” Park Juyeon crushed Kim Suhyeok's groin with his boot. Already in a miserable state, Kim Suhyeok couldn't even put up a decent resistance. His body jerked as if electrocuted, but Park Juyeon ignored it. Kim Suhyeok clung to him, crying, but Park Juyeon roughly shook him off and approached Kwon Jiwook. Kwon Jiwook, grimacing from the burning pain, looked up at Park Juyeon with a tense expression. “They say birds of a feather flock together, and it seems…-

EMP Chapter 21
Kwon Jiwook was staring blankly at the vibrating phone in his hand. Even after snapping out of it, it took him a long time to bring the phone closer. He had hesitated for too long. He needed to answer before it disconnected, but just as he thought that, the call ended—only to start again immediately. The phone buzzed steadily in his hand without making any other sound. Kwon Jiwook glanced around, trying to sense any movement outside. He could vaguely tell someone was in the living room, but there was…-

EMP Chapter 20
I'm sorry. Please, just pick up the phone. I swear I won’t tell anyone... Are you Park Juyeon by any chance? Seriously, what are you thinking? What if I report this? Just leave the kid alone, please. You crazy bastard, why are you doing this? The messages ended there. Park Juyeon scrolled down the screen, though it wouldn’t scroll any further. "…I don’t like this." "What? Who?" "Someone. A sly bastard." "Wow, Park Juyeon using harsh words... You must really hate…-

EMP Chapter 19
Ugh, it’s so cold. The annual cold snap during the college entrance exam season didn’t miss its mark this year either. How could the weather get this freezing just because the Suneung is coming up? I’m already freezing to death now, and I’m worried sick about what’s to come. I clutched a rapidly cooling hand warmer in my hand and shook it vigorously. It had already done its job and wasn’t emitting any more heat. Even so, I didn’t throw it away but tucked it back into my pocket, holding…-
