“Looks like we have another corpse to clean up.”“W-Who are you?” A man wearing a flashy shirt unbuttoned to his chest, reeking of cigarette smoke. Kwak Chi-gyeom suddenly appears at Han Seul-ah’s mother’s funeral, mentioning a deal he had with her deceased mother and bringing up a suspicious vault called “Ephphatha.” And the condition to open that vault is… “Why… Why do I have…- 1.8 K • Apr 23, '25

Ephphatha Chapter 23
"Judging by how much you run your mouth, you were definitely born to be a host. I shouldn't have pulled you out." Daeseok smirked and loosely tied his hair. "Why are you like this? I'm on a roll these days. I'm getting a lot of commissions from all over." "Yeah? Then why don’t you ride that momentum and get out of my bank account?" "What are you saying? I swore loyalty to you. You were the only one who pushed me when I had nothing, and…-

Ephphatha Chapter 22
As soon as Seul-ah entered the house, she took a shower. She neither had the mood nor the energy for it, but it was a habitual action she followed to relieve fatigue after going out. The rushing stream of water poured down from the top of her head, flowing over her forehead, face, and neck, soaking her chest before cascading down her legs. She stood blankly under the water until she felt an unfamiliar dampness. When she looked down, she realized she had forgotten to take off her…-

Ephphatha Chapter 21
“I haven’t said much yet.” “Ah… Oh, thank you for the water.” As she accepted the cup with both hands, he let out a deflating laugh and filled her cup to the brim. Seul-ah took a few small sips of the warm tea as a gesture of appreciation, then took off her bag and placed it on the chair beside her. Although she had run into him today, it didn’t seem like the right time to return the handkerchief and money. She decided to wait for another opportunity,…-

Ephphatha Chapter 20
Even though she arrived earlier than the appointed time, Seo Han-seong’s sedan was already parked in front of her house. As she hastened her steps, a neatly dressed man stepped out of the driver’s seat. He raised both hands slightly in the air as if to stop her. “Take your time.” “Hello. You came early.” “The traffic wasn’t bad.” As he naturally moved to the passenger side and opened the door for her, Seul-ah’s gaze inadvertently…-

Ephphatha Chapter 19
What exactly am I supposed to do? Tak. Seul-ah shut her laptop lid with a slight furrow in her brow. She marked "Today's Work" as completed on her checklist, placed the English dictionary inherited from her mother back in its place, and tidied up her pen and notebook—all with visible dissatisfaction. After finishing her desk cleanup, Seul-ah checked the clock on her desk, which pointed to 2:30 PM, then flopped onto her bed. Studying English vocabulary at…-

Ephphatha Chapter 18
Since Chi-gyeom naturally knew the password to the shared entrance, he opened the door without hesitation, only to turn his head and find Seul-ah glaring at him. “What?” “You have no right to lecture anyone about manners. It’s been bothering me, but why do you keep addressing my mom so informally? She’s much older than you.” “So what?” “You could at least show some basic respect for an…-

Seo Han-seong led her to a restaurant inside the department store. It was an act of consideration for her, as she seemed quite exhausted, and Seul-ah recognized this and felt grateful. Thanks to him ordering in line with her preferences, she was able to comfortably fill her stomach with a salad and half a salmon steak. Their conversation flowed smoothly. He asked her light questions that wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable, and she responded without pressure, allowing…-

Ephphatha Chapter 16
"What?" A gasp escaped her lips, and she quickly shut her mouth. - “I've only ever used that handkerchief.” His voice, lower than usual, was accompanied by a deep sigh, carrying a sense of genuine disappointment. Seul-ah's anxious eyes wavered and landed on the urn holding her mother's ashes on the living room shelf. A single chrysanthemum was placed inside the lidless urn. "Ah, um... Kwak Chi-gyeom, I'm sorry, I..." - “It can't be…-

Ephphatha Chapter 15
He slowly swept his gaze over the long, slanted eyes, the dense eyelashes, and the reddened, swollen eyelids from crying before bringing his index finger to them. A fine eyelash landed on his fingernail. When he brushed it aside, Seul-ah squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again, as if tickled. Of course, he had no peculiar habit of collecting eyelashes. He had suggested it as a joke because her tear-streaked face intrigued him, and since her reaction was amusing, he had simply…-
