by _rinnnie — Need urgent cash? The address on the business card led him to a loan shark's office a bit away from the city center. Knock, knock. As he entered, several burly men were sitting on the sofa, eating jjajangmyeon. Their eyes turned to Jungin. "I'm here about Ryu Dongchan's debt." As soon as he finished speaking, the man sitting in the middle pushed aside his jjajangmyeon bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up. Unlike the others, he wore a striking white suit with a bold red handkerchief…

by _rinnnie — Looking at the disconnected call, Jungin laughed with a hollow expression. What have I done? But there was no turning back. The loan sharks who had promised a few more days suddenly changed their tune, and the acquaintances who had agreed to lend money were all out of contact. Rubbing his face with both hands, he lay sideways on the bed. It was a night as quiet as a mouse. He hadn't told his mom anything. It wasn't like he was getting married right away; he needed to meet the person and hear them out. A…

by _rinnnie — "Again, again! I told you to place the teacup saucer at the bottom left." Jungin quietly pushed the saucer from the right to the left. He lost count of how many times this had happened. He thought he'd be traveling far for a tea ceremony class, but the teacher came to his house. The elderly man, with his white hair tied in a traditional bun and wearing a hanbok, had a stubborn look in his eyes and lips, and he seemed incredibly strict at first glance. "How many times do I have to tell you? You should…

by _rinnnie — Chairman Kim stared at the photo on the tablet with a terrifying expression. He knew Kim Hajun wouldn't willingly go to the blind date, but he didn't expect this. He had turned a blind eye even when Lee Dooyoung went as a substitute, but this time... Moreover, an hour ago, Ryu Jungin had contacted him. For some reason, he expressed his intention to decline. It was unexpected. Ryu Jungin's biggest weakness was the family and orphaned children he had to take care of. Even now, he was running around trying…

by _rinnnie — As soon as he got home, Jungin loosened his tie and gulped down a cup of cold water. Where's the antacid? The food he ate for dinner was stuck in his chest and wouldn't go down. Hearing Kim Hajun's footsteps going up to the second floor, he grabbed the water cup and followed, calling out. "Kim Hajun!" Hajun turned around. "I have something to say." "Go ahead." He gestured for him to come down, but he didn't budge. As he started to go up, Hajun finally came down and stood a little distance…

by _rinnnie — The fourth period was the notoriously boring Chinese characters class. As the warm sunlight poured in through the window, some kids started nodding off. Hajun, who was taking notes, pushed up his round silver-rimmed glasses that had slipped down his nose and glanced outside. It was spring. A pleasant breeze came in through the open window. At the school gate, there was an old cherry blossom tree, and whenever the wind blew, petals scattered like snow. The security guard spent all day sweeping up the…

by _rinnnie — Jungin asked Dahye to step out for a moment. Once they were alone, the atmosphere became even more silent and awkward. He asked if Hajun wanted tea and stood up. Meanwhile, Hajun looked around the shop. The oriental-style interior was unique. Tattoo designs and hand-drawn pictures were scattered around. Further inside was a makeshift bed and equipment for procedures. He had been good at drawing as a child, but he never imagined he'd end up in this profession. Hajun watched Jungin's back, keeping his…

by _rinnnie — The loud alarm blared, and Jungin pulled the blanket over his head. It stopped for a moment, then started again. He stuck his face out from under the blanket and reached for his phone. It was 7:30 in the morning. He wanted to sleep a bit more. For someone who felt the cold, getting out of bed in winter was torture. After burying himself in the blanket for five more minutes, he stumbled out of bed without fully opening his eyes. He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, and turned on the shower. The…

by _rinnnie — "Are you serious?" Dooyoung asked the same question several times, unable to believe it. When Hajun suddenly called to ask if he knew the address of the blind date partner, he thought it was strange, but now marriage? Just a few days ago, he had refused to go to the blind date and sent him as a substitute. Sure, the partner was handsome and charming, but there were many such people around Kim Hajun. And Kim Hajun was famously known for his stance against marriage. The sudden change of heart was…
