OTC Chapter 9
Her neck felt like it was about to snap. Cafe Haeda had so many windows, which meant the hot afternoon sun streamed in relentlessly. So, Eunkyo went outside, opened five parasols, and extended the awning on the left terrace. She wasn't particularly short, but her neck was stiff from constantly looking up. The lunchtime rush had mostly subsided, and Kim Haeda had gone out on a rare delivery run himself. Drenched in sweat from setting up the parasols, Eunkyo went back inside the cafe and stood under…-

OTC Chapter 8
Early in the morning, espresso, thick as honey, dripped from the portafilter into a small cup. Eunkyo wasn’t a coffee expert, but she had heard that Italians used espresso with sugar to cure hangovers, and she was currently conducting an experiment to see if the remedy actually worked. “Are you crazy?” Kim Haeda, a man of extreme opinions, stared at her with disdain as she added sugar to her espresso. “I’m not crazy. I drank last night. So I’m trying to sober up.” “If…-

OTC Chapter 7
Tilting her head slightly, Eunkyo naturally removed Lee Jaeheon’s hand. The sudden touch might have been startling, but she remained composed, as if accustomed to someone’s touch. “This will dry up quickly. Should I open the wine?” Jaeheon, gently rubbing the fingertips that had just touched her skin, smiled and picked up the opener. “I think I’m more skilled at this.” “Why do you think so? I like wine too.” “I worked part-time at a wine bar when I was studying abroad. I…-

OTC Chapter 6
What are the standards of “anything” as spoken by someone in their twenties? Eunkyo couldn’t readily agree. Lee Jaeheon wasn't a whining child; he was clearly a grown man. “Is this... how your personality normally is?” “And what do you think my personality is like?” “Well... it doesn’t seem to match what I thought it would be.” Lee Jaeheon was someone who enjoyed subtly revealing his twisted emotions. Or perhaps no one had ever noticed it before. If she wasn’t…-

OTC Chapter 5
“One iced Americano and a butter scone, right?” She knew her regular customer’s order without having to ask. “Yes, but it looks like someone’s moving into the basement today?” At the question from her longtime regular, Mihee, Eunkyo smiled brightly as she took her card. “There’s a storage room in the basement, and they’re renovating it into a studio.” “A studio? Is it someone who does music or something?” “Not music, art. Here’s your card.” “Ah,…-

OTC Chapter 4
No one had ever cursed at her to her face. To begin with, Jung Eunkyo’s life had been remarkably uneventful. Her personality wasn’t particularly striking enough to displease anyone, nor was she particularly sociable enough to have a wide circle of friends. Eunkyo thought of herself as as a person of neutral colors, or like a photograph with a blurry filter applied. So naturally, she had never had a heated argument with anyone, nor had she ever been cursed at for being disliked. At least,…-

OTC Chapter 3
"He’s handsome, isn’t he? Seriously." The recording session ended a little past 7 p.m. At Sunggeun's words, coming from right beside her, Eunkyo gave an awkward smile and lifted her 500cc beer glass. "Yeah, well...." The izakaya, where every item on the menu was written in Japanese and English, was the recording team's dinner venue. Beyond the thin panes of glass set in the lattice frame, the evening twilight lingered faintly. Eunkyo and Sunggeun sat side-by-side at the bar, sipping their…-

OTC Chapter 23
It was a slightly high-pitched voice, the kind that anyone would find pleasant. Eunkyo instinctively turned and immediately recognized the person who had called out to Jaeheon. It was the same girl who had tapped Lee Jaeheon on the shoulder at the club after the video screening after-party. Her face, full of the clear, fresh vibrancy unique to those in their early twenties, was as pretty as a famous idol's, making her hard to forget. Dressed in a short, midriff-baring shirt and loose jeans,…-

OTC Chapter 22
Staring directly at Lee Dohyun's chilling smile, Haeda let out a scornful laugh. "Fabricated, my ass…. Hyung, don’t play the victim for no reason. Eunkyo doesn't know about that incident, so if you dare breathe a word of it, I’ll destroy you. You know I’m crazy.” Haeda tapped the table with his index and middle fingers, his fist clenched. Dohyun, after taking a sip of coffee, theatrically raised both eyebrows. “Now I’m scared, Haeda. You even know how to threaten me. But what are…-

OTC Chapter 21
The black stitches sealing the wound on Lee Jaeheon's palm snapped one by one. It must have stung quite a bit, but Jaeheon didn't even flinch. A mere piercing pain like this couldn't hold his interest. What was far more stimulating was the image of her face from the previous dawn, kneeling in the bathroom, clutching his thigh. Jaeheon slowly rubbed the corner of his mouth with his other hand. Heat gathered in his previously calm eyes. Just recalling last night was enough to make his body ache with…-
