TZLUP Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Jaekani still hadn’t decided whether to forgive Huikyung or beg for his forgiveness. But now that everything he knew had been burned to ashes, he realized he had no choice. To survive, he had to stick with Huikyung somehow. After all, wasn’t he an Esper? Surely, he had some sort of plan if he’d gone to such lengths. In response to Jaekani’s firm demand to take responsibility, Huikyung muttered, almost as if to himself: “How old are you now?” “Ten.” Jaekani decided to…-

TZLUP Chapter 20
Chapter 20 “If I hadn’t killed them, the military would have eventually come and wiped everyone out,” Huikyung said coldly. “Selling Esper flesh? That’s a straight ticket to execution. Even if they hadn’t been caught, it wouldn’t have mattered. Esper blood and flesh are toxic, Jaekani. They’d all have ended up hallucinating and overdosing themselves to death—including your so-called father.” Jaekani shook his head in disbelief. His father couldn’t have done such a thing. The…-

TZLUP Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Climbing over the rubble of the explosion, Huikyung carried Jaekani in one arm, effortlessly making his way to the surface. The cold night wind blew Jaekani’s long hair, obscuring his vision and forcing him to bury himself deeper into Huikyung’s embrace. A warm hand gently stroked his back, providing comfort despite the chaos around them. In the distance, the wail of sirens grew louder—the alarms triggered by the commotion. Jaekani instinctively tried to wriggle out of…-

TZLUP Chapter 18
Chapter 18 With a sigh, Jaekani tugged off Jaebad’s shoe, his father’s leg falling limply to the floor. Jaebad, clearly intoxicated and muttering nonsense, spoke in a slurry tone. “Blood… that’s just life for you.” Jaebad often spouted gibberish when drunk, so Jaekani didn’t pay much attention. As he moved to remove the other shoe, one precariously hanging on Jaebad’s foot tumbled and rolled under the table. “Ugh…” Jaekani sighed. He crawled under the table to retrieve…-

TZLUP Chapter 17
Chapter 17 The jangling keys slipped back into Jaekani’s pocket as he rested his forehead cautiously against the iron bars. “…I’m heading back.” “Already? You’re not going to tell me about Lucas today?” Jaekani rolled his eyes. “Why would I talk about that jerk?” Lucas, who had been in the same class as Jaekani, was now fifteen and had recently gone on his first patrol after reaching adulthood. “I need to know about him since he bullies you.” “And what would…-

TZLUP Chapter 16
Chapter 16 Though Jaekani had boldly declared he would free Huikyung, he was well aware of the practical difficulties. However, it wasn’t an impossible task. The first step he took was to sneak into the slaughterhouse manager’s office. Although Jaebad, his father, had pulled himself together enough that Jaekani wasn’t being called to the slaughterhouse anymore, it didn’t mean he had no reason to visit. He used the excuse of bringing lunch for his father to enter the premises. Even though it…-

TZLUP Chapter 12
Chapter 12 ‘I guess we really did fight last time. Or maybe it was just a small argument? So… does this mean we’re fighting again? It felt more like I ran away out of embarrassment... Does that mean he’s trying to make up with me, even when I’m the one sulking?’ Jaekani didn’t want to reveal that his anger could be soothed so easily by a single flower ring, so he stubbornly shook his head. "N-no." "Why not?" Why? Jaekani hadn’t thought that far ahead and blurted out the first…-

TZLUP Chapter 15
Chapter 15 “It’s not visible?” “You can’t see it? Here.” “Where?” With each exchange, Jaekani’s index finger drew closer to Huikyung’s cheek, and by now, he was outright poking it. Puffing out his left cheek and lowering his body to emphasize the spot, Jaekani’s antics left Huikyung unable to stifle his laughter. ‘How adorable.’ Realizing he’d been tricked into touching Huikyung’s chin with his finger, Jaekani furrowed his nose in irritation. It had been such a…-

TZLUP Chapter 14
Chapter 14 “You didn’t do your homework again.” Even though Jaekani hadn’t gone to the slaughterhouse and had plenty of time, he still hadn’t completed his assignments. It wasn’t that the work was difficult; he rarely struggled with the problems, and if he did, he had Huikyung to turn to. Not submitting his homework wasn’t some form of rebellion or an attempt at communication through defiance. It was simply that Jaekani no longer saw the point of enduring such treatment just to be…-

TZLUP Chapter 13
Chapter 13 'If people are coming, there’s no way I can help Huikyung escape now. But at the very least… can I figure out why he’s locked up here instead of in a proper prison? Or why the villagers have business with him?' Lost in thought, Jaekani ignored Huikyung's warning and dashed toward the side of the building. “Damn it, Jaekani!” Huikyung cursed loudly, realizing the boy’s intentions, but being confined, there was little he could do. The side of the building was even eerier…-
