KTSR | Chapter 9
A little later, Ijin stood in the paddock. If this had been an official racetrack, the audience could have adjusted their bets based on the condition of the horses, but that wasn't possible here. Only additional betting was allowed, and the amount had to be higher than the initial bet. However, despite such rules, additional betting was quite frequent. Ijin reached out and stroked Clover's rump. The muscles moved evenly without any bulging. The amount of sweat was also just right. "It's okay.…-

KTSR | Chapter 8
After the somber tone, there came a sound of excitement as if recounting heroic tales. "Then we..." "If this gets resolved and big money starts coming in again, we survive. If not..." The team leader drew his thumb across his throat. "Either we get our fingers cut off and buried at sea or climb back up from being goons." "..." "Hey, Seon Ijin." As Kkeobi's face darkened, the team leader now called out to Ijin. "Yes." "You did well with your sweet smile, didn't you?" At those…-

"Is this where you buy the horse racing tickets?" I could barely make out the sun-kissed skin through the thick fog, not to mention the tattoos covering it with no rhyme or reason. "Why aren't you answering?" As I slowly lifted my gaze from those thick forearms, I saw a man in a Hawaiian shirt and a leather jacket, looking like he was about to embark on a journey. Unlike all the other customers who had come so far, he wasn't wearing a hat. He was unabashed, as if he had nothing to hide. His…-

KTSR | Chapter 6
It took two shampoos for the smell of horse manure to finally disappear. Cleaning up after the morning practice was also Ijin’s responsibility, and it was certainly more difficult than the cleaning done before the session. The day went by in a blur, with each jockey too battered to even exchange words at the cafeteria, their heads down, buried in their trays. After another grueling day, nightmares plagued his sleep until he was awoken by the crowing of a rooster, and he limped outside. This time…-

KTSR | Chapter 5
― Ahh! Seon Ijin was forcibly bent by a strong force as he was dragged away. Forced to kneel, Ijin was beaten for days. The carefully timed and executed beatings were akin to torture. Despite the strange atmosphere surrounding him, Ijin didn’t care. He believed as long as he and Clover did well, that’s all that mattered. Was that the problem? Was he too arrogant? Was this why he was dragged into a bigger shadow under collective responsibility? If ignoring the incomprehensible advice and bizarre…-

Two hours later, the mayor, now quite tipsy, got into the car. “I’ll make sure to put in a good word with the chairman.” “Sure. Chairman Choi—I’ve heard a lot about him. They say he’s a real man with a big heart, hic. I’ve wanted to greet him for a long time, hic. This is great. Hic.” The mayor, hiccuping repeatedly, gave an address that wasn't his home. He was so out of it that he was openly calling out the name of his mistress instead of his wife. Kwon Hyeongdo memorized the…-

Ijin staggered out. Even though he overslept, no one came to wake him up. Tomorrow was race day, but it felt like his legs were spread so wide they would never come together again. The hole was so numb he was afraid to touch it to check. His eyes were swollen, and the lingering cough from his cold drained all his energy. He coughed dryly and brewed a strong cup of yulmu tea. He had no appetite, so he drank yulmu tea four times. Sitting blankly, he kept typing on the keyboard, but he kept getting the…-

KTSR | Chapter 42
Ijin was in a daze, his exposed arms and chest heaving with excitement. "What, what are you doing?" "It's your first time, right? What guy wouldn't be excited? If there is one, he's an idiot. Go on, do more." "Do more of what? You crazy bastard, move. I have a race, a competition...." Ijin’s resistance was weak, as he wasn’t in his best condition. His feeble struggle—like trying to clear fog—only made Hyeongdo feel a tender excitement. He wanted to hold him tight, soothe him, and once…-

"It hurts if you get hit in the groin, right?" Kwon Hyeongdo seemed to have the same thought. It hurt his pride to think he was on the same level as that guy. "Right? It hurts, doesn't it?" The problem was that Kwon Hyeongdo's nonsense didn't stop there. Seon Ijin glared at Kwon Hyeongdo like crazy at the sound of him scratching his head. Then he suddenly stood up. Kwon Hyeongdo chuckled and tugged at Ijin's arm. "Where are you going? Are you sulking?" "I'm going back. Even if I have to…-
