He opened his eyes feeling disoriented. Darkness had settled outside the window, and only a few indirect lights gave off a glow inside the officetel. …When did I fall asleep on the sofa? He murmured in confusion as he looked at the clothes different from what he remembered and the blanket spread over his body. Then a cup of warm tea suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his head. A person who should not have been there pressed a mug into his hand with a calm…- 160.1 K • Completed
- Why am I dreaming? Hamin stepped on the creaking wooden floor in a sudden lucid dream. It had been a long time since he heard a floor groan because it could not hold the weight of one adult. In the dream he was a kindergarten child. The classroom was noisy because of the once-a-year parent observation day. The children wriggled in their seats because they wanted to run to their parents quickly, and the teacher sweated as she tried to calm them down. Am I playing the parent role? He stood…

- “Sunbae, should I buy you a car?” “What kind of car?” “That expensive one.” Hamin turned his head. Because he was held in Jaeha’s arms, his temple bumped against Jaeha’s chin. What expensive car… English black tea? (Benz) Jaeha saw his mouth form those words silently and pointed his finger toward the large TV. On the screen, the male lead stepped out from the driver’s seat of a luxury imported car. That was the car? He let out a hollow laugh. Pressing his face…

- “I still haven’t forgiven you, sunbae.” The sudden topic made Hamin turn his head. Everyone’s eyes shifted to Ji Eunah, who puffed out her cheeks while holding her chin with both hands. Because it was a subject everyone had silently avoided, Kim Seoryeong and Koo Chaewook wore restless faces. All resentment toward Hamin had yielded when people said it was because Han Jaeha’s mother passed away, but that did not mean their disappointment melted away too. The group chat that was always…

- “It has become quite hard to see your face.” “From now on it will become even harder to see me.” Jaeha’s biting reply, which he had never heard before, made Heo Jaehyeon’s raise his eyebrows slightly. Even though Jaeha had grown under a lacking mother, he had been a child who knew how to act in a way Jaehyeon liked, but recently Jaehyeon felt that Jaeha had begun to go crooked, and now it looked like he had gone as far as rebellion. Was it belated puberty? Jaehyeon clicked his…

- Most people say that when someone starts to like another person, the narrow world expands and the person walks out toward somewhere broader. They say that because of that, the first time one invites someone else into a life where only oneself existed, it can’t help but become a thrilling and joyful thing. But the first love that came to him was very different from what people usually described. The background disappeared as though someone had rubbed it away clumsily with an eraser, and only that…

- “Why didn’t you say that Jaeha had talent in painting?” “…Jaeha?” “Yes! Even I, a layman, saw that it was unusual, so I showed it to Director Lee. Ah, you know Director Lee, right? He runs a gallery in Cheongdam.” “Yes, I know him.” “Director Lee said that if he gets proper teaching, he could become great.” Mother looked at Father, who suddenly came by and babbled with a wide grin, as if she saw a ghost. “Our Jaeha had talent in art. Right? One artist will come out…

- The accident footage confirmed through the black box did not feel realistic. Uncle Seungho and Mother quarreled loudly for more than thirty minutes, and in the end, Mother failed to contain her anger and she hit his torso hard. She clearly had not been in her right mind to lay a hand on someone driving a car. Uncle Seungho’s arm twisted from the recoil, and misfortune made the full shock slam into the driver’s side, so he died instantly on the spot. Mother’s limbs fractured, but she barely…

- He tried to prepare, and he saw that he had no black suit. Nobody had ever told him that he needed at least one suit, so it was natural. He walked into some department store and bought the darkest black clothing he could find. The sleeves and pants were a little short, but no guests would come to offer condolences anyway, so it did not matter. The way to the mourning hall took only forty minutes, but it felt like forty days had passed and his body was exhausted. When he stepped into the desolate…

- The next project was decided as a courtroom drama. When he answered, as always, I will do my best, to the agency’s encouragement that said, this time grit your teeth and try, they even submitted the application themselves and told him to attend a trial before the script reading. He wanted to refuse the troublesome arrangement, but when he heard that the lawyer was a peer who had been gaining much attention lately, he felt a small interest. If he was his age, then he would not be considered old in…
