“Haa...” Calm down and think about what to do from now on. Getting excited won't do anything. I pressed my palms against my eyes, trying to suppress the anger welling up in my skull. First of all, I've suddenly become a criminal who assaulted the Duke. But within the next ten days, I must praise the duke's son, whom he abused, three times. ...It was hopeless. I couldn't even decide what to do first. But I had the Discernment skill. I wasn’t going to save it until it was useless, so I had…- 187.9 K • Ongoing
Whenever he reached his peak, he always looked down at me like he was staring at hunted prey. I felt that like he was about to devour me every time. The eyes of a predator, gleaming with oppressive power and possessiveness, and beneath them, I trembled with a thrill. But I can’t fall into it. I can’t let him notice. I quickly buried that feeling as if it were a secret. And then, without even realizing it, I took a step back. In that instant, Tairok’s eyes turned and focused directly on me.…- 315.1 K • Ongoing
“…I'll think about it and get back to you. I think it would be better to ask for his opinion.” It was a tempting suggestion, but he suppressed his greed. Lebel was a demon by nature, so he had no prejudice against demons, but Yutis might be different. He didn't want to torment him because of his greed. “I'm always serious.” The Celestial God muttered, seemingly resigned. It's not easy for a demon like him to suppress his greed out of consideration for others. “I…- 234.7 K • Completed
‘Let’s have lessons outside.’ The man, or more precisely the black panther, did not understand Kim Jinkyung’s words at first. He had failed to grasp exactly what the scope of the word ‘outside’ entailed. ‘Outside the house.’ Upon the added remark, the black panther stared silently at Kim Jinkyung before swatting his temple with a forepaw in a resounding smack. After that, the black panther shook off the water clinging to his body with a vigorous rustle and vanished swiftly into the…- 262.3 K • Completed
- Kim Jinkyung knew better than anyone that one of his few strengths was his ability to sleep soundly. It allowed him to wake up feeling refreshed every morning. But when he opened his eyes this morning, he felt with his entire body that he hadn’t been able to make use of that strength. “…Ugh…” His whole body ached as if he’d been beaten all over. It felt like he’d slept on the hard ground… “Ah!” Kim Jinkyung’s eyes flew open in shock. Looking around, he saw not his…

- Kim Jinkyung rubbed his eyes several times, unable to believe what he was seeing. Only when the acrid smoke made it nearly impossible to open his eyes did he stop. The cause of the fire was an electrical short. The firefighter explained that it was the kind of accident that often happened in old buildings. It was easy to contact the landlord, since he lived on the top floor and was now standing dumbfounded in front of the building in his pajamas. When Jinkyung saw the dazed old man’s face, he…

- As soon as he woke up, Kim Jinkyung checked the weather forecast on his phone. His hope that the rain icon might have disappeared was immediately dashed. The forecast predicted rain not only for this week but also all through next week. Was it really right to take money for teaching an animal? He had left the envelope he received two days ago on his desk untouched. If the black panther hadn’t understood the lesson, he planned to refund the money. He waited to see if he would receive a message…

- There’s a short story by Hyun Jingeon called A Lucky Day that he learned about in middle school Korean class. Of all the literary works he studied, that one was etched in his memory because of the main character’s final line that closed the story. ‘Strangely enough, I had good luck today…’ That last line, which could serve as the very symbol of irony, hadn’t left his mind all day. Right after he got off the subway, the next train came. When he checked the bus schedule, the bus he…

- Kim Jinkyung could tell that his friend was trying to comfort him in his own way. ‘Thanks.’ ‘If you’re grateful, just... pack your suitcase.’ The flight Seo Sangil booked departed early tomorrow morning. He booked the earliest ticket out of fear that Kim Jinkyung might change his mind, but because it had a layover in Abu Dhabi, the departure time became complicated. The airport at dawn was quieter than expected. It was originally a 1:30 AM flight, but due to maintenance issues, the…

- “I’m sorry.” Kim Jinkyung went to Seo Sangil’s place, and the moment the door opened, he dropped to his knees in the entryway. “Sorry. I’m really sorry. I was wrong. I have no excuse. This is completely my fault.” He had completely forgotten the friend who bought him a plane ticket to Australia and even asked his uncle to arrange a place for him to stay. “……” “Sangil. I was really wrong. I won’t ask you to forgive me. I seriously messed up…” The moment he saw…
