“Teacher. Do you know what a boiling point is? You must know. Since you are a brilliant person with a good head who attends a fine university.” Sarcasm toward the other party filled every single word. The bodyguards who had tried to stop Mok Seongha and ended up getting beaten that day and requiring hospital care numbered two alone. Mok Seongha stopped only after he had swung the chair until his anger was fully vented. “…Yes. I know.” “Every person has a boiling point, right? Usually,…- 262.3 K • Completed
- Upset over losing the game, Jae-an paced before the liquor cabinet. Jae-rim knew he wanted a drink but waited deliberately until he asked aloud. “Can I drink?” Stared at silently, he quickly added, “Just a little.” Jae-rim walked to the cabinet, pulling out a whiskey. The bottle was sturdy enough to crack a skull without breaking; the glass was plastic, of course. Preparing simple snacks, Jae-an couldn’t wait, sipping the strong liquor neat. Gulping it quickly alone, his light brown…

If the box had contained the most precious gold and jewels in the world, she would have thrown it away. But the reality was the exact opposite. Inside was a single insignificant tree leaf. Its shape, however, was unusual. It was split into five lobes like a maple leaf, but the tips were blunt like human fingers, and the splits were deep. This plant grew only in one remote region at the far end of the Tubain Continent, the homeland of Black Bear. But she had last seen that tree several decades ago.…- 315.1 K • Ongoing
“While looking into where your mother’s ashes were enshrined, I found out that your maternal grandmother and aunt are in the United States.” I froze at the completely unexpected news. I had asked him to check where my birth mother’s ashes were, but I never imagined he would track down her side of the family too. I hesitated, wondering if I should say I already knew, when Baek Mugyeong continued. “I received the official report last night. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was worried…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Jae-an, mashing the controller buttons, pouted. Having been soundly defeated by an AI set to "easy difficulty," Jae-an turned off the console game and switched to the tablet. Matching colors to burst blocks—a game with no winning or losing, just simple clicking—wasn't difficult, but without anyone letting him win, it was boring. The living room phone rang at that moment. Setting down the tablet, Jae-an answered. "Playing games." "Just…." "Huh? You're coming…

- They arrived at a nearby animal hospital. The veterinarian startled upon seeing the blood-matted puppy cradled in Jae-an's arms. Emergency treatment began immediately. Seo Jae-rim caught Jae-an's hand, which was nervously fidgeting with his thigh, and held it down. Unlike his usual way of subtly withdrawing, Jae-an kept his hand clasped, saying nothing. Some time later, the veterinarian announced the surgery was complete and led them into the examination room. Pulling up X-ray images, the doctor…

- Jae-an opened his swollen eyes with difficulty and stared blankly at the ceiling. His memory was fragmented, stuttering. As he tried to recall yesterday's events, he muttered a small curse and rubbed his cheek. Had he really clung to him saying not to abandon him…? A wave of self-disgust washed over him at the thought of mumbling nonsense while drunk. Rolling only his eyes, he checked the clock. The sun was already high in the sky. He'd wasted the entire morning because of the hangover. Unlike other…

- Combos exploded in succession. Jae-an, moving his fingers frantically, flinched and lifted his head. The living room phone rang. Reflexively checking the clock, Jae-an's face clouded with confusion. Seo Jae-rim didn't call during the day. Out of habit, he mentally scrolled through his recent actions, wondering if he'd done something wrong, but nothing came to mind. In the meantime, the combo that had been running for twelve consecutive hits broke. A flash of irritation crossed his face, but he…

This was the first time he had ever behaved like this toward anyone. Before coming here, he hadn’t even been a trait holder, and he had always tried hard not to pick fights over trivial matters. Maybe because of that, he couldn’t stop trembling. But he tried not to show Park Seunghyun how shaken he was. Fortunately, the car meant to take Eunsol was already waiting. ‘Just a little longer.’ His mouth felt completely dry. His heart was pounding so rapidly it felt like not only he but…- 182.2 K • Completed
- As she entered the set, Im Seolye smiled with her eyes. She didn’t know what conversation had passed between Eunsol and Park Seunghyun, but facing Park Seunghyun directly, she had seen the smug alpha male lead’s face crumple. So, she could immediately tell who the winner was between the two. “I felt it when I first saw you, but Eunsol-ssi, you are bold.” “…Thank you.” It was probably a compliment. In the entertainment industry, such words could be sarcastic, but from what he’d…
