“Wake up.” Jae-an opened his eyes to a cold voice raining down from above his head. He had kept his eyes shut, but he hadn't slept. It was because of the horrific pain blooming from his ankle, which had only worsened as time passed. Jae-an barely managed to lift his face, which was soaked in cold sweat. The bruise near his lateral malleolus had turned pitch black as the sun rose, and his ankle had swollen so much that its contours had vanished. Even the slightest movement sent pain radiating from…- 110.9 K • Ongoing
- Seo Jae-rim, who had promised to return quickly, did not come back for two days. During those two days, Jae-an managed less than four hours of sleep. Because he couldn't fall into a deep slumber and kept waking up to check every corner of the room, both the caregiver and the bodyguard lost sleep as well. Ultimately, it was only after sunrise that Jae-an drifted off, only to be awakened by a hand gently peeling back the blanket. The touch was light, shaking his shoulder softly, and the voice was…

- The hospital room fell silent after Seo Jae-rim left. Jae-an’s gaze was fixed on the space behind the blinds. He chewed over the shapes of the shadows created by the blinds, then looked away to fiddle with his blanket. A moment later, he raised his head again to watch the silhouettes behind the curtains. “It’s just a shadow.” Even when he confirmed it by speaking the words aloud, they were clearly shadows. But the moment his attention wavered even slightly, those shadows transformed into…

- Lee Jae-an was gravely ill. Even when his body had first been forced open, it hadn't been this bad. The numbers on the thermometer tucked into his small ear showed no sign of dropping below 39°C. His entire body was seething with fever. About two hours after being fed fever reducers, he would barely manage to open the eyes he had kept shut all day. Whenever Seo Jae-rim tried to feed him something then, Jae-an would inevitably throw it back up shortly after. Whether his consciousness was drifting due to…

- “…Since when did you know?” “Does knowing change anything?” At Seo Jae-rim’s excessively nonchalant reaction, Jae-an realized he had asked a stupid question. No matter when he had found out, the conclusion remained the same. Despite knowing what their two fathers had done, Seo Jae-rim had ultimately gone into heat for him. Unlike Jae-an, who had tried to avoid and shun Jae-rim after learning of their fathers' relationship, Jae-rim had wanted to resemble those disgusting men. Jae-an…

- The sound of gasps and sharp intakes of breath drew the eyes of everyone nearby, and the man, looking severely embarrassed, hurriedly fled the scene. Even after the man had gone, Jae-rim did not pull away, continuing the kiss for a long time. The sound of people whispering felt exceptionally sharp as it pierced Jae-an's ears. The moment Jae-an tried to twist his head away, Jae-rim bit down hard on his lip. He only released the grip on the nape of Jae-an's neck after he had finally torn the skin and…

- As he did any other day, Jae-an stepped out of the restaurant with an Americano in hand after finishing his tutoring session. He was no longer afraid of passing the spot where he had once been cornered by Jang Han-seong. Now, he only feared Seo Jae-rim—the man who could erase someone from existence as if they had simply evaporated. Walking slowly, Jae-an took a deep breath as he felt himself growing winded. In the past, a thirty-minute walk wouldn’t have even qualified as exercise, but after being…

“...That’s unexpected. I thought you’d get angry the moment you saw me.” “Why would I?” “You’re asking because you really don’t know?” For some reason, Minhyuk was on edge. It felt like answering that he truly did not know would cause real trouble, so Suho let out a deep sigh and met Minhyuk’s eyes. “What’s the point of getting angry? ...It’s already in the past anyway. And it’s not like you were the only one at fault. If we really get into it, I was the one who…- 37.2 K • Ongoing
- “Bland bastard.” Suho let out a short snort of laughter, a strange sense of victory washing over him, and sent a text. “…What? So he didn’t know either?” At the unexpected reply, Suho tilted his head. Minhyuk was not the type to laze around like him and neglect family matters, so Suho had assumed he would have known early on. If even he did not know, then just how impulsive had this decision been? …Did that mean they did not even intend to hear the opinions of the…

Knock knock Rick knocked on the large office door, waited a moment, then opened the door and stepped aside. “Go in.” At the sound of his voice, I took a deep breath and walked forward. Alright. Let’s do this. Tap, tap. My footsteps echoed loudly inside the office. My target was Tairok, sitting with his back to the large window. “The office is so huge,” I thought, quickly approaching. Tairok, who had been looking at the papers on the desk, looked up. For a moment, a bright light…- 316.7 K • Ongoing
