Jungyoon tickled the bridge of Jaeri's nose and said. The nose was high but small and smooth. "This teacher you're going to meet this time is really a good person." "Yes." He knew that Dr. Han was skilled in his field, but unlike his prickly exterior, he was a person with a warm heart. Moreover, he had a persistent curiosity about individuals' inner worlds. There was a high possibility that he would empathize with Jaeri's deep-rooted depression. He was a person with a broad scope of acceptance,…- 124.1 K • Ongoing

- In response to Jaeri’s hasty refusal, Jungyoon offered another option. “If you don’t like that, how about I lock you up safely at home? Choose.” It couldn’t be said that Jaeri had no romantic notions about being a college student. After all, it was the blueprint that had helped him endure his suffocating high school life. For his hyung to watch over everything would mean he would have to live a college life like a high schooler, or even worse than a high schooler. In any case, Jaeri…

- “By the way, Jaeri, I heard you used your noona’s card to buy alcohol.” “Gack… ahem…” Startled by the sudden attack, the choked Jaeri quickly pulled out a tissue and covered his mouth. Heejeon quickly got him a cup of water and gently patted his back. Even amidst this, Yoonjae kept her arms crossed and glared at Jaeri. “Ah, thank you. I’m okay now.” “Do you know how much I got chewed out by my oppa? I know his personality better than anyone, and I did it because I wanted…

- “They’re similar.” — …That’s right, since you called, there’s something I need to discuss. The group's legal planning office is conducting a legal review regarding the purchase of Hanyoung Corporation’s treasury stock... “Are you not making much money these days?” — Ah. What now? “You should have bought something expensive and delicious. For a kid whose appetite has returned for the first time in a while.” Jungyoon lowered his gaze to look at the kid whose appetite…

- Jungyoon would easily give permission if there was no problem, and if something was not allowed, he would simply explain the reason and not permit it. Every time that happened, Jaeri would think, what was so difficult about this? Still, what was difficult remained difficult. Even after receiving his noona’s card, he felt more guilt than excitement at the widened range of choices. When there was something he really wanted to do, but for some reason, it was too hard to tell his hyung. He had thought he…

- What Jungyoon told him to remember was that alcohol was not allowed, but Jaeri forgot the truly important words and engraved only the command to remember. The combination of the word ‘remember’ and the phrase ‘permanent scar’ quite pleased him. Jaeri liked his hyung’s way. Don't look at or listen to anything else, just listen to me. Do only as I say. Doing as he said was easy. But come to think of it, there was no one who listened to his hyung’s words as well as he did, so he thought that…

- The room was dimly lit, illuminated by lamps placed here and there without any direct lighting. There were only five or six tables, and in front of them, plush sofas were arranged in a circle. Each seating area was partially concealed by a yellowish-painted concrete wall on one side. The concrete wall had a rectangular opening, as if it were a window, which did nothing for soundproofing but served faithfully as a psychological barrier. The music didn't cut across the space but seemed to embrace it,…

- The three days passed by in a pale blur, as if diluted in water. During that time, Jaeri didn't even eat properly and was scolded once by Jungyoon. He was punished by having to stand with his hands raised for a full hour. The punishment only ended when his arms hurt so much that a tear welled up from the misery. For those three days, it was as if gaping holes were being punched in a corner of his heart, to the point he wondered if he had switched to a depressive state. Every time a hole appeared, if he…

- “You're an excellent doctor. If you weren't, I wouldn't have entrusted Jaeri to you.” — …Thank you, Kim Jungyoon. “The diagnosis of childhood depression will be a great help in his treatment.” The brief phone call ended. Sometimes, when he thought of her, he felt a feeling like looking at a faded photograph. This time, meeting and talking with her, and speaking on the phone, he would occasionally recall those times, but now the same memory was just crisp at the edges, like looking at a…
