‘.…!’ Jiho’s consciousness stirred violently. Just like before, he struggled, twisted his body, and shook his head wildly. ‘Just a little more, just a little more…’ Only one minute and thirty seconds remained. He could see the team members trying to attack the dream demon from behind, and the dream demon dragging Jiho’s body to respond to them. As she watched Alpha Team hesitate because of Jiho, the dream demon delighted like a child. “If you sacrifice just this one…- 289.6 K • Completed
“A debate?” “It’s when scholars discuss a shared topic. I imagine this format is meant to keep the conversation from turning emotional and to help with mediation. As for the report… it’s about us.” The report was a compilation based on what Aeryl had heard from both the Grand Duke and Lady Merel. It sorted out their misunderstandings and prejudices, and tried to verify what was true. It even included testimonies from people who knew the Grand Duke’s household well, like Rynello and…- 279.4 K • Completed
At a glance, the fluffy bread, the fresh cream melting softly over it, and the strawberries prettily dusted with powdered sugar made his mouth water. He didn’t love the idea of having to share this, but he still carefully divided the bread into bite-sized pieces, neatly placed a strawberry on top, and brought it to his mouth. He opened his small mouth as wide as he could to eat the sweet soufflé in one big bite, but at that moment, his eyes met Minhyuk’s. “……” He froze before he even…- 37.2 K • Ongoing
Even drunk, Yeorok's eyes remained pitch-black, as if covered by a dark vein. His gaze, slightly unfocused, lingered on Eunho, uncharacteristically filled with desire. “……” Eunho's breath caught in his throat. Instinctively, his body froze and he took a step back. But Yeorok reached out before he could escape. He pulled Eunho, still acting defiant, into his arms. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you doing this!” Haa, Yeorok let out a sigh of exhaustion. Thoughts flooded through his…- 258.7 K • Completed
Miguel couldn't quite figure out which version of the ending he should accept— Option one: Caesar died, vanishing from this world forever. Option two: Honestly accept the fact that the man was still alive somewhere in the world, breathing the same air under the same sky, but from a certain moment onward, no one would ever find him again. As the price for breaking his family's curse, his time would forever stagnate on a land no one had ever set foot on. Option three: Fuck it all. For the past…- 221.3 K • Completed
- The voice was unmistakable. “You’re the one who’s late!” Aeryl snapped, pounding his fists on Derbas’s chest. He never raised a hand to anyone, but Derbas was the exception. With so much pent-up frustration, he could hit him without a shred of guilt. Kidnapper! Would-be murderer! Blackmailer! Of course, having never actually punched anyone before, his flailing amounted to less than a kitten’s paw swats. “Hey now, don’t move. I might drop you.” “So weak.” Aeryl…

Before attending the banquet, I prepared a roasted vegetable salad and chicken steak and had them delivered to the hideout. And now, the plates that had held the food were already spotlessly clean. Taking care of eating and even washing the dishes, how thoughtful. But the problem was me. I'm starving. The banquet ended abruptly, so I didn't get to eat properly. I need to eat something, or I'll be too hungry to sleep. Actually, ever since that first night I slept in the hideout, I've been…- 187.9 K • Ongoing
“This is the room you’ll be staying in.” Rick guided me to my room, seemingly half-hearted. It was as large as Lu’s room at Adeye, but unlike that place, which was so dazzlingly ornate, it was clean and had a distinctly old-fashioned feel. The only issue was that it faced west. And it was at the very end of the building. Well, I didn’t care whether they gave the future Grand Duke’s partner a corner room or an attic room. As long as it wasn’t next to a pigsty, this counted as a 5 star…- 323.4 K • Completed
- “Your Majesty. They say a young tree has withered and they are planting a new one. Is there a particular species you desire?” “No. I do not know much about trees, so please take care of it.” Even if they were called trees, they would all be small, ornamental ones. Although he knew that it was a rule not to plant large trees to prevent the threat of assassination, he was still disappointed. He thought of the zelkova tree where he had taken shelter from the rain with Hwi, and the hackberry…

One early morning in January, Shen Xiuqing had just arrived at the studio. Before she could even greet anyone after getting out of her car, her phone rang. It was rare for a client to call her this early in the morning; it was more likely to be a personal matter. She glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number, which led her to wonder—could it be Ji Yan? Shen Xiuqing hadn't forgotten the promise she made to Xiang Yang, but now that she was working, she didn't have a winter break like a…- 88.2 K • Completed
