Mok Seongha tightened his grip on Kim Jinkyung’s hand again. Don’t talk nonsense. A threat blossomed in Mok Seongha’s eyes. “From what I see, it looks like the young master used the teacher as a shield because he didn’t want to go on blind dates.” “……!” With his hand still being held, Kim Jinkyung nodded vigorously with his eyes, fully agreeing. “I understand that you don’t want to go on blind dates, but I can’t agree with deceiving the Chairman.” “No, we…- 262.3 K • Completed
- “Let’s go.” It wasn’t the kind of mood where he could ask what was going on. Kim Jinkyung hurriedly gathered his books. A car was waiting outside. Kim Jinkyung quickly followed behind him. Only after the car started moving did Kim Jinkyung cautiously ask about their destination. “Where are we going?” “To see the Chairman.” Mok Seongha answered while staring out the window, his expression cold. “…Is it okay for me to go too?” He remembered the time he had tried to…

- “No, I mean. That’s not what he meant, that person is….” “So to a rich kid, dogs and cows look like a beggar1? …My friend. I’m not a dog or a cow. “Dogs and cows are beggars though. Do dogs or cows have money?” It was a battlefield of ignorance so childish it was beyond words. People around them started looking over and whispering. Even the bodyguards noticed something and watched them closely. If Mok Seongha caused a scene, they’d step in. Kim Jinkyung decided it was…

- “…What brings the young master here?” Secretary Kang was surprised upon seeing Mok Seongha who had come out for breakfast. “He said the brain must stay awake in the morning.” “Who said that?” “Teacher.” Secretary Kang looked at Kim Jinkyung as though he was a bit surprised. “It seems better to adjust your lifestyle to the exam schedule. People usually do that a lot.” As they lived together, Kim Jinkyung saw Mok Seongha’s daily routine. He was a typical night owl…

- He first heard the word “ttibuseal” during a conversation with his elementary school nephew. “Ttibuseal? What’s that?” The kid showed him a sticker from a bread package, boasting proudly that it wasn’t an ordinary sticker but one you could peel off and stick on repeatedly. Then wouldn’t it be “ttebuseal” instead of “ttibuseal”?1 With that doubt, he tucked the word away in his memory. Later, after a few crushes, Kim Jinkyung recalled the ttibuseal. His crushes resembled…

- “Now please submit your answer sheets.” “……” Kim Jinkyung sat absentmindedly at the desk. The students sitting next to him stood from their seats, handed their answer sheets to the teaching assistant, and left the classroom. “Time is up. Please organize your answer sheets.” “……” While Kim Jinkyung stared at the answer sheet, the students sitting next to him stood up one by one again and left. “Please confirm your name and student number accurately, place your…

- From the time he had spent by Mok Seongha’s side so far, Kim Jinkyung had learned a few facts. Mok Seongha did not trust promises. Therefore, he documented every matter in contracts and kept them as written records. And as Secretary Kang had said, Mok Seongha did not go out except when absolutely necessary. Excluding the times he tutored outside with Kim Jinkyung, he had seen him go out only three times, and all three of those were to meet the Chairman. Mok Seongha’s obsession with university…

- “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,…

- 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…

The shop door opened from inside and closed again. Chu Baiyan stepped out right at the last minute and hurried toward the aquarium. It was supposed to be just an appointment to keep watching the making of the plate, yet for some reason, he felt like he was going on a date. Yan Anqing continued refining the figure on the worktable. The sculpture he had started couldn’t wait until the next day to continue. Even with perfect storage, the surface of the clay would still lose its texture over time. Once it…- 98.2 K • Completed
