The villagers, who had been so thrilled to see Yudit just moments ago, began glancing at one another nervously at his question. Yudit didn’t press them. Instead, he studied their shifting gazes. In the silence, eyes started to settle on a single person—that alone was answer enough. And there he was, exactly who Yudit had expected. Eden. Yudit gave him a look of exasperation. Eden stood inside the cell, arms folded, wearing a relaxed smile. It was either him or Diego—Yudit had guessed as much…- 396.9 K • Completed
- Yudit truly had come knowing everything. Cold sweat trickled down Pavron’s spine. “T-That’s… a misunderstanding. I meant to write that in someone else’s diary but mixed it up. I erased it right away, but how did you…?” Just as Yvonne said, when the back of the diary was held up to sunlight, the words, though scratched over, appeared clearly beneath the lines. Yudit read every word and stood stunned. Then rage surged up in him. “The moment your abuse began was when Luka confided…

- The dining table was large enough to seat ten people, yet the spread atop it was simple—mushroom soup, steak, a salad of corn and greens, and cheese mixed with honey-soaked figs and apricots. “Thank you for the meal.” “There’s plenty, so eat as much as you like.” As soon as Yudit took a spoonful of the mushroom soup, the tension in his face eased. The unembellished soup was mild and smooth, slipping easily down his throat. The other dishes were also lightly seasoned, making them easy…

It was hard to hope that the kid’s were safe. “Did you find any clues?” “Yes. But I think it’ll be difficult to locate the missing students.” Frederick and the princess’s expression turned gloomy. Time had already passed without anyone knowing exactly when the disappearances happened, so it wasn’t unexpected, but the bitterness was another matter. Kian slowly scanned the entries the princess had chosen. Then he leaned in and spoke in a low voice. “Our goal is to make sure…- 204.1 K • Canceled
“You!” My biological father shouted, his face twisted as if he’d just been betrayed. But maybe because we were in front of Baek Jinseok, he couldn’t bring himself to say more. “Chairman Jeong. Do I have to repeat myself? Sit down.” Baek Jinseok didn’t give him any leeway. As the atmosphere turned cold, my father finally stood up from his seat. He sat to Baek Jinseok’s left, while Baek Mugyeong and I sat on his right. I didn’t want to face my father directly, so I had Baek…- 281.3 K • Completed
- His lungs burned—not just from being out of breath, but with real pain. His mouth tasted of blood, and his vision blurred. And still, Aeryl didn’t stop running. He ran and ran. Because he had no destination, he couldn’t stop. Then suddenly, his foot caught on a raised brick. He couldn’t keep his balance and tumbled forward, hard. Thud! “Ugh!” The impact jolted through his entire body, leaving him stunned. Because of that, he didn’t notice right away the pair of brown boots…

- — 6 — The young man standing in the corner spoke up. "Because I was only sixteen at the time too," he said, his voice carrying a tremor that was clearly being forcibly suppressed. "I'm sorry, Faye." That name made Franz tremble uncontrollably. For a moment, he felt as though he was back in the past, his ear pressed to the receiver, hearing the voice on the other end say, "Hey, Faye," as if his suspended heart had suddenly settled perfectly back into his chest, filled with relief and comfort, then…

A dazzling halo illuminated Yohan, as if he were standing with his back to a pillar of light. Wrapped in the divine power he had drawn up, Yohan took a step toward the griffin, but the mad griffin backed away. Yohan met its eyes and reached out. When he didn’t move any closer, the griffin whimpered softly, watching him. After a moment, it slowly approached. The madness in its eyes subsided, and life returned to them. Regaining its senses, the divine beast lowered its head and nudged Yohan’s…- 291.0 K • Ongoing
There was no sign of anyone in the annex. It was dark and desolate. Yeorok looked around the house, then went upstairs. Even on the second floor, the stillness was the same. His slow steps led him to one specific place as if he already knew where to go. Dim light leaked through the crack under Eunho’s closed door. Yeorok stopped in front of it. He was about to knock but instead turned the doorknob. When he stepped inside, the familiar room felt strangely foreign. Nothing had actually changed, yet…- 240.1 K • Completed
- Aeryl covered his mouth with both hands. He had nearly screamed. ‘The Grand Duke likes me?’ So all that hugging, all those strange touches—was it because he liked him? ‘Calm down, Aeryl. It’s still an unverified theory.’ He tried to recall if the Grand Duke had ever shown signs of affection. To start, the Grand Duke rarely expressed emotion, and it wasn’t just Aeryl—others had said the same. But he had smiled in front of Aeryl, rare as that was. ‘His smile’s…
