Qiu Haiyan’s face darkened. “Are you actually talking back to me now!?” Neck stiff, Qiu Shuohai shot back, “Talking back? The hell, I’m just telling the truth! If it weren’t for that Zheng guy, what could you even do? You can’t accomplish a damn thing. If I had some rich partner like you, do you think I’d still be stuck at home? I’d already be a boss by now!” Qiu Haiyan was furious. “You think I’m living off a man? If I really were, I’d already have a house, already be…- 335.0 K • Completed
- It seemed to be getting colder by the day. Qiu Xuning had to put on an extra sweater and wrap a gray scarf around his neck just to barely keep out the wind that slipped through every gap. When he left the house that morning, Zhou Mingmei slipped fifty yuan and a boiled egg into his pocket, telling him, “Don’t come back for lunch. I need to help your sister at the pig farm, so I won’t have time to cook. Go get yourself something decent to eat outside and don’t just eat at the cafeteria.” The…

- His face was still flushed, the redness spreading across his ears and neck in uneven shades, even his eyes rimmed with red that hadn’t faded at all. He rubbed his eyes with his hand and muttered, “Hurry up and eat the noodles, they’re going to get cold.” He Zhiyuan looked at him and said, “If you wanted to tattle, you shouldn’t have said it out loud.” Qiu Xuning propped his elbows on the table, both hands covering half his face, leaving only his eyes exposed as he looked at He Zhiyuan.…

Upset over losing the game, Jae-an paced before the liquor cabinet. Jae-rim knew he wanted a drink but waited deliberately until he asked aloud. “Can I drink?” Stared at silently, he quickly added, “Just a little.” Jae-rim walked to the cabinet, pulling out a whiskey. The bottle was sturdy enough to crack a skull without breaking; the glass was plastic, of course. Preparing simple snacks, Jae-an couldn’t wait, sipping the strong liquor neat. Gulping it quickly alone, his light brown…- 110.9 K • Ongoing
- Jae-an, mashing the controller buttons, pouted. Having been soundly defeated by an AI set to "easy difficulty," Jae-an turned off the console game and switched to the tablet. Matching colors to burst blocks—a game with no winning or losing, just simple clicking—wasn't difficult, but without anyone letting him win, it was boring. The living room phone rang at that moment. Setting down the tablet, Jae-an answered. "Playing games." "Just…." "Huh? You're coming…

- They arrived at a nearby animal hospital. The veterinarian startled upon seeing the blood-matted puppy cradled in Jae-an's arms. Emergency treatment began immediately. Seo Jae-rim caught Jae-an's hand, which was nervously fidgeting with his thigh, and held it down. Unlike his usual way of subtly withdrawing, Jae-an kept his hand clasped, saying nothing. Some time later, the veterinarian announced the surgery was complete and led them into the examination room. Pulling up X-ray images, the doctor…

- Jae-an opened his swollen eyes with difficulty and stared blankly at the ceiling. His memory was fragmented, stuttering. As he tried to recall yesterday's events, he muttered a small curse and rubbed his cheek. Had he really clung to him saying not to abandon him…? A wave of self-disgust washed over him at the thought of mumbling nonsense while drunk. Rolling only his eyes, he checked the clock. The sun was already high in the sky. He'd wasted the entire morning because of the hangover. Unlike other…

- Jae-an, who had collapsed into sleep as if seized by a fit, stirred awake and pushed himself up. An unexpected sound of footsteps. He walked straight to the dining room and saw Seo Jae-rim cooking, his back turned. "Perfect timing. I was just about to wake you." "…You're early." "Yes. Since Hyung was being so well-behaved today, I wanted to come sooner." As he tilted the wok, rosé pasta slid into a bowl. Jae-an carried it to the table. Seo Jae-rim plated the short rib steak, set it down, and…

- Combos exploded in succession. Jae-an, moving his fingers frantically, flinched and lifted his head. The living room phone rang. Reflexively checking the clock, Jae-an's face clouded with confusion. Seo Jae-rim didn't call during the day. Out of habit, he mentally scrolled through his recent actions, wondering if he'd done something wrong, but nothing came to mind. In the meantime, the combo that had been running for twelve consecutive hits broke. A flash of irritation crossed his face, but he…

- Lee Jae-an, whose reason had become clouded, forgot the joy of reading he once cherished and the mathematical formulas he once knew. Slowly but surely, he was in the process of erasing and discarding the things he possessed, one by one. It was pitiful to see him clutching a game console all day, but Seo Jae-rim felt it was unavoidable in order to eliminate the desire for death that was eating away at the older man's heart. Only a season ago, Lee Jae-an had attempted suicide without a single line of…
