Morning broke, but the winter sunlight was faint, filtering through the gaps in the curtains and casting soft shadows on the bed where Ji Yan and Xiang Yang lay entwined. It was just past eight when Ji Yan’s phone buzzed, the vibration loud enough in the quiet dawn to rouse a sleeping person. Ji Yan frowned, then snapped awake. Gently lifting the arm around his waist to avoid waking Xiang Yang, he slipped out of bed, retrieved his phone from his backpack, and moved to the farthest corner of the room…- 88.2 K • Completed
“Thank you.” After ending the call, Eunsol handed the phone back to its owner. “I’m glad you got through. Then I’ll get going now.” The woman smiled as she took the phone, but when she tried to leave, Eunsol quickly called out to her. “Wait a second!” “Yes?” When the woman asked with a confused expression, Eunsol told her to wait for a moment and opened the trunk. There were two large suitcases and one smaller one arranged in a row. Jaebeom had organized them…- 182.2 K • Completed
Only one among the envoys still refused to give up on meeting Lebel. That envoy, unlike the others, was persistent. He lingered near the annex where Lebel lived, and he even had the tenacity to come right up to the entrance. It was unpleasant. Lebel still hadn’t figured out why that being hid among the envoys, pretending to be human, and yet it clung to him so obsessively. He began to wonder if it might be the very figure mentioned in the letter, the one said to be his secret contact, the one who…- 265.7 K • Completed
The warm tea had been served, but my biological father’s well-wishes went on for quite a while. He fussed, saying he felt relieved seeing the two of us getting along, that he had a feeling we’d be hearing some good news soon. I gave half-hearted responses. My stepmother watched the mood and threw in a few indifferent remarks. Baek Mugyeong didn’t touch his tea and sat silently. It was my stepmother who finally got to the point after the small talk. “Minchae.” “Yes.” “I heard…- 281.3 K • Completed
“……” Yeorok spent a long time reading the document in his hand. The contract was completely nullified. The weight on his shoulders was finally gone. Now that everything was settled, his resolve to keep Eunho with him for the rest of his life only grew stronger. Yeorok put the contract, a reminder of his past choices and his flaws, back into the envelope and sealed it deep inside the drawer. Knock knock. A small knock came from outside the study. He softly smiled as he recognized…- 258.7 K • Completed
I felt carsick the whole taxi ride. Jung Pureum kept stroking my back next to me, asking if I was okay. The taxi driver, perhaps worried I might throw up in the car, rolled down his window. The air, full of fine dust, actually made me feel a little less dizzy. "Maybe it's because my stomach is empty..." "Should we drop off the luggage and go get something to eat?" "No, I just want to rest today." Originally, my plan was to take Jung Pureum out and buy him something to eat. Although Jung…- 199.5 K • Ongoing
In truth, Hayeon was already exhausted. She had forcibly drawn out the innate celestial energy within her since birth to display overwhelming martial strength. It was only natural for her body to collapse. Had she been in her usual condition, she would never have paid attention to the murmured words of a gentle-looking orthodox warrior. Only after blood gushed from her chest did Hayeon realize she had failed to notice the ambush. She had no choice but to admit defeat. To think she had let her guard…- 253.5 K • Completed
That night, Zed and Harto decided to go to bed early. Because of the long days of travel, Zed was also exhausted, and the moment he lay on the bed, his eyelids grew heavy. “……” But before falling asleep, he felt a strange emptiness. ‘Zed… can I sleep with you…?’ Whenever they camped, Harto, in his monster form, always curled up beside him to sleep. It had been the same in the inn at Belnok, so Zed hadn’t minded before. But now it was different. Zed turned his head and…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
“...Hello?” A clear, gentle voice that rarely stumbled over words came through the phone. Suho closed his eyes as if tired and answered. “Yeah.” “Why did you call earlier?” As if his earlier confidence had been an illusion, Jaeyoung spoke in his usual, overly timid voice. Regardless, Suho slightly furrowed his closed eyelids and responded. “Tomorrow?” “I’m not sure what Christmas has to do with me.” “…...” As if afraid of upsetting…- 37.2 K • Ongoing
“It also serves the purpose of expanding the Taeyang Guild’s scale a little more. The Sunrise Team depended entirely on a single unit, but the Taeyang Guild cannot do that. Considering the Great Rift, our team will have to operate overseas in the future, so we need to recruit more personnel and establish a more systematic dispatch system….” While Yohan was listening carefully to these matters, he felt a presence. Everyone turned their heads, and soon there was a knock on the door. A moment later…- 297.5 K • Completed
