“Hahaha!” The emperor burst into laughter—a hearty, uninhibited sound that paid no mind to decorum. Yudit sensed immediately that he had given the right answer. “You speak better than I expected, Prince. A pity this is our first private audience.” “I am honored.” “I did wonder how you managed to win over the Duke… Seems your tongue played its part.” The emperor looked at Yudit with a pleased smile. “Very well. Let Aldrich’s crimes be pardoned.” “…Thank…- 396.9 K • Completed
Kim Jaewon and Jo Seontae were criminals who would do anything as long as they were paid. They were especially notorious for filming sexual assaults to blackmail victims for money. They claimed they didn’t know who had hired them, only that they’d received my name, photo, and address from a private detective agency director and had followed me around for over a week. My routine was fairly simple: home, school, and cram school. Since I moved around by car and always went to crowded places with…- 281.3 K • Completed
… When Xu Xishuang woke up, the sun was already slanting westward. The curtains in the hospital room were half-drawn, and the golden light of sunset looked a lot like the soft glow of early morning. Xu Xishuang slowly sat up, momentarily unable to tell how long he had slept—he even thought it was the next morning. Yan Yushan was sitting not far from the bed. Seeing him wake, he immediately put down his phone and walked over to ask, “Feeling any better?” Strangely, after the nap, Xu…- 248.3 K • Completed
- While Xu Xishuang was chatting with Guoguo, on the other side, Tang Min was contacting the internet troll team he had worked with for years. Ever since the recording of that episode of Can I Like You, Tang Min had been on edge for several days, having people keep a constant eye on any online activity. After several days, Xu Xishuang hadn’t released any information, Yan Yushan hadn’t made any moves, and the staff who were present at the time hadn’t said a word. They all knew Tang Min had…

Huo Yinshi hadn’t expected to run into Wen Chi here. Haining wasn’t a small city, so to randomly end up at the same sushi restaurant, this had to be fate. He glanced around and, not seeing any camera crew, he asked, “Aren’t you filming a show?” “Yeah,” Wen Chi replied cheerfully. Seeing a good friend unexpectedly like this made him genuinely happy. “Then what about...” Huo Yinshi paused, “...the cameramen and stuff?” “We’re eating out, so it’s inconvenient to have a…- 257.5 K • Completed
Seo Yakrin merely circled in wide arcs across the sky, reluctant to attack outright. Judging by the movement of her enormous right pupil, larger than Yohan’s head, she seemed to be gauging Lee Hyunmook’s reactions. Yet her other eye, the left one, rolled restlessly as it persistently tracked Yoon Seungryong. “Hey! Old hag! Come here! Let’s make it a fair four-on-one fight!” Though Yoon Seungryong’s taunt was downright shameless, the situation itself wasn’t. It was a testament to how…- 297.5 K • Completed
- “What’s this about?” Baek Mugyeong had reserved a conference room in the lounge of the hotel where he was staying. Since it was a public meeting space, one wall and the door were glass, making the inside clearly visible. He had arrived first, and the moment I stepped in and closed the door, he cut straight to the point. The man didn’t even sit down. The atmosphere made it clear he wanted to get this over with and leave. I remembered how he had threatened me last week to run away. Compared…

- After laying down for quite a while, Xu Xishuang flipped his phone screen-down onto the blanket, rubbed his sore lower back, and pushed himself up with his arms. His heartbeat had returned to normal. He picked up his phone again and typed out a message in the chat box, sending it to Yan Yushan. Xu Xishuang: “Why didn’t you go to that variety show recording?” He was sure Yan Yushan would know exactly which show he meant. Yan Yushan: “It wasn’t anything important. Liang Feng was just…

The flurry of hands packing the bag was frantic. Normally, Moonhyuk would stack his workbooks neatly in size order, but today they were all jumbled together. His mechanical pencil and pen, which had been resting on top of the books, rolled into the bag without making it into the pencil case. His heart raced. If he said he wasn’t flustered by Dohee’s message, that he was already waiting in front of the main gate, it would be a lie. – Hurry up, hyung. I missed you. That quiet voice, tinged…- 239.0 K • Completed
The spacious warehouse echoed with music that kept starting and stopping. Every time it played a few lines, it would cut off, only to start again from the beginning less than a minute later. “Fuck!” Completely fed up, Shi Yi finally cursed out loud and reluctantly crawled over Ying Ming’s body to search for the phone they had apparently tossed somewhere the night before. Without his glasses, his vision was a blur. He nearly tripped and fell several times. After finally fishing the phone out…- 283.2 K • Completed
