”…Esper. Esper Baek Dojin? Are you listening to me?” “Ah.” Dojin snapped out of his brief moment of reminiscing when the voice from the other end of the phone pulled him back. “Sorry. I was just thinking about something for a second.” —I asked if you knew anything about that dungeon. “Mm, I know a bit. First of all, that dungeon was a dual dungeon.” Dojin paused as he spoke. The Jeju dungeon had indeed been a dual dungeon. But something felt off about it already…- 289.6 K • Completed
- Thump— Dojin sat Jiho down on the bed. Then, as if caging him in, he planted both arms to either side of Jiho’s hips and leaned forward. Reflexively, Jiho leaned his upper body back, widening the distance between them. Even so, their faces were close, so close their noses could almost touch, tension thick in the narrow gap. “What should I do? There’s no one to interrupt us now.” Dojin murmured lowly. Something had clearly stirred him, his eyes were slightly unfocused. Jiho…

- “Y-Yeah?” “You seemed curious about it.” Dojin smiled gently and reached out toward Jiho. As if it were second nature, he tucked Jiho’s hair behind his ear and continued, “Dr. Cha said it would be better to approach the guiding issue a little more carefully for now. He suggested we first take time to talk properly, build trust gradually, and increase physical contact step by step.” “Trust…” “Of course, there’s already plenty of that.” He placed a piece of…

- He doesn’t know what state of mind he was in when they left Esper wing. ‘Ugh, this is so awkward…!’ As they exited the building, Jiho fidgeted in Dojin’s grasp. His palm had started to sweat from nervousness, and it was bothering him. “Hy-hyung. My hand…” “Why? Is it uncomfortable?” “No, no. It’s just, my hand is sweaty…” “It’s fine. Let’s just go like this.” Apparently Jiho was the only one bothered by the dampness, because Dojin instead intertwined…

- Dojin closed his eyes, exhaustion plain on his face. Just then, the Esper Director’s secretary entered. “Um, Esper Director. Did you see the news? We just got a call from the embassy.” The Esper Director took the phone from the secretary. Kwak Jiheon quickly pulled out his own phone to check the article. It hadn’t even been two weeks since the investigation into the Nevada dungeon had begun. “What… what the hell is this? They said we’d have at least one to three…

The moment Xie Yi stepped into the courtyard, he saw a group of eunuchs and guards standing nervously under a tree, looking up. Su Huaibei was trying to persuade from the ground, "Young Master, let them climb up and catch it. Your body is precious, hurry down." He paused, then looked up and saw Xu Chun climbing the tree, holding the back of his Siamese long-haired lion cat by the neck, and smiling down at him. "Brother Jiu!" The lion cat bared its teeth at him. "Meow!" Four round eyes, bright as…- 643.5 K • Completed
- After the Zhongyuan Festival, Xie Yi ordered Fang Zixing to arrange the trip to the hunting palace. Xu Chun returned to the Duke's residence and simply told them that his teacher Shen Mengzhen was taking him on a tour of the capital region for some time. Since he now had prospects and was about to become an official, he thought his mother wouldn't oppose it. After all, Lady Sheng never restricted him in such matters. Unexpectedly, Lady Sheng asked, “How long will you be gone? Your twentieth birthday is…

- The night was silent as Xu Chun listened to Xie Yi's analysis of the case. His appearance, once akin to a celestial being, now carried a hint of cold determination from someone at the pinnacle of power. This coldness, however, only intensified Xu Chun's fascination and infatuation, drawing him deeper into its allure. "So what do we do now?" Xu Chun asked. "I heard Brother Fang say that we should release Lady Chu. Won't she be in danger again?" Xie Yi shook his head. "Knowing she's under our watch, and…

- Xu Chun left the Martial Hero Marquis Manor and returned to the Duke Manor. He first had dinner with his parents, then after returning to Bamboo Branch Workshop, he found a quiet place to tell Chunxi about entering the Imperial Guard, and returning his indenture papers. "From now on, you're considered an official. With a military post under your belt, your parents will also gain prestige. I'll write a letter to my maternal grandfather's side and ask them to release your parents. Once you have earned merit…

- Xu Chun slept deeply, and when he woke up, the sun was high and bright outside his window, well past noon. He asked Wufu about the Emperor's schedule and learned that the Emperor had already finished his court session, seeing that Xu Chun was still asleep, and didn't disturb him. Instead, he returned to the Imperial Study for a brief rest and then summoned the Grand Secretariat for a meeting. Xu Chun felt uneasy, asking Wufu about the events at court and what happened to Minister Li. Wufu replied, "I…
