CHAPTERS
I didn’t need to gather courage. I spoke out what I thought and I turned around. “Jeong Minchae-ssi!” Baek Mugyeong blocked my way in an instant. I kicked his shin with all my strength. I wore indoors shoes here, so my toes didn’t hurt. I only wished I had worn sneakers instead of dress shoes. I ran out of the reception room, leaving Baek Mugyeong frowning behind me. Rob, who stood guard at the entrance, stopped him. I heard the two of them talking behind me, but I ignored it. I…- 281.3 K • Completed
“I know I looked like I was in danger earlier. But I really wasn’t. I understand that Hyunmook-hyung had every reason to be angry. But he didn’t have to go this far. This place… it’s not the Abyss anymore.” The gazes of the others, who had fallen into panic at the sight of Lee Hyunmook’s true form, began to waver. Yohan looked at Lee Chanha and Ju Hoyoung, who were still holding him tightly, and asked, “Doesn’t it seem like the one who’s in danger now is Hyunmook-hyung? Can he…- 297.5 K • Completed
- “How’s your body? Can you move around?” “Yes. I’m leaving now.” I regained consciousness and got discharged after three days. My strength was ruined from lying in bed for over a month, but I couldn’t afford to drag things out. If my biological father found out I’d come to my senses, things would get messy in so many ways. In this situation, striking first mattered more than waiting. Two more days of prep after my discharge and I went to meet my biological father. My stomach…

- “Ah, I should start by organizing my bag.” I turned around while stretching. The large suitcase spread out beside the bed was packed full. Mostly clothes and shoes I'd brought from Korea. I didn't know how long I'd stay here, but since I'd need to be here for at least a week, I had to sort through my luggage first. Crouching in front of the suitcase, I pulled out some clothes. Since they were summer clothes, they didn't take up much space in the closet. “Huh...?” While putting socks…

- * * * “What’s this?” On the way home from work after running errands, an office worker muttered in confusion. Something was fluttering down from the sky. “Snow in this season?” Some saw it as snow, others as flower petals, and still others thought it might be discount flyers or dandelion seeds. Whatever it was, it drifted slowly through the air. Those who reached out of curiosity to touch it were startled by pain. But that moment passed quickly, and soon their eyes went…

Shane stepped forward, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. The hallway, deathly silent until now, grew steadily louder past a certain point. Yudit quickly realized the noise was coming from the dining hall—laughter and crying, shouting and singing, the clinking of cups and the crash of dishes. Shane pushed open the door, alert. “Wahahaha!” “Drink up! Drink!” Yudit stood frozen in disbelief. The servants were laughing and carousing, drunk out of their minds. Their noses and…- 396.9 K • Completed
- By the time Yudit finished his work at the publishing house, it was nearly lunchtime. He handed Jayna two packets of cookies—one for her and one for her children. “Thank you, really… you didn’t have to…” “You always work so hard.” Jayna had mentioned she wanted to publish two of Bonin’s books first. Since they were also works Yudit had wanted to publish, he gladly agreed. “You’re leaving early today?” Jayna looked surprised as Yudit reached for his coat. “I’ve…

- At the call, Yudit turned around. It was the child who had been fidgeting with the magic stone, clearly wanting to keep it. Among the commoners, the child’s blond hair and blue eyes stood out. Clenching his small fists, the child took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, “See you tomorrow!” His voice carried on the wind. Yudit gave a soft smile and waved. “Alright. See you tomorrow.” The child’s face lit up as if someone had flipped a switch. He kept waving until Yudit…

- Yvonne was the one taken aback by the frank confession. “D-Do you really think writing is something you can just learn?” “Of course it’s difficult. But wouldn’t it be meaningful to show children growing up in a world where only men can be authors that anyone can write fun stories? And didn’t you say you originally wanted to publish under your own name?” “Who—Who said that?” “Selena mentioned it earlier. Said she’d heard it somewhere but couldn’t remember who told…

- I kept thinking about how I never told Baek Mugyeong that I liked him. I should have asked him what the bracelet meant, and I should have told him to apologize. In the end, what I wanted was to see him again. “Ah.” I set the bracelet down and rubbed my face. The feelings that never died out burned like embers. They rekindled and died again and again, and that made my mind restless. I grabbed my phone from beside the bed and impulsively opened the messenger app. I stopped typing…
