After Morning Prayer, the monks gradually dispersed from the refectory. The Listener stayed behind, approaching The Mute, who was clearing away the soup bowls. "Brother, do you have any oil?" Oil? The Mute paused, looking at him in confusion. Of course, there was oil, but it was precious—only a tiny amount was used to prepare the vegetable soup and bread. The Listener pulled a row of ten gold coins from his sleeve. "Get me some," he said, tossing the money into The Mute's hand, which was still…- 103.8 K • Completed
When Jinrang returned, he was holding a shallow porcelain bowl. He poured the contents into Woo Hyo’s mouth. Woo Hyo coughed and spilled some, but Jinrang remained expressionless and paid it no mind. "In your current condition, you won’t be able to stand on your own. I’ll notify Baekragung for now. I’ll give you paper, so write the letter yourself. Since I pulled you back from the edge of death, make sure your words are careful enough not to cause any misunderstanding." "Didn’t you hear me…- 125.4 K • Ongoing
‘Why, what, what do you want me to do about it.’ Yohan pouted and held back the words he wanted to say to Lear. It was because he couldn't curse him in front of his father. "Anyway, you're leaving again, right?" "Anyone would think I was a tenant in this house." "If you say it like that, it makes it sound like I'm still mooching off the house." "Technically speaking..." Before Patrick could say something unnecessary, Lear hastily cut him off and said what he wanted to say. "More…- 252.8 K • Ongoing
“Seok-ga. Jaeil. Snake bastard…” I unconsciously muttered the words that had particularly stuck in my ear. What on earth was the true nature of this feeling of déjà vu? I feel like I've heard them somewhere… but it just teases me, on the verge of remembering, without anything specific coming to mind. It felt as if a fog had settled in my head. “Ah…” Suddenly, my head throbbed. It seemed a headache had set in from wracking my brain while being tired and not sleeping. Let's sleep.…- 172.3 K • Completed
- “Hey, loser!” The call pierced through my earphones, and my bowed head shot up on its own. I already knew who it was from the nickname and the voice. Looking up to confirm, I saw a familiar face, as expected. It was Jiho. With food still in my mouth, I took out my earphones and nodded in greeting. Jiho sat down in the empty seat across from me and lamented. “Hey, man. I had a feeling, but are you here again?” Adding to that, he saw the food I was eating, made a disgusted face, and…

- “Is this the right place?” It was the beginning of February, when the winter wind was at its peak. After a 30-minute climb up a frozen, steep road, I stood in front of an unfamiliar main gate, checking the map on my phone. At least the destination marked on the map and my current location were the same. The reason I was still confused about whether I had come to the right place was because of the extraordinary presence of the main gate. The gate, built in the style of a traditional Korean…

- Is it because of the sharp edge in his voice? “While mentioning you.” “……!” “Director Baek, you seem to be having a lot of fun these days? How does a young kid’s cunt taste? Is there something different about the one attached to you? Well, I suppose he’s no ordinary thing, seeing how our Director Baek is even spending his money to support him. Is that why? I’m getting greedy too? You know my tastes are a perfect match with yours, Director Baek. Looking at the photo, he seems so…

- I went outside, secured the door, and went up the half-flight of stairs. My steps were incredibly light. It was always like that when I went to meet Baek Sahyeon. It was not just my footsteps, but my whole body felt unusually light. It was probably because of my desire to get there quickly and the excitement of being able to see him soon. I climbed the stairs in a single breath and reached the villa's entrance. I stopped for a moment and checked the state of the sky. It was said to be clear all day, and…

- As soon as he came out of the hotel room, Lear looked at Yohan with an anxious face the entire time and asked. “What about the drug’s effects? You said it hurt a little earlier. Are you okay?” “If I wasn’t okay, do you think I’d be walking around perfectly fine like this?” “I’m just worried from the position of someone who licked, sucked, and fucked you.” Yohan, in a surge of emotion, shouted at Lear. “If you were so worried, you shouldn’t have touched me in the first…

"I knew it. What kind of music could a punk like you possibly make." That was the first thing I heard when I said I was quitting the piano. "Father. To be precise, I'm not the punk, but the punk's punk." Talking back, knowing I would get beaten for it, has been a habit of mine since childhood. "You son of a bitch." An ashtray came flying immediately, and blood started trickling down from the very center of my forehead. Drip. I stuck my tongue out slightly and licked the falling drop of…- 171.7 K • Ongoing
