      GBH 47 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Under the orange glow of streetlights, an ambulance, with neither its siren nor emergency lights on, was parked in front of Song Yi-heon’s house. Black oil dripping from the exhaust pipe of the quiet ambulance stained the asphalt. The ambulance doors were wide open, as was Song Yi-heon's house. The front gate of the house had been forcibly torn open. Kim Deuk-pal sensed something was wrong and threw down his shopping bag to run. If Song Min-seo needed to go to the hospital, the woman from Seosan would…

      SYM 11 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Namgung Juwon must be over the age of forty, but looking at him, one might think he had only just reached thirty. In contrast, Namgung Eun-gwang, Eun-hyeon's half-brother, looked older than his age due to his imposing build. This created an odd dynamic when they stood together, as they appeared more like senior and junior colleagues than father and son. "I greet you, Father." Eun-hyeon stood up and bowed his head towards Namgung Juwon. He had thought that Namgung Juwon might visit someday, but…

      GBH 8 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "I don't really know, but are we supposed to sit in numerical order?" As the group of girls playing together either froze their expressions or tried to stifle their laughter, Kim Deuk-pal sensed that he had made a mistake. However, due to Song Yi-heon's likable appearance, he didn't receive an outright rejection. One girl with a pink blanket over her shoulders rested her elbows on Kim Deuk-pal's desk, then tilted her head with curiosity. As she moved closer, Kim Deuk-pal awkwardly pushed his chair…

      GBH 7 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The head teacher noticed Song Yi-heon's frown and cleared his throat, discreetly hiding the ruler behind his back, then pressed on with his questioning. "Where's your name tag? What grade and class are you?" This also upset Kim Deuk-pal. The uniform Song Yi-heon used to wear had become tattered due to bullying, requiring a new purchase. Excitedly returning home, he took out the new uniform and discovered that the name tag read 'Kim Deuk-pal.' It made sense why the uniform shop owner had double-checked…

      GBH 6 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The man, whom Kim Deuk-pal thought would part ways after leaving the cafe, crossed the same crosswalk with him. Thinking they were headed in the same direction, Kim Deuk-pal remained silent. However, when the man followed him all the way to the hospital's main entrance, Kim Deuk-pal couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Why are you following me, kid?" "I'm also going to Central Hospital. Visiting a patient." How did he know I was going to Central Hospital? As Kim Deuk-pal furrowed his brow with…

      GBH 3 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The funeral home was set up in the basement of the same building as the hospital. Chrysanthemum wreaths filled the memorial room and overflowed, lining the corridor outside. Although Kim Deuk-pal had cut ties with his family after joining the organization and had no relatives to attend the funeral, yet it was crowded with mourners. Everyone had a menacing or cold demeanor—they were all gangsters. Even rival organizations, who normally would never gather in one place, came to pay their respects.…

      GBH 4 Cover
      by Emerlyn — December 20, 20XX I don’t know why this is happening. Was it such a big mistake to like someone? I didn’t steal money or hit anyone, so why is everyone targeting me instead of Hong Jae-min? I didn’t do anything to them, but they avoid me, not him. It feels like the whole school is talking about me. They whisper when they see me. I’m scared. I wish I didn’t have a heart. I don’t want to go to school. I want to run away. I don’t want to be here. I want to quit. I’m exhausted. I want to…

      GBH 1 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  Kim Deuk-pal. Age 47. His dream is to enter university. On a rainy winter day, in a traditional Korean house with a pond-adorned garden, a student was burning with academic passion as he prepared for the college entrance exam. Though he was a late-blooming student, much older than his peers, his enthusiasm was no less than that of young blood. He pressed his pencil hard as he solved math problems. With each math problem solved, the long dragon tattoo on his forearm seemed to writhe. Despite…
