      by Emerlyn — "Come again!" When his hair was still thick and covering the nape of his neck, he hadn’t noticed, but now that it was cut short, the cold wind against his exposed nape felt sharp. Kim Deuk-pal awkwardly fiddled with the short bangs now resting on his forehead. After persistent persuasion from the salon employee, Kim Deuk-pal finally compromised on a short cut. He found the employee’s insistence annoying—after all, it was his own hair, and he should be able to cut it however he wanted. But the…

      by Emerlyn — Song Yi-heon choked on his food and coughed loudly. As he turned his head to finally calm his coughing, he made a sour face as if he had heard something he shouldn't have, causing the other boys to burst into laughter. "Haha, look at Song Yi-heon's expression." After emptying an entire glass of water, Song Yi-heon said, "Say something that makes sense." He flatly denied it. The boy who had asked seemed relieved, as if a long-standing indigestion had been cured, even as he apologetically offered…

      by Emerlyn —  After being absent for several days, Choi Se-kyung returned to school, where his classmates, now aware of his situation, offered belated condolences. Since then, he attended classes, ate meals, and studied, with days passing like a squirrel's spinning wheel. As early June approached, the early heat of summer arrived. Students who felt the heat wore light clothing to school. On the day Kim Deuk-pal saw students dressed in light clothing, he rushed home after school to rummage through his…

      GBH 43 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  Kim Deuk-pal thought that Choi Se-kyung must be extremely tired to want to be held, so he let him lean against his chest. Kim Deuk-pal believed that a man should have the decency to offer his chest as a place of comfort in this harsh world.  He tried to show a sense of indifference even if he cried, but Se-kyung did not cry. The sound of cars running on the road beyond the fence brushed past his ears. After a few minutes, the area where Se-kyung’s breath was touching his chest grew warmer.…

      GBH 41 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  Kim Deuk-pal accepted death entirely thanks to Choi Myung-hyun. It was the first night of last winter when Kim Deuk-pal woke up as Song Yi-heon. He lay alone in the hospital room.  During the day, he had been dragged to his own funeral in Song Yi-heon's body, seen his portrait, and fainted, only to be brought back to the hospital room. Even after regaining consciousness, he was still Song Yi-heon. Lying there in a daze, he raised his arm. The rough fists that had boasted an undefeated…

      GBH 39 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  The old man's inquiry about whether the rain had stopped indicated that there was a problem within the organization. Kim Deuk-pal pondered what crisis had struck the organization. Since the organization's operations were stable before his death, any issues could stem from betrayal or conflicts with other organizations. There were suspicions about certain individuals, but they were just suspicions. One somewhat fortunate aspect was that it was only raining, not at a severe level. A typhoon would…

      GBH 37 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  Choi Se-kyung's affirmation was also a self-deprecating feeling. He endured his father's oppression with the belief that he didn't kill the girl when he was six years old. Even if his parents treated Se-kyung strangely, he didn't consider himself abnormal. He hadn't killed anyone, and he believed himself to be a sane person who could distinguish between cruel imagination and reality. However, Choi Myung-hyun insisted that Se-kyung had indeed killed the girl. This confused Se-kyung greatly, making…

      GBH 38 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  In the narrow alleyway with cracked asphalt, Choi Se-kyung looked up at the crumbling yellow sign. The building was so old that it wouldn’t have been strange if the peeling paint on the sign had fallen off at any moment. It was his first time witnessing in real life the kind of small inn often seen in movies. When Kim Deuk-pal attempted to enter, Se-kyung grabbed his hoodie to hold him back. There was no intention of causing trouble, but it was hard to ignore the severely cracked cement…
