      by Emerlyn — "Hey, why'd you come out? Just go back inside,"  "Isn't it heavy?" Yeowon scoffed.  "Please, this? It's nothing." "Take a taxi home. You might spill everything if you're not careful." "Alright, alright. Thanks. Let's have dinner with your mom sometime. My treat." "Oh, now you're offering to pay?" Youngjae teased. "What, you don't like it?" "Are you kidding? I love it. I'll talk to Mom about it." Youngjae grinned, playfully throwing an arm around Yeowon's shoulders. "By…

      by Emerlyn — "Do you have any idea how many times I called you?" Do Youngjae grumbled, interrogating like a jealous lover. "If someone doesn't answer, you should just assume they're busy. Why did you keep calling?" "Oh, you jerk. I know you've got it easy, but can't you at least pretend to feel bad about ignoring your friend's calls?" "Sorry." "You don't sound sorry at all." "Want me to buy you food?" "You think money solves everything?" "Drinks, then?" Youngjae's resolve wavered. "...Fine,…

      by Emerlyn — The destination the two took the taxi to was Bukchon. In Seoul, where towering skyscrapers abound, this was a neighborhood where closely packed traditional hanok houses displayed an elegance that didn't lag behind despite their low height. Se-kyung, a Seoul native, had often visited this hanok village when touring Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces, but the path Song Yi-heon was leading him down was unfamiliar. In contrast, Song Yi-heon, who had taken off his windbreaker due to the heat from…

      by Emerlyn — For a week, the part-timer stood behind Song Yi-heon in the store, looking in the same direction, but only trash was rolling around in the narrow alley leading to the nightclub district. Beyond the alley, the brightly lit street with people coming and going was an ordinary sight, not worth watching all night. Nevertheless, the boy who never took his eyes off the alley suddenly changed his position. A group of men emerged from the alley he had been watching intently. The part-timer recognized their…

      by Emerlyn — The final exams were held over four days. Having gone through it once during midterms, Song Yi-heon managed to approach the exams with some degree of condition management. Of course, Se-kyung's efforts contributed to this as well. As the finals approached, Yi-heon became increasingly anxious, haunted by the nightmare of misunderstanding the exam scope during midterms. He tried to control his mindset by thinking that wielding a pen was nothing compared to the fistfights he'd had at Incheon docks, but the…

      by Emerlyn — Yeowon gestured lightly towards the interior of the house with those final words. It wasn't that he particularly liked Chaemin and wanted to let him stay. He had always lived by certain principles, even while engaging in delinquent behavior. He had always tried to maintain basic human decency - respecting the elderly, protecting children, helping those in need. Those around him might laugh and mock this as ridiculous, but Yeowon had always strived to uphold his personal code of ethics. "...Thank you,"…

      by Emerlyn — Feeling oddly affected by his chance encounter with Baek Seungha, Yeowon halted his reminiscing and cracked open a beer he had bought earlier at the convenience store. With a crisp hiss, he brought the frothing can to his lips and downed more than half in one go. After Baek Seungha dropped out of school, Yeowon was in a state of panic for a while. Although he had many friends and was surrounded by people, it wasn't easy for him to truly open up emotionally. As a result, Yeowon tended to become a bit…

      by Emerlyn — During lunch break, Song Yi-heon was unusually not playing soccer but sitting in the classroom, putting their heads together with Kim Yeon-ji. Things didn't seem to be going well as they sat with a workbook between them, the atmosphere serious. Yi-heon pointed to a section where he had written out a long solution process and said: "Explain this part slowly." Kim Yeon-ji, barely suppressing her about-to-explode temper, tried to repeat the same explanation but couldn't hold back and snapped: "Why…
