And then the call ended. Left alone with the suspicious men after the call was abruptly cut off, Hong Jae-min clung to his phone, but the disconnected phone had already returned to the home screen. "Hey, hey, Song Yi-heon, Song Yi-heon...!" He had been told to buy time, but not knowing where Song Yi-heon was coming from, he had no idea how long he needed to stall. There was no need to guess, really. It was reckless to try to buy time against a group of adult men that seemed to number more than a…- 246.1 K • Completed
‘Deal. What do you want to do if I win?’ ‘What, what should we do?’ ‘What would be fun to bet? How about running around the field at lunch time wearing only underwear?’ ‘Are you crazy, you bastard?’ ‘Then maybe just a swimsuit? I think it's best to refrain from going fully nude for the public good.’ Yeowon’s nonchalant attitude made the guy’s face flush with anger as he glanced around nervously. He seemed to realize that if he backed out now while everyone was…- 239.8 K • Ongoing
- Hong Jae-min, waiting at the incinerator, only accepted that Song Yi-heon wasn't coming when the edge of the sunset had darkened. Several white sticks pulled from finished lollipops rolled around at his feet. Jae-min opened the message he had checked boringly many times while waiting, looking at humor pages on his phone. An eye-smile emoji that didn't suit Song Yi-heon greeted Jae-min. "If you're not coming, you should just ignore it. Why send something like this?" Making me feel hopeful for…

- They exchanged trivial jokes and asked about each other's well-being. Since it wasn't the first time Hong Jae-min had turned off his phone and disappeared, they laughed off his unexcused absence as if it were nothing unusual. While laughing and chatting, the gang was waiting for the right moment to bring up the main topic. When Hong Jae-min laughed out loud, they took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere to ask: "Jae-min, did you fight with the guys from B High?" B High was the school attended by the…

"Welcome... Oh my." The manager stopped mid-greeting and covered her mouth. Siyul also paused as he was about to take out the menu. It was someone he knew well. The man shook off the water droplets on his shoulders and grinned. "Not open for business today?" "Director!" Not just Siyul, but the other employees also seemed familiar with Woo Hyunse. The disappointment in their eyes turned to delight. Chef Park and his assistant even rushed out from the kitchen, loudly greeting, "Director, you've…- 231.4 K • Completed
The sailors who had stepped aside against the wall until their superior, Yoon Moo-hwa, passed by, slowly followed him with their eyes after he went by. Number 8 hesitated at the pouring gazes, and Yoon Moo-hwa, noticing that small reaction, turned around. Number 8's body was lifted again into his outstretched arms. It was already strange to see 'that' Yoon Moo-hwa holding a child, but the sight of a dirty child, clearly from a pirate island, speaking informally to Yoon Moo-hwa was even more…- 247.0 K • Ongoing
- Near dawn, before daybreak, the door to the storehouse where Yoon Moo-hwa was held opened. They checked the rope binding him. It seemed slightly loose, but not enough for his wrists to slip out. Besides, they didn't think a dimwitted navy man who got caught by them would have tried anything clever. "If this is all a lieutenant amounts to, the navy bastards must be pathetic." One of the pirates sneered, mocking Yoon Moo-hwa. Despite the blatant taunting, Yoon Moo-hwa remained silent. Their way of…

- Number 8, with his face resting on his folded knees, nodded off while dozing. He woke up again, not because of the high tide tickling his toes or the warm sunlight enveloping his back. It was because of a noise coming from afar. Number 8 opened his eyes hazily, at first thinking he might be hallucinating. But as he rubbed his eyes and squinted to look more closely, he became certain it wasn't a hallucination. The shape of an approaching ship was becoming clearer and clearer. Number 8 stood up…
