      BHB 27 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "Yeowon, Han Yeowon." The world was spinning. How much had he drunk? It had been a while since he'd been this intoxicated, barely able to stand. Yeowon tried to steady himself but stumbled, only to be caught by someone beside him. After blinking a few times, he realized it was Baek Seungha. "Ah... right. It's senior." Yeowon chuckled to himself, his face flushed from alcohol. Seungha had his arm draped over his shoulders, supporting him. "Is this your place?" Seungha's hand on his waist…

      BHB 26 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Yeowon let out a soft, wry chuckle as he fidgeted with his glass, memories of that first encounter suddenly flooding back. It had been an impressive encounter for him. He never imagined the infamous figure from those wild rumors would turn out to be such an easygoing person. He'd expected someone far more violent and menacing, given how even the spineless Youngdoo, who'd grovel before anyone stronger, wouldn't dare utter a peep against him. "I never thought you'd end up going to college," Yeowon's…

      BHB 25 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Yeowon had his limits. He never extorted money from nameless kids, harmed innocent people, or threatened the weak. But Choi Youngdoo? He did it all. Bullying vulnerable classmates, shaking down easy targets for cash, ordering elderly neighbors to buy him cigarettes - you name it, he'd done it. It was bad enough that Youngdoo chose the vilest acts, but now he was cozying up to Taegang, trying to bask in his influence. The sight made Yeowon's blood boil. His fiery temper had led to several tense…

      BHB 24 Cover
      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…

      BHB 23 Cover
      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,…

      BHB 22 Cover
      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,"…

      BHB 21

      BHB 21 Cover
      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…

      BHB 20 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Yeowon hurriedly pulled out his phone from his coat pocket and urged, "I need to get your number before you run away again." "What good will knowing my number do?" "So I can treat you to a meal." "Is it right for a junior to treat their senior?" "Then you can pay." When Yeowon forcefully handed him the phone, Baek Seungha reluctantly took it and entered his number. Yeowon pressed the call button and made sure Baek Seungha's phone rang. "Don't disappear again." "...Come on. I won't…
