      by Emerlyn — As the new year dawned, Choi Se-kyung did not board the plane to Canada. The surface reason was wanting to focus on college entrance exams as a high school senior, but the real cause was his poor condition since the night he failed to find Song Yi-heon. Rather than going out and being unable to process his emotions properly, he chose to avoid meeting people under the guise of studying. Only when he went to report to the police station did Se-kyung realize how little he knew about Song Yi-heon. His name,…

      by Emerlyn — 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…

      by Emerlyn —  After Kim Deuk-pal's feast ended, he patted his protruding belly. Song Yi-heon had a small stomach, so whenever he ate, his slim belly would bulge out. Though it would quickly deflate, he found it unsightly and tried not to show it in public. But he couldn't fool Choi Se-kyung's keen eye. Ever since getting caught with a tadpole belly on the first day at the study hall after dinner, Kim Deuk-pal had been patting his stomach comfortably. Choi Se-kyung inserted a bill into the vending machine and…

      GBH 77 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Se-kyung, being sensitive, couldn't miss the signals Song Yi-heon was indirectly showing, such as smiling bitterly while hesitating, and promising a future where he couldn't be held responsible if he broke it. As Choi Se-kyung pierced through the truth twice now, following yesterday, Song Yi-heon complained while rubbing his goosebump-covered forearms despite the hot weather. "How can I even breathe comfortably in front of you? It's scary." At this point, he was suspicious if Se-kyung had some kind…

      GBH 23 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "Actually, I have a curfew." "You do?" Recalling how strong he was when he grabbed his shoulder during a previous walk, Se-kyung found himself embarrassed, covering his flushed ears with the back of his hand and gazing into the distance. "...Until 10 PM. I've been forgetting about it lately because of night study. It's not a night study day, so they probably called because I'm not home yet." "Well, even when you're grown up, you're still a child in your parents' eyes." Though he said that,…

      by Emerlyn —  In the lobby, Choi Myung-hyun, a distinguished prosecutor known for his integrity, had just lost his father.

As a result, the funeral hall was crowded not only with mourners for Choi Myung-hyun but also those trying to establish connections with his in-laws.…

      GBH 66 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The only reason Hong Jae-min still went to school after hearing he'd get his head cracked for confessing was fear that Song Yi-heon might come looking for him if he was absent without leave. So Jae-min attended school but spent the whole day slumped over his desk, only moving for lunch or classes like PE that required changing rooms. His gang, entering through the back door, put their arms around Jae-min's shoulders as he changed into his gym clothes. "Jae-min, let's skip class." "Don't touch me.…

      GBH 32 Cover
      by Emerlyn —  Kim Deuk-pal wasn't bothered by Song Min-seo's alcoholism, but Jung Eun-chae was. Her eyes shook greatly upon hearing about Song Yi-heon's home environment, and she nervously rubbed her clasped hands. The corners of her mouth, which she had raised to hide her surprise, twitched. "I see. You must be going through a lot, Yi-heon." "It's fine. This is just how life is." Compared to his gangster days, this family situation was luxurious. Meanwhile, Jung Eun-chae's eyes reddened with admiration.…
