      GBH 101 Cover
      by Emerlyn “How do kids date these days?” Song Yi-heon's question was loaded and based on many assumptions.  Sensing the unusual intent behind the question, Yeon-ji's ears perked up. Unaware that the high school girl, deeply interested in romance, had activated her amateur love radar, Song Yi-heon recalled what had happened at the basketball court last night. He wanted to be special to Choi Se-kyung and didn't want to leave Se-kyung's precious confession hanging. He also wanted to strongly deny it when…

      GBH 100 Cover
      by Emerlyn Under a high, clear blue sky without a cloud in sight, the festival day dawned. The festival began with the light steps of 1st and 2nd year students coming to school without their book bags. The previously empty schoolyard was now filled with club members setting up tents, driving in steel poles and covering them with blue waterproof tarps. While 3rd year students had regular classes during the two-day festival, they were allowed to participate in the festival on the afternoon of the first day instead…

      GBH 99 Cover
      by Emerlyn However, the question that had risen to the tip of his tongue never made it out of his mouth. It was true that he had wanted to be friends with Se-kyung, but now that they were friends, there was a lingering emptiness that made him think, "This isn't it." There was something he wanted from Se-kyung. The deficiency burned his throat like thirst and stirred him up like hunger. Holding back wasn't in Song Yi-heon's nature. He preferred to face problems head-on and solve them directly. He liked to be…

      GBH 98 Cover
      by Emerlyn The sound of running water echoed continuously in the bathroom sink. Se-kyung had taken off his uniform shirt and was hand-washing it under the stream, while Song Yi-heon fidgeted behind him, unable to do anything. "Hey, couldn't you have just moved aside instead of stubbornly staying there?" Unable to overcome his awkwardness, he started to blame Se-kyung but then closed his mouth, realizing it wasn't right. He was sorry. He was sorry, but for some reason, he felt oddly resentful and couldn't bring…

      GBH 97

      GBH 97 Cover
      by Emerlyn The altered present was the work of Kim Deuk-pal's soul. It was because he was Kim Deuk-pal's soul that he was able to handle situations where the original Song Yi-heon would have been dragged along by reality and unfairly treated. Even if the original Song Yi-heon's soul returned, it wouldn't be able to handle the changed reality. If that's the case, it might be more beneficial for both parties if Kim Deuk-pal lived on behalf of Song Yi-heon's soul. His increasingly dark pupils were consumed by…

      GBH 96

      GBH 96 Cover
      by Emerlyn Choi Se-kyung, who had been busy confessing his feelings that had warmed like a low fever all summer, cleanly backed off after being rejected. Yi-heon should have felt relieved, but he couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling, as if he hadn't finished wiping himself. He even glanced suspiciously at Se-kyung, wondering if this might be another of his sophisticated strategies, but Se-kyung's usual smiling demeanor was as peaceful as a demilitarized zone. Se-kyung remained as kind as ever, escorting Yi-heon to…

      GBH 95 Cover
      by Emerlyn During lunch break, Song Yi-heon reflected that the only manual skill he possessed was throwing punches. He was confident in breaking things, but had no talent for creation. Standing a step back to appreciate the panel that the manga club had laid out on the floor to use as a partition during the festival, Yi-heon put down the flat brush in his hand and apologized. "Hey, um... I'm sorry." Certainly, when the manhwa club student had offered him the brush to try painting, the panel had been filled with…

      GBH 94 Cover
      by Emerlyn The narrow alley was a passage connecting the residential area to the main road. On the residential side, Se-kyung sat in the back seat of the sedan, watching Song Yi-heon through the lowered window. On the opposite side, the main road was a four-lane street with cars zipping by. Song Yi-heon, who had been leading the way, stopped midway through the alley and perched on an air conditioner's outdoor unit. "Let's talk here." Once again, Song Yi-heon spoke casually without preamble, and Kim Dong-su…
