      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…

      GBH 125 Cover
      by Emerlyn As lunchtime approached, the sun blazed directly overhead. Bang-! As the starting gun split the sky, students facing off on both sides rushed towards the tug-of-war rope laid out in a long line. Their momentum was as fierce as a herd of rhinoceroses charging through water. Song Yi-heon, positioned at the front, shouted as he pulled on the rope. "We can do it!" With his abs tensed and a shout rising from his core like rich beef bone broth, he instilled fighting spirit. The teamwork of the…

      GBH 26 Cover
      by Emerlyn  It was not unusual for Hong Jae-min to skip class. His frequent unexcused absences left him with barely enough attendance, causing the teachers to throw up their hands in frustration. Some teachers were even afraid of his rough behavior, so the disciplinary teacher took it upon himself to deal with Hong Jae-min and his gang. Though he primarily bullied Song Yi-heon, there were other students in the class who had been extorted for money by Hong Jae-min under the pretense of borrowing. The longer…

      GBH 62 Cover
      by Emerlyn Flustered, Song Yi-heon blurted out without thinking: "I'm crazy about women." Song Yi-heon had been collecting photos from the internet, cutting into his study time to choose men for Song Min-seo, but hearing this unexpected remark, his thoughts momentarily froze as if buffering. He had reflexively answered according to Kim Deuk-pal's standards, but then remembered that Song Yi-heon liked men. Before he could correct himself, Song Min-seo asked: "Why are you showing me these photos…

      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 63 Cover
      by Emerlyn 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…

      GBH 64 Cover
      by Emerlyn 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…

      GBH 54 Cover
      by Emerlyn In Kim Deuk-pal's generation, "allergies" didn't exist. Of course, allergies existed elsewhere in the world at the same time, and people who ate ingredients that caused allergic reactions would visit the hospital. Allergies were a potentially life-threatening condition lurking in everyday life. However, at least in the rural village of Mokpo, Jeollanam-do where Kim Deuk-pal was born and raised, no one claimed to have allergies. The concept of allergies was so unfamiliar that even those experiencing…
