      GBH 85 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Swapping soup bowls wasn't typical between friends, so Yi-heon discretely observed Choi Myung-hyun. However, Myung-hyun was busy pushing fluffy rolled eggs towards his son, who was eating in small bites due to the pain from his lip and tongue injuries. It was one of the few side dishes that could be eaten without aggravating the wounds. Despite this kind consideration, Choi Se-kyung didn't touch his chopsticks. Se-kyung had said he didn't get along well with his father, but that didn't seem to be the…

      by Emerlyn — Se-kyung's eyes, apologizing, contorted as if he was about to cry. "I'm sorry for liking you." As Song Yi-heon tried to twist away, Se-kyung held him in his arms. Unable to face his fear directly, he spoke rapidly into Yi-heon's ear, their cheeks pressed together. "I always thought my father was excessive. I knew I was strange, but I didn't think I needed to be monitored. But my father was right. Like you said, I'm crazy, I'm mentally ill." "...You bastard. Shut up." "I thought it was…

      GBH 83 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The smoldering red dot fell as Kim Dong-soo threw away his cigarette. In an instant, he struck Song Yi-heon's head with a fist that showed the bones on the back of his hand. As Yi-heon staggered from the blow that rattled his skull and shook his brain, Dong-soo kicked his shin, knocking him down. Instinctively curling up to protect himself, Yi-heon's back was subjected to relentless, rage-filled kicks. "Stop it!" Through his blurry vision, Yi-heon saw Se-kyung running towards them, only to be caught…

      GBH 82 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The veins bulge on the back of the hand gripping Song Yi-heon's short hair as if to pull it out by the roots. The pain Song Yi-heon felt wasn't from his scalp that seemed about to be torn off, but from the contemptuous gaze of Kim Dong-soo, the subordinate he had trusted and relied on. His slitted eyes pierced coldly like an awl. "Why...?" As his hair was yanked, Kim Dong-soo swung his fist. Once again, Song Yi-heon followed the fist aimed at his abdomen with a dazed gaze. Like the hair grip, he…

      GBH 81 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Most restaurants had a back door for disposing of kitchen waste. Song Yi-heon easily thought of its existence, having often used it to avoid crackdowns. Sneaking out was key, but he wasn't worried about running into the new customers sitting at tables near the entrance while escaping through the back door on the opposite side. Song Yi-heon leaned his upper body against the sofa backrest and poked his head out from behind the partition. Though he couldn't see directly due to the partitions dividing each…

      GBH 80 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Where had his ambition to feed Se-kyung blood sausage soup and silkworm pupae soup gone? Song Yi-heon, seeming as if a screw had come loose, found himself sitting on the second floor of a franchise burger restaurant when he came to his senses. Being early, the place was quiet with few customers besides them. "Aren't you eating?" Se-kyung, who had brought the dazed Yi-heon to the burger place, put down the burger he was eating and asked. Until then, Yi-heon hadn't realized why there was a burger set…

      GBH 79 Cover
      by Emerlyn — As Choi Se-kyung and Yi-heon wandered the dark streets, they could somewhat understand why Choi Myung-hyun had suppressed him. Every night, he would pick out and beat up gang members who were alone. While a normal person would feel aversion, Se-kyung was indifferent. Though I'm not taking Myung-hyun's side, even Song Yi-heon agreed that Se-kyung's personality was unusual. The fact that he wasn't just purely kind appealed to me as a gang member, but Choi Myung-hyun, an ethical prosecutor, likely felt…

      GBH 78 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Kim Deuk-pal, a senior member of the Chilseong faction, was not dead. Rumors spread widely, but there was no way to confirm them. The source of the rumors couldn't be traced, and the Chilseong faction members who could verify the truth were scattered across the country, impossible to find. Even if a funeral was held, only the Chilseong members who cremated the body would know if he was really dead. Additionally, there was speculation that the unidentified boy spreading rumors about Kim Deuk-pal being…
