      GBH 20 Cover
      by Emerlyn — During the last session of the March mock exam, the classroom was filled with tension. The desks had been arranged in a single line with gaps between them, and the students were hurriedly marking their answer sheets while glancing between their exam papers and the clock. When the bell rang, the teacher clapped their hands. "Put down your pens and the student in the back, collect the answer sheets." The student seated at the back fetched the answer sheets, and Kim Deuk-pal slumped onto his desk.…

      GBH 59 Cover
      by Emerlyn — In Hong Jae-min's 19 years of life, this was the first time he'd seen a meal that could be described as "a table so full it might break." Whatever Song Yi-heon had said, the housekeeper had prepared a lavish spread despite it being past regular mealtime. Jae-min couldn't believe this steaming meal was really prepared for him. Even ramen with kimchi would have been a feast, but the table was set with rice, soup, and neatly arranged side dishes on plates. In a situation where he'd be grateful for pig slop…

      by Emerlyn — The spacious stadium with large tents set up along the edges for students to rest had artificial turf swaying gently green. The weather conditions, neither cold nor hot, were perfect for a fall sports day. After the principal's speech from the platform ended and the sports day officially began, the atmosphere was lively as students scattered by class to prepare for cheering. Unable to blend in with the groups of students walking around in twos and threes, Song Yi-heon fidgeted with his pants to…

      by Emerlyn —  The old man's inquiry about whether the rain had stopped indicated that there was a problem within the organization. Kim Deuk-pal pondered what crisis had struck the organization. Since the organization's operations were stable before his death, any issues could stem from betrayal or conflicts with other organizations. There were suspicions about certain individuals, but they were just suspicions. One somewhat fortunate aspect was that it was only raining, not at a severe level. A typhoon would…

      GBH 7 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The head teacher noticed Song Yi-heon's frown and cleared his throat, discreetly hiding the ruler behind his back, then pressed on with his questioning. "Where's your name tag? What grade and class are you?" This also upset Kim Deuk-pal. The uniform Song Yi-heon used to wear had become tattered due to bullying, requiring a new purchase. Excitedly returning home, he took out the new uniform and discovered that the name tag read 'Kim Deuk-pal.' It made sense why the uniform shop owner had double-checked…

      by Emerlyn —  Knowing he wouldn't give up easily, Kim Deuk-pal anticipated Choi Se-kyung’s attempt to grab his collar and aimed a punch at his stomach. The punch landed squarely, but a splayed hand was already there to absorb the impact, as if Choi Se-kyung had anticipated the attack. Kim Deuk-pal caught the punch aimed at his stomach with his hand and tripped Choi Se-kyung. Losing his balance, Choi Se-kyung stumbled, but before he could fall, he grabbed Kim Deuk-pal’s collar. The two figures toppled over…

      by Emerlyn — The next day, Kim Deuk-pal did not show up at school until almost lunchtime. He sat in the now-empty living room, cleared of broken decorations, wrestling with the phone. The person on the other end, tired of his persistent calls, eventually turned off their phone after letting it ring repeatedly. Kim Deuk-pal glared at the phone as if it were Lee Mi-kyung herself, hearing the voicemail message leak out. "Does she really think I won’t catch her if she tries to escape...?" Despite his fierce…

      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…
