      LM 15 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the window startled Siyul's eyes. Behind his thin eyelids, his round eyeballs rolled this way and that until a gap formed in his eyes. His pupils lowered, then busily moved right, left, up and down. He rubbed his eyes with his palms and lifted his head. The throbbing at the back of his head and his stomach churned queasily—a clear sign of a hangover. Thirsty, he murmured for water and looked around. He was in the back seat of a car. Raindrops were falling on…

      by Emerlyn — "Why are you smiling like that?" “No reason. I just find it amusing. I didn't think you'd ever come to a place like this, Director." "Do I look like that?" Siyul puffed his cheeks like a goldfish and nodded. Woo Hyunse just shrugged and picked up some noodles with his chopsticks. Though he didn't usually enjoy watching others eat, for some reason his eyes kept being drawn to his companion. Maybe it was because his chopstick skills were flawless. Siyul tried a couple of chopstick movements in…

      LM 13 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The rain had completely stopped while they were talking. Siyul stood up abruptly. Bowing his head slightly to bid farewell, he was interrupted by Woo Hyunse in the middle. "I'll give you a ride." "I'll just walk." "The streets are dangerous at night." If anything was dangerous, wasn’t the man before him the most dangerous of all? Even if things had become more comfortable, their intense first encounter wasn't easily forgotten. Despite this, Woo Hyunse wore a gentle smile and kindly…

      LM 12 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "It's raining heavily. I'm waiting for it to let up before leaving." The umbrella that would look like a parasol if Siyul held it seemed a normal size for the man. Whether it was the lingering effects of alcohol or the increased familiarity from the drinking party, dealing with Woo Hyunse felt easier than before. Siyul wiggled his feet as he spoke. "Weren't you leaving with the manager?" "I sent Manager Kang home first." Siyul thought he would just go on his way, but Woo Hyunse climbed the…

      LM 11

      LM 11 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "Welcome... Oh my." The manager stopped mid-greeting and covered her mouth. Siyul also paused as he was about to take out the menu. It was someone he knew well. The man shook off the water droplets on his shoulders and grinned. "Not open for business today?" "Director!" Not just Siyul, but the other employees also seemed familiar with Woo Hyunse. The disappointment in their eyes turned to delight. Chef Park and his assistant even rushed out from the kitchen, loudly greeting, "Director, you've…

      LM 10

      LM 10 Cover
      by Emerlyn — After walking all day, every bone in his body ached. Siyul stood under hot water for a long time before finishing his shower. Kwon Yuwon's condition was exactly the same as when Siyul had left the room. He had probably spent the entire day lying there, wrapped in his blanket like a cocoon, without eating anything. Even without watching him, it was painfully obvious. When Siyul sat nearby and turned on the fan, Yuwon peeked out just his head to look. His eyes were completely lifeless. Well, how could he…

      LM 9

      LM 9 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Siyul opened and closed his mouth, then fell silent. He had nothing to say. After all, even he would find it hard to trust someone like himself. A lowlife selling drugs in small quantities - it was natural that he wouldn't inspire any trust. "It's true. I swear on my balls." This was all he had - no money, no car, no house. It was a serious statement meant to show his determination, but the other party burst into laughter that resonated through the phone. The "hahaha" laughter sounded both hearty and…

      LM 5 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "It's not that I don't trust you..." Kwon Yuwon couldn't bring himself to say that the supplier had a preference for fair-skinned, handsome Betas. As Siyul pointed out, refusing a drinking invitation in this clearly hierarchical world could mean the end of their supply. There was nothing to gain from getting on his bad side. But that didn't mean he was offering Siyul as a sacrifice. To Yuwon, Siyul was like his only brother in the world. "Don't you trust me, hyung? I've been working out lately and…
