Humans are slaves to their hormones. In other words, hormones alone can make humans happy. And the way to save an unhappy human is simply to make them happy. So how does one make an unhappy person feel happiness? While it might sound like a deep philosophical question, the solution is surprisingly simple. Give them medicine. Just as we apply ointment to skin wounds and take medicine for colds, humans suffering from the virus of unhappiness can be treated with drugs. All it takes is…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

TE 8
On the drive back to his home church, Pastor Moon Seok-ho leisurely sipped his coffee in the backseat. A new recruit who had recently joined was driving, filling in for Kang Jin-ho who was away dealing with the detective situation. His demeanor hardly matched that of a father who had just left his beloved daughter bound to a cross. Then again, who in their right mind would tie their daughter to a cross for alleged wrongdoing? "You there." "Y-yes, sir!" A satisfied smile crossed Pastor Moon's…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

The corpse, neatly packaged in a drum like a gift box, would now be sinking to the depths of the ocean. Tae-beom's eyes grew distant as he drove along the empty coastal road. A mild headache and dizziness crept over him. The scent of blood still lingered in his nostrils, as if he were still inside that container. It must have seeped into his clothes, his skin. He couldn't shake the image of that young detective's eyes from his mind. Such an innocent face for someone who had acted so…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

Thunder echoed through the sealed workshop at the harbor, but it wasn't thunder at all - it was the stench of blood. The regulars seemed immune to it, their senses long dulled, but Tae-beom could barely keep his empty stomach from heaving. The metallic scent pierced his nostrils like needles. Ironically, the one creating this nauseating smell was none other than himself. The man whose hair was gripped in Tae-beom's black leather gloves was barely conscious. His features were unrecognizable beneath…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

TE 5
Seo-ha had often wondered throughout her life. If someone were to ask whether she truly believed in God, what would she say? The words that would actually leave her lips would undoubtedly mimic those of a proper pastor's daughter, but if she were to be honest with herself, the story would be quite different. She believed because she had to believe, because she wanted to believe. To Moon Seok-ho, Seo-ha was his special daughter. In many ways, she enjoyed more privileges than even her younger…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

But doing that would kill not just the man, but Park Hee-jung as well. The memory was still vivid in Seo-ha's mind - that other 'aunt' who was caught by her father being intimate with a man she had brought into the house. That woman whose hands were tied and whose mouth were blocked with a piece cloth couldn't even scream when she saw a transparent plastic laid out in the same room where she had an affair. It was as if she knew that plastic would be her coffin. Seo-ha remembered how that woman was…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

The car was silent. "Tae-beom, can you hear me?" What felt like silence was an illusion. The coquettish voice coming from the phone was anything but quiet. "Tae-beom, that old man—" At a red light, the man reached out and turned off the speaker, bringing the phone to his ear so Seo-ha couldn't hear. But she had already guessed what Park Hee-jung was saying. She probably wanted to say that her husband , who she wanted to call 'old man' had left, so it was safe to come over. Secretly,…- 46.4 K • Ongoing
