      TIN 48 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "You're quite delicate too." Why was that on the button… In my hazy mind, I tried to recall Joo Do-hwa's figure from earlier. The image of him standing in the hallway, leaning against the wall with a phone to his ear. I naturally thought he was on a call, but it might be that he was actually eavesdropping instead. "It's obvious you're wavering...All to save that one thing." He rolled the button in his hand and curled his lips into a slanted smile. It was a crooked smile by anyone's standards,…

      TIN 57 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Is it Joo Do-hwa? With that thought, I turned around, but it wasn't the person I was expecting. It was the man with that cold face, sending a very displeased look: Joo Do-hwa's assistant, speaking gruffly while unable to hide his discomfort. "If you've come to your senses, stand up straight." "..." The momentary disappointment turned into self-reproach for thinking it might be Joo Do-hwa. I was dumbfounded at the fact that he was the first person I thought of, though I hadn't particularly…

      TIN 18 Cover
      by Emerlyn — This excuse about getting lost on the way never changed, did it? Perhaps Henry learned it from watching Joo Do-hwa. They both had a kind way of speaking, but the actual content wasn’t always very considerate. Thinking about this a little further, I noticed there was something off about the situation. "But why do you use honorifics with me?" When I was younger, he had addressed me bluntly. If he was going to treat me like that "brother" from before, he shouldn't be using honorifics. I thought it…

      TIN 130 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Her gaze softened as she looked at me. As I swallowed the porridge in my mouth, I recalled the name I'd heard at the beach. '...Ji-soo unnie?' "..." She must know...Yoon Ji-soo well enough to call her in such a familiar manner. "Is this your first time at the sea?" The woman spoke quite warmly. Though she had been guarded until just now, seeing me eat well seemed to have opened her heart. "You're from the city, right?" "..." I silently looked at her. Though it was hard to gauge her…

      TIN 117

      TIN 117 Cover
      by Emerlyn — It felt suffocating. The scorching sun beating down on my head, the sweltering heat rising from the ground, the air shimmering like heat haze, and the sticky, clinging humidity. As soon as I entered the deserted alley, after confirming no one was around, I irritably took off my hat. With my other hand, I ran my fingers through my flattened hair, feeling the heat from my scalp. The trapped heat had collected inside the hat. "Damn..." The heat made me feel like I was dying. I stretched out fully,…

      TIN 23

      TIN 23 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "Did you do that on purpose?" I couldn't answer the sudden question. He genuinely seemed upset. All I did was go swimming when he told me to, so what exactly did I do wrong? Technically, I was just floating, but still. "What exactly am I doing on purpose?" "You..." Joo Do-hwa moved his lips, but no sound came out of his mouth. It seemed like he was struggling to find the right words. Joo Do-hwa took a deep breath and spoke in a gritty tone. "I told you to swim, not drown yourself." The…

      TIN 24

      TIN 24 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." My mind went completely blank. It felt as if time had stopped, and I couldn't sense anything at all—not the gaze looking down on me, not the voice I had just heard, not even the water touching my body. "What do you..." "I've felt something was off from the beginning." I managed to open my mouth, but couldn't finish the sentence. Joo Do-hwa spoke softly as if I had used informal speech with him all along. "You're too pretty to be a Beta." I had heard that line countless times, but…

      TIN 131

      TIN 131 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Perhaps because they used seawater, the houses here had much better water flow than in the city. Though hot water didn't come out naturally, thanks to the woman bringing a kettle of boiled water, I could wash without freezing to death. My body, long exhausted from the heat, didn't mind the cool water anyway. After washing up, I borrowed some clothes from the woman. A large T-shirt and shorts, they fit well except for being a tad on the short side. Even if there had been problems, they were certainly…
