      TIN 1

      TIN 1 Cover
      by Emerlyn There were things that come to mind when I close my eyes. The scorching sun, the shimmering ripples that seem to break, the sound of crashing waves, and the pungent smell of seawater mixed with humid air. The events of that day when ordinary things were suddenly turned upside down for me. '...What is this?' I remember the moment when a beam of light seeped into the pitch-black darkness. My shoulders, crammed into a narrow box, ached, but the space was too tight for even a small groan to escape. My…

      TIN 19 Cover
      by Emerlyn "Why are you looking at me like that?" But I couldn't exactly ask him that. What would I say? ‘Do you know I'm that “hyung” from back then?’ He had already noticed, and was just pretending not to know, wasn’t he? "It's nothing." At least I didn't get shot. After witnessing such a scene, I couldn't easily bring up the topic. "I was just looking." No, the truth was it wasn’t just that. Honestly, it wouldn't be too difficult to prove I was the same person. There are many memories…

      TIN 16

      TIN 16 Cover
      by Emerlyn Gasp! A strangled sound escaped the son as he choked and gasped for air. Before he could even let out a scream, he froze up, becoming as rigid as a board. The droplets of blood that burst from his father splattering across his pale skin like paint. "You should have known your limits." It was a shockingly gruesome sight. A crimson liquid sprayed wildly from behind the middle-aged man standing there. Beneath the limp body lay a pool of blood soaking into the pristine white marble. The talkative…

      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 85

      TIN 85 Cover
      by Emerlyn "..." I knew what he must be thinking. Due to habits ingrained in my body, I would instinctively shrink my shoulders whenever he touched me. It was a defense mechanism born from tension over what was to come. However, unfortunately, that wasn't the only reason this time. When his hand touched me right then, my stomach trembled. Ah, damn...why am I acting like this? Even though it was just the lightest brush, the part he touched felt hot. The reaction, which was subtly different from a fever,…

      TIN 84 Cover
      by Emerlyn Noticing my condition, Joo Do-hwa suddenly reached out toward me. He brushed my forehead with his large hand, then smoothly moved his hand down to my cheek and stroked it there. "Are you sick somewhere?" "..." A sweet fragrance wafted over to me. I wasn't sure if it was the perfume I had sprayed on or Joo Do-hwa's pheromones. Feeling my hair stand on end for a moment there, I reflexively swatted his hand away. "...Ah." Honestly, I regretted it immediately. The moment I pushed him away, his…

      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…
