“Can you see it like this… right here?” Should I be relieved that the doctor sitting in front of me isn’t my grandfather’s attending physician? Nevertheless, the calm expression of the doctor explaining while bringing a thin pointer over the X-ray carries the fate of a medical professional, who must remain composed while discussing tragedy. This too is something I have grown tired of seeing. I just never imagined that the subject would turn out to be me. I turned my head very slowly towards the…-

I pulled the chair closer. The hand that had been lay limp on the seat was warm. “Grandpa.” If Grandpa had been awake, he wouldn’t have been able to do this. Saying "Grandpa" out loud like that, or squeezing the wrinkled hand that seemed to have no strength left. “I know you held on because you wanted to take responsibility for Seon-uk until the end.” Old-fashioned as he was, Grandpa loved by taking responsibility. There weren’t many people he loved enough to feel that way. His late wife,…

…Why is that bastard there? The screen changed once more, proving that what I had seen was not a delusion. Instead of a side photo where his face was obscured by a mask, a large profile picture, clear in all features, appeared. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen, my mind racing. November 15th? The date felt oddly familiar. As I reflected, it dawned on me. That day was the Friday when Ji Seon-uk, usually busy, returned to buy me coffee after rushing out. It was also the day when Young-soo and I…

“I’m not really sure, but you seem like that kind of person. Are you going to look at land? You’re really trying to show off.” “Your charm could use some fading. It’s always astonishingly fresh.” Although we occasionally keep in touch, we don’t meet often, citing busy schedules as an excuse. Still, the absence of awkwardness is likely due to the camaraderie forged during a tough time we endured together. The older brother who smiled as if he felt a similar emotion led the way. “Do you…

“Was that your older brother's friend who just left? Does he have a girlfriend?” As Ji Seon-uk glanced at the door where Lee Ji-hoon had just exited, Young-eun couldn’t help but chuckle. Certain types tend to flock together, and it seemed like they had similar tastes. Not that I was close with Ji Seon-uk, but seeing her ask me as if I might know felt somewhat desperate, though I couldn’t help her. It was amusing to think that neither of us—whether it was me, who had just met him for the first…

“…….” - So... I think I overreacted a bit when you came. I thought, ‘I wouldn’t have done that, but you might.’ - I thought once things calmed down, I could contact you and resolve it, but the more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt. It felt like I went crazy over something trivial. It's awkward to just storm out and then contact you again. “…….” - So I couldn’t reach out. It’s not that there was another reason.” Still, for you, I must be someone worth…

With each punch, I muttered the names of classmates who had dropped out. This is for Kang Hyun-soo, this is for Kim Ye-rim, this is for Han Jong-woon, and this is for Lee Jeong-gu. I stopped only when I ran out of names. I looked down at the kid, who could do nothing but raise his arms to cover his face, unable to avoid the blows. “F*ck… I’m going to make sure you get f*cked up, you piece of sh*t!” His face, stained with the humiliation of spitting blood-mixed saliva, looked ridiculous. Because…

"The more I look at you, the more you look like someone who's good at picking up girls. If we go out together, it'll be fun when we're trying to pick up girls, right?" "...No, sir." "Why? Is she dating a six-year-older woman too, like you?" My head involuntarily went up. B chuckled and got up from the desk he had been sitting on. "Oh my, look at your expression." "……." "Are you upset? Because I said you and your friend are the same?" My shoulder was grabbed. The bastard, who was smiling except…

I know that the best course of action is not to react, yet I still couldn't hold back my words. I had clenched my fists tightly, wanting to strike, while looking directly into B's eyes to plead. "The photo you took from my room." "……." "It’s important to me. There’s nothing wrong with it according to the possessions policy. If you took it by mistake, I’d like it back." The senior detectives beside me exchanged glances, astonished that B had actually entered my room. Even though they had been…

“Hey. Who was that earlier? Jung? Jeong In-young? Whatever, that friend isn’t coming to the graduation ceremony even though he’s getting an award, isn’t that a bit ridiculous? If it were me, I’d rush over in just my underwear.” Throughout the graduation ceremony, Kang Young-soo, who had been buzzing around on the second floor with a camera, said this as soon as he saw us. He used to brag about getting perfect attendance awards, but it seems he was actually envious of receiving an award in…
