“Are you coming now?” His voice was as haggard as his face. I couldn't say anything, just stood there blankly, looking at him appearing so different from my memories. Perhaps because I had received too many shocks during the day, my mind wasn't functioning properly. “I heard. You’re working at Mr. Nam's place.” Who else could have told him? Suddenly, the friendship between my father and Nam Gichul's father came to mind. Whichever one of them had contacted the other first, it would have…-

“I don’t. It’s okay.” “Your salary will be deposited in advance. If you need anything else, just tell me. That’s what friends are for. Helping each other out in times like these.” “Okay. I will.” Nam Gichul ended the call and stared at his phone screen. He seemed to have an appointment and hurriedly left his seat as if he was late. “Well then, I’ll get going. Don’t forget to contact me after work.” He waved his hand as he headed for the exit. I watched him without a…

"No, that's not it. It's strange that he always sleeps at home except for that one day." "That's right, that's right." It was an unexpected story. It hadn't even been a week since I arrived at this house, but I had never seen Managing Director Jang Taejin stay out overnight. I was such a light sleeper that I would wake up even at the slightest sound from the garden beyond the curtained window. Sometimes he arrived home at 1 a.m., and other times at 4 a.m. But the time he left was always the same. 6…

Managing Director Jang Taejin blinked his loosely relaxed eyes slowly and stepped closer to me. A scent I could never get used to thickly enveloped my whole body. “I like things stimulating and instinctive.” His scent, his gaze, rendered me powerless. Intoxicated by the scent that pierced my lungs, I felt as though I had lost myself. “If it's not intense enough to hit me right in the head, I don't get excited at all.” His gaze was hot, and like ice melting formlessly under the scorching…

The imposing stone wall was higher than any other house's fence. It was like a warning to those who sought this place. A silent pressure saying, "If you can't afford it, don't step inside." The mansion, standing tall and haughty, looks down as the wall turns its back on outsiders, embracing the estate. The intention to keep out riff raff is clear. At least, that's how it felt to me. Like I had stepped into a place where I didn't belong, like I was facing a hurdle I couldn't possibly overcome, I felt…

“I had an interview.” “An interview? With who?” “Yoo Soonyoung from Star News.” “Yoo Soonyoung? Did she cheat on you or something?” “Cheat…” “What did she ask?” “Sorry?” “What did she ask you about under the pretense of an interview?” Kim Jihee didn’t hide her disdain for Yoo Soonyoung. Urging the bewildered Euihyun with a “Come on,” she prompted him to answer. “About the drama I’m shooting and my plans for next year.” “That’s…-

The photo shoot, which had begun late at night, was continuing into the early morning. In the dimly lit studio, flashes burst incessantly. The photographer, shirtless, moved busily, chasing the subject. The camera shutter opened and closed relentlessly, determined not to miss the perfect shot. Despite the endless demands that could have worn anyone out, Cha Yiljoo remained consistently composed. Far from showing irritation, he didn’t even furrow his brow once. Thanks to this, the managers, who were…

Euihyun, unaware of what would come of it, silently followed the instruction. As his weight shifted onto the braced arm, the distance between him and Cha Yiljoo naturally closed. Without the camera, it would look like he was straddling Yiljoo. He had no idea where to rest his eyes. Oblivious to his discomfort, Yiljoo encouraged him. “It might be hard to get into, but for now, just think of me as a sexy woman.” He seemed to be trying to picture someone. The name he uttered was completely…

The daily two-hour weight training sessions made Euihyun forget the sense of season. During workouts, it felt like his joints and muscles were twisting, but after sweating profusely, the pain faded, leaving a refreshing clarity. At the call to stop, he leaned his upper body forward. Sweat dripped from his face onto the mat. His vision blurred yellow. His trembling limbs made even standing still a challenge. The trainer approached, checking a chart. “Compared to two days ago, body fat is down 0.2…

The first-week viewership rating for Monster averaged 2.7%. The production team encouraged each other, noting that for an eight-episode series, it wasn’t a bad result. The year-end was a busy and exciting time for everyone. It was hardly surprising that few viewers would stay glued to their TVs. Since they hadn’t set high expectations to begin with, there was no disappointment either. Though the broadcast had only just started, filming was nearing its end. The set remained as hectic as ever.
