FOOL Ch 9
Chapter 2. Wave Except for one brief stop to refuel and use the restroom, we drove non-stop. It had been ages since I last sped around like this, and my spirits lifted a bit as I pressed the pedal to the floor. I had expected him to be talkative, but Woonu turned out to be unexpectedly quiet. As we were getting closer, I started to feel restless and yawned. Woonu, seemingly apologetic for dozing off on his own, would occasionally wake up to ask if I was tired. Despite my telling him to just toss it…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

Woonu sat with his hands intertwined and his head bowed in silence. He didn’t even ask where we were going. He seemed pretty set on doing whatever I asked and, once my business was over, bid me farewell and leave. “Where are you planning to board the boat? Busan or Incheon?” “What?” “If you don’t have a passport, you must be trying to smuggle yourself over. So, where’s your first stop—Japan or China?” Receiving no response, I cast a fleeting glance to the side. Woonu…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

FOOL Ch 7
As we left the restaurant, I heard a trembling voice behind me. “Doctor.” “What?” “You said before that I was pitiful, right…? Are you doing this because you still find me pitiful?” What did he want me to say when he asked in such a straightforward manner? Should I say no? The tongue that shot out words one after another, the glaring eyes, and the rough hand that grabbed him. I want to pull them out, stab them, and cut them off. “Yeah. I think you’re pitiful. You’re…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

“Have you eaten yet?” “I’ll eat later.” I was at that stage where, as indifferent as I was, I slowly started to learn Woonu’s language. “That just means you haven’t eaten. Let’s go have lunch. What do you want to eat?” “I’ll pay. In return, I can’t buy you anything expensive. Let me go get my money.” “Stop messing around.” “I owe you a lot, so I really want to buy you this.” “Do you even know what I like? And what if I'm in the mood for something…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

FOOL Ch 5
The me who had spent sixteen years with my family had been spending the last seventeen alone. My maternal uncle and aunt would be sad to hear this, but if we’re talking about real family, this is the reality. Even now, my uncle mourns the loss of his younger sister, niece, and brother-in-law. I’m glad to have a relative who can cry on my behalf. Thinking about my mom led me to wonder how Woonu was doing. I’ve never waited, so I’ve never been disappointed. All I did was scoff, wondering, what’s…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

“Here.” The bare-looking branch, with all of its blossoms having fallen off, trembled beneath the fingertips holding it. “It looked pretty, just like you, Doctor, so I broke it off while thinking of you—” “I told you I’m not a doctor.” I snatched the branch and stole the bag off his wrist as well. Inside was an oily, ochre-coloured paper bag containing several donuts of various shapes, each caked in sugar. I took out a twisted donut. It smelled of old oil that’d been used…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

What am I supposed to do with a steamed bun that's frozen solid like a rock? Just the fact that he didn't think of such a scenario beforehand, even though we were in the middle of the winter, told me that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He seemed to be under the impression that I left the house every day because, after the persimmon incident, the things he left for me kept increasing, ranging from carp-shaped bread to even rice cake sticks. With each new item, a strange sense of guilt began to…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

FOOL Ch 2
I grew up without a shortage of anything. Like many children from affluent families, I had an unrestrained personality, but I was still surrounded by friends nonetheless. Maybe it was because I was tall, but I was popular among the girls as well. Being quite smart, I did well in my studies even without having to attend cram schools. I was the type of boy who, though not the leader, belonged to the intersection of a group that ostracized the poor and the insecure, always remaining on the sidelines. Then,…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

FOOL Ch 14
The emergency room entrance was swarmed with police cars. Inside, the floor was awash with blood, and chaos reigned as people rushed around in a panicked frenzy. A hospital worker desperately mopped the floor, but the motion only smeared the blood further. Nearby, a young woman hooked up to an IV whispered into her phone, recounting what had happened to her friend. Allegedly, just ten minutes earlier, a tragedy had unfolded: a man had stormed in and stabbed a gangster—already nursing a head wound—a…- 31.5 K • Ongoing

Even the lights of the convenience store flickered a faint white, as if the only distinct things in the area were the viper and Woonu’s eyes. We picked out some stuff like cup ramen, triangle kimbaps, and hot bars before paying for the man’s cigarettes and banana milk. After pouring water into our ramen, we sat side by side and gazed outside. Woonu was used to silence, and so was I, but strangely enough, I wanted to talk. Yet again, I called forth the mirativity inside me. “That wheat noodle place…- 31.5 K • Ongoing
