Invitation to the New Seoul (9) He tossed me a gauze towel and spoke curtly. "Take off your clothes and wipe yourself with that." I froze, unable to bring myself to pick up the towel he had dropped. ...Why should I wipe my face with a towel you’ve used? Is this another one of your ways to torment me? "If you tell me where the bathroom is, I’ll wash up properly." "Wash up?" "My clothes are covered in blood. I need to wash them." He gave me a pitying look and, as if it was too…-

Invitation to the New Seoul (8) "They say the biggest hole in the world is in the eastern part of the US. How big do you think it is?" He lowered his head and whispered, his breath brushing against my ear. It was a slow, quiet breath. "Washington D.C. disappeared. I woke up one day, and an entire state in the US was gone. So, where do you think the second biggest hole is?" His breath slowly caressed my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "France. The Eiffel Tower disappeared. All the…-

Invitation to the New Seoul (7) The wolf, now cornered, suddenly turned and started running. The man took his eyes off me and fixed them on the wolf retreating at full speed. He spun his sword and shouted. “Aim for the alpha!” A short girl with a childish face responded. “I’ve got it!” She aimed at the alpha wolf like a national archery athlete. The tension in the air was so tight it felt like I could hear the sharp twang of a taut bowstring. The moment she released it, the…-

Invitation to the New Seoul (6) "Grrrrr, grrrrr, grrrrr, grrrrr!" "Ruff, Ruff, Ruff!" The dogs, gathering below, jumped, trying desperately to bite me. But it didn't seem easy for them to jump over the 2-meter wall. Fortunately, there was no time to catch my breath. I sprinted along the narrow wall, heading in a direction where the dogs couldn't herd me. "Grrrrr, grrrrr!" "Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff!" I even ran into another house over the wall on purpose. But with their strong…-

Invitation to the New Seoul (5) I gripped the steering wheel of the car that wouldn't start no matter what I did. I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and not panic. "Yeah, it's obvious the car won't start. It's normal for it not to start. If you leave it here like this, won't the battery completely discharge?" I muttered to myself, trying to comfort myself. "Stay calm. Woo Hyunho, let’s stay calm. There must be another way." It would be better to have a vehicle that doesn’t…-

Invitation to the New Seoul (4) I once spent a year as a shut-in after graduating high school. I stayed in my room, reading books, watching dramas and movies, and playing games. I don't want to delve into the reasons why because it makes me feel miserable, but at the time, I had this thought while watching a disaster movie. The main characters should just stay put. Why do they have to satisfy their curiosity and rush into dangerous places, causing accidents? Seriously, if you're not an expert,…-

A Visit from a Strange Being (2) I tugged Toya’s collar. The arrow left her hand, flew into the air, and then rolled on the floor with us. Bang! “Ugh!” Unlike me, who slipped and hit the floor shoulder and arm first, Toya nimbly straightened up. “Whoa, these things go all the way to the end!” She knelt on one knee and stretched out her arm. At the tip of the bow she held, three arrowheads glinted simultaneously. The bowstring, drawn taut by her fingers, touched her lips. The…-

A Visit from a Strange Being (1) “This way!” As soon as I arrived on the first floor, Toya took my hand as if she had been waiting. She started running, pulling me along. It was the opposite direction of the flow of traffic. I turned my head and looked at the military vehicles. The vehicles were headed towards the south retaining wall. It was near the stream where Wolf Fang had dragged me by a rope around my neck. From that direction, numerous sounds of barking dogs and howling wolves…-

Misunderstandings and Truth (4) Before I could gauge his intention, Lee Yiseon pulled me by the wrist. I widened my eyes in surprise. It happened so quickly that there wasn’t even time for a scream to escape. I stumbled and was pulled into his arms, awkwardly ending up sitting on his thigh. Leaning against his solid thigh, my body stiffened involuntarily. Not a word escaped my mouth. Still not fully grasping the situation, Lee Yiseon, who had kept his mouth closed until now, finally…-

Misunderstandings and Truth (3) * I lay down on the sofa in the mechanical room and let out a deep sigh. "Hah." I stared at the little bag of drugs with a complicated expression. I had received it, but now that I was about to use it, I hesitated. If I took it once and it didn’t work, I would have to use it repeatedly, and what if I got addicted? Is this really the only way? Feeling troubled, I grabbed the backpack by my feet and pulled out my cellphone. When I turned it on, the…-
