INM 8 Part 1
Chapter 8: Brisbane’s Dawn "Luke, you're too nice to people." One day, after I had been living at Grandma's house for a while, she said this with a slightly grim expression on her face. "Is this a bad thing?" "It's the wrong order. Before you can be kind to others, you must first be kind to yourself. "But everyone praises me for it. Even the teachers." "You don't need to listen to the words of people who praise you for receiving kindness from a child who doesn't even know how to…-

I could live without a pillow. Moreover, this pillowcase could be the catalyst for an endless desire for things. I was very worried and afraid that I would be tormented by a thirst for material possessions. After agonizing for about half a year, I bought the pillowcase. The moment I put the pillowcase on the pillow I bought was an indescribably wonderful feeling. Just as I had imagined, I placed the pillow on my bed. At that moment, my room, which had been gray, suddenly seemed to light…-

INM 7 Part 5
Chloe, who noticed me first, jogged over to me. It was clear from her expression that she had rushed over because she was worried about me. Her face relaxed when she saw me, but it was still a little stiff, carrying the remnants of her previous fear. I hurried over to her and spoke as I approached. "Chloe, everyone. What's going on?" "What's going on? We have been waiting and waiting for an answer from you and we were afraid that you might do something reckless!" Kasim said…-

INM 7 Part 4
Maybe five minutes had passed. With his head still in his hands, Ethan asked me. "What are the things you hate?" "Uh, what do you mean?" "You said it earlier. That Alan and I shared the same thing that you couldn't forgive. Even though all our other ways of thinking were completely opposite". "Oh, that. You said something about burning books." I replied, remembering my conversation with Alan with a slightly clearer head. "You said something about burning books being the antithesis of…-

At my last words, Ethan's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he was thinking about something. While I focused on his reaction, I threw a stone at him. "For example, why did you major in computer science?" "Because it is very cost-effective." His answer was so smooth that I, who asked the question, was stunned. As if he had been preparing it for a long time. Or as if he had always told it to himself. The young man continued. "This world cannot function without computers and systems. People…-

I lifted my eyes from the cup and looked at Ethan. The young man didn't seem to be paying much attention to my story, and he seemed to be focused on what I had just said about telling Alam to stop seeing him. What a young man. He was straightforward, arrogant, and quick to respond, but he was also a pitiful creature, easily influenced to the point of confusion. "Well, most of it was about his father." When I asked him with my eyes if he wanted to hear that story, the young man shook his head,…-

Chapter 7 In My Own Words The young man led me to a casual dining bar a short walk north of my office. The lights were set brighter than usual for this time of night, reflecting off the off-white walls and creating a soft atmosphere throughout the place. The green of the obviously fake potted plants looked even more out of place against the night lighting, but strangely, the cheapness was somehow comforting. It was a flavor I liked. This bright, friendly and unobtrusive interior was a salvation…-

It took me a full two beats to realize the malice in those words. After a moment of silence, as if to confirm that I couldn't react, the man continued quietly. "No, of course you were just trying to use your skills to cheer up your wife… but it was only four days after she lost her son before you visited her. Didn't you feel guilty for comforting a woman who had just lost a child? Sorry, that was poorly worded. I just wish you had been a little more considerate about the money involved." With each…-

I looked down involuntarily. One of the buttons around Brian's stomach was missing from his white shirt, and the hem was sticking out of his pants. Through the gap I could see his well-defined abs. Even in such disheveled clothes, Brian closed off my escape route and took my breath away gently and precisely. What I needed more than anything was space to think clearly, and I needed it now, even if it meant sacrificing myself a little. When I was unable to express my wish, Alexandra, who had been silently…-

INM 6 Part 5
Thinking of Alan and the students I had recently become friends with, I couldn't help but grimace. Feeling like my feet were about to give out, I furrowed my brow. "There's no way I'm such an important person who can influence others." "This thought is your biggest cancer. You know it deep down, don't you?" "Shut up...!" "It's fine if you stubbornly underestimate yourself, but because you don't take responsibility for your words, you end up messing with others!" "You're the one who doesn't…-
