INM 5 Part 8
Though it was still broad daylight, the young man had said this in a dim, secluded corner of a cafe. The intense Brisbane sunlight struggled to break through the open window, almost melting him as he stubbornly remained in the darkness. The loud laughter of people enjoying the moment and the cries of insects trying to burn out the moment echoed outside the window. On a bright, cloudless day. Who lived more brilliantly? With the noise of the outside world in the background, the young man…-

I managed to reach my apartment door and unlocked it as I leaned against it, ignoring the disinfectant that spilled from my hand onto the floor as I collapsed onto the sofa. Something like sediment seeped from deep inside me and pinned me to the couch. I hadn't realized how exhausted I was. All I felt capable of was mindlessly scrolling through social media, but unfortunately I had left my device on my desk out of habit. Resigned to doing nothing, I looked around the room. As an interior designer's…-

INM 5 Part 6
When I first met him in that bar, and every time we met after that, he always had a disguise. When Sam and Oliver first visited my office, the photo they showed me was of such an ordinary young man that even I was a bit surprised. I recognized him immediately because, unlike Alexandra, I had met him several times. Alexandra nervously finished his glass and began to make a second kir. "I accidentally said I didn't remember. Should I contact the police?" "Yes, I think that would be best… Hey,…-

INM 5 Part 5
This area was known for its lively nightlife, but it was also a bustling place during the day. Brick buildings, cafes and the red gates of Chinatown gave it a bright, safe atmosphere created by sober, healthy people. But as night fell, it revealed its slightly dangerous side, known as a place to be cautious in Brisbane and its environs. I arrived at Fortitude Valley station fifteen minutes before our meeting time and sat down on a western red cedar bench. As I tapped away at the keyboard, my companion…-

Mr. Lucas Potter. Hi, this is Chloe. Thank you for coming to the university the other day. Today I send this message with an impertinent request. I heard about the letter from Victor. Could you show me that letter as well? There is something I want to confirm. I am sorry for making such a presumptuous request. I await your reply. Sincerely, Chloe Meyer. The third sleepless night began. I stretched out my hand to check the clock. It was 8 a.m.,…-

INM 5 Part 3
Still, at the last moment, before Megan could turn the visitor away, I managed to lift my head from the desk and pick up the intercom. I asked to let the visitor into the room, then cleared my desk as usual and headed for the entrance. "I think it's time I let you come in without having to check every time." I suggested this to my childhood friend, who entered the entrance with ease. He had said he'd come by in the evening, so I expected it to be him. But he arrived much earlier than I expected, not…-

I deliberately sipped my cup, savoring the refreshing flavors of green tea and chamomile, then stood up. Passing the glass table and my desk, I opened the door at the back of the office. There, on the bookshelf, was a box I had almost forgotten about. I had been too disgusted to touch it, but having someone to check the contents with made this ordinary beige box seem truly ordinary. Closing the door behind me, I returned to the sofa and placed the box on the table. Under the watchful eyes of the two…-

Chapter 5: Promise "I'm telling you!" With another sigh, I ran my hands through my cool blonde curls. "It's true that it's not the typical chair shape that everyone imagines, but at least it serves its purpose as legs, right? Right? This curve is great! And it can hold a lot of weight…" I was so engrossed in my speech that I grabbed the mug on my desk and took a sip, almost unconsciously. On the other side of the desktop screen, which I bought for its design, the other person was as engrossed…-

INM 4 Part 7
"You had become incredibly attractive in the two or three years we hadn't seen each other after I graduated from university. The person I thought I needed to protect was no longer there. But I..." Brian let his words trail off. His eyes wandered as if searching for the right words, and then he continued. "Anyway, your concern was painfully overwhelming back then. I relied on you so much that I couldn't think about tomorrow without you." "Brian..." The memories of those hospital days I tried not…-

INM 4 Part 6
I felt an irrational anger and violently broke his gaze that seemed to take everything away from me. "I care about you too. Besides, even if I don't give you permission now, you're already a big part of my life. We're childhood friends." In response to my words, Brian let out a low growl. "You..." Brian reached out his right hand and grabbed my chin, pronouncing each word. It didn't hurt at all, but I was extremely surprised and very angry at the same time. "What are you doing?" "Even…-
