I arrived at Wong's restaurant, a large hall of tables on the first floor of a ramshackle mall. He was shooing away lingering customers while hanging up a sign in Chinese that said "Sold Out." His forearms, which turned the wok daily, had grown more muscular, and his hair was trimmed short, like grass, indicating a recent haircut. Watching him haggle with customers was amusing. Although I couldn’t understand, it seemed he was persuading them to come back tomorrow to eat. Despite his curt tone, he was…-

On the day that Han Jae-yi was returning to Germany, I had a one-day layover in Hong Kong for my flight. The time we landed at Hong Kong International Airport was 4 PM. After resting for a full day, I would return to Incheon at 5 AM the next day. This schedule was practically an overnight flight. The co-pilot on the same route looked very young. I was more curious about how many times he had sat in the cockpit than the total flight time. He kept swallowing dry saliva and repeatedly checked the…-

Han Jae-yi left it at that and chewed his food. Meanwhile, I took a sip of the drink. It was tea with a hint of corn flavor. Setting aside the responsibility to eat a lot, I leaned back in my chair. It seemed I had succeeded in drawing out some of his inner thoughts. Showing a willingness to listen more, Han Jae-yi slowly passed the food and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he spoke again. "I told you, friendship is the only thing that lasts. I thought it would be possible with you. You're…-

Why did I feel compassion for Gisella Weber at that moment? I wanted to reach out and grab her by the shoulders. No, you don't have to feel that way. I wanted to tell her that if anyone should walk away from this messy relationship, it should be me. While I was still trying to figure out what to say, she was speaking out her prepared remarks. "I don't know if he thinks of you as more than a friend or not. You don't know either, and that's why we're doing this, so let's stop this charade. I can't get…-

The child was wearing pants that looked like they had been modified from leather trousers, with a large kangaroo pocket around the chest. I took out a bill from my wallet and handed it to the child. "Do you want to put this in your pocket?" "Yes." He took the money and tried to put it in his pocket. He didn't know how to fold it, so it crumpled and kept sticking out of his pocket. Careful to avoid touching the child as much as possible, I took the bill back, folded it into quarters, and put it in…-

I was climbing a tree without fear. The rough bark fragments were embedded in the palms of my hands. I stretched my undeveloped legs as far as they could go and firmly anchored them onto the branches. Just when I thought I had made it, the branch I grabbed onto broke. My arms flailed wildly, making a scraping sound against the tree trunk. I desperately clung to the tree with all my might. Chris's voice calling out to me echoed in my ears. "Maxi, don't move! Crying, I fell to the ground. My brother's…-

Fortunately, it didn't rain when we got off the plane at Singapore International Airport, but torrential rain started while we were taking a taxi. Since the layover period was only one day, there wasn't much time for sightseeing, so it seemed like a good outcome. We checked into our hotel and were about to go upstairs when a group of room attendants offered us dinner. We don't usually eat together like this. We were all tired from the long flight and would have preferred to enjoy some private time. The…-

"Mr. Co-pilot, if you'll excuse me, may I ask why you got divorced?" I asked as politely as I could, and with just enough nuance for him to say no. The Co-pilot smiled broadly. "You're finally asking! I was getting a little tired of waiting." It was quite the answer. He downed the shot of water-filled soju glass, saying it was customary to have a drink and talk about it. Then, in a voice barely audible to our companions sitting across from us, he whispered to me. "My girlfriend broke up with me…-

I went outside to the car and opened the door. I brought back the bag of bread that was thrown on the backseat. I ate one croissant with milk and tore open another bread. The more I felt lonely, the more hungry I became. I turned on the TV to fill the empty house with human voices. I tuned into a cheerful variety show and ate my bread. Suddenly, the flour dough I was chewing seemed to trigger a stomach cramp. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited what I had eaten. Just when I felt miserable, my phone…-

I stepped on the accelerator pedal and drove the car to the villa. Although it was a short distance, the warning sound for the passenger seat belt rang out. It quieted down only after switching to parking mode. I readily agreed to his suggestion of having a cigarette before going up from the car. They stood side by side in the smoking area next to the parking lot and lit up. I've been smoking more and more lately. I didn't intend to quit, but I think it needs to be reduced. Cho Min-woo smiled and said…-
