WOP Ch 5.6
“Everything?” “Yes.” A faint smile touched Ha Joyoon’s lips. He blinked slowly, his breath catching in his throat. Then, following Kwonjoo’s movement, his shadow stretched across the floor. His head tilted back as Kwonjoo rose from his crouched position. Their eyes met, the air charged with unspoken emotions. “Come here.” “…….” When Joyoon simply stared at him, Kwonjoo grinned mischievously and extended his hand. The pre-dawn lobby was deserted, eerily…-

WOP Ch 5.5
“Yes, more than anyone.” It was a firm answer. The wounds they had inflicted on each other were still deep and raw. Both Kang Taejung and Ha Joyoon knew this better than anyone. The unintentional hurts, the hurts inflicted out of necessity for survival, and the hurts he himself had suffered as a result. Countless wounds, of immeasurable shapes and sizes, had left their mark on his heart. But he also knew that someday, they would fade into faint scars, and the pain would become a memory. Life…-

WOP Ch 5.4
Dear Philip, I received your last reply. Thank you for contacting me as quickly as possible despite the difficult circumstances. The news that my young friend is safe is a great relief to me. He was a precious friend I made while reporting, so I was very worried when I heard about him on the news. News related to Aleppo is frequently reported in my home country as well. I worry about you and my young friend every day. I often hear stories about you from Eddie. It's interesting how the you I knew…-

WOP Ch 5.3
A kind, warm voice called his name again. Kang Taejung finally burst into tears again at the affectionate call, as if comforting the terrible time he had to endure, and the words that followed. “You were my everything.” “…….” “You were my world… I wanted to show you everything I saw. The reason I picked up the camera was you….” At the bittersweet, deep, and brilliant traces of love, the irrational fear, dread, and trembling that had persisted like an anxiety patient…-

WOP Ch 5.2
“You…” Threatening cracks appeared on his smooth, sharp face. It was a harsh reaction, but it made him seem all the more wounded. A strange tension hung in the air. Frowning, he snapped, “Do as you please,” and climbed into his haphazardly parked sedan. Only after the car had completely disappeared did Ha Joyoon let out a soft sigh and start walking. His steps on the marble lobby floor were heavier and slower than usual. After an hour's drive, they arrived at a quiet reservoir far from…-

WOP Ch 5.1
A small recorder and a few thin documents were scattered across the conference table. Tension hung in the air as those present listened to the voice emanating from the speaker and read the contents of the letters. “We’ve made contact with the whistleblower. It seems the scale of this is larger than we initially thought.” “…….” Tap. Tap. A hand tapped the table rhythmically with the end of a pen, a graceful, habitual gesture. After a long silence, the man began to lay out the thoughts…-

WOP Ch 4.6
Six months. A period of time that could be considered both short and long. There were moments that flashed by like lightning, and others where time seemed to stand still, each second stretching into an eternity. It felt as though different clocks, governed by the relativity of his emotions, danced freely across the large dial of his life. Those six months had been filled with an inexplicable sense of confusion and chaos, yet he couldn’t deny that they had been a turning point in his life. It had…-

WOP Ch 4.5
“…The person who said he was waiting for you.” The words he spoke wounded him the most. He knew better than anyone what they signified. He tightened his grip on his fists, his whole body trembling. “…….” For the first time, Joyoon didn’t answer Taejung’s question. He simply stared at him with an unreadable expression. The unspoken affirmation, conveyed through silence and his body language, made Taejung swallow the bile rising in his throat. “You seem close to this…-

A notification, shaped like an envelope, shimmered on the screen accompanied by a vibration. Taejung, deeply engrossed in drafting detailed plans, slowly shifted his gaze. Finally, deciding he couldn't postpone it any longer, he reached for his phone, which had been discarded in a corner of his desk. 「The weather's quite cold today. Dress warmly for work.」 「Hyung, it's that sleepy time of day. Get some fresh air while you work.」 “……” His expression remained unreadable as he…-

WOP Ch 4.3
“Haah…” An unconcealed sigh of exhaustion escaped his lips. The gentle back-and-forth sway of his head stopped abruptly. His dark gaze shifted towards a distant wall in the living room. Beige silk wallpaper, a dark brown sofa, a minimalist console, and a small painting came into view. A painting gifted by someone he couldn’t even recall. The artwork held no particular sentiment or significance for him. Yet, contrary to his cynical observation, the image of someone else who, quite naturally,…-
