He tried to sleep with the man but failed. Drinking and going to bed early was torture. Normally, this was just the beginning of his night. He stared at the ceiling and sighed deeply. “Why did I quit Judo, you ask?” The words tumbled out. “Judo’s great. You don’t have to brawl like those punks, no need for kicking. Just grab their sleeve and those bastards are on the ground beneath you in an instant. It’s so simple. Don’t you think? But the thing is, people don’t know moderation.…-

“Should I set the table on the porch?” “Yes.” The man still didn't turn around. Taeheun picked up the round aluminum table that was leaning against the living room cabinet. He opened the screen door, set up the table, and placed the bag of chicken on top. The dogs, thinking he was their owner, approached, then backed away. Unlike in the morning, they were wary, baring their teeth and growling low in a menacing manner. The saying about dogs biting at night seemed to be true. Just then,…-

As he stepped into the yard, the dogs, even upon seeing Taeheun, remained calm. They didn't wag their tails in greeting, but at least they recognized him as someone who belonged there. The mutts were quite smart. The man, who had packed the child's lunch and prepared breakfast at dawn, had also somehow found time to do laundry. The clothes Taeheun had taken off yesterday were already placed in front of his door. Sniff, sniff. He smelled them. It was probably the same factory-made detergent,…-

The man, fresh from the shower, startled as if he'd seen a ghost. “Why? Am I not allowed to wake up early?” The man shook his head and stepped aside from the bathroom door for Taeheun. Taeheun quickly relieved himself before showering. He knew the water would be cold, but it was even colder than he'd anticipated, making him jump. He hadn't brought any underwear from his room, so he hastily wrapped a towel around his lower body and dashed back inside. “Soy sauce eggs for…-

There was nothing like TV to clear one's head. "Mr. Gibeom, is it okay if I watch TV?" "Yes? Ah, yes." Taeheun casually walked into the main room and turned on the fan first. It was surprisingly ancient, even older than the one in his own room. He turned on the TV, but for some reason, only the public broadcasting channels and MBC were available. Only three channels! It was a shock. Even in more rural villages he'd visited, everyone had cable. What on earth did this man do for fun? "Do you…-

Ilkwang Financial's state-of-the-art digital CCTV system from last year was obviously not going to be in this rural village. Realizing his mistake belatedly, Taeheun scratched his eyebrow and followed the Youth Association head. "It's recording in real time, right?" "Uh, I think so," the head replied uncertainly. "It's been about two and a half hours since I came in here, right?" "I don't know." "Can you find the footage from then?" "Hold on." The head turned on the TV and fiddled with…-

The village hall was a two-story cement building, plastered with posters that spoke of bygone eras. According to the directory, the main hall and small hall were on the first floor, while the offices were all on the second. Upstairs, the Youth Association, the Women's Association, and the Village Council each occupied a room. The children's playroom seemed unused, its sign covered with black tape. "Our village hall was selected for a national pilot project. See that camera? That's a security camera. Our…-

Chewing on the unlit cigarette, Taeheun returned to the restaurant. While paying for the meal, he borrowed a coin. He went to the public phone and paged someone. After hanging up, he looked at the man. The man was sitting with his back rounded, diligently working with his hands. The cold noodle bowl meant for bones was piled high with picked-clean remnants. Taeheun intended to wait outside until the man was finished, but just then, the man looked up. Thinking Taeheun had just entered, he…-

DHG Ch 10
"Your heat cycle may return once your body recovers." This was the most important thing to be aware of. Heewoo listened with narrowed eyes. "It's actually better to go through your heat naturally without suppressants or symptom relievers..." The doctor, who had been about to encourage sexual relations with an alpha, looked at the monitor displaying the patient's basic information and added thoughtfully, "But since you're young, I can prescribe medication if you'd like." Heewoo nodded. He…-

DHG Ch 9
During that period when his life felt like it was held in pawn, Heewoo often found himself thinking of his mother whenever he had a spare moment. Her curly hair, her lips painted a vivid red, a mother who sparkled with youth like a truly beautiful older sister. It was Kim Jinhwan who had delivered the news of that futile death. ‘Is this Heeran noona’s keepsake?’ It was an item Heewoo remembered too. The necklace his mother would occasionally wear on special days. A pendant that could be…-
