      by soapa “All checked?” Won Madam asked, sipping the juice Heewoo had brought. “So, what’s the real reason? You only act like this when you want a favor.” Won Madam shook the half-drunk fruit juice. “I’m planning to move rooms.” Heewoo said, having verified the debt records were in order. Lately, he’d been even more cautious. The memory of encountering Kim Jinhwan in person had made him extremely wary. Even as a kid, he’d always buckled his seatbelt in cars. Truth be told, he…

      by soapa Sungyeon was very annoyed by Yoohyun dragging him away without a word. Beautiful fireworks were still bursting in the sky, where did he think he was going! He should go by himself! … is what he wanted to shout. Earlier, when Sungyeon suggested they go home, Yoohyun wouldn't listen, but now, as soon as the most exciting part, the fireworks, started, he was suddenly in a rush to leave. At Yoohyun's mood swings, worse than a teenager going through their rebellious phase, Sungyeon imagined…

      by soapa "Already?" Sungyeon was startled by the grumpy response to his suggestion to go home. It was already well past 9 p.m. The first part of the performance on the stage in the next zone was nearing its end. "Um, Sunbae? Even though I won it, people keep staring at this teddy bear, and it's embarrassing. Also, I thought you might be tired." "I'm not tired." So resolute. Sungyeon gave an awkward laugh as he looked at Yoohyun, who insisted he wasn't tired. Hwang Yoohyun, staring intently at him,…

      by soapa As Hwang Yoohyun finished speaking, Bokseung tilted his head. “The festival?” “Yeah, I’m going to check out the festival.” But I just saw you with my own two eyes heading towards the parking lot without even glancing at the festival grounds? Seongyeon was bewildered by the sudden mention of the festival. Hwang Yoohyun and a university festival. It was a terribly mismatched combination. “Sunbae-nim, weren’t you going home?” “Nope, changed my mind.” Despite…

      by soapa So, on the second day of the festival, Seongyeon ended up hanging out with the Beagle Trio. “So, yesterday, the bus was absolutely packed, you know? I’ve never seen our school so densely populated.” “Whoa, dude. I saw Hooringies in person, so I have nothing more to wish for. They’re so freakin’ pretty in real life. Goddesses? No, fairies! Yeah, they were fairies.” “The pajeon at that club’s stall was amazing. We’re going back today, right? Gotta feed our Bokseung!” Whether…

      by soapa It was past 1 AM, and the road was so deserted it felt chilling. Hwang Yoohyun's anxiety finally began to subside as the car sped along the empty road. “Hey, Hwang Yoohyun. I've been thinking, you know?” Sunjung, who had been glued to his phone screen, suddenly spoke. “Thinking about what.” “I think I'm certain about one thing.” Uncharacteristically, Sunjung hesitated, not continuing his sentence. The car stopped at a red light, and a frustrated Yoohyun turned to look at…

      by soapa The vinyl greenhouse was a steamer. It was also ridiculously huge. Isn't it illegal to build it this big?, he grumbled internally, listing all sorts of nonsensical complaints. A fan whirred incessantly, spitting out hot air, and loud trot music blasted through the speakers. Out of the five workers, excluding the greenhouse owner, Mr. Jang, only Taeheun was panting. Everyone else, as if this kind of work was nothing, wore long sleeves, sang along to the trot music, and chatted. The man was one of…

      by soapa 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.…

      by soapa “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,…

      by soapa 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,…
