      by Ember heart — Chapter 57   Yoon Dong-won arrived home in a car driven by someone else, completely drunk. As he entered the house, he kept thinking about the old interview materials that had been strangely lingering in his mind, as well as the elderly man he had met back then. The house had become incomparably larger than before, but there was no warmth of human presence inside. It felt cold. It was not that the temperature inside the house was low. It was more like the soul of the house had disappeared.…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 56   At a luxurious bar in Cheongdam-dong, a middle-aged man wearing an expensive-looking suit and coat was sipping whiskey. “Are you not going home again today, Representative?” “Manager Nam, every time you ask that even though you already know the answer. Should I take it to mean that my coming here makes you uncomfortable?” “You know very well that’s not the case. Why would I deliberately chase away the best VIP of our establishment? I just hope your relationship…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 55   Kim Si-min drove to Uijeongbu Prison, which also served as a detention center, as if his house were on fire and immediately requested a visitation. A little while later, Kang Chan-su appeared in the visitation room. He had put on quite a bit of weight. “Judging by your expression, I guess things went well.” “Lee Jin-young was sentenced to twenty years.” “……!!” Kang Chan-su's eyes widened as much as they could. Apparently, he had never imagined that Lee…

Back then, it used to be packed with students in school uniforms, and it was a place filled with memories of stuffing tteokbokki into their mouths while constantly glancing toward the school gate in case a teacher from the student guidance department suddenly showed up. But now, several years later, there were more office workers coming from…

Dream (2) The moment Choi Hyuk parked his car in front of the main gate of his old school, he let out a long breath. Seeing the iron fence outside the car window and the school name sign hanging above it, he was overcome with nostalgia. How long has it been since I came here? It was his first visit since graduating from high school. Even the unique, slightly musty smell of the dirt rising from the school field was…

Dream (1) Choi Hyuk parked his car in front of his parents' house on the outskirts of Gimpo and immediately started walking. The familiar wall, the low roof, and even the smell of soil at the end of winter. He often came here to see his parents, but every time he visited, the scenery seemed different, perhaps because of that, it always felt somewhat unfamiliar. Creak. When he opened the gate and entered, he felt…

The tablets and laptop screens on the long oval table all lit up at once, while two cameras glided through the air, moving smoothly as they filmed. Normally, this was a space where people would chat until just before the meeting began. But today was different. Without anyone saying anything first, the sound of people nervously swallowing could be…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 49   Aiden was already standing a step away, staring only at her lips. Yet, somehow, she felt more suffocated now than when she was wrapped in his arms. She had agonized over what to say dozens—hundreds—of times, but now, standing right in front of him, the words wouldn't come out. Aurelia was someone who had always tried to live without hurting anyone. ‘And yet, in the end, I have to hurt the person I cherish the most.’ Of all people, why did it have to be Aiden?

      by Ember heart — Chapter 48   “I never had any intention of telling you in the first place. What’s the point when I already know what you’d say?” Aiden let out a faint sigh and bowed his head deep at Leonar’s words. It was half true, half lie. He knew all too well how Leonar would react if he confessed what had transpired between Aurelia and himself: a baseline level of indifference, coupled with a string of harsh, biting remarks spawned by that very apathy. ‘Still, the truth is I really wanted to…
