Chapter 9 “Enough. That’s far enough.” Jihoon raised his right hand. Eum looked aggrieved. “Why? Why won’t you let me finish?” “Because everything you say with such a serious expression is completely ridiculous.” “That’s not true.” Even as Eum grumbled that he was being too harsh, she eventually said what she had wanted to ask. “Why did you wait for me today?” When Jihoon fell silent, an awkward stillness settled over the car. In the dim interior, with…-

Chapter 8 Eum devoted herself to preparing for the CSAT day and night. She wasn't lacking confidence in the exam itself. Studying had been her only friend throughout her lonely school life, after all. She was actually confident that she could get a Grade 1 in every subject. The problem wasn't her grades. Since the condition was that not a single mistake could be allowed, what she needed was mental training. Taking a listening test amid noise. Solving long reading passages while holding back…

Chapter 7 Time passed. There were now only about two weeks left until the CSAT. It was the time of year when students preparing for the exam and even their parents became increasingly sensitive, while everyone lived almost like monks in order to maintain their condition. But not every exam-taker was the same. “Teacherrrr!” Ever since the conversation about her marriage to Assemblyman Park, Eum had come to see Jihoon every single day—no, several times a day. She had become like a summer…

Chapter 6 After finding out that Jihoon had left the school, Eum could no longer live her life normally. She could no longer concentrate on studying, and the CSAT, the most important exam of her life, had been pushed to the back of her mind. The only thing filling her thoughts was Seong Jihoon. She shed tears, but she didn’t cry. She didn’t even know whether she had the right to cry. Classes were over. The students streamed out of the classroom like the tide going out, leaving Eum alone. She was…

Chapter 5 Ever since the day she had been half-embraced by Jihoon, Eum felt as though she had been placed under a spell. Whenever she looked up at the clear blue sky, she saw his face, and the rustling autumn leaves carried his scent. Even when she listened to English listening exercises, she heard Jihoon’s voice. To her, the entire world was Seong Jihoon. Eum knew that what she had was lovesickness, but although she had diagnosed herself, she couldn’t find a cure. In that state, her…

Chapter 4 When she turned her head, she saw her younger sister, Yeon Bora, with her face pressed close to the car window. Bora had placed the side of one hand against the window and leaned in close, apparently trying to get a look inside the car. Caught completely off guard by the sudden situation, Eum swallowed nervously. “I should get going now. Thank you for today.” Eum hurriedly put down the jacket and opened the door. She opened it only as much as necessary, worried that rainwater…

Chapter 3 Ieum finished her pre-meal tea and quietly set the cup down. Representative Park, a year older than her father, Changshin, was sitting across from her with a greasy smile. “Hello, Ieum. It’s nice to see you again.” The glossy suit, shimmering under the lights, reminded her of a silver hairtail that had been caught and kept for far too long. The way his eyes subtly looked her up and down was just like those of a rotten fish. She had never believed that she would only have to eat…

Chapter 1 It was one day, deep into autumn, when Yeon Chang-shin came to see Ji-hoon. “Marry my daughter.” At the principal’s office of Hyesung High School. Ji-hoon, who had been savoring the tea he had brewed himself, calmly set down his teacup and spoke. “I don’t think I’m the person you should be saying that to.” “Of course you are. I’m looking for a bride for you, so naturally I’m asking you.” Yeon Chang-shin was Ji-hoon’s former teacher and mentor, as well as…

Chapter 21 “Don’t worry. Seoyeong is a good person. You’ll become friends soon. Until then, I’ll help you as much as I can.” “Mm-hm. Seo-yeong. Together.” Youngju smiled as she answered the slime. The slime then turned its gaze toward me and reached out its hand. Judging from the flow of the conversation, this was probably… a handshake, right? “Yes. Let’s get along well.” Reaching out to shake hands with a slime required quite a bit of courage. However, without…-
