The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air like an unwanted ghost. Fluorescent lights hummed quietly above, casting a dull glow over the clinic’s narrow walls, but Soo-ah couldn’t feel any of it—his eyes were locked on the unconscious form resting on the infirmary bed.

Sang-woo was still.

The white bandages wrapped around his torso had turned pink at the edges. Though the bleeding had slowed, each shallow rise and fall of his chest was a silent reminder of how close they'd come to losing him.

Soo-ah sat quietly in the chair beside the bed, his body stiff, hands clenched tightly in his lap. His own bruises and minor wounds had already been treated, but he hadn’t left Sang-woo’s side since they returned from the ruined laboratory.

No one had spoken to him about what happened. No one dared. Even Naelle had paused at the door earlier, hesitating, before turning away with a brief nod, as if giving him space to breathe—or drown—in the silence.

“Sang-woo…” Soo-ah’s voice trembled.

  • My Model (BL)   Side Story 4

    The war had ended quietly.No fireworks, no grand speeches. Just silence — the kind that follows years of chaos, when the world finally exhales after holding its breath for too long.Soo-ah walked along the pier, the sea wind tugging at his coat. Istanbul’s skyline shimmered in the distance, but for the first time in years, there were no shadows chasing him, no missions waiting in encrypted files. Only the soft rhythm of the waves and the scent of salt.He’d thought peace would feel easier.But peace came with ghosts.He reached into his pocket, pulling out a small silver lighter — old, dented, and engraved with the initials D.H.Devin Harlow. His partner. His rival. His—something more.A voice broke the stillness behind him. “You still carry that thing?”Soo-ah turned, breath catching before he could stop himself.Devin stood there — alive, real, smiling faintly beneath the soft amber glow of the pier lights. His blond hair was shorter now, slicked back instead of messy, but those oc

    The war was over — at least, that’s what everyone kept saying. The missions, the blood, the betrayal… all of it had ended months ago.But for Soo-ah, peace didn’t come easily.He stood by the window of a safe house in the hills of Prague, watching the snow fall in slow, silent spirals. His breath fogged the glass, but he didn’t move. He wasn’t waiting for anyone — at least, that’s what he told himself.Behind him, soft footsteps broke the stillness.“Couldn’t sleep again?” a voice asked quietly.Soo-ah didn’t need to turn around. He recognized that voice anywhere.“Devin,” he said softly. “You shouldn’t be up either.”The blond man leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression unreadable in the dim light. “Sleep doesn’t work for me anymore. You know that.”Soo-ah smiled faintly, without humor. “Guess we’re both broken, then.”Devin pushed away from the wall and walked toward him, stopping beside the window. The reflection of the snow painted his face in cold silver. “You

    The war had ended quietly — not with explosions, not with the roar of collapsing towers, but with the faint hum of the morning city after too many sleepless nights.Soo-ah stood by the window of the small apartment overlooking Seoul. The sunlight crept in through the blinds, touching her skin like a hesitant apology. It had been weeks since they dismantled Lazarus’s network and exposed the corruption buried inside their own agency. Weeks since she last held a gun, or looked over her shoulder expecting to see a target’s reflection.Now, there was only silence.But silence, she was learning, could be its own kind of noise.Behind her, the kettle clicked off. Sang-woo poured tea into two cups — simple green ceramic ones he’d found in a small shop near the harbor. He carried them over, setting one beside her.“You’ve been awake since before dawn,” he said quietly.Soo-ah didn’t turn. “Old habits.”Sang-woo leaned against the wall, watching her profile in the morning light. Her hair was lo

    The world outside was still recovering from the storm.Rain had washed the streets clean, leaving the air heavy with petrichor and the scent of wet earth. The city lights shimmered against puddles on the asphalt, refracting colors like fragments of a shattered dream.Soo-ah sat by the window of the safehouse, a thin blanket wrapped around her shoulders, the faint glow of her tablet lighting her face.Her hair was still damp from the rain, a few loose strands clinging to her cheek. The clock on the wall ticked steadily — 2:13 AM.For once, there was no mission briefing, no encrypted calls, no danger clawing at the back of her mind.Just silence.And that was what scared her the most.Every time the world went quiet, memories returned — the ones she’d buried under layers of discipline and duty. The screams from the lab. The smell of smoke. The way Sang-woo had looked at her that night when he told her “Don’t you dare die on me.”She shut her eyes, trying to focus on the soft rhythm of r

  • My Model (BL)   Epilogue — The Quiet After

    The night sky above Seoul was bruised with clouds, heavy and dark, reflecting the chaos that simmered in the city below. Sirens wailed in the distance, their cries cutting through the silence like ghosts that refused to rest.On the rooftop of the old agency headquarters, Soo-ah stood with the cold wind tearing at her hair, her gun steady in her hand.This was it — the final confrontation.Behind her, Sang-woo climbed up the stairwell, his face lit only by the flicker of flames rising from the burning lower floors. The building they once called home was crumbling — both literally and morally. Everything they’d believed in had been twisted, and tonight, they would end it.“Are you sure this is where he’ll come?” Sang-woo asked, walking up beside her. His voice was calm, but his eyes — those sharp, steady eyes — were alive with fury.“He has to,” Soo-ah replied, scanning the horizon. “He started all of this here. He’ll want to end it the same way.”Lightning flashed across the clouds. F

  • My Model (BL)   You mean me?

    The night sky over Seoul burned crimson.Helicopters hovered in the distance, their searchlights slicing through the smoke that curled above the collapsed structure of the old agency headquarters. The sound of sirens, the distant rumble of explosions, and the soft hiss of rain blended into a single, chaotic symphony.Soo-ah stood amidst the wreckage, blood seeping from a cut along her temple. Her breathing was shallow, her body trembling from exhaustion, but her grip on the encrypted drive never faltered.Behind her, Sang-woo stumbled forward, one arm pressed against his side where a bullet had grazed him. “You got it?” he asked hoarsely.She nodded, wiping the rain and blood from her cheek. “The files… everything. The proof of Project Kestrel, the names, the chain of command — it’s all here.”He exhaled shakily, relief and disbelief mingling in his voice. “Then it’s over.”But even as he said it, they both knew it wasn’t.A faint crack echoed through the ruins — the unmistakable clic
