FAZER LOGINSitting in his theater seat, Kim Gang-mu was at a point where he could practically fall backward in sheer disbelief.
How on earth was that indifferent Hyeon-sin receiving such obsessive interest from LF? On top of that, even the aura of the usually cold Ga Gye-yeong was highly unusual.
“Gang-mu, seriously, what on earth is the relationship between those two? The tension is way too sticky. Same goes for Gye-yeong.”
“Tell me about it.”
On the
Ga Gye-yeong took a brief breath and scanned the panoramic expanse of the rooftop garden.Though the view beyond the glass walls was peaceful, the air inside was sharp enough to cut, charged with Kim Gang-mu’s fury.As expected, Gang-mu was livid. It was a natural reaction from a friend who never hesitated to offer cold advice, always warning him not to look sideways and never to waste sympathy on lowlifes.Yet Gye-yeong absorbed the fury without a flinch. The youth had already grown uncontrollably large in the depths of his heart, rendering any advice useless.“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t cut this kid loose. I can’t get him out of my head.”“Ga Gye-yeong! Get a grip, please!”Han Gyoo-ryeon stepped between them, waving his hands in a desperate bid to mediate.“Hold on, Gang-mu, let’s calm down, alright? And Gye-yeong, if you’re trying to keep him close with
A week had passed since then.Although Gang-mu did not step forward personally, he poured his utmost sincerity into caring for Hyeon-sin, assigning four dedicated nurses to look after her. It was the result of his meticulous attention to ensure she could rest and remain safe from outside eyes.When he closely observed her daily life through the CCTV monitor, she was puzzlingly well-behaved. The sight of her leaning against the bed all day long, doing nothing but reading books, was almost uncanny. In particular, she never tried to meet anyone separately, nor did anyone contact her to pay a hospital visit.It's not that her social skills are lacking, so does she really have no friends or acquaintances to interact with?Gang-mu arranged a brief moment to call Hyeon-sin out to the rooftop garden to have a talk.The sun-drenched rooftop in July was blazing hot, but the rooftop garden cafe, sealed off by glass walls, was incomparably pleasant. The moment
#75. [The Hermit—Fragments of a Broken Heart]“...You do not have to treat me. I will just leave.”Hyeon-sin whispered in a voice as tiny as a mosquito, staring only at the floor. Her back looked as if it might crumble to pieces at any moment, and unable to leave it at that, Gang-mu roughly grabbed her wrist as she turned to depart.“Not to Gyoo-ryeon either. Leave that company as well.”“Yes. I know. Of course I won't go back there.”Hyeon-sin's tears showed no signs of stopping. She repeatedly wiped her eyes with her free hand, but new droplets continuously spread across the damp back of her hand.Watching this innocent and sorrowful surrender, Gang-mu felt like a peerless villain driving a blameless, young beast into a slaughterhouse.A sticky ache welled up in a corner of his chest. For the first time, Gang-mu questioned his own sense of justice, wondering if his decision to erase this sma
LF's behavior had already crossed the line, and Hyeon-sin felt the need to tell Gang-mu the truth to escape from this swamp of misunderstanding.“First of all, it's not the relationship you are thinking, Doctor.”Gang-mu snorted, twisting his lips. A low sneer filled the interior of the car.“As if.”“...If we were truly dating, would he leave a person he made a wreck like this to take the bus alone?”“That is true. How is your body feeling?”Had it not been for the painkillers Gang-mu had given her, Hyeon-sin would not even have been able to straighten her waist today. However, as if the limit of holding out had arrived, cold sweat kept seeping out above her forehead.There was no way her condition could be good, but Hyeon-sin, who hated to explain her pain, merely shrugged her shoulders and replied dryly.“Well, there's no way it could be good.”As Hyeon-sin f

Same goes for Gye-yeong.”“Tell me about it.”On the other hand, a look of complete amusement bloomed on Han Gyoo-ryeon's face, as if he were watching the most entertaining show in the world.“Our enchanting part-timer is really something else. LF is completely infatuated. Just look at those eyes, staring so tenderly at nothing but the wounds.”“That's exactly why it's a big problem.”“At this rate, isn't it going to ignite a bigger fire in Gye-yeong?”Gyoo-ryeon's concern hit the bul
A movie date on a Sunday afternoon.At Ga Gye-yeong's sudden proposal, Hyeon-sin felt as if she were experiencing a whole year's worth of surprises packed into a single day. Yet it was also a wonder that six consecutive seats were even available for a popular movie in Gangnam, and somehow, this bizarre combination of six people found themselves heading into the theater.“We need to assign the seats! I'll be in the middle, Oppa Gye-yeong on my right, and LF, you sit on my left. Part-timer right next to LF. Done! Oh, and you two oppas, please go to the upper row.”Because Hyo-jin insisted stubbornly, Gyoo-ryeon and Gang-mu were banished to the row above, leaving the four of them sitting side-by-side in the row below.“As long as I am next to S, it does not matter to me.”With LF's languid voice serving as the finale, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the previews began.Hyeon-sin stared blankly at the
