ASD 10
“...What is this?” Gawon stared at Gijun, who had sat down in front of him with a nonchalant expression, with a look of utter bewilderment. Gawon, who had been sitting alone at a four-person table like an isolated island in a faraway place, seemed quite flustered when Gijun sat in front of him without any warning. In fact, Gijun had wanted to sit in front of Gawon just like this starting from the very next day, yesterday, when he had asked Gawon to eat with him and been rejected. However, his…-

ASD 9
“I’m hungry. Want to go to the snack bar?” It was a few days after he had been dragged away by Heo Yeonggyu's group and heard about Gijun. Around the time the first period had just ended, Gijun, who had suddenly approached him, asked that question. For a moment, Gawon couldn't help but be bewildered. He looked back, then glanced around from side to side. The guy sitting behind him was sleeping, and there was no one else nearby. Gawon blinked and asked back. “...Are you talking to me right…-

ASD 8
There was a time when his mother disappeared. He wasn't sure if he was eight or nine. When he opened his eyes, his mother was gone. He had known since he was little that his mother worked at night and returned in the morning, so that day too, he went to school without thinking much of it. But even when he came home after school, there was no sign of his mother. Usually, his mother's face, lying as if dead from sleep or alcohol, would greet him upon his return. That's when he started to think…-

ASD 7
“...What’s there to laugh about at school.” He said it in a deliberately brusque manner because he was clumsy at hiding his feelings. He didn’t want to get caught having all sorts of useless thoughts just from their eyes meeting for a mere second or two. However, Gawon soon regretted his harsh response. It must have sounded like the petty lashing out of a perpetual outcast. It would be a relief if this kid didn't hit him for being in a bad mood, as other kids often did. “True. That’s a…-

ASD 6
Gawon put on a padded jacket with all its stuffing gone flat and slung on a bag he had neatly packed with this and that. Then he turned the key to lock the old door and left the house. He had confirmed that his mother had returned home safely, so his walk to school felt a little more reassuring. However, he had been delayed a little because his mother threw a fit, as if having a seizure, when he tried to change her clothes. The bloodshot whites of her eyes, the sniffing, the unfocused gaze that stared…-

ASD 5
“More, more. Junhyeong, stop defending and break through! Maintain your distance. Gijun is reading all your tempos right now! Don’t tuck your head! A short uppercut is coming in, block it!” The gym director’s urgent voice boomed over the ring. Gasp, gasp. The body of his opponent, who was breathing like he was about to die, had already half-collapsed. The rash guard clinging to his body was soaked in sweat, constricting his body even more tightly. The raw breaths created by their bodies…-

ASD 4
Gawon stood in front of the kettle, rubbing his frigidly numb hands together. If he forgot to boil water, there would be no water to drink in the evening, and he would have to spend precious money on bottled water. His head felt groggy, having studied late for the first time in a while and then gone to sleep. Yesterday, while browsing a used market app, he had managed to get a few workbooks that had only been filled out in the front pages for free. He was lucky. Fortunately, he got new textbooks too.…-

ASD 3
“…What?” Heo Yeonggyu let out a dumbfounded voice. He still had one hand gripping Gawon’s collar, the other foolishly raised in the air. “Which bastard was that, fuck.” “……” “I said, which bastard was it!” Heo Yeonggyu, who came to his senses a beat later, shouted with a face that was turning red and blue. Now that the new semester had just begun, he was posturing with more bravado in his shoulders and neck than ever before. It was only natural for him, a guy who…-

ASD 2
Soft snowflakes fall from the gray sky. A fingertip carefully brushes one off where it has gently landed on the bridge of my nose, and it turns to water and drips away. Gawon hunched over, rubbing his arms repeatedly with his hands to ward off the brutal, encroaching cold. A chilly wind seeped through the gap in his sneakers, the toes of which were completely worn through. To hide the hole that seemed to have gotten a little bigger than yesterday, he surreptitiously tucked the tip of that foot behind…-

ASD 1
Click, clack. The sound of footsteps on the corridor floor fell into a straight line. About ten hosts, adorned as splendidly as flower petals, crossed the dim corridor. Upon reaching the door, the manager standing at the front gave an instruction in a whisper. “Serve them well. If any complaints come in, I’m putting them all on your tab.” Then, the sharp gaze of the manager, who was wearing a microphone, glinted in the darkness. Knock, knock. After a careful knock, he opened the door with a…-
