      LLU 7 Cover
      by mimi Since I couldn’t have my mother sit next to him, I sat in the back with him, and my mother ultimately had no choice but to sit awkwardly in the passenger seat. The atmosphere flowing through the car was uncomfortable. It was a pressure I had never felt when I was sitting across from my mother, having a meal just a moment ago. The man sitting next to me was someone who made even the air we breathed together heavy. To desperately ignore the sense of oppression that kept pressing down on my skin, I fixed…

      LLU 8

      LLU 8 Cover
      by mimi Life with my mother in a tiny one-room apartment narrowed my world like a well. Inside it, I had to simply accept whatever was given to me. Even when I couldn't understand my mother's choices, her intentions, and the environment that surrounded us. Why was I born into a single-parent family? Why, no matter how hard my mother worked herself to the bone, did our wretched poverty never improve? Why did my mother give away everything she had so easily to such pathetic men...? The answers to such questions…

      LLU 9 Cover
      by mimi I tossed the workbook I was looking at aside without a care and, as if it were my own house, familiarly retrieved the first-aid kit. This kind of thing repeated itself without fail just when I was about to forget, so the series of actions flowed as naturally as water. Gritting my teeth, I applied medicine to the buttocks and the back of the thighs of Junwoo, who was lying prone on the floor. With every touch of my fingers, his firm muscles twitched and spasmed. After putting a large hydrocolloid bandage…

      LLU 10

      LLU 10 Cover
      by mimi This much should have been enough to get the message across. Chairman Choi couldn't be completely ignorant of his own son's temperament. No matter how much you try to hide it, angular parts are bound to stick out and be noticed. It was a new move I had placed. Instead of being a sharp stone that rolled in, I would become a pitiful and innocent young thing. I want to be acknowledged by the man who will remarry my mother, and also by my new brother—I never realized before what a vomit-inducing word…

      LLU 11 Cover
      by mimi Rage swirled in my chest. To what lengths could this man go just for his own amusement? Was grabbing someone by the hair and slapping them, or placing the woman his father was trying to remarry and her son on the palm of his hand and toying with them, nothing to him? "Seriously, are you... a psycho?" "Don't be insolent." Choi Junghan's lips curled up. It was that characteristic, infuriatingly arrogant expression. "I could grab you by the hair right now and drag you downstairs to where your…

      LLU 12 Cover
      by mimi Pioon spent the night in the room he was given as if he were dead, and then crept out of the house like a stray cat as soon as the sun rose. Junghan smiled as he gazed out the window at the figure hastily moving away as if fleeing. If he had slept quietly in his room, I would have given him a ride. He figured he could play chauffeur a second time, having already done it once. He had already done the ridiculous deed of personally going to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic to pick up that mother and…

      LLU 13

      LLU 13 Cover
      by mimi Only a few days were left in the year. Everywhere you went, the streets were abuzz with the year-end and Christmas atmosphere. The cafe where I worked also put up a tree and adorable wreaths. It had always been a day that had little to do with me, but I couldn't help but feel a little excited. Kim Junwoo must have felt the same way, as he kept pestering me, saying that regardless of the college entrance exams or whatever, he wanted to hang out for a day with a carefree mind. As I happened to be…

      LLU 14 Cover
      by mimi “I won’t be seeing your face anymore.” Without waiting for a reply, I hung up the phone. Ha. A hollow laugh burst out and then died down coldly. My chest trembled with anger. Wheezing, ragged breaths escaped me. If I followed my temper, I would have thrown my phone, but I stopped at just the thought. It wasn’t right for me to get worked up all by myself in someone else’s house where everyone was sleeping. I roughly pulled the covers over my head. After glaring at the phone screen, I…

      by mimi I’m on a trip with my mom and that Mister I’m bored I could almost hear his giggling voice in my ear. I furrowed my eyebrows, but a smile played on my lips. Right... why did I do that To be honest, it's comfortable and not bad here either... but it's still boring I'm leaving tomorrow anyway. Let's meet up as soon as I get back Where would you come when you're so busy preparing for college entrance exams? While grumbling like that, I found myself imagining it. What it would be like if…

      LLU 16 Cover
      by mimi “Welcome. How did you get here? The weather is so terrible.” “Mr. Junghan! Welcome.” A boisterous greeting continued at the entrance. Seeing Chairman Choi’s face light up as he welcomed him, it seemed that madman had really made an unscheduled visit. No, perhaps he had intentionally come on the last day to fool even Chairman Choi. Because he could have predicted that if I had known about his planned visit through Chairman Choi, I would have definitely left in the middle of it. In the…
