NTH 17
“Birds?” “Yeah. Wanna see? There’s gotta be some birds around here.” Nana put his fingers to his mouth and made a sharp whit, whit sound. Suddenly, five or six birds swooped down from somewhere and perched on his shoulders and arms. Jeha, stunned by the surreal scene, froze with his mouth half-open, a rare occurrence for him. Nana, however, looked completely unfazed, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “They just come when I call. I don’t know anything about…-

Jeha let out a small chuckle at that. “You didn’t answer why you always wear the same clothes.” “Oh, these are just from a three-for-ten-thousand-won T-shirt bundle I stole. The jeans were a buy-one-get-one deal too. They’re my only summer clothes, so I rotate them, but I don’t just wear the same thing every day without washing.” “You stole them…” “Yeah. To be honest, I often just wash the T-shirts. I don’t have a washing machine, so I hand-wash everything, and jeans…-

NTH 15
On a clear, cloudless autumn day, the College of Humanities held its annual sports festival. Wanting to cheer on the English department students, Jeha, along with his colleague Professor Min, bought a bunch of refreshing drinks and headed to the main athletic field. While being greeted with ear-splitting enthusiasm by the students, Jeha caught sight of someone crouched in the back row of the stands and, once again, doubted his own eyes. Wearing the same black T-shirt, jeans, and black baseball cap as…-

NTH 14
About ten days later, the day came to pick up the two pairs of leather shoes. Haegyeom, accompanied by the same servant, returned to Doyaji’s house. He stood before the wicker gate, expecting to see Meokmeoki diligently working on the platform as before, but the platform was empty. Neither Meokmeoki nor his tools were there. The courtyard felt desolate. The startled servant shouted loudly, “Is anyone here?” After calling out a couple of times, the door of the thatched house opened, and the…-

“That makes sense, now that you mention it. So, can this guy make shoes that fit me properly?” “Of course! All those fine leather shoes for the noble gentlemen were made by… I mean, not by this guy, but by Doyaji. This one just helps with odd jobs alongside me,” the elderly man said. The elderly man’s words didn’t quite add up, which felt odd, but the one rumored to make shoes with uncanny skill was Doyaji, not Meokmeoki. Haegyeom nodded and asked him to make the shoes well. The…-

“The guy in the corner?” “I only noticed there was someone there after Mr. Cheon pointed at him, but, ugh… It was so gruesome that even though I hadn’t eaten anything, I almost threw up.” Still visibly shaken by the memory, Nana grimaced and continued with difficulty. “The guy was passed out, and around him, on the floor, there were about five or six teeth that had been forcibly pulled out and two bloody finger stubs just lying there like trash.” “Huh.” “Seeing that,…-

“Huh? That doesn’t add up. You’re only thirty-one years old? I thought you were at least forty or something.” Jeha nearly choked on the Americano he was drinking but managed to hold it back. He had never heard such a comment in his life. “I didn’t realize I looked that old.” As Jeha responded with some effort, Nana, who was scooping up mango from the parfait, replied with a casual expression. “No, your face looks young. But don’t you have to study for, like, twenty years after…-

“There are too many eyes here, and it makes me a bit uncomfortable.” Nana looked directly at Jeha’s face and nodded as if in agreement. “Well, if someone who looks like you was around, even I’d want to stare. Alright, hurry up and order. I’ll be nice and go to your office with you, even though it’s a hassle.” As Jeha pulled out his credit card, he racked his brain, wondering if in his nearly thousand years of life he had ever met someone as brazen as this. No one came to…-

NTH 9
Jeha, as a university professor, was unusually bombarded with gifts from students. Various chocolates, coffee, caramels, macarons, jellies, candies, vitamin drinks, energy tonics, royal milk tea, Ceylon tea, grain tea, and even a beverage with a pine tree illustration that made it impossible to guess its flavor. Every class, his desk was packed full with an abundance of such snacks. Since it was prohibited for a professor to accept even a single can of coffee from students, Jeha politely asked them to…-

“They beat up that guy Soondeok right away, but he absolutely wouldn’t confess who he’d been messing around with, so they were about to roll him up in a mat to make him talk when the magistrate happened to walk in, they say.” So, was it a lovers’ quarrel after all? Or should it be understood as Yeonyeong’s private property being tampered with by someone else’s hands? Either way, it would likely be difficult to formally report it to the authorities, and it seemed even more impossible for…-
