      NANOM Ch 11 Cover
      by mimi It was no use, even after I cursed him with every swear word I knew. I let out a sigh and continued to berate myself, but in the end, I hung up the phone and sent a text to Jihyuk. I was about to add the excuse that I was a little late because I missed my ride, but I deleted that sentence. I pressed the send button and nervously chewed on my lip. Hurry. Hurry. My heart was pounding unusually fast. At this point, I was almost completely exhausted. Even if it wasn't solely because of Jihyuk, I…

      by mimi Therefore, he was told that from now on, he had to pour all his energy into rehabilitation. The hospital he was currently admitted to was a university hospital of a considerable size, but the attending physician suggested moving to another hospital specializing in rehabilitation once his mother’s condition stabilized further. Searching online, it seemed that rehabilitation would require much more effort and expense, unlike the life-sustaining treatment they had been providing until now. The more he…

      NANOM Ch 9 Cover
      by mimi I was once again not under the sun that was beating down as if to kill me, but inside a car where the temperature and humidity were being coolly controlled. Today was the day I went to tutor Jihyuk. After finishing my preparations early and stepping outside, I saw a familiar car. My eyes widened. The chauffeur who got out of the car said the same thing he always did today and told me to get in. The fact that the comfort of the seat and the smooth ride with nothing to bother me now felt familiar was a…

      NANOM Ch 8

      NANOM Ch 8 Cover
      by mimi Today is the day Jiwon has his lesson, around 2:30 PM. It takes about an hour and a half to get there from here, and it's 12:30 PM now... So I won't be late even if I take my time. Luckily, I found a seat and leaned against the bus window, letting out a small sigh. No matter how many times I have been there, that mansion is still a place that overwhelms me. When on earth will I ever get used to it. But I soon straightened up the body that had gone limp and slack. It doesn't matter how I feel about…

      NANOM Ch 7

      NANOM Ch 7 Cover
      by mimi I showered until I was squeaky clean and wiped my entire body with a slightly damp towel. When I opened the closet, sure enough, only the short-sleeved t-shirts and jeans I usually wore for comfort caught my eye. They were clothes I had worn just fine all this time, but I don't know why they looked so shabby today of all days. After hesitating for a moment, I just pulled one out and put it on. It's not like I was going to do anything special with that kid, so there was probably no need to worry about my…

      NANOM Ch 6 Cover
      by mimi "Uh, yeah. ···I'm just going to grade this." Surprisingly, Jihyuk got all the questions right except for two. At this rate, it seemed he could handle problems at the same level as Jiwon. I thought I should raise the difficulty a little next time, and carefully handed the paper with the wrong answers back to Jihyuk. "···Should we take a look at this? I'll explain the ones you got wrong." Unexpectedly, Jihyuk listened to the explanation quietly. His downcast eyes grew sharper as he read the…

      NANOM Ch 5 Cover
      by mimi “...What?” In that instant, a flash of white light sparked in the pitch-black surroundings. The sound of pouring rain could be heard, as if the drizzle that had been falling a drop or two at a time since I arrived at the mansion had now swelled in volume. A beat later, a rumbling sound erupted from outside the window. In the darkness that once again dominated the room, I could not even breathe properly. I felt as if I had been struck in the head. “What... what are you talking…

      NANOM Ch 4 Cover
      by mimi “...Why, why do you want that?” A dumbfounded voice escaped me. Why did this boy keep coveting my insignificant belongings? And trivial, personal things at that, like a pen or a photo. The thought that this was a little strange automatically followed. However, the guard that had been stealthily rising immediately crumbled when I saw Jiwon’s harmlessly smiling face. “Just because. To me, you are both such great teachers, so it’s fascinating and nice to see you together in the same…

      NANOM Ch 3

      NANOM Ch 3 Cover
      by mimi I shouldn't keep comparing him with the other students I teach, but perhaps because they lacked much enthusiasm, they often couldn't concentrate throughout the class and would fidget. At worst, they would sneak glances at their phones. "Ah, teacher. An urgent message came in," they'd say, and then spend a long time replying in a group chat with their friends. However, Jiwon never did anything of the sort, so it was actually I who felt a taut tension throughout the class. Except for occasionally thinking…

      NANOM Ch 2 Cover
      by mimi I quickened my pace. I wanted to avoid, at all costs, running into someone who had done nothing but plant bad memories in me every time I had loitered around this vicinity. But unlike that time when I wandered around, not knowing the room, I walked toward the stairs with much more confidence. However, it was the moment I took a step to go up the stairs. A certain sound sharply caught my attention. I stopped in my tracks, frowned, and listened intently. It was undoubtedly a sound leaking from the door…
