The carriage crossed the sky. Clatter clatter, it sometimes encountered birds and sometimes sped through clouds. It felt like an angry wave was crashing inside my stomach. The weather would abruptly turn cold enough to freeze my heart, and then hot enough to melt my mind. And from a certain point, a familiar landscape began to appear outside the window. A place where buildings, large and small, were clustered together like toy blocks. Thump thump, my chest pounded like a drum. As the ground grew…-

Lemon guided him. The inside of the cave fell into silence in an instant, and I quietly sank into thought. I was mulling over the words the doctor had left behind. “…….” Suddenly, Bulkan stood up abruptly from his seat. Then he began pacing around the cave. He muttered to himself incessantly. “Should I just bury it in the dirt? No, no. Then those damn things in the soil would try to decompose the body. It’d end up disappearing, leaving only bones.” Then he suddenly stopped in his…-

Taming: The act of domesticating a beast. Gradually leading toward a purpose. ☀️ I drifted in unconsciousness for a long time. A vast sea. I surrendered my body to a world where waves gently rocked. Here, I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t know loneliness. There was no poverty, no suffering. It was truly peaceful. I couldn’t remember the last time I rested so quietly. I wanted to stay in this calm forever. But a voice kept calling from somewhere. “…Odeu.” Why did they keep…-

Feeling embarrassed, I bit my lips. I felt terribly guilty for eating it all without offering any. “It’s okay. I’m so happy to see you eat well,” Lemon said, sniffling as if genuinely pleased. “Where did it come from?” “Oh, Mr. Bulkan went to the surface for you, Priest.” It didn’t taste like store-bought kimchi, so it was likely stolen from someone’s home. Imagining Bulkan walking into a mart or convenience store to buy something fairly was hard to picture. “There’s…-

"What are you talking about, I'm worried about you." "What?" As if he had heard something unexpected, Bulkan's eyes opened wider than usual. "You said you were worried about me?" And then, he let out a loud euhaha! and started laughing. He seemed to find it so funny that he rolled on the ground, pounding the floor of the square with his fists, kwang kwang. For a moment, with the heat flaring up all over my body, I just stood to one side, looking down at him. I bit my lower lip hard. "There's…-

How was I supposed to return to the cave like this? My mind was filled with worry. But then, the black carriage I had left behind was waiting in front of the house. “How did this get here?” There was no answer. Bulkan flung open the carriage door and set me inside. “Don’t move a single step from there.” He issued a stern warning. “Where are you going?” I asked urgently, but bang! The door slammed shut. I peered out through the small window. Bulkan was running into the…-

My name is Gu Myeongha, and I’m twenty years old this year. According to my grandmother, I was a well-behaved child from a young age. She said I never once cried or fussed for toys like other kids my age. “You grew up too fast. Your eyes always looked like those of an old soul.” She often said this with a self-deprecating tone. A shy child usually doesn’t stand out. But the problem was my unusual family background and appearance. I first realized this when I started elementary…-

As the darkness began to thin and the worry spreading like wildfire in my chest grew stronger, a loud noise came from outside. With a crash, the door burst open, and something collapsed at the entrance. At first, from a distance, I thought Bulkan had returned from another night of hunting. “…Wait, what’s that?” But as I got closer, the familiar shape made me cover my gaping mouth with my hand. The massive, pitch-black figure… was Bulkan’s body. His tongue hung limply from his…-

Haengbok grew differently day by day. Perhaps his playfulness was starting to emerge, as he kept chewing on pillows and blankets, so I wove some yarn around a twig to make a toy for him. I stopped fidgeting with my hands and clutched my lower abdomen. It was because I felt a small movement. “…Ah.” Letting out a soft groan, Lemon furrowed her golden eyebrows and asked. “Is it kicking again?” I gave a bitter smile and nodded. The thing inside my body was starting to settle in…-

“Grrrr.” The male beast bared its jaws and growled at me. The reins were clearly tied to the carriage, but I couldn’t tell when they had come loose. Seeing one of the heads biting a muzzle in its mouth, it seemed they had torn at each other’s with their teeth. Given Cerberus’s intelligence, it didn’t seem like a calculated move—more like a stroke of luck from thrashing about in frustration. The important thing, though, was that I was completely screwed. Sticky saliva dripped through…-
