      by chef "The numbers are steadily rising, so there doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about. Let’s decide on discharge after reviewing the ultrasound results. Honestly, I’d prefer to keep you here a little longer, but... if I do, I feel like something even more chaotic will happen." "Yes, yes, that’s right. I completely agree with you, doctor." "Who am I to say anything when people keep bringing in outside food every mealtime, coming and going as they please, and turning a shared hospital room into…

      Ch 67 Cover
      by chef It was a relief that Dr Rowoon was there. Ji-an, who had been reassured by the thought that everything was in harmony, felt pathetic for finding solace in such a thing. But suddenly, why build an indoor garden? When had he ever said he liked flowers or plants? Of course, no one outright dislikes nature, but still. Why does this man have no middle ground? "And this is..." Mm, was this the reason? Because he didn’t know what Ji-an liked, he prepared everything just in case. It felt the same as…

      by Blankkpappers A biting wind whipped through the air, carrying snowflakes that howled like a storm. Only a handful of people braved the streets, bundled in thick down jackets, their faces completely covered by hats, earmuffs, and masks to shield themselves from the cold.   Photographer Liu Ying adjusted his camera, searching for the perfect shot of the snowscape. He was preparing to enter this year's World Photography Competition and had traveled far and wide, yet he still hadn't found a scene that truly…

      by chef "The blue crabs are plump, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to make crab stew after a long time." Eunsook slowly walked through the fish market, inspecting each item with her own eyes. It had been so long since she had personally done the grocery shopping. Every time she finished speaking as if talking to herself and moved on, the items she mentioned were quickly packed behind her. When she used to run the business, she would wake up at dawn to personally purchase the ingredients for the day. There were…

      by chef "…Absolute rest. You do understand what that means, don’t you?" Ideun sat motionless, tightly holding Ji-an’s hand as he lay in a hospital bed once again, hooked up to an IV. How many times had Ji-an ended up here over the past month? And every single time, he had heard the same words. "Let him relax, both mentally and physically. His pheromones and hormones are acting up at the same time, which means just breathing is exhausting for him. So why does he keep passing out and getting brought in…

      Ch 64 Cover
      by chef Ideun, who was about to approach Ji-an, turned his gaze toward the sound of a knock, watching as the sliding door was carefully opened. Seeing a servant holding a pillow and blanket, he found himself at a loss for words. Just what was going on? Had they really brought a pillow and blanket because they intended to let him sleep? Taking the items from the servant, Ideun passed by the old woman. Ji-an, who always suffered from nightmares whenever he slept, seemed to be resting peacefully this time.…

      by chef Ideun, confirming that the elegant wooden mansion was engulfed in wavering flames, followed the van carrying Secretary Baek. When the vehicle stopped in a back alley of a bustling district, Ideun took out two pills and swallowed them. After confirming that Secretary Baek had gotten out of the van ahead, he also put on a mask. Ideun's eyebrow arched crookedly as he followed through a small door nestled between filthy, narrow alleyways instead of the main entrance. Who would have thought that he would end…

      by chef Unlike when he had melted softly in Ji-an’s presence, tension filled Ideun as he stepped into the villa. ‘You’re saying you harmed yourself?’ As he descended to the basement, Ideun first put on the gloves handed to him. The previous night, he had lost control and struck the doctor, leaving a small wound on his hand. He hadn't even realized he was injured. It had been quite a hassle to evade Ji-an’s persistent questioning about where, how, and why he had hurt his hand. Upon reaching the…

      Vol 4 Ch 10 Cover
      by chef Now that it was just my mother and me, I often found myself gazing out of the hospital window. As I watched the white clouds stretch across the blue sky like angel rings, my eyes drifted downward. A tree that had always looked bare and desolate now had fresh buds sprouting from its branches. It felt like spring was finally approaching. Feeling the wind brush against my cheek, I kept staring outside. The breeze still carried a lingering chill, but I didn’t feel cold at all. "Yeowon." I…

      by chef Though I spent most of my days at the hospital, I always returned home at night after switching shifts with the caregiver. The house was devoid of warmth, offering me no comfort. But still… I kept coming back. Perhaps—just perhaps—CEO Jang might return. Four days had passed without sleep. My body, at its limit, finally succumbed when I sat on the couch. As expected, the nightmares came. Tossing and turning, I clawed at the sheets with trembling fingers, searching for…
