      KMH – Chapter 10

      KMH – Chapter 10 Cover
      by Peach Moose A black sedan cut through the city, submerged in the night. Brilliant lights poured over Jukyeong’s face as she leaned her temple against the window. Looking back, she hadn’t always been afraid of being trapped somewhere. She’d only realized something was wrong with her—only become conscious of it—after she’d been stuck in the attic with Seju. And at the beginning of that fear was the memory of her staring blankly as her father’s coffin went into the cremation chamber. When the…

      ATTEW – Chapter 1 Cover
      by Peach Moose “A foul-tempered girl. A stubborn, vicious bitch." Those were words Eunho had heard so often since she was nine that her ears had grown calloused to them. Before that, she’d been called a rat bastard, a piss-ant little shit. The nicknames fit Eunho well back then—head shaved down to the scalp, darting through filthy alleyways at top speed. To survive, you had to be quick to read the room. To protect your body, your presence had to be fierce. How many years had she lived like that? So…

      KMH – Chapter 15 Cover
      by Peach Moose Come to think of it, there’d been signs even before. On the day the results of the placement exam—taken right after entrance—were posted, Jugyeong stared at the board for an unusually long time, even though she’d taken first place without contest. So Seju leaned his back against the outer frame of the bulletin board—green felt stretched tight over it—and watched her. He didn’t know why she was doing that, but chances to look at that precious face for so long weren’t exactly…

      KMH – Chapter 3 Cover
      by Peach Moose It was around the time the screaming tantrum had started to die down. The boy came tumbling down the stairs as if he were flying, like a swarm of bees. Then he abruptly shoved his face right up close. The force of it made Jugyeong flinch, and she was just about to shuffle backward— When Seju snapped, almost as if firing the words at her. “I know you.” Jugyeong did too. She’d just heard about Seju from Professor Im. Jugyeong’s fingers fidgeted as she replied slowly. “…Yeah.…

      ATTEW – Prologue Cover
      by Peach Moose A blizzard-torn night always carries a vicious wind. Listening to the sound battering her bedroom window, the woman thought it resembled the noise made when a sharp-eyed bird of prey goes whoosh—cutting swiftly through the air. The woman hated winter, and she feared it. She always had. Winter was crueler to those who had nothing, and she had always been someone lacking—money, affection, whatever it might be. She had so little to begin with, and when winter came, she often lost even that. So…

      KMH – Chapter 11 Cover
      by Peach Moose After finishing dessert, they all took a walk around Cheongwoljae. Jugyeong deliberately slowed her pace. Droplets flung up from the fountain brushed her cheeks again and again, but she didn’t mind. At the front, beside Grandfather, Director Im and her husband linked arms; at the rear, Seju sauntered leisurely. In late spring, blue moon wisteria was at its peak, spilling down in profusion to form an arched tunnel. Seju traced the long, trailing flower clusters with unhurried fingers as he…

      ATTEW – Chapter 2 Cover
      by Peach Moose “Living as a woman won’t bring you anything good. Even if your face is half-decent, all it does is draw bugs.” “I know.” “What do you know? You’re tiny.” “I’ve heard that enough times to know.” Nine-year-old Eunho looked down with indifferent eyes at the light brown hair falling in clumps around her feet. Her hair had only grown to about the length of a single finger joint. It was the weekend. Hwajin had slept in late and woke up complaining about the cold. Startled by…

      by Peach Moose “I’ll stop by again soon. Thank you for your work.” Eunho left the police station with Seonghui—still speaking in that polite, respectful tone—and climbed into the silver van Seonghui had come in. Just as Eunho was thinking the huge van didn’t really suit her, Seonghui glanced at Eunho through the rearview mirror and smiled kindly. “If you’re sleepy, you can sleep.” “…….” “It’ll take about two hours. We’re going to Incheon.” “…….” “Incheon is……

      by Peach Moose “If you were me, wouldn’t you feel wronged?” Each time his bright white sneakers thud-thud struck, chunks of grass and dirt tore up and flew. Jugyeong, who’d been pressing a hand lightly to her chest, paused and glanced at Seju. The instant their eyes met, Seju demanded—almost sneering. “You don’t even know me.” “…….” “Then why don’t you like me?” At some point, Seju was breathing hard, and the back of his neck had turned a little red. Even so, his gaze was…

      by meowlows “Let’s pretend this marriage never existed.” Seo Jin-in was always like that. She barged into my heart whenever she pleased, and ran away from me just as easily. Without warning. Without reason. And so, Son I-young decides to marry Jin-in’s younger brother. If it was recklessness, then it was recklessness. If it was revenge, then it was revenge. “If you want to break off…
