KMH – Chapter 9
Even as her breath kept catching in her throat, Seju’s body scent surged in like a tide. He felt more intrusive—more uncomfortably present—than ever. Jugyeong broke into a dry cough, hacking weakly. “Why is this kid so bad at understanding what people say….” Muttering as if he had a headache, Seju tightened his grip. His touch was so rough that, beyond the merciless pressure on her lower abdomen, it felt as if her insides were twisting. Cold sweat welled up, her vision blurring— Seju…-

KMH – Chapter 8
On her way out after finishing the consultation, a call came in from Manager Moon. ―”There’s been an accident on the way, so it looks like we’ll be about ten minutes later than the original arrival time.” Jugyeong stepped into the elevator with a ding and replied, “Okay.” After ending the call in a businesslike tone, Jugyeong leaned her temple against the wall—then caught herself before her body could sag fully. It would be a problem if she fell apart already. After dinner with…-

KMH – Chapter 6
She tried not to be shaken, but it wasn’t easy. He smelled unfamiliar. That faintly sweet scent—like bread browning in an oven in the late afternoon—the gentle, cozy smell of body lotion mixed with the salty tang of seawater… none of that clung to him anymore. All that drifted in on the breeze was a musk—strong, yet delicate. Who could have imagined that a child who used to wring tears out of himself, stubbornly forcing them to come, would grow up like this? From the man standing…-

KMH – Chapter 5
“Jugyeong, Jugyeong….” Jugyeong was dragging in air in short, choppy bursts, like hiccups. A hand that had been wandering aimlessly over her rigid shoulders and back clenched into a tight fist. …Lockdown drill! A few kids who’d panicked during the training they’d done for an active shooter scenario flashed through Seju’s mind. Seju hurriedly pinned Jugyeong down to the floor. Her thin arm dropped—thunk—limp against the boards, and Seju’s heart dropped with it. But thankfully, her…-

KMH – Chapter 4
“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…-

KMH – Chapter 3
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.…-

KMH – Chapter 2
…Is this guy insane? “Ah.” Jugyeong closed her eyes, swallowing an irritated groan. Right now, she needed to rein in the impulse flaring up inside her. She desperately wanted to ask whether he was drunk—or genuinely out of his mind. Her hand rummaged through her handbag for a stress ball out of habit, then froze. ‘What if the counselor’s advice was just a metaphor?’ Jugyeong knew how stress balls worked. She’d looked it up herself before buying one. Repeating the motion of…-

KMH – Chapter 17
“Are you going to pick them up after so long?” —” No, it’s fine. President Cheon said he’d…” President Cheon was going to escort her to the hotel himself. After hanging up, Seju tilted his head far to one side. It seemed his father still saw his mother—who had carried him to term with resolute determination—as a child left standing at the edge of water. Is it really that good? Whenever President Cheon stood in front of Director Im, he turned into a dignified boy; whenever…-

KMH – Chapter 16
Jugyeong turned her head over her shoulder to add one last thing, then faced forward again. Seju felt the pulse slam hard against the inside of his wrist. He felt it flutter beneath his ear, too. He also saw it—how the tension had drained from Jugyeong’s pale, prominent hand only at the moment she’d said congratulations. Seju stumbled closer and came to stand beside her. He didn’t have a plan. He was just dying with regret that she’d turned away too quickly for him to properly see her face. He…-

KMH – Chapter 15
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…-
