      KMH – Chapter 6

      KMH – Chapter 6 Cover
      by Peach Moose 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 Cover
      by Peach Moose “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 Cover
      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…

      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.…

      KMH – Chapter 2 Cover
      by Peach Moose …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…

      ATTEW – Chapter 10 Cover
      by Peach Moose “Aw, take some of this with you, too. You work so hard for the country and all, right? Service, service.” “We don’t accept things like this.” “Oh, why not? Why won’t you take it? It’s just a few buns. Our shop never does anything bad, so eat this, and please don’t come back again, okay? Yeah?” THUD. THUD. Something heavy dropped onto the jumper covering Eunho—night manju, the same kind she’d stolen and eaten that morning. “Really, it’s fine…….” “No, why…

      ATTEW – Chapter 9 Cover
      by Peach Moose “Then where the hell did that little rat go? She’s got nowhere to go.” “How would I know? Maybe another uncle snatched her first?.” “Hmm…….” “Anyway, if you catch that brat, make sure you tell me too. The cost of all the bread and ramen she stole from my shop is enormous. I need to get that money back. Ah—didn’t Hwajin’s shop still have some stock left?” “Why.” “Why do you think? I got done over too, so I’m thinking I’ll go grab some goods at least. Ugh, I don’t…

      ATTEW – Chapter 8 Cover
      by Peach Moose Matching the three-digit code unlocked the padlock. She found several bundles of bills neatly rolled and tied, along with a few loose notes. “That’s all?” “…….”  “Hurry and pack it.” At Myeongok’s urging, Eunho stuffed the bundles into a black plastic bag, then went into the room. Inside the wardrobe was a piggy bank where she’d saved the small change she earned for fetching cigarettes, stockings, condoms, aphrodisiacs, and other things she didn’t even know the names…

      by Peach Moose An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—tears for tears. Hwajin said that since Eunho was small, she had to toughen up so people wouldn’t look down on her, so they wouldn’t treat her carelessly. If there was some uncle who sneered and called her a rat bastard, then refused to pay her for an errand… …It was Hwa-jin who taught her how to fight back. If any auntie or uncle tried to touch Eunho’s body without permission… …It was she who said that, too. Right. So don’t cry.…

      by Peach Moose “Oppa! Oppa!” “What—weren’t your legs shaking? You run pretty well. Chasing me down for another round?” “You shorted me. Give me five thousand more.” “Hwajin, stop being a bitch and go when I’m asking nicely. Huh?” “It’s five thousand short. Here—look. This is exactly the money you left.” “Ha… Who do you think you’re scamming? I paid full twenty thousand for the fuck—what bullshit is this!” “No more talk—just hand over the five thousand. Nothing…
