Chirp, chirp, chirp!
Early in the morning, three or four sparrows perched noisily on the parasol table in the garden.

We returned to OTK Company.
Having been contacted, Ellie arrived from the building right next door. Kim Jae-hak picked up the coffee cup that the secretary had brought.
His hand holding the cup trembled, as if his excitement hadn’t...
Amidst all the unfolding drama, there was one person who was extremely tense.
That person was Rachel.
This is too dangerous…
Her heart sank at Ha Si-heon’s bold moves, but at the same time, she felt pity, knowing why...
“What kind of nonsense is that? Even Buffett says…”
“Did Buffett ever say to sell at the peak?”
“……”
Jim falls silent.
Buffett’s most famous advice is actually something else.
“Buffett ...
The conversation is flowing smoothly, just as I had steered it.

“Are you saying that friendship sways with money?”
“In other words, it means our friendship won’t sway for anything less than 50 billion.”
Fifty billion dollars is roughly 69 trillion won.
How many friendships in the...
An empty, desolate hallway.
I am walking behind Gerard.
“But, why did you…”
“Just because.”
When I asked what seemed like an obvious question, his overly concise answer came back.
It w...
“Just friends?”
I asked back with the most innocent eyes I could muster.
Gerard loosened his grip on my hand and smiled faintly.
“Ah, Rachel mentioned she doesn’t have any particularly close friends. She said everyo...
“How about coming to my house?”
An invitation from Rachel arrived three days later. I soon realized why it had taken so long.
“I wanted to invite you, but I had to check with my family first…”
Apparently, per...
“Chairman Chen, it’s been a while.”
We met again at the same restaurant, with the same members on both sides.

A few days later,
Jongno, Seoul
A black sedan slowly made its way from Insadong toward Nakwon Arcade before coming to a stop in front of a large traditional Korean hanok, enclosed by a high wall.
The next morning.
When Seok-won opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of Kinsley sleeping soundly in his arms, her bare shoulders peeking out from beneath the sheets. A quiet smile tugged at his lips.
As he lay there, memories f...
Meanwhile.
Devon, of course, was rooting for the first-years.
That was a given.
But still, a teacher couldn’t openly take sides…
‘Wait, why not?’
It wasn’t like he was a referee or anythin...
We started off with a scrum to loosen up.
It was me, Tennessee, and Jack on our team.
The opposition was the same as last time, Bob and two other big guys over 190 cm tall.
We ended up losing five times in a row.

The next day, at dawn, Faber had spent the night awake, unable to sleep due to exploding dopamine levels, yet his mind was clear.
A week ago, an advertisement had appeared in the Queensman.
It promised the release of an ultimate it...
After Queensman was published, the Duke of Grosvenor.
A magazine with his son’s face plastered boldly on the cover, no less.

South Korea is the Republic of Chicken.
Few would dispute this. In this small country, there are more chicken restaurants than McDonald’s stores worldwide. Seeing five or six chicken restaurants lined up on a single street is not an unusu...
Completely caught off guard by the unexpected conversation, Seok-won revealed his slight bewilderment as he asked again.
"Did you just say they want me to be their model?"
"That's correct."
Receiving Seok-won’s gaze, Landon ...
Faced with such a direct question, Seok-won showed no sign of surprise. Instead, he calmly lifted his wine glass, took a sip, and set it down again.
Then, meeting Ford’s serious gaze, he spoke in an even tone.
"The purpose of acqui...
