Eunbi is strolling around at the shopping mall. She plans to buy a gift for Taekwang. Tomorrow it's his birthday and she wants to gives him a nice present. A gift that not only for his birthday but also to show her gratitude after all he has done for her. She enters one of the store there. She remembered when she and Taekwang went to the shopping mall, he stared at one of the watches there. She also notice that Taekwang likes to wear a watch whenever he goes. She asks the staff to customize the watch. She wants to gives his initial on the watch. After awhile, the staff finished crafting the watch, she left the store.
On the way home, she meets Yi Ahn father. He carries a lot of stuff. She greet him.
"Anneyonghaseyo." Eunbi said
"Anneyonghaseyo. You are Go Eunbi right?" Yi Ahn father said
"Ne. Can I help you? I can carry it for you."
"You're so kind. But I really can do it by myself."
"It's okay. Let me help you." She said
She takes some stuffs from him and carry it for him. They arrive at his home. She puts his stuffs at his house. Yi Ahn is not there. His father said that he went outside to meet his friend. His father served her a beverage. She drinks it and after awhile, she ask permission to leave. However, Yi Ahn father face looks really pale. He suddenly collapsed and Eunbi tries to catch him. She called an ambulance and they arrive few minutes later.She contact Yi Ahn and he sounds panicked when he heard it.
Yi Ahn takes a taxi and run to the hospital. He meets Eunbi and he sees his father laying down weakly.
"Appa!" He said
"He's stable now. The doctor said that he's exhausted."
"Thank you Go Eunbi."
"Gwenchana. Ah.. you must be his girlfriend. I am Go Eunbi. We met before right?" Eunbi said
"Ne. I am Kim bokjoo." Kim Bok Joo said
"I think I should go." Eunbi said
"Thank you again Go Eunbi."
Eunbi left the hospital. When she's in the bus, she realize that she left the gift at Yi Ahn house. She text him and he says he will look for it.
The next day, Eunbi meets Taekwang at the bus stop. Taekwang waves his hand to her. She waves at him back. They walk together to school.
"Do you have to work today?" Taekwang asks her
"Ani. Wae?" Eunbi said
"Do you want to watch movie together?" Taekwang asked her
"Sure but I need to go to hospital first."
"Hospital?"
"Ne. Han Yi Ahn dad admitted to hospital yesterday so I am going to visit him." Eunbi said. She can't said that the main reason for going to hospital. She wants to pick his gift that she left in Yi Ahn house by accident.
"Han Yi Ahn dad? Is he okay?"
"He fainted yesterday but the doctor said that he's getting better."
"Did han yi ahn told you?"
"Ani. I was with him yesterday."
Taekwang looks surprised and asks her, "with him?"
"Ne. I was helping Yi Ahn father yesterday and suddenly he fainted so I brought him to hospital. I contacted Yi Ahn and he came."

"Are you okay?"
"Me? I am okay."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"Ah! I think I should visit him alone."
Taekwang notice she's hiding something. He asks, "why?"
"Ya! The bell will ring soon. We should go to class." Eunbi walks faster than usual. She's leaving Taekwang who looks confused.
During the school break, Taekwang meet Joy at the hallways. Joy gives him a cd with signatures from his favorite band. Taekwang looks so happy and thank her many times. Joy smiles so brightly and she feels delighted when she sees his happy face. Not far from them, Eunbi saw how happy Taekwang is. She feels insecure about her gifts. She pouted and discourages.
After the class, Eunbi goes straight to the hospital. She meets Yi Ahn and his father. His father is sleeping peacefully.
"Hi Han Yi Ahn." She said
"Ah. You're came." Yi Ahn said
"How is he?"
"He's stable. Ah cem, here's your stuff. It's for Taekwang, right?"
"Ne. It's for his birthday."
"He will be happy when he received it from you."
"I don't know. Someone gave him a better present than me. This is just nothing. Ah cem, where's your girlfriend?"
"She has training. By the way, how did you know that she's my girlfriend? I don't think I told you before."
"I saw you and her at the spring festival."
"You went there?"
"Ne."
"Eunbi ah, about her."
"Gwenchana. I am not mad or sad. I am happy actually. I saw you with her and you look so happy. I never saw you like that when we're together. You suffered a lot, don't you?"
"Not really. I was so happy when you finally back again but I don't know what went wrong. Maybe my pride got on the way. I can't stand seeing you worrying somebody else. Or maybe, I haven't entirely moved on from Eunbyul. I don't know.. but I am missing being with you."
"It's understandable. It's hard to moved on from your first love. I know because I felt it. I loved you before."
"But not now right? You like him right?"
"I don't know. Maybe. He makes my heart flutters but this feeling is different from you."
"I always feel that someday you realize that it always him."
"You wrong though. When I'm with you, even though I worry about him, even though I was happy with him, you're the one that I always thought about."
"I'm sorry for hurting you."
"Gwenchana. I am happy now." She said while smiling.
A text message comes when they're talking.
"Ah mianhae, Taekwang text me." Eunbi said
She reads his text. Her facial expression changes. Taekwang canceled their plan.
"Something wrong?" Yi Ahn asked
"Ah ani. I must go. " She said
"Araso." He said
Eunbi left the hospital. She sees the gift and she sighed.

Taekwang stands up from his seat. Eunbi walks closer to him. She wants to make sure their plan. Taekwang nods and she waves goodbye to him. She looks rushed and Taekwang can't do anything beside feeling confused.
He walks outside and he meets Joy there. Joy looks pale and weak.
"Halo Joy. Are you going to the agency?" Taekwang said

"Ne. Are you going home sunbaenim?"
Taekwang looks closer to her and says, "are you sick? You look so pale."
"Ah ani. I just tired."
"Have you eat?"
"I haven't ate since yesterday."
"Ya! That's dangerous! You should eat something."
"Gwenchana."
"Ya! It's not healthy. You already lose a lot of weight."
Without much thinking, Taekwang pull her and bring her to one of the restaurant. He sat her down and orders some food for her.
"You need energy for your training. Just consider today it's your cheat day." Taekwang said
"But.." Joy tries to stick with her diet
"Can you do it for me? Pleaseee..for my birthday."
"Araso. I will eat." Joy finally gives up.
"Good girl." Taekwang said proudly
"Sunbaenim, do you like my presents?" Joy said
"Of course! I like it a lot! How can you get their autographs?"
"We're the same agency so I asked them to signed it for me. I'm glad you like it."
They start to eat but Taekwang notices that she barely touch her food.
"Ya! You should finished your food." Taekwang scold her.
"I'm full." She said stubbornly
"You really?!" Taekwang is giving up and let her do what she wants.
After they're finished lunch, they're go to different directions. Taekwang wants to meet Eunbi at the cinema as he promised and Joy is going to the agency. They said goodbye to each other. Joy still looks pale and Taekwang is concerned. He runs to Joy and she looks puzzled. He puts his hands on his forehead. It's burning.
"Ya! You're sick!" Taekwang scolded her
"I'm fine." Joy said weakly
"You're not! Just skip your training today."
"I don't want to!" Joy still stubborn
But she starts to feels woozy. She puts her hands on her forehead. Taekwang catches her and he puts his hands on her shoulder. She refused to go to hospital when Taekwang suggested it. Taekwang obey what she wants. He calls a taxi and takes her home.
Joy mother opens the door when Taekwang rings the bells. She sees her daughter almost fainted. They bring her to her room. A small girly room. Joy lays down on her bed and says her gratitude to Taekwang. She holds his hand and ask him to stay for awhile. Taekwang refuses at first but she begs him and he feels sorry for her so he stays. He texted Eunbi to canceled their plans. He sits beside Joy who looks weak. He stayed until she falls asleep.
He walks outside her room and talks with her mother. Her mother is so concerned about her but there's nothing she can do. She talked about how determined and strong willed Joy is. Her mother asked a favor to him. She asked to stay beside her and take care of her. Taekwang can't refuse her mother request because she really looks so concerned. He said, "I'll do what I can for her but I can't promise you anything."
Her mother relieved that Joy has a nice guy beside her.
It's quite late when Taekwang left Joy house. Eunbi doesn't said anything when he canceled it. He walks weakly to his house. He enters his house and greet his father. He already waited for him. They eat dinner together and chat for awhile.
After dinner, he goes to his room and lay downs on his bed. He looks at the ceiling and opens his phone. He sees a picture of him and Eunbi. He really hoped to celebrate his birthday together with her but the universe seems to agains it.
Then a text from Eunbi,
'Have you sleep?'
'Ani. How's Yi Ahn father?'
'He slept when I visited him. I met Yi Ahn there. We talked a little and I went home after that'
'Gwenchana?'
'Ani. I was upset when you canceled our plans'
'Mianhae. I was with Joy and she looked sick so I take her home. But then she insisted me to stay.'
'Just like I thought. You're with her. Is she okay now?'
'I think she's fine. Eunbi ah..'
'You must be really worry. Just take a rest, we can talk tomorrow.'
'I am not that tired. Can we meet?'
'I am tired. Beside it's quite late now.'
'Araso'
'Happy birthday Gong Taekwang'
'You knew? Why you didn't told me at school?'
'I thought I can tell you at the cinema.'
'Mianhae'
'Gwenchana. I am sleeping okay. Good night'
'Good night'
Taekwang close his phone and his heart somehow feels so empty. He never likes his birthday after his parents divorced. He still remember how they fought on his birthday. He thought today will be an exception but he's wrong.
Eunbi throws her phone to her bed. She sits on the chair. She stares at the present. She takes a deep breath and sighed. She put her hands on the table and rest her head there. Even though, she just messaged him, she missed him. She wants to meet him but she's already refused him when he wants to come.
Taekwang grabs his wallet and puts on his shoes. He takes a taxi and he arrives in front of her house. He texted her again and ask her to go out. Seconds turn to minutes but she hasn't see the messages. She must be sleeping, he thought. He pouted and turn his body around. He walks away from her house and then he hears her voice.
"Ya! Gong Taekwang!" She sounds that she's running
"Ya! Take a deep breath." He said
"Ah mianhae. I don't heard your messages." Eunbi said while catching her breath.
"Aigoo." He said while hide his happiness.
"Why're you here?"
"Can't I be here?"
"Ya! That's not it. It's late and tomorrow we have class."
"Ara. Are you tired?" He walks closer to her
"A little. Ya. You should go home." Eunbi said
"It's that for me?" Taekwang said. He notices that Eunbi carries a paper bag in her hand.
"Ne. I want to give it to you at the school but I accidentally left it in Yi Ahn house. I ask him to bring it to me, that's why I went to hospital."
"You should told me that." He takes it from her. He opens the gift and see a watch with his signature on it.
"I know it's nothing but I hope you like it." Eunbi said
He doesn't say anything and his eyes locked on the watch.
"Ya. You already got the best gift from Joy today so I understand. And.." Eunbi said
"You remember. Gomawo." Taekwang said and smiled
"Your welcome."
He strokes her hair gently and says, "you're wrong. This is the best gift. Thank you for making my birthday lovely again."
Eunbi is smiling and Taekwang puts the watch on to his hand. He show it proudly to her and they laughed to each other.

The Morrigan
Reality started crumbling the day I died and reincarnated. The enigmatic God offered some answers, but at the same time created more questions. Given a goal both absurd and ambiguous, I choose to start my new life. It sounded good and all, but first, I would have to avoid being eaten by my new family, or killed by the inhabitants of this new world. This is the story of how I tried to stay human when the world pushed me to become something else. A Swarm. Writing for fun and as a way to improve my English. Overpowered protagonist haters begone. The cover isn’t from my authorship, I just found it on the internet.
8 208Gina the goblin, Dungeon Extraordinaire
Goburi was a goblin, a very poor goblin and now that she was dying that meant one thing, she could not even pay the toll to cross into the afterlife. Goblins worshipped gold, gold watched over them and Goburi had never earned or lost a mote, finding herself to be something of a heritic. Like most descisions in life it had felt like the nobler pursuit at the time, but with the darkness closing in, she realized how terrified she was. Even if she had died in debt, the great elusive glimmer in the depths would have put her soul in a new body, bringing with her the debt and some vague memories. Another chance to die in the black. Goburi's last thoughts were dark specters of regret chasing themselves in circles of thought until she prayed for it to be done. She really had no idea where the souls of goblin heritics went, it had never really happened before. A new dungeon was born, a crystal of pure magic containing a soul that failed to pass to the afterlife. As it gained awareness something else came through that was never supposed to be there. Memories of a workshop, and an uncomfortable need to earn gold.
8 125Trials of a Magic Core
He was brave, and noble, and true. He was also a hunk of crystal floating in a magical circle, brought into existence by the self-styled "Greatest Magus of All Time" to be his personal intelligent magical encyclopedia, filled with every minutiae of the arcane this Magus could stuff into it, all ready and accessible at a moment's notice. But is simply knowing all there is to life? Can he strive for more? Should he? (Writer's Note:) I'm a pretty new writer, so expect delays, errors, inconsistent logic, plot holes the size of a small 4-wheeled vehicle, and a distinct lack of snark. At least from the MC. Also, yes, the cover is an image I made in paint. I have...NO artistic skills. It is a placeholder. Also, I came up with this idea in the shower after a nine-hour RRL binge. SO BEAR WITH ME.
