Eunbi is waiting for Taekwang at the restaurant. They want to spend the last evening together before Eunbi goes to Tongyeong. It almost half an hour, Eunbi is sitting alone on their seat. Taekwang is rushing to get to the restaurant. He enters and goes directly to Eunbi.
"Mianhae." Taekwang said. He has been busy for the last two months and whenever they have plan, he often comes late or even cancel their plan.
"Gwenchana. Let's order first, you must be hungry." Eunbi said. She understands that Taekwang is busy but she can't hide the fact that she feels lonely sometimes. Yet, she doesn't want to add more pressure on him.
They're ordering some foods and drinks. Taekwang caresses her hands and listen to her. She talks about her sister and her mom. Her sister got engaged last week. It's quite sudden but Eunbyul looks really happy when she told her. It looks like Yi Ahn doesn't want to waste time. He proposed to Eunbyul despite they only been together for few weeks.
The foods has come. They eat peacefully, until his phone starts to ringing. He excuses himself to takes the phone. He took some time to finish his conversation. Eunbi was finished her food. Taekwang comes back and he apologized again to her. Eunbi starts to become irritated with his behavior. Taekwang notices it but he doesn't know what should he do.
After dinner, they walk to the park. He holds her hand. The snow starts to fall. They stop walking and enjoy the view. He holds her closely and caress her hair.
"I know I've been a bad boyfriend this few months. I am sorry." Taekwang said
"I understand. I just feel lonely. You always on the phone" Eunbi is confessing
"How about this, I will turn off my phone and do whatever you want now." Taekwang said. He takes his phone but someone call him again. Eunbi saw it but Taekwang is still turning off his phone.
"So what is your wish my princess?" Taekwang said
"Let's releases your stress first." Eunbi said
"How? Sleeping with you?" Taekwang teased her
"Ya! Don't be a pervert! Let's do some shooting." Eunbi said
"Call!" Taekwang agreed with her.
They go to a shooting ranges and start to shoot the target. Taekwang is quite good at shooting while Eunbi needs more practice. They play until they feel tired.
Taekwang takes her home. They arrived at her house. He hesitates to release her hand. He embraces her cheek.
"Do you really have to go back to Tongyeong?" Taekwang asked
"Ne." Eunbi said
"I don't want you to be away from me." Taekwang said affectionately
"Then you should be nice to me when we're together." Eunbi said sullenly
"Mianhae. I will visit you when the merger things finalized." Taekwang said
"Gwenchana. We'll find away to be together. Just don't look other girls beside me!" Eunbi said
"Ya! How's that possible? You're the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day." Taekwang said
"You and your sweet talk. I am going to miss spending time with you." Eunbi said
"Me too." Taekwang said
He kisses her forehead and let go of her hands.
He waves goodbye and leaves.
The next day, Eunbi goes to the bus station. She gets in the bus and find her seat. She sits near the window and open her phone. She text Taekwang. The bus starts to move. She rest herself and sleep throughout the journey.
She arrives five hours later. She gets off and goes to her apartment.

At night, she goes to the city center to buy some food. She accidentally meet someone who is really familiar. Eunbi bows her head when a lady recognizes her.
"Halo. We met before. You're Go Eunbi right?" Han Soo-A said
"Ne. It's nice to meet you again." Eunbi said politely
"Are you staying here?" Han Soo A asked
"Ne. I'm teacher here. How about you? What brings you here?" Eunbi said
"My family owned several hotel and store here so they want me to check those out." Han Soo A said
"Ah. You must be busy these days. With all the merging companies and yet you still have to make sure other businesses are running."
"Well actually, my parents don't want me to get involved with the plans since I support Gong Taekwang-si of doing this without marriage. They still want us to do the old ways, it makes him really struggling. I bet he already told you about this." Han Soo A said
"Aniyo. He doesn't talk about his works when we're together. Is his company needs this so bad?" Eunbi said curiously
"They do actually, otherwise they will lose one of their subsidiaries. Many people will end up losing their jobs." Han Soo A said
"That's why he works so hard these few months." Eunbi mumbles
"I think I should go be going now." Han Soo A said
"Han Soo A-si, all they need is for him to marry you right?" Eunbi asked
"Yes I think so. But you don't need to worry about that, he really against that idea." Han Soo A said
"I know but if he didn't do that, many people will suffered." Eunbi said
"Well you can say that." Han Soo A said
"Thank you for telling me." Eunbi said
"It's okay." Han Soo A said and leaves
After their conversations, Eunbi can stop feeling guilty. She doesn't want people suffer because of her. She knows that Taekwang is exhausted and he still wants to be with her. She also wants to be with him but not like this.
Eunbi rarely sleep though the night. She wakes up at dawn and goes to her school after that. She meets her colleagues and her students. They greet her and she greet her back. She tries to focus on lecturing but she just can't get him out of her mind.
On the weekend, she takes a bus to Seoul. She didn't tell Taekwang about coming to Seoul. She arrives at his place. She rings the bell but he doesn't open it. She enters the codes and open the door. She sees Taekwang who just wakes up with his frizzy hairs.
"Eunbi ah." Taekwang goes to her and hug her.
"Are you just wakes up now?" Eunbi asked
"Ne. I worked until very late last night. Ahhh.. I am glad you're here. I miss you so much." Taekwang said and start to act like a little boy.
"Aigoo. You must work so hard. Do you want me to cook lunch for you?" Eunbi asked
"It would be lovely. What brings you here? I thought you're going to Seoul next month." Taekwang asked
Eunbi enters his house and goes to the kitchen.
"I met Han Soo A last week and she told me about the problems in your company." Eunbi said
"Ah. You heard. It's not that bad actually." Taekwang said
"Why're you never told me about it? You always like this! You're not honest when comes a problem like this. I still remember when your father got arrested because you protected me. I know you doesn't want me to suffer but how do you think my feelings when you hurt like that?" Eunbi scolded him

"I am sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt. And also if you knew about it, you will leave me. I know that you don't like to see other people suffer." Taekwang said
"I am thinking about it actually." Eunbi said
"Ya! Don't you ever give me that look! I won't let you go!" Taekwang said angrily
"I am not. Just thinking about it, makes me really miserable. I hate you! You makes me falling for you this hard." Eunbi said
"It's your own fault to be cute like this." Taekwang said and hug her tightly.
"You're not going to fire your employees right?" Eunbi asked
"I am not. I already find some investors to support my subsidiaries company. We're already did something to fix their problems. They're just need more times to make more profits. It almost done. Trust me okay?" Taekwang said
"I will. I trust you." Eunbi said
"Gomawo." Taekwang said and embraces her hair.
"Taekwang-ah, should I move to seoul?" Eunbi asked
"Wae? I thought you like being a teacher there." Taekwang said
"I do but I also want to be with you." Eunbi said
"We really do need this talk. Especially after we're married, it would be more complicated, if we don't make any decisions about it. I will be glad that if you're moving here but I also don't want you to sacrifice your dream." Taekwang said
"Ya! Do you think I will marry you?" Eunbi teases him
"You will. I will make you." Taekwang teases her back
"How?" Eunbi asked.
Taekwang pushes her on the wall. He kisses her passionately.
"That's how." Taekwang said
"Ya. Gong Taekwang." Eunbi said shyly
"You're so cute. We're kiss so many times but you still get blushes when I did it." Taekwang said proudly
"Shut up." Eunbi said
"Stay. I know that sacrificing your dream will be hard and that's the last thing I ever want you to do for me. But I don't think I can be away from you anymore. Those years holding my feelings for you was nothing compare to this." Taekwang said
"Ya. You're become more greedy now. You used to stole a kiss or a touch. Now you're finally have me, you want more." Eunbi said
"I know. I am selfish" Taekwang said
"Ne. But I love you so I don't mind. I like when you touch me." Eunbi smiles at him
"Will you marry me my dear?" Taekwang said
"Ne. I will." Eunbi said
Taekwang smiles so big. He releases his hands and he goes to his room. He takes a small box inside his drawer. He goes back again to Eunbi and gives her the small box.
"I was planning to ask you when all the business things are over. I am going to ask you in place nicer than this. But since I already asked you so.."
Eunbi opens the box and she sees a beautiful ring.
"It's beautiful." Eunbi said
"You're more beautiful." Taekwang said and he puts the ring on her. He kisses her and she kisses him back.

Eunbyul stands with her beautiful wedding dress. She looks at the mirror and her friends come to see her. They compliment her and she feels grateful. Eunbi sits near her. She looks happy. She helps her twin sister to get ready. They takes a photo together. Eunbyul colleague enters one by one. Eunbi goes out since it's getting crowded.
She sees Taekwang near the receptionist. He talks to Yi Ahn and his father. They laughed and smiled. Eunbi never see them like that. Eunbi walks towards them and Taekwang sees her. He holds her hand and they are talking together.
Yi Ahn is getting ready for the ceremony. Taekwang and Eunbi goes to their seats. He kisses her cheek when people don't see them. Eunbi looks sad when she sees her sister walking on the aisle. Taekwang caress her hand and gives her a tissue. She smiles at him and wipe her tears.
Yi Ahn kisses Eunbyul and they are cheered for them. At the party, Eunbi and Taekwang are talking to the guests. Taekwang puts his hands on her back. People asked about their marriage preparations. Taekwang and Eunbi are happy to answer them.
***
A week after Eunbyul wedding, Eunbi enters a cafe near her house. She greets Taekwang mother who's already waiting for her. Many people recognize her but she acts normally.
"Sorry for making you wait." Eunbi said
"I also just arrived. I'm sorry for taking your times. I now you've been busy with the wedding and your moving." Taekwang mother said
"Aniyo. I am glad I can meet you again." Eunbi said
"How's Taekwang? He seems busy these day" his mother asked
"Ne. He's busy with work and he tries his best to help me with the wedding but he ended up makes mistakes." Eunbi said
"He always like that. He can't do multiples works at the same time. He always focus on one thing at the time. But when he focus, he can pursed it until he gets it."
"Ne. It's happened with me." Eunbi said
"Haha. I am glad that you're the one that he likes. From the first time I met you, I know you two have special bond"
"Ne." Eunbi said shyly
"You must be know by now. This will not be easy for both of you. Taekwang will always be busy with his work. He just like his father. His father and I grew apart because our ego. I felt lonely despite having a wonderful son like him. I made a huge mistake and I regret it until now. I know I am not the best person to give you an advice but I don't want you and him ended up like me and his father. Whatever happened I hope you two can learn from our mistakes." His mother said
"Ne. I will. I don't know what will happen but I'm not going to giving him up easily. He's my happiness." Eunbi said
"I'm glad to hear it. I know he will be happy with you. Thank you for taking care of my son."

Two years later
Eunbi wakes up beside Taekwang. She starts to moves her body but Taekwang stop her and embraces her.
"You're going to be late." Eunbi said
"It's okay. They can start without me. I need to be with my wife." Taekwang said and hug her more tightly.
"Araso. Just few more minutes." Eunbi said.
Eunbi is preparing their breakfast and they eat together. He always love her cooking. He finished without any food left. He gets up and put the dirty dishes on the sink. He gets ready and Eunbi fix her tie. She kisses him.
He leaves their house while Eunbi caress her belly.
"Let's tell him about you tonight" Eunbi said and she closed the door.

Epilogue
Few years ago
Eunbi is meeting Taekwang at the shopping malls. She dress up so nicely. It's their last date before he goes to the state for studying. He sees her and walks to her. But some guys approached her and they start to annoy her. Taekwang walks faster than before. He hugs her from the back. She surprised but smiles at him and hold his hands.
"Just go away! This pretty lady is mine. If you touch her, I'll kill you myself." He said to the guys.
The guys leave them and Taekwang says to her, "I'm sorry I was late. And about before.. hmm.. I just want to protect you so don't thought about weird things." Eunbi nods as she agrees with him.
"Let's go" he said. He takes her hand and walks together against the crowd.
"It's too full of people. I don't want to get separated from you." Taekwang makes an excuse so he can hold her hand. Eunbi doesn't seems to mind. She likes it actually.
"Ne." She smiles
He takes her to a familiar place. The hospital rooftop that they used to go.
"Why were here?" Eunbi asked him
"Do you remember this place?" Taekwang asked
"Ne. How can I forget this place. You make me happy that day. I am really grateful that I know you." Eunbi said
"I am glad I can give you nice memories before I left." Taekwang said
"Ya! What are you talking about. You always give me nice memories when we're together. That's why you've to return to Seoul again. You have to go back to me again." Eunbi said
"I always do. Back to you no matter what happened." Taekwang said
"Good then." Eunbi said and she holds his hand tightly.
"I will wait for you like you always do to me. Even if I can't tell you how I feel. And when you're back, this time, I will call out your name. " she said. She continues her saying, "Gong Taekwang gomawo"
He smiles at her and pull her close. He hugs her and embraces her face.
"I'm not going to make any excuses because I don't have any. I just want to be closer with you." Taekwang said
"You don't have to. I am just glad that it's you." Eunbi said and hug him tightly.
He releases his hug. They see the stars and the moon just like they used to see before. They look at each other and smiles.
'I love you' they thought to themselves.
Words that they cannot express. Touch that they cannot do. But only them can understand what they mean to each other. After everything they've been through, the sad and the happy moments. Their memories will always be special for them. Someday they will find their happy ending with each other.

The Shape of Home
The world of Alvelotyl is one of fantasy, one filled with many races, an expansive magic system exploring themes of identity, some LitRPG elements, moral ambiguity and no small amount of magical inventions similar to those in our world. Dragons with blogs showing off their hoards of treasure live alongside [Hunters] chasing Giant Toads, or [Bandits] using rifles charged with Fire Magic. The Shape of Home is a story within this world, and follows the exploits of Yuri Scalesmith, a budding Lizardfolk adventurer from a small country town with a knack for inventing, and how her life drastically changes after she’s taken from home forever following a single catastrophic event. After being taken from her previously normal life, Yuri is thrust into a world of sprawling streets, magically mutated monsters, and a crime war for territory stretching across an entire city. The Shape of Home normally updates every Tuesday and Saturday at 6PM GMT, but I'm trying out different upload times to see how people react and attract others in differing timezones. There will be two week long breaks after each story arc's Interlude. This story is also a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!

Frameshift
Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context. Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James. ... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh. AN: Expectations should include in medias res, violence, smut, friendship, and powers/progression systems with absolutely an insufficiency of context and (at least at first) no definitions or explanations, and magic-as-programming/engineering (with something of an emphasis on "what if magical runework were an analogue to circuit diagrams"). This story used to be called "Yet Another Godsforsaken Isekai". Discord server: https://discord.gg/dHh3XMMB4T Cover by the amazing Daedalus of The Way Ahead.

Mystic Nan
Note: Currently undergoing rewrite, we'll be back soon!(If you enjoy this story, it would help immensely if you considered voting for it at topwebfiction, thank you.) Nan Beauchamp, like many youths of the year 2000-something; will live, work, and die as less than a footnote of a footnote within the abridged history of unremarkable years. This suits her fine. Too bad about the truck that turned her into paste, then. Luckily, or unluckily, fate deigned to give the poor girl another chance to make something of herself in a bizarre universe brimming with magic, spaceships, and... giant talking spiders? This "second chance" seems less than ideal. (A web serial import from Wordpress)
