Chapter 18 The heavy sack sank to the bottom of the pond in an instant. “We should probably wait at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.” The Assistant Merchant Master knew very well how resistant straw was to water. For a short while, perhaps. But after that long, water would inevitably seep through the gaps in the straw. By the time they pulled the sack out, the salt should have dissolved and become lighter. “Whether it’s that long or even longer, please wait as long…-

Chapter 30 Xavier gave a small yawn and asked in a somewhat languid tone. ‘You crushed Edgar Gastinel’s pride before, didn’t you? That was you, right?’ ‘Who?’ At Xavier’s indifferent attitude, Margo gave him a fed-up look. Dolores turned toward Margo. Xavier played the cello? She had vaguely heard rumors that he knew how to play it, but she had never seen him do so herself. And now they were asking him to take on a piece that even students majoring in cello were refusing to…-

Chapter 29 Dolores’s maple-colored eyes, holding the glow of the sunset, slid toward him. Dolores naturally rolled over. A ballerina’s light movement was instantaneous. ‘You’re going to do it anyway.’ ‘Even if I don’t.’ ‘I think you look so cool when you play.’ ‘Good for you. I find it boring. I’m sick of it.’ ‘How can he say he’s sick of something all the time when he hasn’t even done it that much…?’ Dolores rested her chin on her forearm, which…

Chapter 28 Dolores sat on the wooden floor with both legs stretched out in front of her. Sweat had beaded across her face from practice, and Xavier handed her a towel. ‘You’ve improved. After practically living in the dance studio, you’re good enough to perform onstage now.’ ‘Look at you, actually saying something like that.’ While she untied the ribbons of her pointe shoes, Xavier looked around at the mirrors in the dance studio. Every morning, the student assigned to cleaning…

Chapter 27 ‘It’s none of your business, though.’ ‘You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but you really know how to say things in the most unpleasant way.’ ‘If you want to know about me, make some time.’ Dolores thought over his forward remark for a moment before asking, ‘A date?’ ‘More like an investigation.’ Dolores couldn't hold back her laughter. She giggled, then eventually leaned back with a light movement until her back touched the…

Chapter 26 Claudia and Madeleine stared at him, seemingly flustered. The situation was so strange and awkward that Dolores hardly knew what to make of it. Xavier, however, didn't seem bothered at all. ‘Clody, did you invite Dolores to Iman's music club next week?’ ‘Uh…… I did, but no, hey, since when did you start calling me by such a cute name?’ ‘Come to think of it, I lost the invitation. Could you tell Iman for me?’ ‘You actually received one?’ ‘I…

Chapter 25 It wasn’t as though Dolores hadn’t thought about Xavier after enrolling at Le Havre. He would occasionally cross her mind. However, the general consensus was that she had barely had time to pay attention to him because she had been busy adapting to dormitory life and her suddenly changed surroundings. It was about two weeks after she happened to spot Xavier passing by that she encountered him again. It was the day she had gone to the campus post office to send letters to…

Chapter 29. Problem Child Production (1) He had definitely called himself Eunho’s father. Eunho had stubbornly insisted that he didn’t know the man, but… Pretending to watch the staff members moving the filming equipment, I sat on the wooden porch and looked at the man, who was sitting there staring intently at us—or rather, at Eunho. Eunho was aware of the man’s gaze, but he pretended not to notice and kept his body turned as much toward us as possible. In the web novel Welcome!…-

Chapter 28. Pre-Production (3) “Jealous? Me?” At Dokyeom’s words, Yerim felt strange. What was he talking about? Yet despite herself, Yerim kept sneaking glances at the two people on the other side of the glass door. Dokyeom answered her question with a bewildered expression. “What are you talking about?” “No, you just said you were jealous… of me…” “Huh? No. I said I’m jealous.” “What?!” Only then did Yerim seem to come to her senses and immediately went…

Chapter 27. Pre-Production (2) Yerim, Semin, Dokyeom, and Eunho stood in a nervous line, their expressions tense. Yerim and Semin were especially nervous, their hands trembling like aspen leaves. Seeing the two of them like that, Dokyeom and Eunho smiled faintly. Standing in front of the four of them was the teacher in charge of their club. With a fairly serious expression, the teacher flipped through the pages one by one. When he reached the final page, he looked at Yerim. “Who wrote this?…
