PR by timeInside a dark warehouse, a gust of rainy wind blew in through the crack of the door. Whenever a rumble boomed from the sky, the child trembled in fear. Hiding within an abandoned agricultural machine, the child hugged her blackened knees. I miss Mommy and Daddy. Was she being punished for skipping out on her tutoring session to play?

PR by nejiThe weather made people want to kill someone. The heat wave was so bad that all appliance stores were running out of air conditioning units. On top of that, the approaching monsoon brought a sticky humidity to the air. Jiwon stood in the middle of the eight-lane road and blew her whistle.

PR by neji 11 years ago, Winter. That year was quite unique for Jiwon’s family. Her father’s cold murder case had been solved that year, and the family had finally purchased the villa they had been renting in full.

PR by nejiOnce they exited the city, the slightly widened streets turned into a narrow road on the outskirts of town. The dense trees stretched out as far as the eye could see, but they were unable to block the prickly summer sunlight. Chief Hong glanced at Jiwon as she clenched her hands on the steering wheel and clicked his tongue.“Why are you sweating so much?”Jiwon looked like she was lost in thought before finally opening her mouth.“We’ve been in this car that has a broken air conditioner for…

PR by nejiWhen they arrived at the convenience store at the intersection, Jiwon finally let go of his hand. She didn’t remember the last time she’d sprinted like this. She felt like her heart was going to burst, and she could taste the faint scent of blood in her throat. However, Seokju looked completely fine even though he had run here with her, so she grew even more annoyed. When she saw Seokju frowning as he stared down at his hand, she gestured to the plastic chairs placed outside the…

PR by nejiWith the grand entrance in front of them, the resort spanned across a large area. It included the largest field in the country, and it claimed that it had all the amenities necessary to hold various golf competitions on site. “Please follow me.” A tall man with a mic attached to his shirt guided Jiwon and Chief Hong.

PR by nejiSummer. Despite being a member of the top 1% who could have his pick of any top university in Korea, Seokju turned his gaze to the police academy.

PR by textbookBack when he was too young to know the meaning of the word ‘survival’, Seokju came to learn its definition with his own body. Even when he cried until his throat was sore, the only thing that came his way was a slap to the face. Most days, he never knew if he’d be given the basic necessities of food and clothing. Even when he found out that the existence of a ‘parent’ would never protect him, he didn’t care. This was because he never had anyone to compare his life to.…

PR by textbookJiwon’s eyelashes trembled as she shouted out her confession. She was filled with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. Seokju gulped. His heart began to race wildly inside his chest. He had already come to the conclusion that she had the same feelings as him. Jiwon wasn’t the type of person to tangle lips and tongues if she didn’t like someone. She was the kind of girl who’d punch them until they went flying. However, imagining it in his head and hearing it in real…
