“Wh-What?” “If you keep messing with me, I’ll do the same to you. And if you try any tricks, it’s only going to get difficult for you, too. And if you lay a hand on me again…” Yul took a step closer, looking down at Seohee. Seohee’s eyes wavered, filled with anger and wariness as she met Yul’s intense gaze. “You won’t be able to keep going to this school in one piece either, Choi Seohee.” Now that things had come to this, Yul felt indignant. Why had she ever avoided eye…-

With a face that showed no excitement, and a voice so dry it almost seemed bored, he spoke. It was a relief he wasn’t being overly sentimental, but something about it still made her feel ticklish. Was it her toes? Or maybe her fingertips? Her back? Her neck? Who knew. Just the mention of being his “girlfriend” — even if it was fake — was enough to stir these odd sensations. Yul opened her English book, trying to focus, but she couldn’t. His persistent and obvious gaze felt like it was glued…

The entire car ride back from the aquarium, Seowon was silent, lost in thought. Iden’s words kept replaying in his head—“You’re the light to me.” It wouldn’t leave his mind, especially after their conversation about the light illuminating the water earlier. Iden had said that in pitch-black darkness, everything would have seemed terrifying, but the blue light made it beautiful. Did he mean his own life was like a dark underwater world? Maybe he was overthinking it, but the thought lingered,…-

8:30 PM. As they arrived in front of the aquarium, a man who seemed to be the person in charge came out to meet Iden and Seowon but flinched upon seeing the men in black suits. It was only natural to feel tense around such an unusual group. For precaution, the security team had accompanied them the whole way from the car to the aquarium entrance. Given that it was an enclosed building, defending against an attack inside would be challenging, which only made them look more suspicious to the…

Just as Iden had mentioned, around five in the evening, Min arrived with the groceries. The amount he’d bought was staggering—behind Min, a line of security guards followed, each carrying paper boxes filled with every kind of food ingredient imaginable. When they spread out the boxes across the living room floor, Seowon couldn’t help but sigh. It looked like they had enough supplies to last not just a few days but an entire month without stepping outside. There was no need for Seowon to wonder…

As soon as Ha Seowon fell back asleep, Iden stepped out into the hallway, where Min was waiting. He hadn’t entered, probably to avoid disturbing them. “The Underboss is waiting for you.” Hearing that Liam was waiting, Iden nodded and followed Min to the end of the same-floor hallway. Min knocked on the door for him, and a voice from inside asked who it was. “Director’s here,” Min answered in English, glancing back at Iden. Shortly after, the door opened, and one of Liam’s men stepped…

“When did you get here?” Seowon took a deep breath, as if trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, but soon winced in pain. Although he didn’t groan, and his expression only twisted for a brief moment before he acted as if nothing was wrong, Iden, who had been watching him intently, stiffened. “And the job you had to take care of? Did you handle it?” Seowon changed the subject, but Iden remained silent, not offering any answer. Whether Seowon was genuinely curious or just fishing for…

Leo and the other bodyguards swallowed nervously, thinking it might actually be better if someone just shouted or threw a tantrum. Bang! Another gunshot echoed. This time, blood began to flow from the man’s right arm. He gritted his teeth, breaking into a cold sweat. Though he refrained from screaming, which was commendable, he was trembling like an aspen tree, as if he sensed his impending fate. “This time was a mistake. With your right arm shot, you can’t shoot a gun anymore.” Though he…

Seowon grabbed the shoulder of the staff approaching Iden, forcing him to turn around. The staff member looked back, seemingly bewildered. Because of the commotion in the middle of the auction, a few people at nearby tables turned to look at Seowon and the staff member. “What’s…?” Before the staff could ask, Seowon quickly lifted the cloth covering the tray he was holding. In that instant, the staff member twisted away from Seowon’s grasp, overturned the tray, and revealed a gun hidden…

I saw him enter the hallway leading outside the banquet hall, but even though I followed him right away, he was nowhere in sight. As I walked along the corridor looking for him, I felt a presence beside me, and then someone grabbed my arm and pulled me. I instinctively tried to resist but halted my movements at the familiar scent of pheromones drifting toward me. “Director?” It was dark in the hallway, and he had his back turned, so I couldn’t clearly see his face. But I was sure it was…
