"A lawsuit? What on earth are you talking about?" Hwa-ran shouted angrily, but Eun-cho didn't even flinch. In the past, confronting her aunt would have been uncomfortable, but now that she had something to protect, her mindset was completely different. "I never received any legal documents. What nonsense are you spouting?" "It may take time, but even if you flee overseas, Aunt, there are still ways to reach you. I'll put a lien on your assets and file criminal charges, too." "What?"

What a piece of work she is. Tae-san glared at the door through which Go Hwa-ran had just left before averting his gaze. There were many people whose mere presence was unpleasant, but Go Hwaran was particularly grating, perhaps because of her connection to Eun-cho. Should I sprinkle some coarse salt to ward off bad luck? "Any issues with the tail we put on Go Hwa-ran?" "No, sir. We're documenting her every move with photographs." "Put security personnel on Eun-cho, too. We don't know what…

Hwa-ran stomped her feet in frustration. The thought of staying in a rundown, old motel in Cheongnim-ri was repulsive. Even the hotel in the neighboring city was equally displeasing. She furiously swept the room's belongings onto the floor, but her anger didn't subside. "How dare those young brats treat me like this? Me, the aunt who raised her!" Her head felt so full of rage that it was as if it would overflow. A whole night passed, but her fury showed no signs of abating. She felt…

Nyaaang. Perhaps sensing the unfamiliar intruder, the cats let out long cries and scurried back into the house. In an instant, a heavy, stagnant silence descended upon the backyard. Eun-cho was dumbfounded. Just how brazen could someone be to waltz in here with their head held so high? Seeing her aunt's face, a face that hadn't offered even a single word of contact, made her blood boil. Just how well had she been eating and living? Her life abroad hadn't seemed to have taken a toll;…

The car carrying the two of them glided smoothly across the quiet road. The occasional tremble of the car’s body and the soft flow of music filled the silence. Although the scenery passing by the window looked no different from any other morning, yet somehow, everything felt strangely unfamiliar. It was because of Ryu Tae-san. Eun-cho glanced sideways at Tae-san. The profile of the man gently rotating the steering wheel was graceful. Ryu Tae-san's face, which seemed to be made of only…

Tae-san stared steadily at Mrs. Jung. Mrs. Jung trembled with anger but couldn't fight back. Apparently, she was afraid of getting divorced after being caught cheating on her husband. "This isn't a warm proposal like persuasion or compromise. It's a threat." Tae-san pressed down on his opponent with an arrogant and disrespectful attitude. To ensure she wouldn't even think about approaching Eun-cho again, let alone touching her. When did it begin? Thinking that marrying Eun-cho was…

The weekend passed, and everything that had been in chaos returned to its place. Eun-cho went back to the oriental medicine clinic in Cheongnim-ri, and Grandma, eventually unable to resist Tae-san's nagging, was readmitted to Juseong Hospital. It was troublesome because she insisted on not being admitted unless she prepaid her hospital bills. In the end, Grandma didn't budge and was admitted to a multi-bed room. Since her attending physician and treatment method were the same, it didn't seem…

By the time we arrived at the Imsil police station, it was already nearing sunset. Tae-san took the two of us to the emergency room of a large nearby hospital. The dim scenery flickered in the window's reflection. Weakened, Grandma and Eun-cho lay side by side, receiving IV drips. Out of habit, Eun-cho tried to refuse Tae-san's unilateral kindness, but seeing Grandma shivering with a cold body, she had no choice but to change her mind. As soon as she lay down on the emergency room bed,…

A minute passed like an hour. Eun-cho’s nerves were stretched so taut they felt scorched black. She paced around the house restlessly, clutching her chest in frustration. Her grandmother’s phone was still powered off, and she couldn’t get through. “Eun-cho.” Tae-san pulled her into a hug. As he gently swept away the tears brimming in her eyes with his thumb, the tears she had been holding back suddenly burst forth. “Sniff… What do I do about Grandma…” It was…

Soon-young trembled as she held the crisp bankbook in her hand. It was the very same bankbook she had handed directly to her granddaughter not long ago. “Selling off your granddaughter, and now you're living it up in this deluxe suite that costs millions per night?” Jung Ga-hyun, a friend of her late daughter, had come to visit. She already knew that Ga-hyun had long harbored feelings for her son-in-law and that after Eun-cho was brought to Cheongnim-ri, the two had remarried. The woman,…
