Upon receiving confirmation that Yihyun had been locked up in the annex, the first words out of Doyoon’s mouth were an apology. “I’m sorry.” “…What?” “I should have made sure this didn’t happen. I was negligent.” “N-no. I…” “I should have made it clear to Secretary Im Suhwan as well.” Doyoon wasn’t someone who needed to apologize for this. Yihyun wanted to say no, that it was more his own fault, but seeing the firmness in Doyoon’s expression, he could…-

After losing half of yesterday afternoon and half of this morning, all that remained for Doyoon was an overwhelming pile of work. A massive quality defect had occurred in the new product launched last month. The resulting complications had fallen like dominoes, and no matter how much he resolved, there was no end in sight. Overseas buyers continuously lodged complaints against headquarters for failing to meet delivery deadlines. Meanwhile, domestically sold products had to be fully recalled, and a…

"Oh, would you like to take a look around the house first?" Im Suhwan opened one of the doors connected to the living room. The walls and door were all stark white, and the only way to distinguish between them was the flat doorknob. "The door frames and moldings were all removed, so the house looks really clean. It also makes the space feel bigger. I couldn’t design my own house like this, but I put all my energy into making the CEO’s house perfect." Yihyun didn’t know what molding was, but…

Yihyun flinched every time the car moved, but at Doyoon’s low voice, he turned his gaze toward him. He had been so fascinated by the rapidly passing scenery outside the window that he had forgotten there was someone beside him. When he first rode in a car yesterday, he had been scared, but now he had at least gathered enough thoughts to find it interesting. "Secretary Im Suhwan has already found a house." "I put a lot of effort into it since it’s the CEO’s newlywed home." "I’ll be busy…

A moment later, the door opened, and a large table was brought in. The meal had been carefully prepared, with dishes ranging from seasoned vegetables to braised fish and grilled short ribs. As Doyoon quietly observed the spread, he lifted his gaze, only to see Yihyun’s eyes shining with astonishment, at least ten—no, a hundred—times greater than anything he had shown before. “Let’s eat.” “…I can eat too?” “Aren’t there two sets of utensils?” “…….” “What’s…

When Doyoon grasped the back of Yihyun’s neck and told him not to move, Yihyun flinched in surprise. Even the faint goosebumps on his skin were visible. Through the sheer fabric of his jeogori, faint bruises spread across his back in bluish splotches. Doyoon hesitated while removing a hairpin, then pressed down on one of the bruises. “Ah.” Yihyun twitched as if in pain but quickly straightened his posture, seemingly remembering Doyoon’s instruction not to move. No matter how many…

How to deal with Yihyun—this was Doyoon’s first concern. Since Yihyun didn’t seem to have any particular value worth using, would it be better to simply give him enough money for living expenses and let him fend for himself? Or should he coax him carefully, just in case he knew something, even a little? It hadn’t even been a few hours since Doyoon first saw Yihyun, but he was certain the young man had grown up suffering abuse in that household. The bruises and scars, clear evidence of violence,…

He didn’t fail to meet expectations. Just like the night before, Yihyun looked back and forth between Doyoon and the meal in disbelief. He wouldn’t cry again, would he? Thinking about the tears that had fallen onto the table yesterday left a bitter taste in Doyoon’s mouth. "Do you like seafood?" "Huh? Ah…." Yihyun hesitated, unable to answer right away. Maybe he hadn't eaten something like this before? Doyoon wasn’t sure what his mother thought of Yihyun’s reaction, but she simply…

As he stepped into the rather modest quarters of the Empress Dowager, Lee Doyoon let out a short sigh. It was difficult to find the right words to explain the situation to his mother, who was light-years away from political scheming. From the start, this arranged marriage had been a collaboration between Dohun and Doyoon, with their mother merely informed after the fact. She had already been quite disappointed when she was told there would be no formal family introduction, the wedding would be simple,…

When Seungwan opened the passenger door and got in, the man did the same on the driver’s side. As he settled into his seat, the truck's body tilted slightly, as if his large frame added considerable weight. Seungwan glanced at him before fastening his seatbelt. The man started the engine and shifted gears. With a rumbling sound, the truck began moving forward. Unlike the other houses clustered together in the village, this one was unexpectedly situated on a paved road, despite its isolation near the…-
