“How do you feel about it?” “Oh, I’m sorry.” Go Eunjae hurriedly averted her gaze. Regardless of gender, being stared at as if someone were scanning her body could be unsettling. No matter the intention, the other person wasn’t a dancer, and neither was Go Eunjae anymore. There was no room for excuses—an apology was the only appropriate response. “Why are you apologizing when I asked for your thoughts?” “I was staring too much. But I swear, I didn’t mean anything…-

The sheer presence of Sunwoo Chang was already overwhelming, but combined with the swirling cigarette smoke, the suffocating air of menace grew even heavier. But Go Eunjae had already taken everything into account when she decided to get on the same boat as him. She had resolved to go along with most of what he wanted. As she watched the smoke dissipate, she only wished he would get to the point and leave quickly. Sunwoo Chang stared at her the entire time he smoked. "Are you afraid of…

She had no presence of mind to put on her shoes properly, nor did she have the time to think about calling the hospital. "Please, please!" She desperately prayed, not even knowing what she was wishing for or to whom. Thankfully, her grandmother was still at the hospital. Since visiting hours were over, the attending nurse took a video for Eunjae instead, seeing how deathly pale she had become. She checked the small screen over and over again, watching her grandmother lying unconscious in…

“If avoiding marriage isn’t an option, then finding someone trustworthy would be the best course of action.” The elderly lawyer murmured as if speaking to himself, interpreting Go Eunjae’s silence in his own way. Then, he handed her a sealed white envelope. “This is a personal message from Chairman Choi Chihyeol, left specifically for you.” “What is it?” “I don’t know either. You’ll have to check for yourself.” Having completed his task, the lawyer left the café,…

Smack! Choi Anna, who was significantly taller than the average adult male, slapped Go Eunjae across the face. A sharp, metallic taste spread in her mouth—she must have bitten the inside of her cheek upon impact. Blood mixed with saliva and trickled down her throat. Her dulled hearing quickly returned. “You rude little bitch!” Before the sting on her cheek had even subsided, Choi Anna spat out another string of curses. Eunjae didn’t bother wishing her hearing had taken longer to…

Hyejun sat on the edge of the guest room bed, pressing her fingertips into the mattress. "It's soft." The room Jeongun had lent her for the night contained only a single bed, surrounded by stark white walls. There wasn’t even a single framed picture hanging up. But rather than feeling uncomfortable, the emptiness felt oddly familiar. It reminded her of her own room—bare except for a worn-out desk, a chair, and a small, square window. Ziiip. She knelt on the floor and unzipped her Boston…-

Deep wrinkles formed on his neatly furrowed brow, even with his eyes tightly shut. His submerged consciousness slowly resurfaced. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the security gate at the villa entrance, its safety bar disengaged. Staring blankly at the now-lowered barrier, he asked, “Why aren’t we going in?” “Well, sir…” Annoyed by the lack of movement into the parking lot, Jeongun shot an irritated glance at Minho. The driver, however, shifted his gaze toward…

Seonju is dead. Upon hearing the news, her younger sister arrived and broke into uncontrollable sobs. It made one wonder if they had truly been as distant as they seemed—only seeing each other once a year on their father’s death anniversary. Hyejun, watching the scene in a daze, suddenly felt dampness on her face. She wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, again and again, only to find traces of moisture each time. A name surfaced in her mind. She headed to the archery hall…

It wasn’t a surprising reputation. Even without hearing the specifics, Yeonha had a general idea of what kind of person Baek Ijae was. And from what she had seen and judged for herself, he didn’t exactly fall outside those expectations. Not that it has anything to do with me. She was about to brush it off and move on when— “I’m a dog, sure. But let’s not add ‘bastard’ to it.” The faint smell of cigarettes drifted in as Baek Ijae appeared through the terrace doors leading…-

That day, for the first time, Yeonha was slapped by her father. She didn’t know if it was because of the rumors Baek Ijae had spread or because she had rejected him to his face. Maybe it was both. Or maybe it was also because of the humiliation of being put in his place by someone young enough to be his son. When the red imprint of a hand appeared on Yeonha’s cheek, her mother’s eyes burned with fury as she lunged at her father. As if the slap had been thrown at her instead. When her father…
