Even though the man's smile drew a soft and gentle curve, there was an unmistakable, hard-to-explain sinister edge to it. Irim slowly blinked and carefully took in his appearance. There were about three clues that suggested he wasn’t someone related to the hospital. First, instead of a shabby sweatshirt usually worn for commuting, he wore a neatly pressed gray dress shirt, with one button casually undone. People who worked at the hospital had to change into uniforms as soon as they arrived, so they…-

‘Jeong-ah, what’s the first thing you want to do when you get better?’ ‘Hmm… I want to go to an amusement park! I want to ride the carousel, the Viking ride, and also… the Blue Dragon rollercoaster!’ ‘You’ll need to grow a little taller for that one.’ ‘Just a little, just a tiiiny bit more and I’ll be tall enough! The Viking ride looks so fun, right? My kindergarten friend Jiho went to the amusement park recently. I’m so jealous...’ Every time they praised her for…

【Prologue】 Illyeontaksaeng (一蓮托生) A Buddhist term likening it to a lotus beautifully blooming from the mud — even if one is born into a dirty, harsh world and lives a difficult life, by attaining enlightenment, they can be reborn in the Pure Land inside the same lotus after death. A metaphor for sharing the same fate until the very end of life, regardless of foreseeing good or evil outcomes. Ah, so bright… Sunlight seeping through the curtains woke her. The old motel…

"I did it." Lies. Go Eunjae didn’t believe him. Even if she wasn’t good at lying, she had a sharp eye for spotting them. “You don’t believe me.” “I know it’s a lie.” “What if it’s not?” “You said you don’t have time.” “I don’t. Because I was busy doing this.” Was he serious? Did he really write this himself? Just as Eunjae was about to fall for it, Sunwoo Chang smirked slightly. The moment she realized she had been tricked, her eyes…-

Once she walked far enough that Saheonjae was no longer in sight, still tense, she felt like she might throw up. She swallowed the burning sensation rising in her throat. She still didn’t know whether the feeling was misery or anger. She had to go home, unpack, and get some rest before work tomorrow. But instead, Hyewon just stood there like a lost child. After hesitating at the bus stop, she eventually took out her phone. As she composed herself to speak, a faint and weak voice came…-

The table froze with the unexpected appearance of the male lead. His tanned, hazel eyes were fixed only on Eunyoo. After a brief moment of silence, he slightly curved the corners of his eyes, giving off a strange aura. Though his large build didn’t quite match it, the smile had a surprisingly charming quality—but Eunyoo felt a chill as if she had seen a ghost. “My brother told me to come get some drinks from here.” Jaeha briefly explained his reason for being there and…-

It was the first day of the new semester, and there was a club drinking party scheduled for the evening. The night of March still held the lingering chill of the long winter. With a single sigh from Eunyoo, a visible puff of breath rose and disappeared into the black night sky. — Did you eat? Her mother’s gentle voice on the other end of the phone felt completely detached from the loud laughter echoing behind her. Eunyoo replied in a tone suspended somewhere between those two worlds. "I'm…

Nothing was worse than Sunday night—not even Monday morning. During the week, Ahyun could scrape by, clinging to the promise of the weekend. But Sunday night? It offered no such lifeline. “So lonely…” Ahyun let out a long sigh as she laid out tomorrow’s work outfit on the sofa. After tackling overdue cleaning, running the washing machine, and stocking up on food to survive the week, all that awaited her in eight hours was the grind of work. Next to her…-

Ahyun couldn’t shake the memory of Suhyeok’s disdainful stare. That jerk… Back when he couldn’t even squeak against her word, and now, just because he’s aged a bit, his eyes drip with arrogance. In the old days, she’d have jabbed two fingers into those smug eyes of his, but things had changed. What could she do? South Korea was a capitalist world, and Ahyun was just a corporate serf chained to her job. “What if I…

“Ugh, what am I wearing tomorrow?” Even buzzed, Ahyun fretted over her outfit for the next day. Back when she lived with her father, Junggo Construction Chairman Kang Minseob, she’d been a fashion savant. Her doting parents handed her a limitless credit card, and as a college student, she’d sat front-row at the world’s top three fashion shows, sweeping up designer clothes with fervor. In short, she’d been a spoiled brat swimming in money. It…
