MJ | Chapter 9
Leaving the bank, Jungin sat on a bench, sighing deeply. He'd visited every bank he had dealings with, but there were no more loans available. He didn't know where to go or what to do next. Sitting there, dazed, he eventually got up and headed to his car. His steps felt like they were weighed down by stones, and he felt cold inside and out. Even after starting the engine, he sat there for a while, unable to drive off. The loan sharks, who promised to give him time, had started pressing him since…-

MJ | Chapter 8
On the way home, Mina hummed along to the music. Opening the window, cold air rushed in. Sticking her head out, she saw a strange car parked near the orphanage and craned her neck. It looked expensive. "Oppa, look." "I see it." Jungin's face hardened at the sight of the car. Were the loan sharks back? He parked and hurried inside, where the kids playing in the yard rushed to him. "Hyung!" "Jungin oppa!" After patting the kids' heads, he saw an unfamiliar man standing by the main room. The…-

MJ | Chapter 7
People often imagine meeting an ex. Some might greet them warmly, others might regret seeing how well they've turned out, and some might secretly rejoice if their ex's new partner isn't as good. "It's been a while..." In a very brief moment, Jungin felt a mix of emotions. He forced a smile, but the response was cold. "Who are you?" His eyes, tone, expression—none of it seemed like the Kim Hajun he knew. The unexpected answer left Jungin visibly flustered. It was embarrassing, but he had to…-

MJ | Chapter 6
"Am I causing you trouble?" "What's there to be troubled about?" Despite last week's scandal, Kim Seola casually visited Hajun's company. They met purely for work, but since it was at a hotel and involved Kim Hajun, it caused a stir. These days, Hajun was as much in the spotlight as a celebrity. A chaebol heir and dominant alpha. The CEO of a successful entertainment company. Handsome, and with his father Kim Manho stepping back from management to enter politics, interest in him was…-

MJ | Chapter 5
Need urgent cash? The address on the business card led to a loan shark office a bit away from downtown. Knock, knock. As I entered, several burly guys were sitting on the sofa eating jjajangmyeon. Their eyes all turned to Jungin. "I'm here about Ryu Dongchan's debt." Before I could finish speaking, the man sitting in the middle pushed aside his jjajangmyeon bowl, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and stood up. Unlike the others, he wore a striking white suit with a bold red handkerchief in his…-

MJ | Chapter 4
Jungin couldn’t accept the reality as he looked at the chaotic yard. Chairs were scattered, and the decorations from the Christmas tree set up in the middle of the yard last winter had fallen apart. His mother, Kim Eun-hye, sat on the porch in a daze, while the childcare teachers were pacing anxiously beside her. “Jungin!” “What happened?” “We don’t know. They barged in, and we couldn’t stop them.” Kim Younghee, the oldest of the childcare teachers, sobbed as she explained.…-

“Does it hurt?” “No, it’s fine.” A colorful floral pattern was tattooed on the area from President Choi’s side to his hip bone. Despite his words, his brows twitched every time the sharp needle pierced his skin to inject ink. As Jungin wiped away the ink and blood with his left hand, the design became more vivid. “How old are you this year, Jungin?” “Twenty-nine.” “Already? Time flies.” Jungin smiled. He first encountered tattooing when he followed a senior in…-

The loud alarm blared, and Jungin pulled the blanket over his head. It stopped for a moment, then started again. He stuck his face out from under the blanket and reached for his phone. It was 7:30 in the morning. He wanted to sleep a bit more. For someone who felt the cold, getting out of bed in winter was torture. After burying himself in the blanket for five more minutes, he stumbled out of bed without fully opening his eyes. He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, and turned on the shower. The…-

MJ | Chapter 10
Looking at the disconnected call, Jungin laughed with a hollow expression. What have I done? But there was no turning back. The loan sharks who had promised a few more days suddenly changed their tune, and the acquaintances who had agreed to lend money were all out of contact. Rubbing his face with both hands, he lay sideways on the bed. It was a night as quiet as a mouse. He hadn't told his mom anything. It wasn't like he was getting married right away; he needed to meet the person and hear them out. A…-

MJ | Chapter 1
The fourth period was the notoriously boring Chinese characters class. As the warm sunlight poured in through the window, some kids started nodding off. Hajun, who was taking notes, pushed up his round silver-rimmed glasses that had slipped down his nose and glanced outside. It was spring. A pleasant breeze came in through the open window. At the school gate, there was an old cherry blossom tree, and whenever the wind blew, petals scattered like snow. The security guard spent all day sweeping up the…-
