TTD Chapter 9
As if trying to shake off his words, which echoed like a lingering refrain, Heeju squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again. "Why… do I have to bear your misfortune?" This was dangerous. She couldn't stay here any longer. The longer she remained in the same space as him, the more she felt herself getting dragged into his pull. That thought alone made her move. If only he hadn’t grabbed her arm. The half-open bathroom door shut completely. Then, it locked. "…What are you…-

TTD Chapter 8
She had hoped never to see him again, but all that remained were endless encounters she could not avoid. Heeju sharpened her senses more than ever, carefully observing her grandparents' movements. One day, she had visited a hanbok shop to have her wedding attire tailored. In a moment of impulse, she had slipped away midway. She had never had much freedom in movement—short distances were usually handled by the household staff, and for longer ones, she was accompanied by a driver. But this…-

TTD Chapter 7
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she had just risen from deep underwater. As if her consciousness had been scooped up with a strainer, it was a strange morning. The most jarring thing was the sharp scent in the air and the sight of the man she saw when she turned over at the rustling sound. "Why…." The last thing her mind registered was that he was Ryu Iseok. The moment her words trailed off, shattered fragments of memory surfaced like broken glass, sending a chill down her…-

TTD Chapter 6
"Heeju, I made a reservation at that place we talked about." Heeju glanced at the message she had exchanged with Hyunsu before flipping her phone face down again. Sitting at the bar, she took a sip of her cocktail, rested her chin on her hand, and let the jazz music wash over her. A couple of hours had already passed since the new year began. Tonight was the first time she had been given permission to stay out overnight. She had always wanted to spend the night buried in the lively crowd of…-

TTD Chapter 5
"Come to think of it, this is our first time spending Christmas together, isn’t it?" Hyunsu’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he smoothly escorted her. Dressed in a semi-formal suit under his coat, he carried himself like an athlete preparing for an important match. Now that she was really looking at him, he felt strangely unfamiliar. Heeju watched him—tall enough to stand a full handspan above her, even in her seven-centimeter heels. Coming from a long line of musicians, he was a…-

“Madam! Please, calm—” With her face flushed red, Heeju’s grandmother grabbed the coffee from the shelf and flung it straight at her. The cold Americano splashed harshly against her face, stinging her skin. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?! What a disgrace!” Groaning, her grandmother clutched her head. “I begged you! Over and over again! How could you!” This was the part her grandmother had poured the most effort into. An elegant performance. A graceful…-

"So, you've got me now, huh? Is that why you arranged to meet here?" Ahyeon narrowed her eyes and gestured toward the window. Heeju’s gaze followed, stretching beyond the glass. Only then did the hotel’s signature golden emblem, symbolizing Hotel U, come into view. "Will I be able to meet him…?" Before the wedding, she desperately wanted to have a private conversation with him—just once. Ahyeon tilted her head at Heeju’s quiet murmur. "What are you even worried about? Since it’s…-

TTD Chapter 2
“Ryu Iseok… Ryu Iseok?” Tears dripped from her eyes as she paced the floor, gnawing at her fingernails. In the full-length mirror, her reflection looked deeply anxious and lost. Ryu Iseok. A memory surfaced—back when she was still too young to be called an adult. A party she had attended with her grandfather. The only reason she had been able to walk—more or less—in those ten-centimeter heels was because of the training she had received. Her grandmother, always lamenting…-

TTD Chapter 16
Chairman Ryu was a self-made man who had built his company from the ground up. For a businessman, he had a relatively clean reputation, known both as a shrewd entrepreneur and a devoted husband. In his younger years, he was a role model for ambitious youths, and his only son, Ryu Seungwook, was considered a promising successor. His image was so well-regarded that it quelled criticisms about family succession. That is, until a woman appeared, claiming to have borne his child. What made matters worse…-

TTD Chapter 15
Beneath the deep red, sultry lighting, the air in the enclosed space was thick and humid. A large easel stood in the room, and behind it, someone was seated. Swish, scratch. The repetitive sound of graphite grinding against paper filled the silence. "Don’t you have any other drawings?" It was Heeju who asked. With an air of arrogance, as if she already knew exactly what was being drawn. Or rather, it was Yeon Heeju inside the dream speaking to the man behind the easel. "There…-
