    Choosing a woman for his plan happened by coincidence.

    Ki Cheonju and Ki Taeju were the only full brothers among the old man’s many children. They were also the only children born from his wife rather than from a mistress.

    The reason why Ki Cheonju swung his sword and his guns at the offspring of these mistresses was for this exact reason. He would not let a bastard child become the next chairman of the company and succeed their father. In other words, it was to eliminate his competition.

    At the time, the bloody Ki Cheonju seemed like an obstacle he could not overcome no matter how hard he tried. In fact, he didn’t even want to touch him for fear that his own flesh would begin to rot away.

    ‘I can’t touch you because you look so much like me.’

    ‘I feel like I’d be killing myself. It’s weird.’

    Because they were full-blooded brothers, they inevitably looked alike. Thankfully, due to their resemblance, Ki Taeju was not included in the indiscriminate killings.

    But even after it was over, Ki Cheonju did not let down his guard.

    From a young age, he fed his ego by intercepting everything that belonged to Ki Taeju. When he was young, he was afraid he’d be killed if he protested, so he kept quiet. However, as Ki Cheonju’s head grew bigger and bigger, Ki Taeju found him funny and childish, so he continued to feed his greed and paranoia without saying a word. He didn’t feel the need to resist or rebel.

    But one spring day, he realized that Ki Cheonju’s greed was not limited to objects or power. It also applied to people.

    Ki Taeju was attending an event due to his position as the managing director, a position that was given to him simply because he shared the same blood as Ki Cheonju. The woman sitting next to Ki Cheonju seemed oddly familiar.

    ‘Is this a mole?’

    She was a barmaid he had had meaningless sex with three months ago.

    He couldn’t remember her face, her body, or even her skills at sex. The only thing he could remember was the two moles lined up on her neck, just below her jaw.

    The woman by Ki Cheonju’s side had the same exact unusual features. Only after seeing it did Ki Taeju realize that she was the same woman whom he had slept with.

    At the same time, he realized that Ki Cheonju did not hesitate to steal a woman whom he had slept with. In a way, Ki Taeju was in awe of his obsession and greed. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his head.

    A woman.

    If he thought about it, there was no place in this industry where women were not involved. Even in the midst of a whirlwind of wealth and power, in developments of new cities and other large-scale business plans responsible for economic revival, there were women pouring drinks and madams serving customers.

    Yu Heejin was a barmaid who had been introduced by one of those madams. A typical woman struggling with debt, living a life that was not worth living.

    The proposal that Ki Taeju made was simple.

    She would pretend to be his lover, and when Ki Cheonju reacted, she would actively try to seduce him. If he took the bait, she would then steal his business plans and secret ledgers. In exchange, he would pay off her debt.

    ‘I’ll do it.’

    Yu Heejin asked about the conditions of the deal.

    In order to deceive Ki Cheonju, it was important that he give her the money up front. They needed to make sure Yu Heejin seemed like a special and important person in Ki Taeju’s life. That was the only way to properly catch Ki Cheonju’s attention.

    Therefore, this was the reason why Ki Taeju began to visit the villa as if he were clocking in to work. To instill the idea that he was a person who showed his sincere affection by visiting her house instead of slaking his lust in her place of work.

    It was so fucking annoying.

    Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

    The villa inside the poor, hillside neighborhood was so dirty that it made him scowl. Once Ki Cheonju started to take an interest in Yu Heejin, he wouldn’t have to come here anymore. For now, it was difficult to shake off the unpleasant feeling of voluntarily stepping into a pigsty.

    As soon as he left the villa, he kicked the trash bag that was hanging on on the doorstep to vent his displeasure.

    The trash bag fell over, and he began to head towards his car that was parked nearby.

    ‘D*mn it. Who did this?’

    The lively voice sounded like it was coming from a small chick that had just emerged into the world after breaking open its shell.

    He looked back without thinking.

    Someone was crouched in front of the trash bag he had kicked over.

    The navy vest looked worn, even from far away. The girl’s tie was slightly crooked, and she was wearing a checkered skirt.

    He could tell from one glance that she was wearing a school uniform.

    She was restlessly moving and mumbling something with a long wooden stick in her mouth.

    He watched with curiosity as the girl placed the trash bag upright and clapped her hands to dust them off. Then she grabbed the wooden stick from her mouth and stuck it into the opening the stranger’s trash bag.

    Ha. He wondered why she was making such a big fuss and touching someone else’s trash. It turned out that she was secretly trying to throw away her own trash. After she was done, the girl stood up and dusted off her skirt.

    Ki Taeju wanted to see her face, but it was hidden by her hair. Feeling like it wasn’t worth it, he promptly turned around and walked away.

    I guess that kid lives here.

    His first impression of her was quite trivial.

    A week later, he finally got to see her face clearly, albeit not completely.

    Ki Cheonju had not yet caught on, so after exchanging a few words with Yu Heejin, he got into his car. The girl in the school uniform must have diligently climbed the hill because she was leaning against the wall as she caught her breath.

    Her head was lowered, but it suddenly rose. He saw a glimpse of her face as she tucked the hair that was blowing in the breeze behind her ear.

    Ki Taeju’s hand, which had been about to pull out a cigarette out of habit, suddenly froze.

    He expected her to look young, but he didn’t expect her to be so pretty.

    What are you doing? Ki Taeju muttered to himself because he didn’t know why he suddenly stopped moving. He rubbed the back of his head.

    He lit the cigarette and slightly opened the window. As he puffed on his cigarette, the girl approached the villa.

    She glanced at the car he was in. For a moment, he thought their eyes met. But he knew that couldn’t be the case. The tint on the windows were so dark, so she probably didn’t even know someone was inside the car right now.

    As expected, the girl turned her head back and walked into the villa without any hesitation. Ha. Before he knew it, he was leaning on the steering wheel and following the girl’s back with his eyes. He burst into laughter.

    As he smoked his cigarette, her face kept coming into mind. Although he shouldn’t be thinking like this about an underage girl in a school uniform, he thought that the girl was quite attractive. She had a typical face that would make his cock tingle.

    Wow, he felt like he was an irredeemable piece of trash.

    Ki Taeju flicked the cigarette butt out the window. Then he left the villa without looking back. Almost as if he were running away.

    And soon after that, Ki Cheonju took the bait.

    Now was the time to take action. It was time for that viper, Ki Cheonju, to start putting his people around Yu Heejin.

    While walking to the villa, Ki Taeju always looked around. When he got into his car, he would always smoke a cigarette before leaving. It was as if he were taking his time because he was waiting for someone to show up.

    Summer arrived, bringing with it a suffocating heat that could not be clearly defined.

    The poor neighborhood greeted the summer heat a little sooner than the rest of the world below. The villa was no exception. The building was old and could not handle the sunlight, so it was quick to heat up.

    In order to properly pique Ki Cheonju’s interest, he began to have sex with Yu Heejin as planned. The curtain above the small window fluttered. Was it the wind? He wondered without giving it much thought, but when it moved aside, it revealed none other than the girl he had seen a few days ago.

    Ki Taeju was a bit flustered. The sex show he was putting on for the men Ki Cheonju had sent was being witnessed by an underage girl instead. However, it didn’t last long. The large eyes were a lot more shocked than his own as they remained glued to their act.

    The girl couldn’t take her eyes off of the intense fucking that was unfolding on the linoleum floor. It made his lower back and hips grow feverishly hot.

    Her pale skin peeked out from underneath her school uniform. In the end, her almond-colored eyes, once clean and untouched by the world, would become corrupt in real time.

    The girl blankly stared at him for a while before hurriedly pulling her head back and running away.

    As soon as her pure face and eyes that had been fixed on him disappeared, the pleasure died out like a ghost. After sufficiently finishing up, Ki Taeju left the villa, leaving Yu Heejin lying on the floor, gasping for breath.

    And what happened after that?

    Did he fall for the summertime? Or did he fall for Park Euncho?

    She was reckless, fearless, curious, and outgoing… But rather than feeling annoyed, he kept thinking about her, unable to ignore her.

    Even after they talked briefly, he could tell. She was a normal kid. A kid who lived basking in the sunlight. No matter how much he wore a mask of a businessman as he lived under the guise of a company, he still lived in the darkness where knives and guns ran rampant underneath.

    It was obvious that this relationship would have to end at some point. So he quickly tried to pull away before it began, but it was already too late. He had fallen for it with one light, greedy kiss. How on earth could he get rid of those tempting eyes?

    From the beginning, there was no way he could avoid it. He was a wicked man, not a saint.

    Summer passed by like an evasive dream. While spending time with Euncho, Ki Taeju could not let his guard down. Ki Cheonju’s venomous surveillance, Yu Heejin’s report as she crawled inside his inner circle like a mouse, and other urgent situations that revolved around his world and the company.

    After wandering around in that kind of world, it was only natural for him to become absorbed in this time he spent inside the villa. He had a gut feeling that he wouldn’t be able to return to this time once it was over.

    The time he spent with her was finite. Like a bright candle that would eventually burn out and disappear. Until Yu Heejin’s role was discovered by Ki Cheonju himself. Until his brother was dragged down and targeted those around him for revenge… They could be together until then.

    Even though he knew the end was coming, his unwillingness to let her go was purely out of his own greed. But he couldn’t let the girl be killed due to something like greed. However, he still wanted to pretend as if he didn’t know.

    Ki Taeju felt a strange ache in his heart as he gazed at the back of her head while she fiddled with his fingers, telling him to come see her even if she left the villa.

    It was now time to come out of this dream.

    Ki Cheonju killed Yu Heejin. In fact, Yu Heejin was destined to be torn apart from the start. According to his calculations, there was no way she wouldn’t meet her demise.

    She handed him Ki Cheonju’s ledger of corruption along with his illegal distribution points. She also handed him other valid information. Ki Taeju had been secretly preparing to smuggle Yu Heejin out of the country now that she had successfully completed the task.

    But unfortunately, the angry Ki Cheonju found out about the whole thing and killed her first. When Ki Taeju asked another subordinate he had secretly placed next to Ki Cheonju’s side, he was told that Ki Cheonju seemed to have taken a liking to Yu Heejin.

    Well, he had heard that Ki Cheonju had recently purchased a penthouse in the middle of the city. Maybe he wanted to play some childish games with Yu Heejin. Either way, after he found out the details of the plan, he had gotten lost in a fit of rage and ended up committing murder.

    And, ironically, her death woke him up.

    What is it that I want?

    When he heard over the phone that Yu Heejin had not been taken out in time, the rush of helplessness that came over him was so terrible that it ate away at his body and mind. Like a weak human standing in front of the surging waves of a chaotic sea.

    He heard that Yu Heejin had met a miserable end, her body so damaged that it looked like shattered pottery. Ki Cheonju was a bastard who had a knack for torturing people since long ago. When he thought about Euncho being the target of his torment, a chill ran down his spine.

    After that, their separation came naturally.

    Right after he left, Euncho seemed to be doing pretty well. Even if he tried not to pay attention, things didn’t go as planned. When he found out that she had entered a vocational school with a career in hotel management in mind after graduating from high school, he even went as far as to take over a holding company that had a hotel as its core subsidiary.

    Even though the danger would disappear if he just left her alone, he stubbornly stayed by Euncho’s side while foolishly rationalizing his actions.

    In fact, he didn’t realize that they were separated during the time he was away from Euncho.

    Because he was always watching over her.

    But he soon came to realize that they were definitely separated through of a single photo. Under the eaves of a bar, small water droplets dripping down, a man and woman were kissing each others’ lips. They looked fresh and innocent. Anyone could tell that they had just started a new relationship.

    Only then did Ki Taeju realize that they were separated.

    In fact, there were many ways to get Lim Kyujin away from her. If he was kidnapped on his way home and held captive for a few days and beaten up, he would probably have voluntarily run away out of pure fear.
