Luxury foreign cars lined the streets, and women with heavy makeup and large, menacing men appeared frequently. The men resembled the ones Soo-ah had seen at her house, making her realize they weren’t ordinary people.

Just as she was about to turn back, convinced she had taken the wrong path, a large black car slowly brushed past her. It was close—close enough to collide.

The car’s windows were rolled down, and inside sat a familiar man.

Seo Mun-hwon.

He was holding a cigarette between his lips, gazing straight ahead, while an actress-like woman clung to him as if embracing him. Upon closer inspection, she seemed to be an actress Soo-ah had seen on television a few times.

“This can’t be happening.”

As the stunned Soo-ah mumbled to herself, the car stopped right in front of her. At that moment, men rushed out from a nearby club. They quickly lined up in front of the car in perfect formation.

One of them opened the car door, and then he appeared.

She wasn’t mistaken. Confirming it was indeed Seo Mun-hwon, Soo-ah turned the other way and began to run. But soon, the area was filled with men in suits.

“Miss Moon Soo-ah.”

Jang Ji-cheol emerged from between the men. Soo-ah, flustered, took a step back before stopping.

As he curled one side of his lips, the scar around his mouth twisted, creating an eerie expression—uncertain whether he was smiling or crying.

The moment he called her name again, Soo-ah turned and ran blindly. But—

She crashed into a large man’s chest and staggered.

Seo Mun-hwon’s voice clung to her ears like cotton candy, while his body pressed against her skin. The heat and firmness of it felt strange.

It was an uncomfortable sensation she had never experienced before. Quickly pulling away, Soo-ah lifted her head to look at him.

His sharp gaze made her drop her eyes, where she spotted a lipstick stain on his shirt collar.

It must have been from the woman in the car with him earlier. Her already bad impression of him worsened. A vulgar man. A man who toyed with women.

Soo-ah glared at him with determination.

“Jang Ji-cheol is my right-hand man.”

Mun-hwon lightly tapped Ji-cheol’s shoulder before bringing his hand to his throat.

“He’s like a little brother to me, but if you keep behaving like this, Miss Moon Soo-ah, I won’t be able to help it.”

His large hand wrapped around Ji-cheol’s thick neck in one grip. As he applied pressure, the veins on the back of his hand turned blue, and Ji-cheol’s face grew pale.

Soo-ah, who had been holding her lips tightly shut, had no choice but to throw away her pride and answer his threat.

Only then did Mun-hwon let go of Ji-cheol and turn his gaze to Soo-ah.

At his signal, a car pulled up in front of them. He personally opened the back door and said,

Soo-ah glared at him before reluctantly getting into the car. As soon as Mun-hwon entered as well, the car started moving. Soo-ah stared straight ahead, refusing to look in his direction. The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly silent.

In the confined space, his presence felt even stronger. Just sitting beside him was overwhelming. His deep scent was hot enough to melt ice, and the mix of cologne and skin was suffocatingly intoxicating.

Soo-ah clenched her fists, trying to block out every sensation. No matter how alluring he seemed, to her, he was nothing but an object of hatred.

If not for Seo Mun-hwon, she would have successfully escaped from Ihan and Bo-kyung.

This man was Ihan’s underling, the one who shackled her. As her hatred for him grew, she realized the car wasn’t heading home. It veered toward Cheongdam-dong and stopped in front of a large building.

The driver stepped out and opened the back door.

Mun-hwon got out first.

Behind Mun-hwon, a truck came into view.

On the truck were objects that appeared to be Soo-ah’s graduation projects, their size matching her own in both height and width.

There was no way Soo-ah wouldn’t recognize something she had made—it was unmistakably her work. Two workers grabbed the packaged piece from either side and carried it into the building.

He was using the piece Soo-ah had spent a year working on overnight as leverage to threaten her.

Soo-ah clenched her fists and glared at him, hesitating. It was a project imbued with her sweat and effort—she couldn’t abandon it.

However, she refused to acknowledge his victory.

Rather than being dragged, it was better to walk in on her own terms. Soo-ah spun around and entered the building ahead of him.

The exterior of the building was extravagant, and the interior was no different. The vast space had towering ceilings that gave off an overwhelming presence. The black marble floor and the steel fixtures of the lighting left no room for warmth.

The air conditioning was set so high that the chill made her skin prickle, forcing Soo-ah to hunch her shoulders.
