Tame

Heeul prided herself on never having lived her life in vain. Even now, receiving child support from her devout father, a fervent believer in the cultish “Paradise Rebirth Church,” while leaving behind her gambling-addicted mother.

With the support of her university, she studied for the civil service exam, dreaming of success. Even when the damned cult pressured her to participate in their activities, she refused to yield, imagining only the day she would become a professional woman.

“That’s strange. Hyemi should definitely be here…”

…And that hope shattered when her mother abandoned her and ran away.

“Sorry. Did I scare you, Heeul?”

To make matters worse, the creditor for her mother’s gambling debts was her ex-boyfriend, Kwon-il Kang.

“I hope you never forget me for the rest of your life.”

“…”

“I want us to be entangled like this, viciously, forever.”

As he whispered with a fervent voice, Heeul suddenly realized. This man’s arrival was inevitable, and to escape him, she would have to resort to any means necessary.

“Who taught you to pull such a cute stunt?”

The man asked with a crooked, almost broken smile.

Who else could it be? It’s obvious. The woman, with a sly upturn of her lips, took the man’s hand.

“Look in the mirror.”
