      TO 61 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 61 Taehyuk fell completely silent. β€”I lived my entire life for you. But... the way you look at me now... you look so sad. I just can't bear the thought that my own broken self made you this unhappy. "Ha..." Taehyuk ran a heavy hand back through his hair. β€œIf you drag Seo-ah back to you using nothing but your own desires, she’s going to rot away in the end, too.” Right after his mother's words, Su-bin flashed through his mindβ€”the little girl for whom Seo-ah was the absolute center of…

      TO 60 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 60 "W-what..." The woman glared viciously at Seo-ah. "She ran off after stealing my money, and now she's dead! My money!" "Ha..." Seo-ah swayed on her feet. Young-ran's end was so fittingly her. Before Seo-ah could collapse from the sheer shame and heartbreak, Taehyuk rushed over and caught her in his arms. Held tightly against his chest, Seo-ah lost consciousness, hot tears streaming down the corners of her eyes. Seo-ah couldn't clearly remember what happened after that. A mob of creditors…

      TO 59 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 59 Seo-ah turned back toward him, her voice crystal clear and radiating a sub-zero chill. He hadn't moved an inch. "No." "Would you actually listen to me if I got down on my knees?" His words made Seo-ah's eyes quiver in disbelief. This man... kneeling in front of me? His tall frame, his crisp, immaculate appearance, the disciplined yet graceful air of a trained soldier, and those dark eyes locking squarely onto hersβ€”she hated all of it. She hated the idea of him showing weakness in front of…

      TO 58 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 58 "Ah..." Seo-ah clamped both hands over her mouth. Even though Su-bin had fallen asleep after taking her medicineβ€”and usually slept so soundly that you could carry her off on your back without her noticingβ€”you never knew. Seo-ah clenched her jaw until her teeth ached, terrified that a single moan might slip out. Yet Taehyuk, who was sending wild, crashing waves through her body, didn't seem to care about her predicament at all. Seo-ah lifted her head weakly. His lips were trailing up from…

      TO 57 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 57 "What are you talking about?" Taehyuk's brows furrowed tightly. "Forget it. It's none of my business anyway. Just go ahead and marry her. You can always have another child with her. So please..." "I asked you what you mean by that. Who on earth am I supposed to be marrying?" Taehyuk grabbed her by the shoulders, his eyes searching hers as her gaze flickered in confusion. "I heard you were marrying Jung Go-eun..." "Are you insane? Me? Leaving you and Su-bin behind?" Seo-ah bit her lip and…

      TO 56 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 56 "Who's coming...?" Seo-ah asked. Su-bin looked up at her with red, puffy eyes. "Daddy." The little girl hesitated. Jin-won had explicitly told her not to tell Seo-ah that Taehyuk had visited, but Su-bin simply couldn't keep it in. She was just too happy to have seen him again. The moment those words left Su-bin's mouth, Seo-ah pulled her into a tight hug. "Su-bin, listen to Mommy very carefully. Even if that mister comes by, you can never, ever go with him. Do you understand? You have to…

      TO 55 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 55 Love. Hearing that single word made Taehyuk's heart violently skip a beat, rattling like shattered porcelain. Every time it beat, the inside of his chest throbbed with a sharp, searing pain, as if he were being sliced open with a blade. It was a realization that had come far too late. Because he had always believed himself incapable of such an emotion, he had constantly ignored the feeling as it slowly gnawed away at him from the inside. He had convinced himself it was merely a desire for…

      TO 54 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 54 Taehyuk looked around the small shop. Sensing who he was looking for, Young-ran let out a bitter laugh. "Looking for Seo-ah's father? Who knows where he is? Probably hunkered down in some gambling house again." Taehyuk felt like he finally understood why their situation had never improved, despite the substantial amount of money he sent her every single month. Young-ran was clearly running the shop in name only, with zero intention of actually doing business. "As you can see, I'm stuck…

      TO 53 πŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby β€” Chapter 53 Less than an hour after Seo-ah called him, Jin-won rushed into the hospital room. "Seo-ah!" Seo-ah, who had been sitting by Su-bin's bed watching her sleep, opened the door and walked out into the parlor the moment she heard his voice. When Jin-won saw how pale and exhausted she looked, his eyes widened in concern. "Are you okay? What on earth happened...?" "I'm fine," Seo-ah offered a bitter smile. That smile looked so painfully heavy that Jin-won instinctively stepped closer and pulled…

      by Ruby β€” Chapter 52 "Su-bin... my baby..." Seo-ah opened her eyes, muttering under her breath. The moment she regained consciousness, she sat bolt upright. She stared down at her empty arms, then hurriedly scrambled to scan her surroundings, searching frantically for her daughter. "Su-bin! Where's Su-bin?!" Seo-ah rushed to get off the bed. When the long IV tubing got in her way, she yanked it out without a second thought, not even giving Taehyuk a chance to stop her. "Stop it." "Get out of my way! I have to…
