      TO 17 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 17 The line was already dead. Seo-ah stared down at her phone with blank, hollow eyes. Her dazed gaze wandered over to the stone steps leading down to the main gate. The aching affection she had tried so hard to suppress for the baby inside her suddenly burst through the dam. Along with it came the memory of that other child—the one buried deep within her heart, impossible to ever forget. No one will protect my baby. No one in this family... Only I... Only I can save my child. Gritings her…

      by Ruby Chapter 16 "Hey." Mrs. Kim gestured with her chin toward the apron hanging on the wall, silently ordering Seo-ah to put it on immediately. Seo-ah stared at the apron for a moment. She wasn't alone anymore. While she didn't feel terribly ill, it was early in her pregnancy, so she had to be extra cautious. "Mrs. Kim, I really don't think this is right." At Seo-ah's response, Mrs. Kim's eyes stretched tightly toward her temples in sharp irritation. "What did you just say, young ma'am?" The title 'young…

      by Ruby Chapter 15 "N-Not here, please," Seo-ah pleaded desperately. But her words fell on deaf ears. "What difference does it make? All you need is my seed anyway. Is there really any reason to go all the way to the bedroom? Besides..." Taehyuk yanked her underwear down. "You were the one who treated me like an animal first." "Ah!" Before Seo-ah could even prepare herself, Taehyuk breached her body. "A-Ah..." The sudden wave of pain made her knees tremble, but she forced herself to endure it. Just as…

      by Ruby Chapter 14 "I'm sorry." Seo-ah lowered her head deeply. Seunghi scanned her up and down before letting out a sharp click of her tongue. "Your mother-in-law is here and you don't even offer a cup of tea?" "Ah, yes." Seo-ah quickly turned toward the kitchen. Behind her, Seunghi's voice pierced the air like an icicle. "Forget the tea. Go down to the parking garage and get the side dishes from Driver Kim." "The side dishes?" "Yes! Because you made such a scene that day, I couldn't even give Taehyuk the…

      TO 13 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 13 Taehyuk ran a hand down his face in frustration as he read through the documents on his tablet. "Is... is something wrong?" At the executive's hesitant voice, Taehyuk looked up. The man stood there with his hands folded neatly, looking completely utterly terrified, like someone trying to appease a harsh master. Taehyuk raised an eyebrow, silently asking what he meant. "Well, it's just... your expression has looked uncomfortable for a while now..." Only then did Taehyuk realize he hadn't…

      BYB 5 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 5 Ha! It was a statement so shameless that it left her speechless. She wanted to snap back that his face wouldn't help business at all, but Jiwoo couldn't bring herself to refute it, and her face turned red for no reason instead. It was really unfair, but there was a clear connection between good looks and sales. Wasn't Ju Minhyuk, the weekend worker, living proof? However, because she didn't want to admit that fact obediently, Jiwoo kept her mouth shut. Looking at Jiwoo like that, the man let…

      by Ruby Chapter 4 Cha Wonchul, the owner of and Jiwoo's father, was also running a convenience store nearby. However, the night part-time worker quit suddenly recently, leaving him stuck at the convenience store. To make matters worse, he strained his waist and could no longer do the kitchen work, which required a lot of strength. Minhyuk only came on weekends, so Jiwoo was in a situation where she had to work alone on weekdays. Since she really needed someone to work with, Jiwoo eventually posted a paper that…

      by Ruby Chapter 3 The tteokbokki came out. It was the exact tteokbokki whose trademark rights he had to get no matter what. —If you go to Hanju City, there is an old beer pub called . The tteokbokki at that shop tastes incredible. Go and get the trademark rights. It’s a flavor worth betting Songhwa’s future on.

      BYB 2 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 2 One month later. Jiwoo had jumped into her dad's shop with the grand dream of becoming the god of business, but she had not made any good results. She sat in the empty shop and let out a deep sigh. This neighborhood was not like before, either. A lot of franchise bars and cute pubs had popped up, making business very difficult. Or is it? Maybe I just don't have a talent for business? "Hmm." She kept giving extra food for free to college students who didn't have much money in their pockets.…

      by Ruby Chapter 1 The man’s silhouette was revealed. His body was tight with muscle, without any extra fat. Jiwoo looked at his body with shaking eyes, then quickly closed them. She was scared because her heart was falling for him so deeply. Just then, he pulled her chin toward him and warned her playfully. "No. Jiwoo, open your eyes." His voice was full of deep desire. "Is it hard?" He asked as if he were being gentle, but his actions were not gentle at all. "That's why I asked—why did you tease me?"…
