      TO 35 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 35 "Does that mean... I still have a chance?" Seo-ah looked up at Taehyuk, sensing a surge of fierce, crackling intensity radiating from his eyes. 'I'm human too. My... my heart beats just like anyone else's.' Seo-ah turned her head away, but Taehyuk immediately reclaimed her gaze. Tilted slightly, his head hovered close while his hand held her chin firmly. It felt as though an unfamiliar hand was squeezing the breath right out of her lungs. She couldn't breathe. It was as if Taehyuk had stolen…

      TO 34 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 34 "Su-bin." Jin-won gently scooped Su-bin up into his arms. Without a word, she buried her face into his shoulder, her tiny body trembling violently as silent sobs wracked her frame. Seeing her cry so desperately without making a single sound completely broke Seo-ah's heart. At this point, her own situation didn't matter at all anymore. Su-bin was all that mattered. Seo-ah pulled out her phone and dialed Taehyuk's number. She waited anxiously as it rang and rang, but Taehyuk never picked…

      TO 33 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 33 Seo-ah's eyes flickered, visibly shaken by Taehyuk's somber tone. "Did you really want to escape from me so badly that you hid my own child from me? I won't make excuses about not knowing. But still... was I really that meaningless to you?" Taehyuk's Adam's apple bobbed heavily in his throat. "Y-Yes," Seo-ah said. Taehyuk flinched and narrowed his eyes as if she had just stabbed him. "I would have done anything if it meant getting away from you. Why else do you think I originally said I'd…

      TO 32 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 32 "It's okay. Thank you," Seo-ah offered Jin-won a small smile. Seeing her barely manage to curl the corners of her mouth upward, Jin-won couldn't bring himself to be stubborn any longer. He placed a hand on her shoulder. In that instant, Taehyuk's eyes narrowed sharply. "I'll be right next door at my shop, so call me immediately if anything happens, okay?" "I will. Thank you." Seo-ah nodded. Taehyuk simply stood there with his arms crossed, glaring at the two of them. He couldn't quite put…

      TO 31 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 31 Taehyuk drank in the sight of Su-bin running toward him. Her bright, beaming face showed no remaining trace of the kids' teasing from yesterday. Had he not witnessed yesterday's scene with his own eyes, he would have believed without a shadow of a doubt that she was a child who grew up deeply loved, without a single care in the world. Fortunately, Su-bin possessed great reflexes and didn't trip, stopping safely right in front of Taehyuk. "Mister, you came to our shop yesterday,…

      TO 30 🎀 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 30 "I'm begging you, please just leave. Please!" Seo-ah pleaded, her voice breaking into full-blown tears. "What's going on here, Seo-ah? Who is this guy?" Jin-won asked, stepping closer to her. Taehyuk stared back at Jin-won and Seo-ah, his face a complete mask. Is this her new man? The thought hit him like a wave of arctic cold, freezing his heart solid. "I'll leave for today," he said quietly. "Don't you ever come back." Taehyuk paused on his way to the entrance. Su-bin was still burying…
    • TO 3

      TO 3 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 3 With a faint frown, Taehyuk deleted the text message from his phone. “…And so, W Construction was selected as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of H Construction,” the executive explained. Taehyuk spoke up. “Isn’t W Construction specialized in residential housing? Can a firm like that handle acquiring H Construction? If I remember correctly, H Construction’s business scope—including civil engineering, plant construction, and overseas projects—is far broader than W…

      TO 29 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 29 Seo-ah backed away, but Taehyuk kept closing the distance between them. She had poured so much of herself into getting away from him, yet Taehyuk managed to erase seven whole years in just three short steps. "W-What are you talking about?" "I came for my kid." His words hit her with chilling clarity, making her heart drop right into her stomach. "W-What do you mean? I lost the baby back then. You know that." "No, I don't." Taehyuk's brow furrowed. "I couldn't verify it because you ran…
    • TO 28

      TO 28 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 28 After giving birth to Su-bin, Seo-ah settled down here and opened a small bakery in a commercial apartment building. At first, she simply wanted to bake healthy bread for Su-bin, so she picked up baking as a hobby. Over time, however, she fell completely in love with it and decided to study it seriously. Thanks to her relentless hard work, she now ran a proper baking workshop where she taught regular classes. With each passing year, business picked up enough that she managed to pay back every…

      TO 27 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 27 "Whoa. Mom told me Su-bin didn't have a dad!" Min-soo yelled at his mother at the top of his lungs. His mother hurriedly clamped a hand over his mouth. Taehyuk spoke up, his voice dripping with icy gravity. "Just a moment ago, your son was teasing my daughter, telling her she doesn't have a father. Judging by his attitude, it doesn't sound like the first time. I find this extremely offensive." Though his tone was polite, it carried an unmistakable weight of authority. "Oh, it's—it's not…
