      by Atlas Haven — Chapter 13 What is Marketing (1) Even after making Cola, it was a continuous series of busy schedules. You couldn’t just sell Cola in glasses, could you? First, I visited a glass factory to commission custom production of Cola bottles. The design was already decided. The Contour Bottle. An innovative design that captured not only aesthetic sense but also grip with its graceful volume and vertical lines. Characterized by originality that could distinguish its form even when grabbed in the dark, or…

      by Atlas Haven — Chapter 12 Ugly Flower (8) In the middle of the Workshop that was nothing short of chaos. The appearance of Cola contained in a transparent bottle was truly radiant. At first glance it was a black and gloomy liquid, but when sunlight passed through it, it revealed a sensual brown color. “……” “……” The two people who had been jumping around with joy just moments before now held their breath and examined it as if appreciating a work of art. “Ah, we really completed it.” One month…

      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…

      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…

      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…

      by Ruby — Chapter 26 "W-What do you..." Junghyun's brow furrowed tightly. Watching his father's reaction, Taehyuk let out a hollow laugh. From that subtle flinch alone, it was clear that Junghyun knew everything—confirming beyond a doubt that Seo-ah had given birth to his child and was raising them on her own. "So you really knew all along, Father." "I have no idea what you're talking about," Junghyun attempted to deny it late in the game, but there was no fooling Taehyuk. "Don't try to hide it from me. For…

      TO 25 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 25 Taehyuk stared blankly at the empty apartment. The rooms were dead silent, draped in a heavy, suffocating gloom. After taking a shower, he lay alone in bed, tossing and turning all night as memories of Seo-ah burst forth like a broken dam. Human emotions were truly fickle things. When they were oceans apart, it had been manageable in its own way. But now, simply knowing they breathed the same air under the same sky left him feeling utterly, uncontrollably hollow. They were strangers now,…

      by Atlas Haven — Chapter 11 Ugly Flower (7) 6 AM. The luxurious private suite at The Richfield Hotel. Penelope’s somewhat early morning begins. Penelope took off her sleeping cap and turned off the loudly ringing alarm clock. “Yaaawn…” She yawned languidly and stretched thoroughly. When she pressed the switch by her bedside, the blackout curtains smoothly drew back, revealing the view of Lichfield Square. The sky changing from deep navy blue to pale orange. Lamplighters carrying long poles, going around…

      by Ruby — Chapter 24 Seven years ago, after sending Seo-ah away, Junghyun confronted Seunghi with eyes burning with rage. ‘Didn't I tell you not to let Go-eun into this house?!’ ‘I—it had been a while... She just stopped by after her trip. She and I have a history, so how could I just cut her off like that?’ ‘You invited her over even when Seo-ah was here? Do you have any idea what today is?’ ‘That's...’ ‘This isn't the first time, is it?’ ‘N-No, it isn't! This is the first time.…

      TO 23 Cover
      by Ruby — Chapter 23 Taehyuk vividly remembered the last phone call he had received from Seo-ah. At the time, he was right in the middle of an executive board meeting. Truthfully, it was a call he never should have picked up. Receiving personal calls during a meeting was the one thing Taehyuk loathed most; in fact, turning off one's phone before stepping into a meeting with him was basic corporate etiquette. Yet, Taehyuk had broken his own rule that day. But even then, his mind was so consumed with wrapping up…
