Chapter 64 Jin-won straightened his back. "I want to drop the charges." "What...? Are you..." "Is that possible?" When Seo-ah—the victim herself—stated that she didn't want any punishment, Go-eun and Seung-hee were released from the police station right away. But Seung-hee vanished like the wind shortly after, and Go-eun's family went completely bankrupt, leaving behind nothing but mountain-high debts. According to Jin-soo, Go-eun was buried so deep in debt that she actually begged to be sent to…- 885.7 K • Completed
- Chapter 12 A Perfect Opportunity Human memory is finite and unstable. But just as one doesn’t forget how to breathe, there’s always something that inevitably remains remembered. In Ferda’s case, it was the object of his hatred. Not just names, but a list of those he wanted to hate and take revenge on—a list of deaths. To hate them, he dug into their achievements. To take revenge, he carefully memorized their flaws. ‘Thinking about it now, it was completely absurd.’ The…

- Chapter 63 Seung-hee couldn't bring herself to answer Taehyuk. It wasn't a matter of pride. In a single second, the illusions she had clung to for so long were stripped away, leaving her speechlessly stunned by the sudden shock. She had simply hated Seo-ah. Seung-hee had actively searched for reasons to dislike and resent her—that was the only dynamic between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law she had ever known. To her, a daughter-in-law was meant to be a blameless sinner in front of her…

Chapter 53 “This is the wooden practice stick I give all of you whenever you train.” “But why did you bring out my stick?” “Yours is for comparison.” Verity pointed to the end of the wooden stick. “If you look closely, you can see it's heavily worn from use.” “That is because Ian has devoted himself to training more than anyone else in the village.” Every morning, Ian woke up early to warm up by himself. Whenever the villagers trained once... He trained…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 11 “Just Feel It Again.” There’s a story about blind men and an elephant. To sum it up, three blind men were asked to touch different parts of an elephant and describe what it was. Of course, all of their answers were different. The moral of the story is that you can’t judge the whole based on just a part. However, there are times when something is so clear and obvious that just seeing a part of it is enough to grasp the whole. For Ferda, that moment came when he…

- Chapter 62 Even though she had brought him inside just to avoid the neighbors' prying eyes, facing him in such an enclosed space made it hard for Seo-ah to breathe. It was especially suffocating seeing Taehyuk's gaze linger on the exact spot where they had shared a kiss before. "I-I'll get you some... coffee." The words slipped out before she could stop herself, and a faint smile touched Taehyuk's lips. "I'd appreciate that." Seo-ah immediately regretted it, but under the light, Taehyuk's face looked…

- Chapter 61 Taehyuk fell completely silent. —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. “If 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 mind—the little girl for whom Seo-ah was the absolute center of…

- Chapter 52 The black ropes surrounding the empty houses began to ripple with a bluish glow. The brighter the light became... The more violently the ropes swayed. Then, at last... They began to rise into the sky. Each rope stopped at a different height. The future fire station stopped at the height of three stories. The library rose even higher, about five stories. And the training grounds, which had been marked last... Stopped at an even greater height. Streams of light poured down…

- Chapter 51 As soon as I heard that the flames had turned white... A strange certainty filled my mind. 'Huh... Could it be that Libby Unni has become stronger too?' The reason that thought came to me was because of something I had learned in science class back in school. 'Flames change color depending on their temperature.' Most people think of fire as being red. But surprisingly, red flames are actually the coolest. The hotter a flame becomes... The whiter it burns. Just as I…
