Chapters
Chapter 10 ... Seol stared at Donghee, completely at a loss for words. There was only one reason her mother would wake up in the middle of the night and shove her hands into someone else's jeans pockets: she was undoubtedly looking for cash. “I asked you what this is! Why aren't you answering me?!” “A customer at the café gave it to me.” Donghee wasn't slurring her words, but the heavy reek of alcohol hit Seol’s nose all the same. There was no point in asking why she had gone digging…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 2... Looking at Donghee, whose face was soaked in tears, Seol thought of how she used to be like an innocent child. "My husband is my first love." Remembering how Donghee used to brag about her husband whenever she got the chance, Seol felt her breath catch and her heart shatter. Even though it was something they should look into once Donghee calmed down a bit, there was no way her husband would have secretly stashed away money behind her back. "Just get some sleep for now. I'll figure things…

- Chapter 15 ... “What? Hey! Our quota is completely full! And if I do that, what does that make me to Hyemi...? Actually, you know what? Fine. Done.” Jinshin quickly changed his tune the second he caught the look in Junhyuk’s eyes. A memory from their study-abroad days in the US flashed through his mind—specifically, watching Junhyuk beat two guys into absolute pulp right next to him. “By the end of this week.” “Make it this month. There are three weeks left anyway, so just give me two…

- Chapter 14 ... Once the decision was made, coming up with a way to actually improve Seol’s situation turned out to be surprisingly tough. If Seol owned even a tiny plot of land out in the countryside, he could have relocated an MS subsidiary out there to send the property values skyrocketing into the stratosphere. But she didn't own a single square foot of land—heck, she didn't even live in a lease-deposit rental. Even if he managed to source a winning first-prize lottery ticket, there was no way to…

- Chapter 13 ... The way she hunched her shoulders in embarrassment made her look as lovely as a night-blooming white gourd flower drenched in dew. “Well, my eyesight is perfectly fine, too.” “Look, these days, plenty of couples do that.” “And now you’re treating me like some ancient old timer.” “No, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that we were both students back then... Though, to be fair, we didn’t split everything down to the exact cent.” “So how did you do it…

- Chapter 12 ... “Anyway, I bought you a souvenir from my business trip.” “A gift?” Seol’s eyes widened at the unexpected words. “Here, take it.” Junhyuk held out a shopping bag. “Oh, no. You really don't have to give me anything.” “It’s no big deal, so just take it. It hardly cost anything anyway.” The hand holding the bag kept inching closer until it stopped right in front of her nose. After staring at his handsome fist—which was sculpted so well it could have served as a…

- Chapter 11 ... “‘Recently broke up with her boyfriend.’” Park Junhyuk fixated on that last sentence before slamming the folder onto the table. “Did you spot a problem, sir?” Secretary Park asked carefully. “This. I thought so before, but isn’t this a bit too sloppy?” “I’ll set up a follow-up investigation right away. Just tell me what’s missing, and I’ll make sure it gets added.” “The five Ws and H—isn’t that reporting 101? Who, when, where, how, doing what, and why…

- Chapter 9 ... A heavy silence descended upon the table. Seol stared straight at the man sitting across from her without even blinking. His expression was as bone-dry as if he’d just read off a grocery list instead of confessing his feelings. There wasn't a trace of fluttery excitement or shyness on his face—not even if you looked with a magnifying glass. He was truly a specimen of human being she had never encountered before in her life. All she knew about him was his name and his job. What she had…

Chapter 82 Before anyone could process the situation further, Somerset’s voice cut in harshly. “Mother, that bastard has lost his mind!” “……” “He’s calling out some strange name, ‘Mary,’ and just look at him! He’s acting like he’s holding someone in his arms when there’s no one there!” Marilyn finally realized something. ‘They can’t see me.’ Maybe because the wardrobe was too damaged, her existence was fading. Even though Dedrick was holding her, the…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 8 ... “Pardon?” “This works out great. I was actually trying to figure out how to repay you for helping me earlier.” “I don't think there are any restaurants open nearby, though.” “Then we can just go somewhere that isn't nearby.” “It’s probably going to be really tough to catch a taxi, too.” “I drove here.” “Oh... right. You have a car.” Now that she thought about it, he had mentioned earlier that he took a call in his car. Seol gave an understanding nod. Even if…
