      TO SS 1 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Side Story 1 "Come on, time to wake up." Seo-ah pressed a sweet kiss to Taehyuk's cheek. Taehyuk, who seemed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened his arms and pulled her down against him. "Eek!" A tiny squeal escaped Seo-ah's lips, but it was quickly swallowed up against Taehyuk's bare chest. "What in the world... you were awake this whole time! Come on, get up. We need to eat breakfast." Taehyuk just buried his nose in her hair. "Honey." Seo-ah pushed gently against his broad shoulders. "I amโ€ฆ

      TO 9 Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 9 Seo-ahโ€™s eyes trembled at the reproach hidden behind his expressionless face. โ€œIt... wouldn't be bad if Dad raised the child, either.โ€ Seo-ahโ€™s voice trailed off, devoid of confidence. โ€œRight. Raising the child together as mom and dad would be best for the kid. And itโ€™s not as if Iโ€™m going anywhere.โ€ Taehyukโ€™s gaze jabbed at Seo-ah as though saying youโ€™re the problem here. โ€œH-However...โ€ Looking at the hesitant Seo-ah, the corners of Taehyukโ€™s mouthโ€ฆ

      TO 8 Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 8 โ€œLee Seo-ah. I told you, youโ€™re drunk.โ€ Taehyukโ€™s brows knit sharply. He despised drunk women. Yet even facing his stern expression, Seo-ah didn't care in the slightest. โ€œYes, I am drunk. So tell me. Why didn't you kiss me like that? If you had kissed me like that sooner...โ€ Seo-ahโ€™s gaze swept lingeringly over Taehyukโ€™s body. Having thrown on his bathrobe without much thought, Taehyuk became acutely conscious of his chest exposed through the gap in the robe. โ€œIf evenโ€ฆ
    • TO 7

      TO 7 Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 7 In the end, Taehyuk couldn't recall. The only thing that remained in his memory was the image of Seo-ahโ€™s face looking like she had been stuck in a massive wedding cake. Even so, her face had been lovely. Useless thoughts. Taehyuk reached out and turned off the shower. The small cracks Seo-ah had created in his life were spreading across his heart. Through those fissures, memories he had stowed away were slowly leaking out, though he had yet to realize it. โ€œCome and eat.โ€ Taehyukโ€ฆ

      TO 67 THE END ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 67 "What about Su-bin?!" Seo-ah bolted upright, looking ready to sprint out the door to her daughter that very second. Taehyuk chuckled and gently pulled her back into his arms. The moment they drifted apart, the chill in the air rushed in; Seo-ah used the cold as a perfect excuse to snuggle even deeper into his chest. "By the way, have you really been staying here in the freezing cold like this?" "Well... I was alone." "What about meals?" "If I got hungry, I ate. If not, I skipped." Seo-ahโ€ฆ

      TO 66 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 66 At Taehyuk's words, Seo-ah's eyes widened before filling with tears. "Now your face is even redder than mine," Taehyuk said with a soft smile, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips. "I'll make you blush like this all night long." Seo-ah tightly gripped his collar. "Because I'm going to spend the whole night telling you I love youโ€”making up for every single time I didn't say it before." His lips covered hers once more, and Seo-ah wrapped her arms around him with all the overwhelming emotionโ€ฆ

      TO 65 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 65 How long had she been driving? Before she knew it, the scenery around Seo-ah had turned entirely white. Snowflakes began to scatter across the road winding alongside the valley. The ravine was already piled high with white mounds from previous snowfalls, making the whole place feel strangely disconnected from realityโ€”even though it was barely an hour away from the city center. But distance didn't matter. Taehyuk had isolated himself deep inside this valley. Just thinking about the mindsetโ€ฆ

      TO 64 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” Chapter 64 Jin-won straightened his back. "I want to drop the charges." "What...? Are you..." "Is that possible?" When Seo-ahโ€”the victim herselfโ€”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 toโ€ฆ

      TO 63 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” 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 herโ€”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 herโ€ฆ

      TO 62 ๐ŸŽ€ Cover
      by Ruby โ€” 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 lookedโ€ฆ
