      Chapter 15 Cover
      by Gideon — Bora snatched the phone from Hyewan's hand. "What's so good about looking at that? Stop it. If Cha Yundo said he'd handle it, he will. Just trust him and wait." Hyewan let out a long sigh. There was nothing else she could do. She drank until she'd drowned her anger and frustration in alcohol, eventually drifting off to sleep as the intoxication took hold. When Hyewan woke up, her head pounding with a splitting headache, it was already nine o'clock. Startled, she shook Bora awake, who was still asleep on…

      Chapter 14 Cover
      by Gideon — Just hearing the words made her feel like she was standing in the middle of a chaotic scene. Hyewan pressed a hand to her throbbing forehead. Yundo rubbed his stiff neck. "I know it's bad to say this to someone who just took pills, but the bottle was still pretty full. He seemed conscious when they loaded him into the ambulance, too." "There was a suicide note, wasn't there?" "How did you know?" Hyewan's voice was scathing as she watched Yundo's startled expression. "Wasn't my name half the…

      Chapter 13 Cover
      by Gideon — But hope and peace are always tested. Hyewan's peace didn't even last a full day. She had deliberately stayed in bed late, finally getting up around noon to start cleaning. The apartment was small, yet there was always something to do, even if she cleaned every single day. It never even looks like I've done anything... After showering, she changed into fresh, crisp clothes. Since she had no plans to go out, she left her hair wet. She opened the refrigerator, wondering what to eat for her first…

      Chapter 12 Cover
      by Gideon — "Kim Jin-myeong's mother? She came again?" "Yes. It was absolute chaos. Hyewan, are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. But why did she even come?" "I was with Min-suk at the time. She just started spewing whatever she wanted, completely ignoring everyone else. I couldn't believe someone could be so awful," Gyeong-ae said, shaking her head in disbelief. "She acted like a madwoman. The things she said... and her expression was so fierce and venomous. I'm afraid she'll haunt my dreams." Hyewan's hanging hand…

      Chapter 11 Cover
      by Gideon — "Why do you care?" Hyewan couldn't understand Kim Jin-myeong's attitude. "We're nothing to each other. Why are you asking me that?" "Wan..." "Don't call me that. You have no right to." Desperate, Kim Jin-myeong pleaded his case. "You know how much I love you, don't you? Can't you just wait for me a little longer?" Her anger flared. "Saying that is an insult in itself! You've already picked out a bride and booked a wedding venue. What am I supposed to be waiting for?" Hyewan had no intention of…

      Chapter 10 Cover
      by Gideon — "Fuck, stop asking." "Hngh, ahh!" Yundo slapped her butt hard. "Ah!" The moment her inner walls tightened, he rammed into her. His cock struck the sweet spot hidden deep near her cervix. "Ahhh!" Hyewan cried out in ecstasy as she reached her peak. He froze, his body locking up like a still frame. Then, as she collapsed, her strength spent, he pulled her close and gave it his all for the final push. As he drove himself into her as if to tear her open, Yundo couldn't hold back any longer and…

      Chapter 9 Cover
      by Gideon — Hyewan spoke nonchalantly. "I'm not so desperately poor that I need a sponsor. Besides, I tend to obsess over the downsides rather than the perks. I hated even imagining what the price would be if I accepted the sponsorship." "You're quite honest," Yundo remarked, his gaze shifting to the chef. "We can skip the full meal. Could you bring us some appetizers that pair well with whiskey?" "Of course, sir." "Then the whiskey first, please. With ice." "Yes, sir." As the chef disappeared, Yundo turned his…

      Chapter 8 Cover
      by Gideon — Yundo rushed into the hospital room, calling Yun-woo's name. "Yun-woo...!" Hyewan, who met his eyes the moment he entered, quickly pressed a finger to her lips. "Shh!" At her gesture, Yundo fell silent. "Yun-woo just fell asleep," she whispered, tiptoeing out of the room. Yundo followed her, carefully closing the door behind them. It was a VIP suite, so no outside noise should reach inside. Hyewan watched Yundo's worried gaze linger on the door before she asked, "Did you know Yun-woo had a sleep…

      Chapter 7 Cover
      by Gideon — When I opened the hospital room door, Yun-woo greeted me warmly, propped up against the bed. "Teacher!" His complexion was definitely better than yesterday. "Did you sleep well?" "Yes. How about you, Teacher? Did you struggle with insomnia again?" Yun-woo studied my face closely and sighed, a sound far too weary for his age. "Your dark circles are so bad, people would believe you're a panda's friend. Why don't you wear heavier makeup?" "I know a twenty-five-year-old looks like an old lady to a…

      Chapter 6 Cover
      by Gideon — "Yun-woo is a member of the Cha family, isn't he? He should do what he can." "Grandmother!" He couldn't contain his anger and raised his voice. "My father lived a full life before he passed away! And what's there to say about Yun-seok? I told him so many times not to ride a motorcycle, but he went off and did whatever he wanted, and in the end, he took his own life! They all died for a reason. There's no such thing as a family curse!" "Don't say such things. Our ancestors will be…
