“Haeri, take your hand off.” “You first.” “I’m saying this for your sake.” “And if I don’t, then what?” Provoking Jeong Mok at times like this was extremely dangerous. Haeri had already learned that through the week-long marathon in bed, still leaving his thighs weak and his hole sore at the memory. But Jeong Mok needed to learn too. Provoking Haeri could be just as dangerous. Beneath the perfectly tailored trousers, the king cobra grew larger. Haeri lightly gripped that…- 265.9 K • Completed
- Even after hearing the answer he wanted, Jeong Mok’s expression hardly relaxed. ‘Is that really his true heart?’ It was obvious, Haeri was playing up his pitiful side, exaggerating weakness, while at the same time trying to get through the moment with little displays of cuteness. Haeri himself seemed to think he was giving a method performance, or else had resigned himself to all-or-nothing, for he kept trying to soothe Jeong Mok’s anger with cuteness. He didn’t truly feel he had done…

- When Haeri declared before everyone that he would take responsibility and live with Jeong Mok no matter what, the frozen atmosphere melted in an instant. The Hyeonsan family, who had looked stern at the thought of their carefully raised child being devoured by a scoundrel unwilling to take responsibility, loosened their hard expressions in satisfaction. The Chairwoman, laying down the weapon in her heart, said that such a joyful day could not go without a drink. The Professor then mentioned a…

- Choi Jieon’s gaze fell on Haeri. “It’s still before you’ve even decided whether to meet or not.” Jeong Mok, picking at his side dishes without appetite, added, “She’s still your birth mother. If it were me, I’d want to see whether she really went off and is living well after abandoning her child.” “Watch your mouth.” Jeong Mok glared at her. With his large build and sharp features, that was usually enough to make people shrink back. But Choi Jieon was…

- The Professor could not hide his bewilderment, Jeong Mok’s expression was gradually hardening, and Haeri was so stunned it felt like his breath was caught in his throat. Only the Chairwoman remained calm. She did not budge an inch, like a towering mountain. It was by no means a compliment. There were many kinds of mountains. Some had rugged slopes, some were gentle. Some were fertile mountains that embraced life with abundant water and soil. Others, though there might be a few trees at the base, grew…

- “If you’ve come, come in. What are you standing there for.” Chairwoman of Hyeonsan, Noh Seongjae. Though she had been chosen as successor for being the former Chairwoman’s daughter, she had faced constant opposition inside the male-dominated, patriarchal construction group. Even so, she firmly secured her position and raised Hyeonsan into a global conglomerate. A heroic figure. She was also famous for always wearing hanbok, a trendsetter of hanbok in Korea. As the rumors said, she was…

- Woof! As Haeri approached, the excited Gom-i jumped up and down. It looked like it might lead to a major accident, so Haeri braced himself and pushed against his body. What would count as abuse for another dog was nothing more than rough play for a giant dog like this one. Gom-i rolled on the ground, then sprang up and barked happily. His voice was so loud the whole park echoed. “Good thing you’re here. Otherwise I would’ve suffocated.” Haeri picked up a fallen branch nearby and threw…

- Haeri was half petrified, but Jeong Mok, unaware, suddenly began recounting an unbearably dark family history. “My father had a severe case of morbid jealousy. In contrast, my mother was too much of a free spirit. The funny thing is, the two had a love marriage. At the time it was unusual. On top of that, it was a marriage where the man was at a clear disadvantage, so my late grandfather fiercely opposed it. According to the Chairwoman, half the reason my grandfather passed away early was because of…

- It was just before he entered the underground parking lot after coming home. “I’ll go in after taking a short walk in the park.” It was something he said because it was too suffocating that the outing he had looked forward to ended in such a mess. He had no real expectation. Haeri thought Jeong Mok would say no. “Alright.” Sitting beside him, Jeong Mok readily agreed. It was unexpected. He was not bluffing. While driving, he told the bodyguard to stop, and he also instructed the…

- “Did the world ever pick a fight with you?” “Then do you think it didn’t?” “Ah.” The logic was strange, but it was convincing. From the moment Haeri was born, his life was full of obstacles. His troubled home environment and upbringing were enough on their own, but after struggling to grow up healthy, he then went through a murder case, amnesia, kidnapping, and assault, major incidents most people might never experience even once in their lives. If that wasn’t the world picking…
