Min Moonah is said to have had a brief acting career in the United States. After a series of minor roles, she met Chairman Kim, who would become a solid stepping stone for her, just when she was about to start over as an actress in Korea. Coincidentally, she became pregnant with Chairman Kim's child before she could even make her debut in Korea. While she was young and agonizing alone over whether to have an abortion or raise the child by herself, she met Gye Sookyeong. The tense atmosphere was as…- 124.1 K • Ongoing
- His gaze was like that too. It was a bored attitude, as if he already knew everything and had no more questions, yet it lacked any hint of magnanimity. Under that unwavering, direct gaze, Jaeri had nothing to say. His hyung already knew. He felt like he was being interrogated. Jaeri parted his lips to say something, even if it was meaningless, but his hyung’s sentence was handed down first. “You need a spanking, don’t you?” That languid and gentle voice again. He headed towards his…

- “You're an excellent doctor. If you weren't, I wouldn't have entrusted Jaeri to you.” — …Thank you, Kim Jungyoon. “The diagnosis of childhood depression will be a great help in his treatment.” The brief phone call ended. Sometimes, when he thought of her, he felt a feeling like looking at a faded photograph. This time, meeting and talking with her, and speaking on the phone, he would occasionally recall those times, but now the same memory was just crisp at the edges, like looking at a…

- "...Noona, I was wrong. I won't let my emotions get the better of me and act impolitely in the future." — Kim Jungyoon made you say that. You poor thing. "That's not it..." — What isn't? The former, or the latter? "...It just is." — Our youngest is so dispirited. Noona will have to give you a card. "..." "Kim Yoonjae." The man suddenly cut into the conversation. There was a moment of silence. Soon, Yoonjae answered in a deliberately brighter voice. — Huh? Oh, it was on…

- Seonyeong, thinking about what to ask for, couldn't think of anything he particularly wanted from Jaeri, so he asked to be treated to more meals. Jaeri's request was quite a bother and a risk for him as well. “Ah, no way. Not that.” “Why not? You have a lot of money.” “How am I supposed to meet you twenty times? I’d have to listen to your boring love life stories twenty times. Let’s make it fifteen.” “Alright.” Jaeri brought a calendar and began discussing with Seonyeong…

- In the Vice President's office, Jungyoon was receiving a report from Director Gu on the progress of the so-called 'YJ Project', designed to weaken Yoonjae. Seeing Director Gu's gaunt eyes, Jungyoon thought, He must have pulled another all-nighter. “Director Gu, I gave you the authority to hire people. Why are you doing all the work yourself?” “There are many things that I must handle personally,” Director Gu said, pushing up his glasses. “Don’t be so full of yourself. Hire people and…

- The three days passed by in a pale blur, as if diluted in water. During that time, Jaeri didn't even eat properly and was scolded once by Jungyoon. He was punished by having to stand with his hands raised for a full hour. The punishment only ended when his arms hurt so much that a tear welled up from the misery. For those three days, it was as if gaping holes were being punched in a corner of his heart, to the point he wondered if he had switched to a depressive state. Every time a hole appeared, if he…

- The room was dimly lit, illuminated by lamps placed here and there without any direct lighting. There were only five or six tables, and in front of them, plush sofas were arranged in a circle. Each seating area was partially concealed by a yellowish-painted concrete wall on one side. The concrete wall had a rectangular opening, as if it were a window, which did nothing for soundproofing but served faithfully as a psychological barrier. The music didn't cut across the space but seemed to embrace it,…

- What Jungyoon told him to remember was that alcohol was not allowed, but Jaeri forgot the truly important words and engraved only the command to remember. The combination of the word ‘remember’ and the phrase ‘permanent scar’ quite pleased him. Jaeri liked his hyung’s way. Don't look at or listen to anything else, just listen to me. Do only as I say. Doing as he said was easy. But come to think of it, there was no one who listened to his hyung’s words as well as he did, so he thought that…

- Jungyoon would easily give permission if there was no problem, and if something was not allowed, he would simply explain the reason and not permit it. Every time that happened, Jaeri would think, what was so difficult about this? Still, what was difficult remained difficult. Even after receiving his noona’s card, he felt more guilt than excitement at the widened range of choices. When there was something he really wanted to do, but for some reason, it was too hard to tell his hyung. He had thought he…
