CHAPTERS
Baek Mugyeong appeared right before six. “You came?” I happily went out to the entrance to greet him. I was worried that he might be tired because he had flown to Los Angeles for eleven hours and had come here without resting for even a few hours. But when I saw Baek Mugyeong get out of the car, I was speechless. Baek Mugyeong shone as if things like jet lag or a long flight meant nothing to him. The suit, coat, and scarf that fit his body perfectly made him look as if he had just stepped…- 281.3 K • Completed
- On the way home, Baek Mugyeong held the steering wheel himself, and he did not feel pleased by the sweet revenge. Instead, he calmly thought about what to do next. Baek Jinseok had the power to meet even the president with a single phone call. Many lawyers had received scholarships from the Daesong Group. He had more than enough wealth to hire an attorney from the best law firm in Korea. Controlling the media was easier than twisting a child’s arm. Even though Baek Yeongseop’s crime video had…

- The area around Baek Jinseok was as crowded as always. Baek Jaehan and Im Songyoon stayed by Baek Jinseok’s side. Baek Sujin and her eldest son sat with them. Finally, Baek Yeongseop also wandered around the banquet hall. He had caused a scandal last spring and was sent away to Tongyeong, but he still showed his face at family events from time to time. Baek Mugyeong scanned the hall and found reporters scattered everywhere. The annual charity concert wasn’t major news. But they invited a couple…

- Unfortunately, it was hard to reach Jeong Minchae that afternoon because there was a special schedule. Baek Mugyeong was about to send a message saying he had another appointment, but he pressed the call button instead. After a few rings, Jeong Minchae answered with a bright voice. – Mugyeong-ssi? “Can you talk now?” – Yes. “Three o’clock doesn’t work. I have another appointment. Let’s talk now.” – Really? Alright. Hold on a second. He immediately sent video call…

- Baek Mugyeong agreed readily. The two of us put our heads together and found a suitable time quickly. Seoul and Los Angeles have a sixteen-hour time difference, so there were only a few hours when we could talk comfortably. Baek Mugyeong decided to try during his lunch, and I decided to try around my dinner time; then we would coordinate. I gave him my private Inbyeol (instagram) account. I still posted only food photos and landscape photos there, but that account was the easiest way to let…

- I lost consciousness many times after having sex with Baek Mugyeong. Sometimes it felt so good that my mind went blank, and sometimes I threw myself at him like an animal and collapsed in exhaustion at the end. But it was the first time I opened my eyes and saw Baek Mugyeong lying naked beside me. My eyes were swollen from crying too much, and through my sore, blurry vision, I saw Baek Mugyeong asleep. We lay on our sides under the same blanket, facing each other. Because of that, I could see his…

- I felt as giddy as a child who would go on a picnic the next day. I fell asleep while I thought about what I would do when I met Baek Mugyeong tomorrow and what clothes I should wear. But waking up didn’t go smoothly. I opened my eyes as I felt the heat pressing down on me. Sunlight leaked under the tightly closed curtains, so it was certain that it was already morning. Yet my body felt heavy in a strange way. “Ah…” A groan slipped out between my parched lips. I know what this is…

- If I could follow my heart, I wanted to take Baek Mugyeong somewhere we could be alone. But since Aunt Soyeon was waiting, I said goodbye to him and promised to meet later. I didn’t go straight back to the hotel. This time, Aunt Soyeon and Baek Mugyeong had a serious talk without me. Their conversation wasn’t long. They whispered quietly and then shook hands. Even though they stood quite far apart, I could tell the mood between them was warm. That was how I parted ways with Baek Mugyeong and…

- The police were very polite, maybe because the lawyer belonged to a famous law firm. They said there were often requests these days to get someone addicted to drugs out of dislike. They said Lee Gyuseong knew what he was doing, but he’d deny it to the end. They said that was how he’d get a lighter sentence. The drug in the syringe was heroin. It was a powerful drug, but the lawyer Baek Mugyeong called told me I wouldn’t get a prison sentence since I wasn’t the direct victim. I could guess who…

- But then Baek Mugyeong had a serious face. He looked like he didn’t believe what I said. Right then, the coffee we ordered came. Neither of us paid attention to the cups on the table. When the waiter left, Baek Mugyeong opened his mouth. “Are you angry at me?” It wasn’t that he doubted my words, he just seemed confused by what I was doing. The conversation that had once gone off track returned to its place. I thought for a moment about how I should answer. Before Baek Mugyeong contacted…
