“…I’m not going to. And I don’t want to go abroad either. You’re the one who should leave.” The backlash surged in response to being cornered unilaterally. Fleeing the country or having sex. Those were the only two options? It was absurd. But at the same time, a sliver of desire for sex pushed its way to the surface. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to leave Korea. It was pure attraction to the pheromones that Baek Mugyeong was emitting. Admitting that, however, bruised my pride. I…- 281.3 K • Completed
- “You need to know whether Baek Yeongseop is using you.” “Using me how?” “Are you really that clueless? You’ve been passing my information to Baek Yeongseop.” “What information? I don’t even know anything about you. And it’s true that you want to go back to the US. If Vice President Baek Jaehan knows that, he won’t try to keep you in check anymore. Isn’t that what you wanted?” Angrily, I fired back with everything on my mind at Baek Mugyeong’s nonsense. I didn’t…

- “You little shit. Look at you, acting up the moment I go easy on you.” “See? He shows his true colors right away. And they want me to marry him? I’m out.” Choi Jaeha spat out all his words in a rush and tried to pull me away, but Baek Yeongseop snatched me from his grip. “Hold on. I’ve got something to say to him.” “Oh, what now.” “This is a family matter. You should back off unless you wanna lose it and piss yourself on the floor. Shut your mouth.” Baek Yeongseop…

- I wanted to say no, but I had a bad feeling. And that feeling turned out to be right. “Do we really have to go?” “My grandma asked me to.” I couldn’t say that my aunt, who’s supposedly working as an artist in the US, had a piece displayed at Geumpalang Museum. It wasn’t just because I’d fought with Baek Mugyeong recently. Something about it made me feel I should keep it secret. “It takes about an hour to get to Geumpalang from here. Let’s meet there.” “You’re…

- Baek Mugyeong remained as busy as ever. He left for work before I even woke up and came home late at night, so I never got to see his face. While I was still struggling to find the right moment to apologize, Jeong Guhyeon’s departure for the US was suddenly finalized. My biological father understood that he needed to lie low, but it seemed my stepmother couldn’t accept that. She called me several times. I deliberately didn’t answer. Eventually, the stepmother came all the way to my…

- If it’s anything like Jeong Guhyeon’s personality, he’d easily do the same thing in America. So the best way to get through to my sharp-witted biological father was to emphasize the risk that lay ahead. No matter how precious the eldest son might be, we had to avoid drawing Baek Jinseok’s ire and risking problems for the business. It looked like he was only just realizing that now. His angry expression froze in an instant. “Father. The chairman is a terrifying man.” Before the…

- “You!” My biological father shouted, his face twisted as if he’d just been betrayed. But maybe because we were in front of Baek Jinseok, he couldn’t bring himself to say more. “Chairman Jeong. Do I have to repeat myself? Sit down.” Baek Jinseok didn’t give him any leeway. As the atmosphere turned cold, my father finally stood up from his seat. He sat to Baek Jinseok’s left, while Baek Mugyeong and I sat on his right. I didn’t want to face my father directly, so I had Baek…

- Kim Jaewon and Jo Seontae were criminals who would do anything as long as they were paid. They were especially notorious for filming sexual assaults to blackmail victims for money. They claimed they didn’t know who had hired them, only that they’d received my name, photo, and address from a private detective agency director and had followed me around for over a week. My routine was fairly simple: home, school, and cram school. Since I moved around by car and always went to crowded places with…

- Groaning, I dragged myself out of bed. I just wanted to sleep, but I couldn’t do that while still wearing a suit. “I wish someone would just wash me.” Grumbling to myself, I took a shower and changed clothes. While I was drying my hair, my stomach let out a loud growl. I hadn’t eaten much at my biological father’s birthday party, so I was starving. When I checked the time, dinner had long passed. Both the weekday and weekend housekeepers would’ve finished their work and gone home by…

- I was a little aroused by Baek Mugyeong’s pheromones, but as soon as I faced other people, I snapped out of it. I took a few deep breaths in the hallway before going back inside. The man, still standing in the living room with a cold expression, turned his gaze to me. “Jeong Minchae.” “That wasn’t exactly mild. Don’t you think you went too far?” I complained from a distance, keeping away from Baek Mugyeong. Sure, another Alpha’s pheromones could be bothersome, but there had to…
