CHAPTERS
She said something, and Baek Mugyeong quietly listened. “……” I almost told her to back off. Baek Mugyeong was someone who never let people he disliked get close. But right now he was being too kind, not like him. No, correction. Baek Mugyeong was being polite, the same as usual. I did not like that. “Don’t you get jealous?” “What?” “Never mind. You still don’t get it. You saw it too, right? Mugyeong-hyung is really popular. A face like his is really rare. If he looks…- 281.3 K • Completed
- I held back from looking around to see where Baek Jaehan was. The conversation just now reaching Baek Jaehan’s ears was only a matter of time. The people who heard Baek Jinseok’s bombshell remark all started chattering. They told Baek Mugyeong to hurry and give the chairman a great-grandson, to hurry and get the gifts, and to work hard at night, showering him with encouragement and advice. I could not say here that we had decided not to have children. Baek Mugyeong seemed the same, he did not say…

- The family room had only the two of us. Because it was far from the kitchen, the view was blocked. But my heart raced like I was doing something bad. It had not been long since I started truly getting to know Baek Mugyeong. Compared to the early days of marriage, the change was dramatic, like heaven and earth. The atmosphere between us had shifted. This was much better than watching each other’s moods, being wary, and sharpening words. Even so, when he suddenly closed the distance like now, I was…

- I accepted the mug full of cocoa and headed to the second living room tucked in a corner on the first floor. Unlike the large living room meant for receiving guests, the space called the family room was small. The interior was also relatively cozy. I sat in the corner of the sofa by the window with my knees drawn up and sipped the cocoa. As the warm, sweet cocoa went down, my head, which had felt foggy and heavy, slowly started to turn again. Nightmares came without warning. When I felt gloomy after…

- If the truth was examined, Kim Juhyeon’s lie would be exposed, but that would make things too noisy. I wanted to handle it as quietly as possible, like what was common in a chaebol family. I didn’t care if people said I couldn’t manage my subordinates. But I didn’t want to see or suffer Baek Jaehan or Im Songyoon picking a fight using that as a pretext. The best method was to leave it to Baek Mugyeong. Unlike me, who had no real voice because of an arranged marriage, Baek Mugyeong had…

- Whether Baek Mugyeong was watching or not, I practiced with the soccer ball. More trapping and lifting than dribbling. I bounced the ball using my head, shoulder, chest, thigh, instep, inside of the foot, and side of the foot. It was something I used to do every day, but after a break, my skills had rusted. The ball flew off in unintended directions several times. Part of it was because I was nervous under Baek Mugyeong’s gaze. But as my body gradually loosened, my old skill began to show little by…

- The nonsense from my biological father went on, and the symptoms grew worse. Headache, chest tightness, and pounding heart hit me, and sweat gathered on my palms resting on my knees. After I started making big money, my biological father was no longer frightening. I let pass him absurd scolding and criticism. Even facing Jeong Guhyeon was bearable. But every so often, an unbearable wave of disgust hit me. Especially today, hearing his voice and being in the same place with him felt maddeningly…

- It was my first time being in a mutual fling. Maybe because of that, unexpected things kept happening. On the way to meet my biological father after class, I sent a message to Baek Mugyeong. Since he had left for work early in the morning, I hadn’t been able to tell him today’s schedule. Right as I sent the message and got into the car, his name lit up on the vibrating phone screen. “Hello?” I answered, wondering what it was about. -Jeong Minchae-ssi. “Yes.” -Are you…

- A little earlier, when he got closer, Jeong Minchae even stepped back. Baek Mugyeong, who noticed it all, asked just in case. Then Jeong Minchae’s expression changed. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his cheeks puffed up a little. His pretty face overflowed with dissatisfaction. It looked so cute that he had to held back his laughter. “I cursed you, Baek Mugyeong-ssi. I said you’re unlucky.” “Is it because of the knotting?” As if that was the right answer, Jeong Minchae’s…

- “You catch on fast. Though maybe a little late, considering Father’s age. But it doesn’t seem like he plans to hand everything to eldest brother. Don’t you think so too?” “Do you mean to claim the top position yourself?” Instead of agreeing, Baek Mugyeong returned the question. At that, Baek Sujin’s eyes widened, then she smiled. “You’re just going to ask me outright? Bold, aren’t you? Well, of course I want to sit in the highest seat. I was born the child of Baek Jinseok,…
