CHAPTERS
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…- 281.3 K • Completed
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…- 281.3 K • Completed
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…- 281.3 K • Completed
At Baek Mugyeong’s cold refusal, I drew in a short breath. Divorce would be to his advantage, yet I couldn’t understand why he claimed not to need it. I wanted to ask if he had some reason, but I held back. Thanks to starting work a bit early in life, I had developed a decent sense of reading the room. From convenience store part-timer to factory worker, I had met all sorts of people. The man in front of me belonged to a particularly difficult type. If I clung to him now, it would only take a…- 281.3 K • Completed
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…- 281.3 K • Completed
“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,…- 281.3 K • Completed
Even as I reflexively accepted his hot tongue, I wondered if this was really okay. It was absurd, ridiculous, and somehow even unfair, but it was also exciting. I did not feel like kicking Baek Mugyeong away. I wrapped my arms around Baek Mugyeong’s neck, thinking I really must be crazy about sex. My mind began to drift off. * It was raining. The cherry blossoms had long since fallen. Trees now clothed in green leaves drooped their heavy branches under the morning rain. Baek Mugyeong…- 281.3 K • Completed
Baek Mugyeong thrust his hips up and I couldn’t even finish my words. It wasn’t a big movement. But the shock of him striking deep inside made me shudder again. If he hadn’t been holding my waist I would have collapsed forward. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” I barely caught my breath and grabbed his arm as I asked. There had to be a reason for changing positions. More than anything, it was clear how much Baek Mugyeong was enjoying it. Normally expressionless, during sex…- 281.3 K • Completed
“Understood. Let’s eat.” Only then did Baek Mugyeong pick up his chopsticks. Since it didn’t feel like he would argue further, I also began eating the jjampong. As expected, the spicy jjampong’s taste made me feel refreshed. Halfway through the bowl, something suddenly occurred to me. “I have a question.” “Yes.” “What food do you like? Let’s go eat that next time.” I felt guilty for making him eat something he didn’t like, so I wanted to make it up to him. He had…- 281.3 K • Completed
‘Baek Mugyeong has feelings for you.’ Choi Jaeha’s claim had left a big impact. It was a mistake to just shrug it off, thinking it would be fine. While waiting for Baek Mugyeong to arrive at the Chinese restaurant, my head started to get crowded with thoughts again. Could it be true? Probably not. He said the thing about going to America together wasn’t serious. More than anything, why would he like me? Aside from us being compatible in bed, there’s nothing. It’s not like I have a good…- 281.3 K • Completed
