TE 18
A flower similar to the rose, the so-called queen of flowers, with its equally crimson petals, appeared simply beautiful to those who knew nothing of its true nature. Yet those who understood the flower's value would immediately calculate the numbers one could have upon selling, and those who knew its taste would salivate with anticipation. Bihwa Island, spanning 1,959 square kilometers - the largest island in South Korea - harbored a secret landscape of poppies. Unlike ornamental varieties, these…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

A heavy silence fell between them despite the man's polite greeting. It was understandable. Because of him, Seo-ha had been dragged to the disciplinary room and only released after re-education. And though she wasn't entirely sure, he must have suffered some consequences too. She no longer cared whether he got involved with Park Hee-jung or not. Even if they both ended up dead in plastic bags, it wouldn't be her responsibility. It would be the fault of people driven mad by their carnal…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

“You..., you like that so much?” Seo-ha bit her lower lip, she searched for the perfect insult to pull the man back into reality. Abruptly, a mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes as she feigned madness, running her tongue over her lips with deliberate slowness, silently daring him to go to hell. "Why take someone else's wife when you could do that kind of thing with any other decent woman?" Seo-ha asked innocently. Tae-beom's eyes narrowed like a snake when he heard the question. At…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

The moment of stunned hesitation was fleeting. Seo-ha hastily concealed the tablet beneath her pillow once more before inquiring about the identity of the person knocking at her door. Her father never ventured to the second floor, so at this hour, the only likely visitor was the housekeeper. Yet, strangely, no response came. Reluctantly overcoming her laziness, Seo-ha descended from her bed. She paused briefly before the mirror to tidy her disheveled hair, then opened the door. To her astonishment,…- 46.4 K • Ongoing

Chapter 1: Janus The king has brought me into his chambers. Draw me in and we will run after thee; Let us be glad and rejoice in thee; Let us remember thy love more than wine. It is fitting that the maidens should love thee. — Song of Solomon 1:4 Seo-ha had once heard the moans of a woman barely five years older than herself. The woman who played the role of mistress of the house—though legally unrelated to Seo-ha—was someone she awkwardly called "Auntie" for lack of a better…- 46.4 K • Ongoing
