      by Emerlyn The swimming pool, located at the opposite end of the garden from the main entrance, turned out to be just as impressive in size as the mansion itself. The floor was paved with marble, and the entire remaining space filled with water. There was also a round jacuzzi for relaxing in the water, separate from the main pool. In addition to the sunbeds, there were large tables and sofas, making it suitable for hosting summer parties. The expansive scene looked so grand that I even found it intimidating as a…

      by Emerlyn "..." I already knew he didn't intend to harm me. In this type of atmosphere, I could tell he wouldn't suddenly resort to violence. And yet, for some reason, I couldn't help but think he was about to break my ankle. It was a completely unreasonable thought, especially with his face remaining so calm and peaceful. But the lingering sensation on my Achilles tendon, and the grip of his hand, gave me an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. "You're not that small or delicate." That was why I…

      by Emerlyn Regardless, he spoke softly, smiling at me. The way he gestured toward the entrance with one hand was almost overly courteous, like a true gentleman. He hadn't been excessively polite before, but there was something especially excessive about the way he was acting now. Joo Do-hwa's peculiar behavior continued even as we passed through the department store entrance. He didn't even acknowledge the greetings from the employees, focusing all his attention solely on me. Not only did he hold the door, but he…

      by Emerlyn "Why are you looking at me like that?" But I couldn't exactly ask him that. What would I say? ‘Do you know I'm that “hyung” from back then?’ He had already noticed, and was just pretending not to know, wasn’t he? "It's nothing." At least I didn't get shot. After witnessing such a scene, I couldn't easily bring up the topic. "I was just looking." No, the truth was it wasn’t just that. Honestly, it wouldn't be too difficult to prove I was the same person. There are many memories…

      TIN 18 Cover
      by Emerlyn This excuse about getting lost on the way never changed, did it? Perhaps Henry learned it from watching Joo Do-hwa. They both had a kind way of speaking, but the actual content wasn’t always very considerate. Thinking about this a little further, I noticed there was something off about the situation. "But why do you use honorifics with me?" When I was younger, he had addressed me bluntly. If he was going to treat me like that "brother" from before, he shouldn't be using honorifics. I thought it…

      TIN 17 Cover
      by Emerlyn It wasn't long after that the child had brought me to the villa. The child, who had been taking care of my clothes and food and staying by my side this whole time, gradually showed a more familiar side. One of those things was occasionally confiding their innermost thoughts to me. ‘I don't actually live here.’ The child said they had come to the seaside for recuperation. This grand mansion was just a vacation home, and they would return home once they had fully recovered. That was the reason why…

      TIN 16 Cover
      by Emerlyn Gasp! A strangled sound escaped the son as he choked and gasped for air. Before he could even let out a scream, he froze up, becoming as rigid as a board. The droplets of blood that burst from his father splattering across his pale skin like paint. "You should have known your limits." It was a shockingly gruesome sight. A crimson liquid sprayed wildly from behind the middle-aged man standing there. Beneath the limp body lay a pool of blood soaking into the pristine white marble. The talkative…

      by Emerlyn "...Hmm." Whether we know each other or not, his face was definitely familiar, but I couldn’t recall who he was. It seemed smarter to let him clarify things himself. As I mulled it over, the middle-aged man stepped forward. "Oh my, Director Joo, know him? Not at all.” The man laughed heartily, waving both hands dismissively. His overly genial expression only deepened the unsettling familiarity creeping over me. "’Know each other' is hardly appropriate. He’s just one of those… items…
