      TIN 25 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The sense of crisis was different from when I had hit Wang Wei. No matter how desperate I must’ve been, I felt like I had picked the wrong target this time. However, the anger that overcame my fear was even more intense. As my breathing returned to normal, the cold numbness in my head started to heat up in an entirely different way. "...Then you should have just left me to drown." Capricious brat. If you were going to kill me, you should have done it properly. Or at least pulled me out of the…

      TIN 24 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." My mind went completely blank. It felt as if time had stopped, and I couldn't sense anything at all—not the gaze looking down on me, not the voice I had just heard, not even the water touching my body. "What do you..." "I've felt something was off from the beginning." I managed to open my mouth, but couldn't finish the sentence. Joo Do-hwa spoke softly as if I had used informal speech with him all along. "You're too pretty to be a Beta." I had heard that line countless times, but…

      TIN 28 Cover
      by Emerlyn — It didn't take long to realize the meaning behind Joo Do-hwa saying he needs his brother. As soon as it was time for the next meal, a woman came to the house. Accompanied by bodyguards, the woman entered the house and her eyes opened as wide as saucers when she saw me standing next to Joo Do-hwa. "Huh?" Her unusual, murky eyes had a faint bluish tinge. It was so pale that you'd miss it if you didn't look close enough, but the implication was clear right from the start. "Hello." She was an…

      TIN 26 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The child said that the child's mother died while giving birth. The child conveyed this tragic past with no trace of sadness on their face, simply shrugging it off. As I was wondering what the child was thinking with that blank stare on their face, the child added in an awkward tone, "My dad is still alive." It had been a few days since the child had told me that. A strange adult invaded the private space I shared with the child. Logan called him the Vice President, and the child called him…

      TIN 23 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "Did you do that on purpose?" I couldn't answer the sudden question. He genuinely seemed upset. All I did was go swimming when he told me to, so what exactly did I do wrong? Technically, I was just floating, but still. "What exactly am I doing on purpose?" "You..." Joo Do-hwa moved his lips, but no sound came out of his mouth. It seemed like he was struggling to find the right words. Joo Do-hwa took a deep breath and spoke in a gritty tone. "I told you to swim, not drown yourself." The…

      TIN 22 Cover
      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…

      TIN 20 Cover
      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…

      TIN 21 Cover
      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…
