      by Emerlyn — ...Turn the car back? "This isn't some kind of dog training..." Their muttered words didn't make any sense to me. Neither did their tired comments about whether we'd make it to the harbor that day. Even in my dazed state of mind, I could still hear their conversation. "What can we do? When the higher-ups say go, we go." "Good grief." I didn't need to hear who they meant by "higher-ups", it was obvious. The person who sent this truck to the harbor. The owner of the mansion I escaped from and…

      TIN 106 Cover
      by Emerlyn — I had been constantly plotting ways to escape the mansion. The first thing I did after arriving here was to figure out the CCTV layout, that really says it all. It was partly due to habitual behavior. Even if I couldn't completely hide my movements, I needed places to hide in case of an emergency. Unfortunately, there weren't any real blind spots, but at least I was relieved to learn they didn't monitor inside the rooms. Thanks to that, I could hide money under the mattress without anyone knowing any…

      by Emerlyn — "...You're saying there were no drugs in the water." The words that came out like a sigh were filled with disbelief. In fact, not only Joo Do-hwa but Henry was also puzzled. On the day of the party, Henry had watched everything that happened on the side. The man suddenly collapsing, Joo Do-hwa holding him with an expression cold enough to kill someone, the man later begging him not to call a doctor, and even the changes that occurred in the room while they were briefly away. 'Don't let anyone come…

      by Emerlyn — "Yes, a little bit." Even to what could have been a teasing question, the man answered compliantly. He blinked, closing and opening his eyes, and quietly leaned his face into Joo Do-hwa's hand. Even from where Henry stood at a distance, the delicate curve above the thin eyelids was truly elegant. Perhaps that was why. Joo Do-hwa, who remained unmoved even by Lee Yuna whom others claimed was crazy beautiful, would occasionally admire that man's face as if in wonder. His beast-like sharp eyes would…

      TIN 103 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Inside the spacious room, two men stood facing each other, engaged in conversation as usual. Both wore suits, but their appearances were subtly different. One was neatly dressed in a tie and vest, holding a tablet PC, while the other looked less formal with a couple of shirt buttons undone. "Only kids go to parties like that." Henry didn't respond to the casually dressed man's comment. He just looked at his master with his usual stoic expression. The man, wearing an infinitely bored facial…

      TIN 102 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." The drowsiness vanished instantly as if washed away. Though I had laid down, my neck and shoulders remained tense. Through my suddenly darkened vision, I heard him whisper gently. "Lie down comfortably. Relax." How could that be possible? How can I lie comfortably when I'm not even comfortable? How can I sleep on your lap? Such words rose to the tip of my tongue, but there was no way I could voice such thoughts. He had begun to gently stroke my hair with the hand that had covered my eyes.…

      TIN 101 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The next morning.  From early dawn, several large trucks arrived in the garden. They seemed to be transporting items received at the party, and the mansion was bustling with all sorts of activity. Boxes large enough to fit people moved constantly in and out of the mansion. My condition couldn't have been better. Thanks to kissing Joo Do-hwa, the suppressant's side effects had vanished completely. If anything, I felt better than usual, as if I'd never been sick in the first place. "You really…

      TIN 100 Cover
      by Emerlyn — I didn't think he’d make me wear the shirt for no reason. Though this was all just playing with dolls, he surely hadn't gone so far as to actually dress me up. Especially not in buttoned clothes rather than just a T-shirt. "Ah..." Lee Yuna sighed deeply and hung her head. She covered her face with both hands and breathed heavily for a while. Previously I might have thought she was crying, but now I knew she wasn't that type of person. "...How boring." As expected, her voice came out…
