      TIN 86 Cover
      by Emerlyn — It was an absurd accusation. Seducing a woman? If offering someone a seat counted as seduction, how rudely did he expect me to treat Lee Yuna? "I just made a suggestion. We can't keep her standing forever." "How kind of you." Why don't you try being kind yourself? The words rose to the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back. If he was going to be concerned about his fiancée, he should at least pretend to take care of her. Though Lee Yuna probably wouldn't want that anyway. "Since that's…

      TIN 85 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." I knew what he must be thinking. Due to habits ingrained in my body, I would instinctively shrink my shoulders whenever he touched me. It was a defense mechanism born from tension over what was to come. However, unfortunately, that wasn't the only reason this time. When his hand touched me right then, my stomach trembled. Ah, damn...why am I acting like this? Even though it was just the lightest brush, the part he touched felt hot. The reaction, which was subtly different from a fever,…

      TIN 84 Cover
      by Emerlyn — Noticing my condition, Joo Do-hwa suddenly reached out toward me. He brushed my forehead with his large hand, then smoothly moved his hand down to my cheek and stroked it there. "Are you sick somewhere?" "..." A sweet fragrance wafted over to me. I wasn't sure if it was the perfume I had sprayed on or Joo Do-hwa's pheromones. Feeling my hair stand on end for a moment there, I reflexively swatted his hand away. "...Ah." Honestly, I regretted it immediately. The moment I pushed him away, his…

      TIN 83 Cover
      by Emerlyn — For a while, the mansion was bustling with party preparations. Although Joo Do-hwa didn't do anything special, the number of busy employees running around had increased significantly. The mansion had more people than usual. It was a busier atmosphere than normal. Even though these changes didn't directly concern me, I couldn't help but be wary of the suddenly increased number of unfamiliar faces. Because of this, I tried not to leave my room during daylight hours. I wasn't one to wander around much…

      TIN 82 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." Why was I caught? For a moment, that thought crossed my mind. He had been treating me as 'hyung' for a while now, but this time it seemed truly sincere. He wasn't artificially acting kind as if intentionally putting up a front but was genuinely looking at me as if trying to confirm the truth. However, as soon as my head cooled down, I saw the faint expectation and self-deprecation underlying his demeanor. Though he was asking calmly, there was a hint of doubt in his slowly blinking eyes. As…

      TIN 81 Cover
      by Emerlyn — A chill ran up and down my spine. Not due to the shock factor of the content, but because Joo Do-hwa's expression was as casual as if he were talking about everyday matters. As if he wouldn't even blink at the death of others right before his eyes. "What on earth did they think that drug was...?" "..." I couldn't come up with a response. I couldn't ask why he did it and if it was because they were the ones who had drugged him first. Joo Do-hwa went on to say something similar. "It's funny,…

      TIN 80 Cover
      by Emerlyn — My mouth snapped shut. Due to my dazed state, I couldn't immediately comprehend what he had just said. He gazed steadily at my lips and added, "There's an anti-eavesdropping system in place in that room." It wasn't a strange thing to say. Such a system would naturally be operating in the Sae Group chairman's house. No, not just Chairman Joo's house, but right here in Joo Do-hwa's house as well. "If you overhear by mistake, you'll go deaf." He tapped his ear with his index finger. His blinking eyes…

      TIN 8 Cover
      by Emerlyn — The goods coming across the sea all pass through the hands of the 4HAE Group. Even the behind-the-scenes manipulations that have not yet been openly revealed would be well-known to those who are well-informed about that side's news. For that reason, Theo, who is standing in front of me, must also be aware of the manipulations. "'Even a country'...Does he have any self-awareness?" Theo let out a hollow laugh for a moment, as if finding it unbelievable. It seemed like he was asking if I understood how…
