      by Emerlyn — "..." I silently turned to look at Kei. He was gazing at me with an unusually serious expression on his face. "You know what happened to the previous dolls Director Joo played with, right?" 'They all died.' Lee Yuna's words flashed through my mind. The ultimate fate that Kei, I, and perhaps everyone else knew. "If you keep holding out, you'll just die like a dog." It was a scathing assessment, but it was true. Either die by Joo Do-hwa's hand or by Chairman Joo's. That was why I had made…

      by Emerlyn — ‘What, you know it well.’ Kei replied with a disappointed face and let out a chuckle. Then suddenly, he turned to me with eyes wide open. His gaze was filled with astonishment. ‘Wait, don't tell me you…’ ‘Kei.’ I cut off his words and placed a whiskey glass on the table. Following what I learned at the shop, I set up the snacks and then opened the whiskey bottle, filling the ice-filled glass. The ice in the glass clinked, making a small noise. ‘Let me know before you stop…

      by Emerlyn — I first saw Kei when winter was approaching my eighteenth year. It was a time when I was looking for boxes to cover myself from the suddenly cold weather, and always carrying the money I had saved bit by bit because I had nowhere else to keep it. It was a time when I had the nerve to ignore a corpse discarded in a pile of trash, but also a time to be wary of sudden presences. 'Ugh...' The black mass that I had momentarily thought was a corpse groaned in pain, proving my assumption was wrong. Judging…

      by Emerlyn — "..." I instinctively hunched my shoulders. Both his voice and the content felt too ticklish. Being called pretty wasn't particularly embarrassing, but I still hadn't developed immunity to his breath next to my ear. "So hold your head up." His hand moved up my arm and gently massaged my nape. He seemed to think I was acting timidly out of intimidation, not realizing I had shrunk inward because of him. Or maybe he knew and was pretending not to as he fiddled with me. "The clothes suit you well…

      by Emerlyn — Where should I start correcting him? Shouldn't I say that the corpse was fake, so his father didn't actually kill me? No, saying that would probably lead to an even worse outcome. It was best to avoid that. "You don't even know why your father is looking for Yoon Ji-soo. What if she owes him money or something..." "I know." "...What?" His brief answer left me momentarily at a loss for words. Joo Do-hwa asserted without moving his face muscles, his expression still the same. "I said I know…

      by Emerlyn — It was a chilling statement that sent shivers up and down my spine. I couldn't even make excuses, saying I wasn't relieved or that it wasn't like that in the first place. "Usually by this point, people are desperate to get on my good side." His languid eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. It was a subtle change, but just enough to feel intimidating. "They flatter, cling, and do all sorts of crazy things..." "..." "But why don't you do that?" He tilted his head slightly as if he truly…

      by Emerlyn — After finishing my shower, I went downstairs without even drying my hair. I was worried that if I was too late, he might come looking for me in my room. Fortunately, aside from a slightly swollen throat, I felt fine and thought I could manage breakfast somehow. But when I got downstairs, Joo Do-hwa wasn't in the dining room. At first, I thought I had come down first, but seeing only one place set at the table, it was clear that there was just one serving prepared. On the spacious table that could seat…

      by Emerlyn — "..." As I took the sensitive skin into my lips, a unique, lewd scent wafted up and filled my senses. Surprisingly, the body odor mixed with the sweet pheromones wasn't too unpleasant. I felt relieved that I wasn't about to throw up and wrapped my tongue around his glans. "...Mmm." Joo Do-hwa's Adam's apple bobbed as I rubbed his bulging glans with my tongue. He seemed like he would be standing still throughout the act, but he was still a man, so he was reacting. Encouraged by that, I opened my…
