      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 — "..." Chairman Joo. I couldn't voice the name that came to mind. I had a feeling that the moment I said it out loud, I would have to face a terrible truth. Joo Do-hwa's father, who had said Yoon Ji-soo was his first love. That man I never wanted to meet again, could he really have been Yoon Ji-soo's fiancé? "...Why are you telling me all of this?" Amidst my confused thoughts, that question arose first. He had asked what I would do if he told me, yet he was freely sharing information about Yoon…

      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 — Leaving only those words, Henry left the room, abandoning me. Now alone in the room, I looked around while touching my wet hair. There wasn't anything else for me to do, and sitting on the bed felt strangely embarrassing. Even knowing that it was futile, I aimlessly wandered to the window. This room was on the second floor, so jumping wouldn't kill me, but I wasn't confident I could safely get out of the mansion that way. Furthermore, I had left the money Joo Do-hwa recovered in my room, so there was…

      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 32 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "..." It felt like my solar plexus was being squeezed tightly. That one sentence sounded chillingly ominous. The barely concealed hostility seeped through the calm voice. "There are some suspects, but no hard evidence, so that's why." For a six-year-old child to have thought that far was immensely impressive. Or perhaps the suspicion had slowly blossomed as they grew up. After mulling over and remembering the "hyung's" death, there would have been only one person all the circumstantial evidence…

      by Emerlyn — "Argh!" A terrible cracking sound, enough to make one want to cover their ears, was suddenly heard. The grotesque noise of bones being crushed, mixed with Wang Wei's screams, was even more threatening. It was a frightening sight that made onlookers flinch, but Joo Do-hwa moved his hand without even blinking. "Shit, you're not letting go? Ugh...!" Wang Wei struggled in panic, but it wasn't enough to push him away. Just as I couldn't overcome Joo Do-hwa's strength when my collar was being grabbed,…

      TIN 10 Cover
      by Emerlyn — "...Hyung?" I couldn't help but repeat him, especially since Joo Do-hwa was nodding as if he had done me a great favor. "In return, you'll speak informally to me. How's that?" "You want me to speak informally?" This was the most absurd condition yet. If I were to speak informally to Joo Do-hwa while he uses honorifics with me, I would be the one benefiting, not him. Of course, the content itself wasn't exactly something I was eager about either, but at least he wouldn't be gaining…
