      by Emerlyn — It wasn't long after that the child had brought me to the villa. The child, who had been taking care of my clothes and food and staying by my side this whole time, gradually showed a more familiar side. One of those things was occasionally confiding their innermost thoughts to me. ‘I don't actually live here.’ The child said they had come to the seaside for recuperation. This grand mansion was just a vacation home, and they would return home once they had fully recovered. That was the reason why…

      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 — Yuna's movements as she put the cigarette in her mouth were disturbingly natural. She ignited the lighter hidden inside the cigarette pack and took a deep drag, her cheeks hollowing out. Puffing out the smoke, a familiar scent that reminded me of Lingling's wafted through the air. "What? Is it ugly? Ugly, you say? The way you're talking..." The face that had been beaming with smiles just moments ago was now devoid of any laughter. Perhaps because her hair had become disheveled in the meantime, she…

      TIN 56 Cover
      by Emerlyn — I've had many opportunities to sell my body for sex so far. There were so many people who coaxed me to sleep with them that I could trip over them, and I didn’t have any ridiculous beliefs about protecting my chastity. If I had such a belief in the first place, I wouldn’t have kissed or done oral sex. Nevertheless, the reason why I hadn’t used both my front and back so far was because the instinctive aversion was greater than the benefits I would get from it. I had managed to survive without…

      TIN 92 Cover
      by Emerlyn — I remember the first moment I sensed pheromones. No, more precisely, the moment I realized it was pheromones. The day I learned that the warm scent emanating from the woman wasn't just a smell. "Why don't I have that scent?" "...Scent?" When I asked that, the woman looked at me with an unusually serious expression on her face. A hint of unease flickered across her eyes, blue as the vast sky. Her voice, too, carried the same hesitation as she asked me back. "Um, what scent?" "The nice…

      TIN 40 Cover
      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…

      TIN 71 Cover
      by Emerlyn — I couldn't pour out my resentment. Every time that thought came to mind, I would inevitably wake up. Unlike the dream where I was with someone, the solitude that greeted me in reality was nearly unbearable this time. So, in the early dawn hours when I could no longer sleep, I habitually went downstairs to find the painting on the wall. Toward the cherished memories of the sea at sunset, a warm and cozy scenery that was once as ordinary as daily life in my childhood, where only the sound of crashing…

      TIN 50 Cover
      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…
