「 ⩩ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 Iseul returns to take revenge on her ex-husband, Sunghoon, by making him fall for her again-only to shatter his heart in the process. But as revenge blurs with old feelings, will she choose vengeance or love? 」 ══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════ But before she could fully embrace the bittersweet memory, the sound of footsteps broke the stillness. Sunghoon's voice-sharp, almost venomous-cut through the night air. "Iseul," he said, his tone dark with something she couldn't quite place, but the way it lingered in the air made her spine stiffen. She turned to face him, a quiet shock on her face as he approached, his steps deliberate, purposeful. His eyes, once familiar, were now cold, distant, like someone who had been buried too long under layers of resentment. He shook his head slowly, almost as if disappointed, and his words hit her like a blow to the chest. "I know what you're doing. The dress, the perfume, the act. I'm not the naive Sunghoon you used to know." Her heart skipped, the subtle warmth she had felt earlier quickly turning to ice. She felt exposed, laid bare. His gaze was relentless, and his words-sharp, barbed-dug into the soft places she thought she had hidden so carefully. "Sunghoon," she whispered, but he wasn't done. He let out a bitter laugh, devoid of humor, and the sound felt wrong. It wasn't the kind of laugh she remembered, the one that filled the air with lightness. This one was a rasp, full of contempt. "I know exactly why you're here," he said, his voice thick with disdain. "It's because I own all of this now."

Kim Yunseo, a highschooler with dreams as soaring as the wide sky and a life shadowed by the decisions made by her dead father and resentment of her mother, is forced to tie knots with the country's rich, untouchable yet rascal future CEO, Park Jongseong. She has made it clear that the marriage is nothing more than an obligation, a mistake of her father that she's paying for. A choice that was never hers. But, what twists her fate more are those stolen glances, mistaken touches, unexpected laughters and a warmth- electrified, yet teasing- buzzing low under her skin every time she sees the man she's signed off to. "Why do you even care, Yunseo-ah?" He leans closer, eyes blazing down at me, mocking me. His warmth- solid, unyielding seeps in through our clothes. It's dizzying. His eyes tracing me, lips heaving warm breaths over mine, almost touching, his arms caging me- it's all making me feel dizzy, loose. Is it the alcohol? Or is it that woman getting too touchy with him? I don't know. I know nothing. I feel nothing, but a heat curling tight inside my chest, coiling its tentacles around my heart, squeezing something dangerous, something feral into my blood. 𝐵𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐼'𝑚 𝑗𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑠. I almost say that out loud. Almost. But, I don't. Instead, I step closer, the silk of his shirt grazing the exposed skin out of my dress. "She crossed a line, touched something she has no right over." The smirk that draws on his face is nothing but sinister, victory bleeding through the edges. He tilts his head, nose brushing mine, eyes dropping on my lips as he whispers through that annoying smirk of his. "So, do you have a right over me?" "Yes." A pause. A hitch in breath. "Every right, morally or not. You're mine. Fucking mine." I yank him down by his collar, lips colliding, teeth clashing, tongues shoving as I seal my claim on him.

「 ⩩ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 Hana, a doctor who saves lives, is forced into the arms of Heeseung, a merciless mafia hitman who takes them. When their worlds collide, blood and fate intertwine. Yet fate is cruel, and now she stands in front of him-a beauty in the hands of a beast, a healer trapped with a killer. 」 ══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════ "Do you want to live?" His voice was almost a whisper now, dangerous, loaded with the weight of the question. Hana's throat felt tight, every word a struggle to force out. "I... I do..." she breathed, the words barely escaping her lips. The cold metal against her skin was the only thing she could focus on, and it was the only thing that was keeping her from losing herself completely. But she didn't give in. Not yet. Heeseung didn't move for a long time, his eyes never leaving her face. He didn't lower the gun, but his hand didn't shake, his resolve unwavering. "If you want to live," he murmured, his voice low and almost distant, "then you'll have to prove it to me, doctor." Her pulse raced, but she nodded, her gaze steady. "I'll do whatever it takes." Then, without warning, he moved toward her. His voice, low and velvety, broke the silence, his words cutting through the tension like a blade. "Then marry me."
