Hello, readers! It feels incredible to be back, and I'm thrilled to announce that the first chapter of my brand-new story, "The Painted Smile," is officially out now!
What's it about?
Yoon Jeonghan moved to the tranquil, ancient city of Gyeongju to build a tidy, predictable fortress against the chaos of his past. All he wants is quiet stability for himself and his young son, Dino.
But peace is shattered when he takes Dino to the town plaza to see the infamous street performer, the clown S.coups. Beneath the painted grin lies a predatory intensity and an immediate, all-consuming obsession.
When Jeonghan's desperate need for order collides with S.coups's dark, absolute desire for possession, the line between protection and peril blurs forever.
Is the terrifying clown the ultimate danger, or the dark fulfillment of the passion Jeonghan has always suppressed?
Thank you all for waiting. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one!
