KMH – Chapter 15
Come to think of it, there’d been signs even before. On the day the results of the placement exam—taken right after entrance—were posted, Jugyeong stared at the board for an unusually long time, even though she’d taken first place without contest. So Seju leaned his back against the outer frame of the bulletin board—green felt stretched tight over it—and watched her. He didn’t know why she was doing that, but chances to look at that precious face for so long weren’t exactly…-

KMH – Chapter 14
The atmosphere—on the verge of turning explosive—dissolved limply. Keen enough to sense the tension, Director Lim only softened her smile further, as if nothing were amiss. “Don’t tell me I barged in while you two were enjoying some private time—was I being tactless?” “Why are you saying things like that again, Director Lim?” Unlike Seju, who recoiled in open disgust, Jugyeong gathered up whatever affability she could muster and smiled sweetly. “I guess it’s been a while since I saw…-

KMH – Chapter 13
He wasn’t a man accustomed to being insulted. No one had ever dared to belittle Seju like this. If they had, they wouldn’t have escaped a miserable end. But… Jugyeong was still so small. Even now, it was hard to believe she could walk, supporting herself on those thin calves and feet barely larger than his fingernails. Seju stared off at a distant mountain that wasn’t there, swallowing the resentment rising in his throat. Only after a long while did he lower his gaze. “…Did I just…-

KMH – Chapter 12
Seju didn’t panic. Men weren’t supposed to get flustered over little things in the first place. So he laughed first. He laughed easily, his chest bouncing, then asked, “What?” “Let’s sleep together. Just once.” “…….” Seju slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again. He tilted his head, brows pinched like someone with water in their ears, then smacked the side of his head with his broad palm. Smack. Smack. Despite the meaty impact, Jugyeong didn’t even…-

KMH – Chapter 11
After finishing dessert, they all took a walk around Cheongwoljae. Jugyeong deliberately slowed her pace. Droplets flung up from the fountain brushed her cheeks again and again, but she didn’t mind. At the front, beside Grandfather, Director Im and her husband linked arms; at the rear, Seju sauntered leisurely. In late spring, blue moon wisteria was at its peak, spilling down in profusion to form an arched tunnel. Seju traced the long, trailing flower clusters with unhurried fingers as he…-

KMH – Chapter 10
A black sedan cut through the city, submerged in the night. Brilliant lights poured over Jukyeong’s face as she leaned her temple against the window. Looking back, she hadn’t always been afraid of being trapped somewhere. She’d only realized something was wrong with her—only become conscious of it—after she’d been stuck in the attic with Seju. And at the beginning of that fear was the memory of her staring blankly as her father’s coffin went into the cremation chamber. When the…-

KMH – Chapter 1
Ha Jugyeong—twenty-nine, a patent attorney who had always been everyone’s first love. She calmly sensed that today’s matchmaking, too, would end up a wash. After finishing a private viewing at a personal gallery near Dosan Park with her blind date, they moved on to a café. The coffee she’d ordered there had already gone cold. “These days, even dishwashing gets done by machines, don’t you think? Compared to the era our mothers lived in, women today really do have it easy.” Kwon…-

KMH – Chapter 7
The only one smiling innocently here was Kim Soon-woo. “Director-nim, this is Patent Attorney Ha Jugyeong. She’ll be assisting with today’s copyright consultation.” Introducing Jugyeong while looking at Seju, Kim Sunwoo turned to Jugyeong next. “Jugyeong, this is Art Director Cheon Seju, who trusted me enough to make the difficult trip here from Berlin.” Unlike when he was young, Seju didn’t avoid her gaze. He stayed languid throughout. In the heavy silence that had settled…-

ATTEW – Prologue
A blizzard-torn night always carries a vicious wind. Listening to the sound battering her bedroom window, the woman thought it resembled the noise made when a sharp-eyed bird of prey goes whoosh—cutting swiftly through the air. The woman hated winter, and she feared it. She always had. Winter was crueler to those who had nothing, and she had always been someone lacking—money, affection, whatever it might be. She had so little to begin with, and when winter came, she often lost even that. So…-
