KMH – Chapter 22
At lunchtime, Team Leader Han Yeji followed Jugyeong all the way into the pantry. As Jugyeong filled her tumbler with hot water, she asked, “Not eating?” “Waiting for Junho. There’s a new bean sprout hangover soup place near the courthouse—heard it’s pretty good.” Han Yeji’s husband, Lee Junho, worked as an administrative officer at the Seoul High Court. Unless something urgent came up, the couple usually ate lunch together. “I see,” Jugyeong nodded. Han Yeji studied her…-

KMH – Chapter 21
“Vasectomy is a procedure that permanently blocks the vas deferens for contraception.” He had undergone an STD test along with his consultation for the vasectomy last week. The result: No abnormal findings. Which, of course, had been expected from the start. …Though, admittedly, thanks to Ha Jugyeong, his dick’s market value had briefly dropped to pocket change. Arms crossed, Seju looked down at the test results with quiet satisfaction before finally glancing up at the…-

KMH – Chapter 20
Jugyeong began drafting the contract. At first, she’d been flustered, unsure how to even start—but as time passed, she found herself oddly absorbed in the process. It wouldn’t have legal force, of course, but with every clause she added, a strange sense of calm returned. Like the moment at the peak of a roller coaster—heart clenched, waiting to plummet—when, out of nowhere, safety bars descend one by one and lock you firmly in place. Even if there were an unavoidable crash, at least the…-

KMH – Chapter 2
…Is this guy insane? “Ah.” Jugyeong closed her eyes, swallowing an irritated groan. Right now, she needed to rein in the impulse flaring up inside her. She desperately wanted to ask whether he was drunk—or genuinely out of his mind. Her hand rummaged through her handbag for a stress ball out of habit, then froze. ‘What if the counselor’s advice was just a metaphor?’ Jugyeong knew how stress balls worked. She’d looked it up herself before buying one. Repeating the motion of…-

KMH – Chapter 19
Jukyeong headed to the smoking area with Seju. It was one of the few spots with relatively little foot traffic. First, she sent a stiff, old-fashioned message to her blind date partner: Then she agonized over how to explain today’s events to Manager Moon back at the main house. Jugyeong blinked tiredly. “……” At some point, Seju had started locking eyes one by one with the smokers lingering there. The intensity of his glare made them flinch; one by one, they stubbed out their…-

KMH – Chapter 18
When someone treats you like you’re less than shit, there’s a limit to how long you can swallow it. Vrooom— The low chassis trembled as the engine spat out a rough growl. Seju slammed the accelerator as if he meant to ram straight through, shooting out of the parking exit. The scenery beyond the windshield blurred and flipped in rapid succession. Soon after, bzzz— his phone vibrated. His mother. He was at a red light. His chest rose shallowly as he swiped and put her on…-

KMH – Chapter 17
“Are you going to pick them up after so long?” —” No, it’s fine. President Cheon said he’d…” President Cheon was going to escort her to the hotel himself. After hanging up, Seju tilted his head far to one side. It seemed his father still saw his mother—who had carried him to term with resolute determination—as a child left standing at the edge of water. Is it really that good? Whenever President Cheon stood in front of Director Im, he turned into a dignified boy; whenever…-

KMH – Chapter 16
Jugyeong turned her head over her shoulder to add one last thing, then faced forward again. Seju felt the pulse slam hard against the inside of his wrist. He felt it flutter beneath his ear, too. He also saw it—how the tension had drained from Jugyeong’s pale, prominent hand only at the moment she’d said congratulations. Seju stumbled closer and came to stand beside her. He didn’t have a plan. He was just dying with regret that she’d turned away too quickly for him to properly see her face. He…-

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…-
