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…-

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…-
