ANMELDENNovember 2nd, 7:00 AM in the early morning before dawn even broke.
Looking at Ga Gye-yeong who appeared right before his eyes, LF smoothly raised the corners of his lips. It was an intriguing smile that simply wouldn't stop.
To enter another's sanctuary so impolitely without a prior appointment at a time when the sun had barely risen, let alone breakfast.
‘This man really doesn't give a moment to be bored.’
LF once again fully realized the value of Hyeo
Gye-yeong opened his heavily sunken eyes and stared blankly at the space beside the bed.Though it was clearly not a dream, only a cold chill hovered at his fingertips sweeping down the spot where warmth should remain.‘Hyeon-sin... went away.’He quietly reflected on yesterday's memories.The way she repeatedly offered him strong whisky with anxious demeanor as if chased by something, her actions of dressing up and acting unusually affectionate saying she would sleep first.When he came to realize the fact that she escaped his embrace in the end to keep the cruel promise of midnight, Gye-yeong's chest twisted complexly.He got up from his seat and headed to the bathroom. Even while understanding with his head that her situation was by no means free, he had no way around the feelings blooming resentfully.He tried hard to compose his emotions roughly while washing his face with cold water, but the surging ang
Now only three remained in this giant underground arena: Hyeon-sin, LF, and Hermann.The ripple effect of the promise to distance herself from Gye-yeong and not meet him anymore seemed quite large.It was a relief that all the Numbers were able to return to rest, and LF's anger could also be quelled.“Then shall we go on our date right away tomorrow?”“...Yes, if that is what you wish, Senior.”Because Hyeon-sin was willing to do anything right now, she nodded her head without a single thread of hesitation.As if satisfied with her immediate obedience, LF rose from his seat. His cool gaze soon directed toward Hermann standing beside him.“Hermann, have the helicopter on standby as soon as day breaks. Return all the rest to Shanghai.”“Sigh, understood, understood.”Hermann shook his head with a face whose tight tension finally loosened. Even so, he looked back and forth at LF and Hyeon-sin with eyes of surp
Hyeon-sin opened the door after leaving the bedroom to return to LF as quickly as possible.‘It crossed 12 o'clock!’To think the day she broke her promise happened to be today. Because it was self-evident that LF's nerves would be extremely sharp past midnight, her heart tightened.As soon as she left the guest room door, Gye-yeong's top elite bodyguards filling the hallway stood in her way with a fierce aura. However, Hyeon-sin had to exit this hotel even if it meant using physical force. Because she knew better than anyone what cruel price the other Numbers would have to pay at LF's hands if she failed to keep her promise on time.At that touch-and-go moment, Manager Ma, standing over there, approached Hyeon-sin with fast steps.“I have to return right this instant! Please let me go!”“Understood, Lady Hyeon-sin. I will help.”At Manager Ma's attitude of addressing her respectfully
11:00 PMHyojin, who successfully finished her performance and visited E Hotel, found LF sitting by the window of a discreet cafe located on one side of the lobby.“My goodness, to think there's a day like this in my life. Did you come out to greet me? Did you change?”“No way. A person doesn't change that easily.”LF, dressed without disarray in a black Glen plaid winter suit, slowly lifted his coffee cup. Today as well, he was terribly charming, and thus looked as dangerous as an elegant poison.As LF gestured lightly, the waiter brought out luxury desserts, including champagne, in orderly fashion.“My goodness, filling it up with only things I like. You know how to handle a woman's heart too well.”“I have no interest in other women.”He formed a smile so handsome it was cruel as he touched his glass. Hyojin also blinked her eyes as if probing his inner thoughts with a beaming
Hyeon-sin felt her entire soul helpless flowing into Gye-yeong's massive body right now, experiencing a faint world of selflessness for the first time in her life.Every minute and every second, passing time could not be more wasteful or affectionate. Though all senses were fresh and unfamiliar to Hyeon-sin, at the same time, it was a precious experience that made her heart tingle.Even when Gye-yeong was neatly dressed in a suit, she knew his physique was sleek and grand, but his body faced without a single thread on surpassed Hyeon-sin's imagination and was robust. The framework of muscles set firm like steel exuded an agent's unique wildness exceeding the limits of ordinary humans.Unlike his clean, sculpturally handsome face, rough scars were engraved like wild medals on his sturdy chest and shoulder blades as if proving traces of a fierce past war, creating a strange visual impact.Hyeon-sin recalled the memory of LF's cruel kiss, who t
As they stepped outside the hotel, the refreshing wind of the deepening autumn night softly blew through their hair.Until the moment they boarded the sedan Manager Ma surreptitiously prepared on standby, their eyes did not pull away from each other even for a single moment. Gye-yeong led her hand soundlessly, as if to show Hyeon-sin a more dazzling world and engrave an even more eternal memory.The place they eventually arrived at was the Golden Reel Ferris wheel, where one could overlook the glamorous scenery of Macao from the highest point.As the shadow of the giant structure crossed the night sky, the cable car the two were riding began to slowly distance itself from the ground.As the altitude rose, the ground lights shrank like distant jewel fragments, and inside the transparent space walled with glass all around, a secret world belonging only to the two of them was quietly opening up. When Gye-yeong's hot breath rushed in close enoug
