‘Everyone has a secret they want to hide. Like a time bomb. It could explode.’..☘ ☘ ☘The pop music heard softly from the headphones of the girl who is experimenting with her laptop. Her pliable fingers dance quickly over the keyboard. Then she picks up a cup of hot chocolate next to her. She blew it slowly, then drank a little of the contents of the cup. Claire put the cup down and refocused. She was busy doing her hobby, hacked websites on the internet.The phone next to it vibrates, showing an incoming message. Her cheeks were a little dazzling to see the name on her phone screen. She quickly picked up the phone and opened the chat message.Wed | 7:45 AMYeong-jun: Morning.Claire: Morning ....Yeong-jun: Have you had breakfast?Claire: I haven’t had a chance. Just a cup

I rested my body behind a sofa with red velvet fabric with gold carvings on each side. My eyes stared straight out the window. My hands loosened up my tie a bit. I don’t know why they’re going to have a ball party next week with the reason of finding my mate. Though I’ve repeatedly confirmed to both of them, I’m pretty sure I can find my mate by myself. However, the mother who wants to have a grandchild soon makes the king not change his decision. “Damn it.” I glanced to the side. My hand grabbed a glass of deep red liquid on the table. Then bring the glass closer to my face, inhale the smell of blood first fleetingly. It’s good. Just had a sip, bland. “Fuck!” I immediately threw the glass roughly against the wall. The medium-sized glass crushed in an instant into small pieces as it touched the wall. T

THE icy wind that pierces my skin makes me shiver. My eyes opened slowly, watching the face of a man who was right in front of me. Sturdy jaws. Black hair that’s darker than the night sky. He’s fucking handsome. ‘Am I in heaven?’ SHIT—I jumped in shock to see that guy open his eyes. I woke up quickly and found myself still in the woods. “What am I doing here?” My eyes looked down. “Where’s my shirt?” Hold on. I’m trying so hard to roll back my memory, remembering what happened last night. Damn! I grabbed hold of my neck to see if there were any scars left there. Weird. There are no injuries. “Do you remember?”  I ran away from the man, not caring about the wooden branches that hurt my leg. There&rsquo

My eyes squinted as the girl with the brunette hair opened the window curtains beside my bed, letting the sunlight through the window. She shook her head slowly. “Ara, let’s get up!” she shouted, pulling up my blanket.“Enghh—”“Hurry and take a shower. Today the master told us to gather.”I nodded, response to Claire’s words. She walked closer, sat next to my bed.“What time did you comeback home last night? We’ve been looking all over place for you, but you’ve fallen asleep in your room.” I smiled while scratching my head, which was not itching to respond in her. There’s no way I’m telling that story about what happened yesterday to the girl, especially William. “You—Next time, please don’t turn off your phone. We worried b

The girl with the black hair put a bouquet of purple tulips on the gravestone in front of her. Her hand grazed the name that was engraved on the headstone earlier. Park Hyo-jin. There was a tomb that the two of them used to visit together, her father’s grave.“Mother ... Father ....”Snow falls from the sky. The girl’s head looked up at the sky, which was filled with ornaments of white ice flakes falling down. That’s amazing. She lowered her head again.“We always visit father’s grave, but now I’m sure that mother is happy because you both became together.”She stepped out of the burial area. Tiara walked towards the nearest bus stop. She intends to go to the city library, which is located quite far from this area. Tiara wanted to return the book she borrowed a week ago. The librarian could be even scarier than Hyung-seok if she was late returning the books from
