Base 8 Code

이혼한 지 8년 만에 성지민은 병원에서 전 부인을 마주치리라고는 상상도 못 했다. 한때는 손에 물 한 방울 안 묻히던 천하의 귀한 아가씨 김도아가 어느덧 의사가 되었고 심지어 절름발이 신세가 되어 있었다. 일곱 살짜리 아들이 그녀가 누구냐고 물었을 때, 성지민은 한참을 머뭇거리다가 대답했다. “오랜만에 보는 옛 지인.” 성지민은 평생을 냉정하고 무정하게 살아왔다. 복수를 위해 수단과 방법을 가리지 않았고 치열한 사업 판에서 지금껏 수많은 더럽고 추악한 짓을 저질렀다. 그는 언제나 양심에 거리낌이 없었고 그 누구에게도 후회해 본 적이 없었다. 결코, 단 한 번도... 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 그해 그녀가 유리 조각을 자신의 어깨에 찔러넣고 목이 터져라 자신을 증오한다고 울부짖던 그 순간을 잊을 수가 없었다. 8년 전, 김도아는 가족들에게 버림받고 연인에게 배신당한 뒤 이 도시를 떠났다. 8년 후, 그녀는 이곳으로 돌아왔고 다시 성지민과 마주쳤다. 그에게는 아이가 생겼고 새로운 결혼반지를 끼고 있었다. 그녀 역시 새로운 연인과 아이가 있었다. 증오와 사랑, 얽히고설켰던 모든 것은 이미 지나간 일이 되었다. 그러다 김도아가 남자의 숨겨온 비밀을 알게 되는데... 성지민의 아이는 그녀의 아이였고 손에 낀 결혼반지 또한 8년 전 그녀가 바다에 버렸던 반지였다. 그는 그저 미친놈이었다. 집착이 심하고 고집스러우며 여전히 과거에 갇혀 사는 미친놈. 보육원에서 굶주린 들개처럼 스스로를 벼려 상권을 장악한 실세가 되기까지 성지민은 단 한 치도 허리를 굽힌 적이 없었다. 뼛속까지 시린 칼바람이 부는 겨울, 그토록 깊이 감추었던 침잠한 표정은 온데간데없이 사라졌다. 그녀를 붙잡기 위해 완전히 미쳐버린 성지민, 모든 것을 뒤엎고 난장판을 만든 후에야 그녀 앞에 무릎을 꿇었다. 그는 후회했다. 미치도록 후회했다.

It is the third year of the apocalypse. All water sources have been thoroughly polluted, making even a single bottle of clean water extremely rare. Every base has to send out search teams to find new water sources for all. My husband, Jasper Curran, is a geologist, and so, he is able to locate water sources that are still pure and unpolluted. However, when someone holds a knife to my throat for the last bottle of water—thinking that he will do anything to stop them—he hands the only bottle of clean water to Avery Grayson, the person who claimed she was my parents' real daughter instead of me. "Ave is thirsty. She's been suffering since she was little and she even had her parents taken by you, Arianne Grayson," Jasper says. "Just let her have the water." Jasper's expression is too calm and collected, as if my life is not on the line because of him. "They're just trying to scare you. You've enjoyed so many years of being spoiled with a luxurious lifestyle anyway. So what if you get bullied a little?" The people then kick me to the ground in a fit of rage as I watch Jasper huddle Avery into his arms and disappear into the desert. I get beaten up so hard that my chapped lips crack and start bleeding once again. I look at the menacing faces around me and quickly exclaim, "Wait, wait! I can help you find clean water too!"

A Feral Curse swept through the werewolf world. Those wolves touched by it become monsters that devour their own packmates; others die in agony as the infection burns through them. The survivors formed an Alliance to fight back. I fought alongside my mate, Alpha Liam, until the very end. Until rescue finally came. But our transport was seconds from takeoff. That’s when Liam's first love, an omega named Chloe, ran back. All for a beat-up music box. Liam insisted we wait. The feral pack was closing in. I had no choice. I forced the ramp shut. Chloe was torn apart by ferals. Back at the Alliance base, I thought we were safe. I was wrong. That night, Liam knocked me out and threw me to a captured feral wolf. The infection was pure agony. It felt like my veins were erupting from the inside out. I died alone in a cold, empty cell. His last words echoed in my mind through our link: "You let Chloe die. It's your turn to feel what she felt." Then I opened my eyes. I was back. Back on the airfield. On the day he refused to leave. I saw the feral pack in the distance, and a cold smile touched my lips. He wants to save Chloe so badly? Fine. This time, they can die together.

Led by my ex-boyfriend, the police raid the base of the major crime syndicate. The antagonist takes his own life, and the only person who could prove my identity as a top-secret undercover operative died two weeks ago. My ex-boyfriend drags me into court. He wants my memories extracted so I can face public judgment and sentencing. Nevertheless, I have no intention of explaining myself. "I plead guilty. Grant me a swift death." The masses are outraged, despising me with every fiber of their being. "Ha! You despicable traitor! You monster! You're a rat who exposes undercover journalists, yet you dare ask for a swift death? "This is the world of a novel. The maximum penalty for a guilty plea is euthanasia, but if judgment is passed by the court, you will suffer endless torment until your last breath!" "You don't deserve euthanasia. You belong in hell!" Rotten eggs and stones pelt me mercilessly. Even with my face now covered in blood, I make no effort to avoid the assaults. I only longed for death. My ex-boyfriend glares at me coldly. "You betrayed me. What right do you have to ask for a swift death? Your memories must be extracted and judged in court. Death will come only after your torment!" They are the ones who demand my memories be extracted and judged, yet after seeing them, why are they also the ones who go mad with regret?
