  8. Six Days Before Moving to the Deserted Island H-Hinting at what exactly? ‘Did he figure out my identity?’ Se-ah's heart pounded wildly, like an oil well pump extracting crude oil from the depths of the sea all at once. Despite the muggy weather, her mouth felt as dry as if she were stranded alone in a drought. Through her trembling long lashes, she could feel the intense gaze of Junhyuk locked directly on her. Even up close, his skin was flawlessly smooth, without a single pore, and his face, as if touched by the breath of a god, was as immaculate as an angel's. But to Se-ah at that moment, he seemed more terrifying than a devil with multiple horns. Her gaze rolled away and landed on the golf club she had propped up by the door earlier when she had opened it for Moon Sohee. It wasn’t too far from her reach. ‘Should I give Do Junhyuk's head a light tap with that? Maybe he'd lose his memory and forget about me. If it fails, I can just hit my own head, pretend to be c...

    7. The Uninvited Guest Every step toward the front door made the golf club, which didn’t match the old house’s ambiance, glint under the fluorescent light. It was left behind by a female guest who came on a golf trip last year. She had abandoned it on the cruise, saying that international shipping costs were too high and that they could dispose of it as they pleased. Seizing the opportunity, she brought it home. Before her house fell into ruin, Se-ah's hobby had been golf. While her current situation made it impossible to dream of playing on a course, she would occasionally practice her swing in the cramped space of the house.

Despite her slender frame, Se-ah’s average drive distance with a driver was 200 yards, and she was frequently encouraged to turn professional. If she swung it properly, it co...

  6. An Unwelcome Encounter Of all the countries in the world, why did it have to be the Philippines? And of all the cruise offices, why did it have to be the one where I work? I felt as if I had the worst luck in the world. It became clear that the nightmare I had at dawn was a prelude to this incident. No wonder his face had seemed so vivid. So vivid, in fact, that just remembering being with him at a distance close enough to feel his breath still gave me chills. No friends, acquaintances, or anyone else knew I was here. The thought that Junhyuk, of all people, almost discovered me sent shivers down my spine. What would his reaction have been if he had realized it was me? He might not have laughed at me outright, but he definitely would have looked down on me. That thought alone brought a bitter smile to my face. Living in a world where only the strong survive, I had always been 'strong.' But now, I had fallen not just to 'weak' but all the way to the underground. How...
