Final Round I buttoned my cuffs. My movements were slow. The silver cufflinks, cut into diamond shapes, gleamed under the light. I slid a tie pin studded with a small diamond into place. My white dress shirt bore not a speck of dust, and the vest hugged my body with steady assurance. The single-breasted jacket fell perfectly along the lines of my shoulders and waist. Finally, I fastened a wristwatch with an exposed movement. “You look excellent, sir.” The staffer I had seen dining on…-

Vol 6 Ch 16
Inside the hotel, it was cool, as if the heat outside had never existed. I slipped into light slippers and opened the laptop on the living room table. It was a laptop with only storage functions, no internet connection. Click. I right-clicked through the WikiLeaks files. What had been released through hacktivists was only the tip of the iceberg, and Kwon Taeha had entrusted all of it to me. However I chose to use it, it was left entirely in my hands. I pulled the bugging pen from my pocket and placed…-

Vol 6 Ch 15
Just as I lifted my phone to take a picture of the back of the stone, I heard rustling footsteps in the grass and suddenly a voice. “What are you doing there?” The sound came from the narrow path we had climbed up. A man was staring at Wagner and me with a face full of suspicion. Seeing a white man here must have been strange enough—he was clutching a sickle tightly in his hand. “Who are you?” We were just as startled and didn’t immediately answer, so the man raised his voice…-

"Fuck, this is what it means to be a pushover." I lightly bit my lip and pressed the call button. Looking down at the casino’s flashing neon signs, I didn’t change my mind even as the slow dial tone rang out. Click—the sound of him picking up reached me. I could hear the smirk in his voice. "……CEO." "Are you alright?" "Are you in danger?" "I…… want to leave Macau." His silence made me aware of my own pounding heart. "I’ll make it into one.…-

Vol 6 Ch 13
Kwon Taeha had been abandoned by his father; I had been abandoned by my mother. No one is born alone. That truth doesn’t change, even with age. Did Father believe that half-souls could somehow hold hands together? “A half-soul…” “Huh? What did you say, Hawon?” Wagner, holding the umbrella steady, asked. I looked at him. Even someone with a strong body like him only loved his lover in moderation—because he valued himself more. As Kwon Taeha had said, where in this world is there a…-

Vol 6 Ch 12
After Father’s death, the person who had been closest to Kim Jaeyeon was neither me nor Jahan. As Wagner held a black umbrella over me, he lowered it closer against the intensifying rain. I fixed my eyes on the entrance of the inn where many people came and went. On the way here, I had seen the wall I rebuilt last year—once again collapsed. Last year, too, someone had crashed into the wall with a motorcycle, and now again, a large sign hung at the gate urging the culprit to turn themselves in. It…-

Vol 6 Ch 11
I don't know in what state of mind I finished the meal and returned to the room. Perhaps because I drank more beer than food, my feet staggered as I changed into indoor slippers. I placed my hand on the hallway mirror and then removed it, leaving a mark on the previously flawless surface. Kwon Taeha, having changed into black slippers, loosened his perfectly straight tie down to his chest and headed towards the bedroom. The herringbone pattern of the carpet dizzyed my eyes. The closely arranged V-shaped…-

The pool in the room was empty. A few fallen leaves lay inside, and it was so parched you could almost believe it was a winter pool. I sat on the edge of the pool, nodding my head back and forth. The wound on my hand had mostly healed, and the scab that had formed had fallen off. A thought kept repeating in my mind. Kwon Taeha is the child born from the immoral acts of Eva Kwon and Kwon YYiwon. Did my father know that fact too? And what about her…? I still couldn't believe that the corpse I saw and…-

Vol 6 Ch 9
“…k, knock.” The sound of knocking mixed with a voice mimicking it. I raised my head toward the door, still half-curled. Had I fallen asleep like that? The door wasn’t locked, and soon it creaked open. The man revealed was the same American doctor I’d seen before—or perhaps he was British. When he spotted me sprawled on the floor, his eyes widened. “Oh my, why are you sleeping on the floor?” He set down the emergency kit tucked under his arm and met my gaze. “I heard that you…-

Vol 6 Ch 8
Kwon Taeha’s subordinates acted exactly as he instructed. I had no intention of fleeing anyway, but the way they treated me—as a suspect ready to bolt at any time—reminded me once again: Ah, Kwon Taeha will never trust me. Of course he wouldn’t. I should be grateful enough that I wasn’t shackled and locked up in a hotel room…… I thumped my chest. If I didn’t, I thought the bile would spill out again. I knew it was all because of me. I shouldn’t have run away. I shouldn’t have feared…-
