Hyeran hadn’t seen Taekwoon in weeks, supposedly, yet it seemed like the man was everywhere. Mundane everyday activities like grocery shopping had turned into mind games because she would believe she had spotted her client somewhere, but then she would always somehow lose sight of the man. Either she was going crazy or Jung Taekwoon was playing cat-and-mouse with her.

Ever since that first encounter with the accused murderer, Taekwoon had been an inerasable memory for her, and it appeared that forgetting his face was something that the world would not even permit. If this were all the doing of Hyeran’s subconscious, then what did that mean? Love? An obsession? Hyeran thought she had known love in her life, but the object of her affection never made her question her own sanity.

Taekwoon would not steal her focus. It belonged to Hyeran and a man like Taekwoon had no business coming into her head and making turmoil of everything. Hyeran had her determination set when she set out for work, and during work, and after work. Then everything went awry.

Chapter 14: So this certainly took me by surprise! Oh my. I must admit my concern is all over the place: from Hongbin's condition, to Hyeran's current state, to Taekwoon's advances rapidly reaching new heights. I can only assume he's behind this, and if he is--goodness! It's both haunting and yet compelling to see what happens next.
Glad I took some time to get updated with the story, and again, all the best with future updates!
