Foreword

Prologue

            Living life to the fullest, that is people way of comforting one another when things are getting hard. It is for the convenience of those who have high status in society, not suitable for just about anyone. Lives in the city are varied from homeless to the wealthiest fitting to be called millionaire or even billionaire.

            Chloe was not different. She was like a rabbit in the sea of wolf, but the image might be deceiving. Despite her appearance, she was certainly not a rabbit. She had a pair of light hands that could pick any pockets to her desire. She knew the city’s roads like the back of her hand. She did not choose thievery on her own free will. Everything started when her mother’s health began to tumbling down. She had to do everything in order to pay medical fee and to feed herself and a younger brother who had just entered primary school. She also had many part-time jobs, but the payment just was not enough.

Like any other day, she casually walked along the crowded road of Saint. Clover district, eyeing for prey who has the fattest wallet. She hated doing this, yet somewhat it had become a habit . After spotting a suitable target, she trod toward the prey in graceful pace, not too hurry not too slow. Sweat began to form on her palms. She could do this, she had always reminded herself. Nothing could make her felt disgusted more than this. Sometimes, she would resent her father for leaving her mother to raise two children on her own, to leave this world without so much as goodbye. She willed her mind to concentrate on the target before drifting further. When the guy got close enough, she slid her hand into his pocket and lightly took out the wallet without him noticing. She loosed a breath wiping the invisible sweat from her forehead. Sped up her pace, She turned left at corner into a quieter alley. There, she leaned on the wall to calm her shaking legs and thundering heart. Palming her face in silent prayer that the Mother forgive her, her legs gave out. Then, there, standing at the rounded corner, a guy’s silhouette reflecting on the road snapped her back to reality. Chloe craned her neck to face the mysterious stranger. Realization dawned on her face following by a flash of utter horror. All she could think was ‘she is done, her life is over’. She turned to the opposite direction, ready to run on full speed when the new guy said his greeting ‘Hello, classmate. Aren’t you going to greet me? How is the wallet? Find it to your liking?’ Namjoon’s victorious grin had her completely dumbfounded, unable to even move a muscle.
