Story Introduction

※ This story contains triggering elements such as gaslighting and other polarizing themes. Please take this into account before reading.

A city shrouded in mist during the humid summer season, Munjeong.

Following her mother, Chaeon moves into the eerie and secretive mansion called Songbaekwon.

And there, she can’t help but keep glancing at Jang Taeha, the eldest son, arrogant and cold.

“Act according to your status, Chaeon. Don’t climb too high.”

Though he seems to despise her,

“If you want to play the piano, come and play.”

“…What?”

“You know, don’t you? When I come and go.”

A man who shakes Chaeon’s heart entirely and then abruptly leaves.

Three years later,

he returns as the most perfectly matured version of the man she had always imagined—

to become another woman’s man.

“You have a fiancée, don’t you?”

“So what? Legally, is that not allowed?”

Jang Taeha, who keeps provoking the desires buried deep within her,

makes feelings that should not grow in her begin to flourish.

“Try being more honest. You’re even bolder now, aren’t you?”

She doesn’t even know what intentions he hides behind his approach.
