Chapter 23. Every Choice Comes with a Price. (3) Yerim calmly read through Semin’s screenplay. It was the story of a middle school student who sets out on a journey, following in the footsteps of his late father. It was well suited for a fifteen-minute film, and the story itself was perfect for a youth film festival. More importantly, the writing was good. As she read the lively, flavorful dialogue in the screenplay, Yerim let out a small sound of admiration. “What do you think? Is it not…-

Chapter 24 Before the shock had even faded, Tae-kyung said something even more unbelievable. “But there’s someone else who drew up this entire picture.” “…Someone else?” Seo-ah instinctively felt uneasy. Every time she drew a ragged breath, the pressure in the hollow between her collarbones seemed to grow heavier. No… surely not. At the face that suddenly came to mind, Seo-ah’s complexion turned pale. No. That would be too… Even as she desperately rejected the…-

Chapter 23 Jin Se-yeon and Kang Han-kyung. They had first met a little over two years ago, when Se-yeon was a hostess at an entertainment establishment and Han-kyung was one of its high-profile customers. Se-yeon was not an exceptionally beautiful woman, but she possessed a distinctive, sensual allure that seemed to flow naturally from her. Of course, that alone was not what had caught Han-kyung’s interest. Se-yeon was skilled at pleasing men, but more importantly, she was a woman who could…

Chapter 22 The next morning. Seo-ah was sitting blankly at the dining table with a sandwich stuffed into her mouth. “What’s gotten into you? You’re actually eating before you leave today?” Her mother, Cha Hye-won, placed a glass of milk in front of her daughter. Even at middle age, she had a face remarkably similar to Seo-ah’s, and for some reason, she wore a pleasant smile around her lips as though she were particularly happy. “Hm?” “Seeing you eat makes Mom so…

Chapter 16 It felt as though some invisible fate had designed that day just so. The date and the time had both lined up perfectly. It was a difficult journey for the mother and daughter, who had never been there before, as they wandered through the sprawling buildings of the Le Havre Higher Conservatory of Music and Dance in search of Pleyel Hall. Yet, perhaps sensing instinctively that this would be their last chance, Dolores and her mother searched for the concert hall without a single…-

Chapter 10 Meanwhile, Xavier had somehow already made his way to the window. He was standing in front of the half-open window that had clearly been used as an entrance despite there being a perfectly good door. The curtains that had slipped loose swayed gently like waves over his broad shoulders. There probably weren't many people passing by at this hour, but if someone happened to see him standing at her bedroom window and reported it to her father, it would be a disaster. “Come over here…

Chapter 9 Throughout the dinner Anais had prepared, Dolores was overwhelmed by a difficult-to-describe feeling. Was this what it felt like to realize that the younger sibling you had always thought of as a child had grown up? Come to think of it, at seventeen, Anais was certainly old enough to be considered a young lady. If they had been a proper aristocratic family, she would have already made her debut in society. If that had been the case, Anais would probably have been extremely…

Chapter 8 In the newspaper Dolores had seen the previous day, there had been an article saying that the second son of the Durand de Morten Company might inherit part of their business, and that he had returned after studying political economy at Rudigen Academy in the neighboring country of Triavelle. She had heard that he had gone abroad to study, but she had never heard the details directly from Xavier. She knew very little about it. Dolores finally asked the question that had been lingering in…

Chapter 7 The fact that Anais had asked a question after opening it did not matter much to her. Dolores closed her book and beckoned with her finger, and Anais hurried over. The letter Anais had brought was, more precisely, less of a letter and more of a card folded in half. There were signs that it had already been opened. “Ana, you—” “I didn't open it first! Pablo just took it out of the mailbox and gave it to me exactly like this!” Horrified, Anais quickly shifted the blame onto…

Chapter 6 2. Ballet and Violin “Have you heard about that bizarre contraption the Bernards made? Just looking at it makes me dizzy and nauseous. I'd rather die of boredom riding in a carriage.” Aunt Audrey's voice, who had visited her father about five days ago, replayed in Dolores's mind. About half a year ago—or was it six months ago?—the academic journals had published an article about the Bernard family, who ran the papermaking company Montgore, conducting experiments to make a…
