Guro Office – a secret hideout for mercenaries and killers.

To step inside, one must first get past the desk manager, Yoo Solip.

One day, Code Red–ranked mercenary Rowan Valentine requests a room.

At the same time, a suspicious new recruit, Do Jaekyung, joins the team.

Solip can’t help but doubt his true motives.

“Do you always pat down the rookies like this?”

“I never touched you.”

“Then why the special treatment? You’re making my heart race.”

Against her will, Solip finds herself caught up in his orbit—stirred in ways she never expected.

But once his identity and secrets come to light, the passion that nearly consumed her turns into burning hatred.

The only time she has a chance to kill the man she longs to destroy

is when he’s lost in the frenzy of pleasure.

Solip regrets it all. If she could go back to the moment they first met,

she would never have allowed someone like Do Jaekyung

to both save her… and ruin her. <<less

"...You're talking weird. I was just buying ice cream at the convenience store."

"Yeah, to see you."

Yet, the man effortlessly tries to break down Daeun's defenses.

"Have you ever tried junk food?"

"I've never had it."

"Really?"

"I'm not interested."

Her soft voice fills the quiet room. Jaehyuk fiddle with her hair, his gaze fixed on the glimpses of her pale neck.

"You know what junk food tastes like. You've had it, don't pretend otherwise."

His hand slides to her neck, cupping her chin. He tilts her head and kisses her lips as if entranced.

"Don't you remember now?" <<less
