Yoon, who developed pain insensitivity disorder due to her father’s ab*se as a child, was devoid of any will to live. Her lifeless, dark eyes caught the interest of Canux, the boss of the underworld, who brought her into his organization.... more>>

He entrusted her care and training entirely to Lucas, his heir and the next leader of the Maier family.

Now, eight years have passed since she stepped into the world of the underworld. To her surprise, handling guns suited her well, and she had risen to become an elite sniper.

With detached eyes and an occasional faint smile tugging at her lips, Yoon’s face often wore a bored expression, accompanied by a listless voice. Her playful jokes seemed to mask her deep sense of ennui. Living a life as meaningless as air drifting in the void, she suddenly finds her fate shaken by the arrival of men destined to turn her world upside down...

Her pain insensitivity, once like salvation, had robbed her even of warmth.

Will she ever regain her senses and feel the warmth she has longed for?

Note: The “pain insensitivity disorder” portrayed in this work may differ from real-life conditions.

‘...Hot?’

The thought crossed Yoon’s mind, and her eyes opened abruptly.

Did I just think it was hot?

Yoon froze in place. Feeling something strange, she slowly pulled her lips away. Their parting made a faint, tantalizing sound.

“...Why?”

Yoon blankly lowered her gaze, looking at him. The heat was still visible around his eyes. Yoon’s hand moved slowly, brushing against his cheek. Bowing slightly, she pressed her forehead to his. Her eyelashes trembled, and her heartbeat quickened.

“...It was hot.”

Yoon spoke as if the words were forced out. It had definitely been hot.

“What’s the problem?”

His lips parted in surprise, as if he couldn’t believe what she was saying.

“Hot? Did you just say… hot?”

He repeated in disbelief, too shocked to even notice the stiffness in his lower half. He drew a sharp breath.

Yoon blankly ran her fingers over her lips. The strange sensation she had never felt before, coupled with the sudden heat, left her thoroughly confused.

“...If I knew this would happen, I should’ve kissed someone random instead of chasing treatments.”

She muttered absentmindedly, prompting him to raise one of his thick eyebrows slightly.

“That doesn’t sound like something you should say to the person you just jumped on.” <<less
