Chapter 125
In a residential area in Seongbuk-dong stood a large detached house with an expansive garden on over 2.3 acres of land. The luxurious building, reminiscent of something out of a drama, belonged to Icarus Guild, one of the four biggest guilds in Korea.
“Ahhh...” Min-Ji stretched and got up from her bed.
Her long, flowing black hair shimmered, framing her delicate features: a high-bridged nose, a petite, tightly shut mouth, and large, expressive eyes with long, elegant lashes. Just one glance was enough to confirm her beauty.
She unlocked her smartphone to check the date and time; it was Saturday, 7:26 AM.
After checking her text messages with Do-Jun, Min-Ji walked over to a picture frame on her desk. It was a family photo taken when she was thirteen: her parents, who appeared to be in their early forties, and a young teenage Min-Ji, all smiling happily.
It was the last family photo they took together.
Min-Ji gently stroked the frame, her expression softening into a bittersweet smile.
Just then, someone gently knocked on the door.
“Miss, are you awake?”
When she opened the door, a middle-aged man in a formal suit gave her a polite bow.
“Good morning,” Min-Ji greeted him.
