“How did you know? I hid it well so that no one would find out.“ Adrian Caesar von de Paltzgraf, the successor to the Paltzgraf Family. He is hailed as an angel in this world, but only I knew that the serial murders and murder attempts happening in the area which everyone was talking about were all committed by a young, good-looking gentleman. [Adrian’s murderous intent has increased.] [Convince Adrian to lower his murderous intent. If not, you die.] [Adrian’s murderous intent is at 92%.] I am the only one who knows.

When Hee-on later finds herself in danger, he saves her and they drink alcohol together. While Taegeom is knocked out drunk, she steals a kiss from him. “...You, fuck.” “Why are you cussing? Was it that terrible?” Only later does Taegeom realize that the kiss was a ploy to learn the passcode of the office’s safe, but he can’t bring himself to abandon Hee-on, who is standing at the edge of a cliff. “Write this down. Don’t leave out a single word.” A pathetic IOU scribbled on a napkin. 20,000 won a day. Repayment must be in cash without exceptions. “I chase down anyone who borrows money from me to the ends of hell.” Each arduous day ends with an exchange of 20,000 won. Time passes in a blur, not knowing whether they’re repaying a debt or taking on another. Those moments start to sink deeper into their lives.
