Chapter 101.1
Absolute Advantage
âack. a-adamâ¦!â
adam hugged hae-won on the sofa and kissed her around her neck. hae-won shrugged her shoulders when he touched her side as if she felt ticklish.
âhnn, i-it tickles, hmâ¦.â
adam, who covered her body, overlapped their lips. the scattered giggle turned into a dense moan. adam released hae-wonâs lower lip after biting it deeply.
âhaa, haâ¦.â hae-won gasped and looked up at adam.
the silver eyes that could be seen through the flowing black hair had a fascinating glow. his sharp nose and moist wet lips, everything that makes up him is unbearably tempting. facing adam like this, she felt like her body was floating. at the same time, she forgot the reality.
like sheâs possessed.
âi want to run away. with adam.â
hae-won suppressed the urge to say whatâs inside her heart.there was no option to run away. there was only a sad ending to living this hellish life with adam.but she wasnât afraid of hell the moment she was with this man.
no, i can forget about it.
it was when hae-won tried to kiss adam again, ignoring the reality surrounding them for a moment.
âbuzz-.â Â hae-wonâs cell phone on the table vibrated.
âhaewon, you got a text message.â
âoh, r-rightâ¦â¦.â
the atmosphere became awkward as if it had been poured cold water by a text message. of course, hae-won was the only one who felt awkward. adam calmly stepped back and helped hae-won get up. hae-won checked the text while looking at adam for no reason.
âwhat?â
her heart sank for a moment.
âwho is it? at this hour.â adam put his chin on hae-wonâs shoulder, who had hardened while holding a cell phone. hae-won quickly lowered her phone and shook her head.
âoh, because of workâ¦â¦. iâll be right back after making a phone call.â
hae-won jumped up as she stammered.
ââ¦â¦.â
naturally, the call towards the messenger was not connected. a text message with only a photo attached without any content. it was a picture of the building that haewon was looking for a day away. two men stood side by side in the background of the building.
âwho are these people?â
there was no point in zooming in on the picture. it was hard to recognize their face because they took it from so far away. but it was like a man related to a building. he was standing inside the barbed wire surrounding the building. it wasnât just a passerby passing by.
ânot that alpha. donât tell meâ¦â
hae-won looked carefully at the picture. she doesnât know who sent the picture for what reason, but the two men were the only clues.
âi think bora handles photoshop.â
hae-won, who was agonizing, checked the time and got up. and adam hurried back before he doubted. after that, she was exhausted to soothe adam, who was complaining about why she left himself alone for so long, but she couldnât sleep easily due to the anxiety that had risen in the corner of her mind.

the next day.
hae-won, who came to work, quietly approached bora and talked to her.
âbora, you know how to photoshop, right?â
âphotoshop? i can even use patch tool easily!â bora answered proudly, sticking out her chest.
âpatchâ¦.?â hae-won was speechless for a moment due to unfamiliar terms. at the same time, she was relieved that she was glad to find bora. this is because she already felt the force of an expert.
âis it possible to enlarge the picture clearly?â
âzoom? well, i donât think you need to use photoshop if thatâs the case. wait a minute.â bora started tapping on the cell phone screen.
âthese days, they use an app. itâs a great world, right? letâs seeâ¦. oh, i found it!â bora held out her cell phone. âitâs an image magnification app. i think we can use this. if you send me the picture, shall i check it right away?â
hae-won hurriedly shook her head when she heard that she could do it alone if she downloaded the app, âno, thank you very much for letting me know, bora. iâll do it myself.â
âyes!â hae-won returned to the ceo office, thanking bo-ra repeatedly.
âiâm glad i asked bora.â hae-won sat on the sofa with a sigh of relief.
and she hurriedly found and installed the application that bora told her about.
the tall man was at the back, but fortunately the man next to him was at the side. in addition, his face was not covered by the barbed wire.
âoh, itâs done.â
when the installation was over, haewon immediately attached a photo. at that moment, a strange anxiety arose in the corner of her mind.
âohâ¦â
it was a familiar face that was revealed as the outline of the blurred features became clear.
haewon doubted her eyes.
she was frozen for a long time without knowing that time was going by. in time, hae-wonâs expression on the black screen looked like a person who saw a ghost.
âwhy, li yu-yenâ¦â¦.â
