Smoke billows over the marble floors, dense and suffocating, as flames consume the only home I ever knew.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUToVmNZkJ
The walls strain with the heat. Flickering shadows assume grotesque shapes, engulfing the gold-leaf ceilings and the gleaming chandeliers.
I always hear the shots first before noticing the blood.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4Bhycva6
There was a ripping, violent noise—like the earth tearing open at the seams.
Screams cut through the corridors.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafYGgTBJSt
The ground trembles with sprinting footsteps.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6VkZSD9Jr
In the distance, there is the shattering of a glass vase sounding like a gunshot.
My heart is pounding so quickly it feels like it's about to burst.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UWg0Oz8ri
I have coppery taste in my mouth.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AYgLFKBW
I do not know whose blood it is.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yeuNvNs3D
I don’t even know if it’s mine.
That's all I know, that I need to run.
I sprint through the smoke-filled hallways, my bare feet skidding across the cold, slick marble wet with some dark liquid.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1aK8mv0WU
I do not dwell.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qio3ITQ91
I can't.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MnHGl62ul
Reflecting back is slowing down, and slowing down is dying.
The villa, which was partly a palace of gilded splendor, is now a grave.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxLyY3Wq9H
A tomb of shattered trust and shattered limbs.
I ought to have foreseen it.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNBda0jdHN
I would have known.
But at that time, I still held onto things such as loyalty.
Vows exchanged over flasks of aged whiskey and hushed offers in mahogany-lined back rooms.
I didn’t realize in my father's chosen world loyalty existed as just another blade—double-edged, ever so cutting.
It wasn't the shooting that broke me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFC6YXU6XA
It wasn't the massacre that made me into a ghost.
It was the evening before.
The evening when I was tricked into an ambush disguised as a party.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZJ8DA3J7Z
A party thrown in our honor, they said.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap77mhxuuv
The sign of peace, they asserted.
I recall the wine that they pressed gently into my hands.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe4WY5h2HR
The laughter that felt wrong in my mouth.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH190QM9uZ
The lights blurred together, the world tilting askew beneath my feet.
Then darkness.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWniaNtmgWV
I slept like a drugged person, incredibly deep, unable to struggle free even though I struggled with all my might.
And when I woke—
The Lee heir's soft, low, and deadly voice, whispering it hadn't been personal.
I was simply a lesson.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvcoHw78sB
A warning.
Even today, my body still remembers what my mind is attempting to forget.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiy0ESmpZB
The sensation of helplessness.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyqMY1cxN
The taste of betrayal.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7u6vhn4Sx
The manner in which the room whirled and my voice cracked when I attempted to scream.
They broke into everything that evening.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcfMTXBtQH
My innocence.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4DjckbC59
My trust.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCm4ZdhTV
My future.
And yet, inexplicably, they still weren’t completed
The following day, they returned to get the rest of us.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgiV3XBjcG
My father.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpiduzC3x6
My mum.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW3HyJ5pUJ
Our dedicated guards.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY4Kn6kFeS
Our friends.
All swept away in an explosion of bullets and flames.
I saw my father fall from across the marble hall, a neat hole punched through his chest.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OB6gvgE8D
His dreams-filled, foolishly shining eyes were already empty when he fell to the ground.
There just wasn’t time to grieve.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxHuxJvfsS
I didn't even have time to breathe.
I sprinted until my lungs hemorrhaged.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLBDx5p2X
I sprinted along back streets and muddy side streets, in my bare feet, shaking, with blood and smoke trailing after me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzyKlOoOA
I ran because survival became my sole act of rebellion.
And somehow, I managed.
Survival, however, wasn't freedom718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9Javjq9M
Not for me.
For weeks afterward, when the nightmares still lingered, carrying an almost dull, persistent throb, I discovered that I wasn’t alone.
The baby developing in my belly wasn't miraculous.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ge0nWccdD
She served as reminder.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZglu0e8En
A reminder of all that I lost and all that would forever elude me.
I disliked her at first.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdb2rR6h6b
I resented the transformation my body underwent, how the world treated me as pitiful, broken, damaged.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEycHUq6e33
I despised the fact that she bound me to the monsters who stole everything from me forever.
But when the baby arrived, small and perfect, with eyes too large for her delicate face, I broke.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pb2Cvexwy
An old, withered, and just barely alive
An unsafe item.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8TdhNuNF
But all the same, mine.
I named her Yuna.
Because she was proof that even among the ruins, there was still something alive.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEGFSuKk9G
Because she was mine.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7933gsbsfD
Because I would not let the Lees take anything else.
I created a new lifestyle in obscurity.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ999OJzQwYK
No longer marble villas.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfGPG07jcO
No more silken gowns and crystal chandeliers.
Now, my realm was neon-lit backrooms, grimy apartments, forgotten Internet cafes.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtxmwhIXM6
My weaponry wasn't guns or knives, but my firewalls, my passwords, my lines of code more deadly than any blade.
I have trained myself to become invisible.
They schooled me in cruelty without even knowing it.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0yXCwtuEn
They shaped me into something more deadly than their finest assassins.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzztZUHsERP
Colder than their best enforcers.
Every pilfered account, each leaked secret, each overthrown competitor—I did them all with one purpose in mind:718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQFgoOdb3I
To cut out a route back to them. To insert a knife under their ribs, just as they inserted one into my life.
The Lee family still dominates the underworld of South Korea—untouchable, untouchable, untouchable
They have grown even wealthier.
They spread like a virus.
Their transgressions are hidden under layers of excess and deception.
But I know that.
I know the corruption at their very center.
I know the right pressure at the right point makes their golden walls crumble.
And I'll keep pushing.
It starts with him—the heir.
Seong-jin Lee.
The lad that broke me.
The individual who stands poised to inherit all.
Eloquent. Aff
Covered in a suit and with a smile, concealing the poison beneath.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzJNK13LN
But now, I am not the same girl he harmed.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytdusALb5
I am somebody else now.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc2cUVWaGp
Worse still.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUGu0U3jzK
I will soon enter his world.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrFDmqOa4
Sink into his pores.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYRYJVILKU
Smile when he does.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x0PRilBus
Lie when he does.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfjaBYSPUI
Bleed him out from the inside.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKQF74X18
I would destroy all that he holds dear.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgDQfE2Keh
I shall make him witness as the empire which he perceives as impregnable goes up in flames around him.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVHjJOo21
And when there's nothing left—718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmUj3pJabz
When the black smoke ascends into the heavens—718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy13b111Az
Finally, when he gazes into my eyes and notices the girl he believed he shattered—718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJsAVeBJrJ
It will already be too late.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8j9TNWbyo
For justice is coming.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9t80zTOn
It covers my face.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMUbgsKjNk
It courses through my veins.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0KNnEUree
It pulses in my daughter's little heart each time that she smiles at me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6UaguadOH
The Lee family believes they have put the past behind them.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvvDCAJAjd
That the ghosts of their wrongdoings have long disappeared into dust.
They are mistaken.
I am the ghost who failed to stay.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBoKBHzL64
I am the tempest unfolding over their idyllic skyline.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xsSE7VBe2
I am the reckoning they never thought would happen.
And when I attack, it shall be a merciless, lovely devastation.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5saMFI2S
Symphony of revenge created from all the broken fragments they left behind.
They stole all my possessions once.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUgih5EI4f
I will take everything they have this time.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiE68hTV9X
Piece by bloody piece.
