Smoke billows over the marble floors, dense and suffocating, as flames consume the only home I ever knew.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNGE2CSV8
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Onk8axofJ
There was a ripping, violent noise—like the earth tearing open at the seams.
Screams cut through the corridors.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTOdIy1OP
The ground trembles with sprinting footsteps.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG0paF0yEr
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD7qdeDmrG
I have coppery taste in my mouth.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCsPeu7FnN
I do not know whose blood it is.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNTfSdB8TA
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SrCQpMv2h
I do not dwell.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO5HePzOfm
I can't.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Qtn9vNjF
Reflecting back is slowing down, and slowing down is dying.
The villa, which was partly a palace of gilded splendor, is now a grave.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD12snLX7h
A tomb of shattered trust and shattered limbs.
I ought to have foreseen it.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63v6ekBVqI
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAbKoy0cMS
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH8dU5Olep
A party thrown in our honor, they said.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW499USxgb
The sign of peace, they asserted.
I recall the wine that they pressed gently into my hands.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQDLv6bKB
The laughter that felt wrong in my mouth.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo6quZR5b6
The lights blurred together, the world tilting askew beneath my feet.
Then darkness.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OQl9tJtfa
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bEAJIn5nH
A warning.
Even today, my body still remembers what my mind is attempting to forget.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rH49Ih18k
The sensation of helplessness.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN937ppHJD
The taste of betrayal.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSCk0DMSYv
The manner in which the room whirled and my voice cracked when I attempted to scream.
They broke into everything that evening.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPsPXO5TYc
My innocence.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdnLqOrlRI
My trust.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs9ebUWXxn
My future.
And yet, inexplicably, they still weren’t completed
The following day, they returned to get the rest of us.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHdnzkjro3
My father.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjlWn30tj
My mum.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH6FQAvNT6
Our dedicated guards.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3xLf9UCHG
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEqVEe7tE
His dreams-filled, foolishly shining eyes were already empty when he fell to the ground.
There just wasn’t time to grieve.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEdHXMXAxq
I didn't even have time to breathe.
I sprinted until my lungs hemorrhaged.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kLflqTdQ6
I sprinted along back streets and muddy side streets, in my bare feet, shaking, with blood and smoke trailing after me.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4U1tsj4u3
I ran because survival became my sole act of rebellion.
And somehow, I managed.
Survival, however, wasn't freedom331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVUJ7SvRpZ
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsotuCzMDkS
She served as reminder.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2buKI28C
A reminder of all that I lost and all that would forever elude me.
I disliked her at first.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuDOffN8h6
I resented the transformation my body underwent, how the world treated me as pitiful, broken, damaged.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvcahgtg90
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F9O308wYW
An old, withered, and just barely alive
An unsafe item.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1h6Wq6cU7
But all the same, mine.
I named her Yuna.
Because she was proof that even among the ruins, there was still something alive.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWzOupjv4S
Because she was mine.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjcmCURkMf
Because I would not let the Lees take anything else.
I created a new lifestyle in obscurity.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqrhqiqJzj
No longer marble villas.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hUgeiz32v
No more silken gowns and crystal chandeliers.
Now, my realm was neon-lit backrooms, grimy apartments, forgotten Internet cafes.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV1uZiM1qY
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZ0taWi5M
They shaped me into something more deadly than their finest assassins.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotG49MFAtV
Colder than their best enforcers.
Every pilfered account, each leaked secret, each overthrown competitor—I did them all with one purpose in mind:331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyLGuKspbH
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgRsptNVNr
But now, I am not the same girl he harmed.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTiYKgpMht
I am somebody else now.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ3jOXgz7b
Worse still.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxI9h8Gpp
I will soon enter his world.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEo27fV1j2
Sink into his pores.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqFCtxefxn
Smile when he does.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSETNtryPo
Lie when he does.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn28tqs1Ig
Bleed him out from the inside.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoQcMMaZK7
I would destroy all that he holds dear.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lXgo79X3C
I shall make him witness as the empire which he perceives as impregnable goes up in flames around him.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wBQVYbz8J
And when there's nothing left—331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfktPdu8oD
When the black smoke ascends into the heavens—331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5X6CV1Si
Finally, when he gazes into my eyes and notices the girl he believed he shattered—331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGByqKJe9t
It will already be too late.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOe5cLkNQ2
For justice is coming.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhogaDelT
It covers my face.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzdeSVLM4i
It courses through my veins.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMP2oTS0qF
It pulses in my daughter's little heart each time that she smiles at me.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva6ephVZmL
The Lee family believes they have put the past behind them.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3XbbXbcLq
That the ghosts of their wrongdoings have long disappeared into dust.
They are mistaken.
I am the ghost who failed to stay.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5EAyjMDeO
I am the tempest unfolding over their idyllic skyline.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtut8T6tIq
I am the reckoning they never thought would happen.
And when I attack, it shall be a merciless, lovely devastation.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU9QRPkCL3
Symphony of revenge created from all the broken fragments they left behind.
They stole all my possessions once.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJquQWTxd
I will take everything they have this time.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJONO6QSPW
Piece by bloody piece.
