As the seaside wedding of Melody and me was underway, her childhood sweetheart Levi made a comment.
"I'd like to see the groom perform a falling-in-the-water show."
Without hesitation, she pushed me into the sea to amuse her childhood sweetheart.
I struggled painfully in the water, nearly drowning to death.
It was my mother, in the late stages of lung cancer, who recklessly jumped into the sea to rescue me.
But she inhaled too much seawater and became a vegetable as a result.
That night, I returned home to pack my clothes and found Melody in her wedding dress, tangled in passionate embrace with Levi on our new bed.
I stood in the doorway, soaking wet and utterly exhausted, dialing Melody's aunt's number.
"Auntie, can I still be your lover?"

The Clouds Part, Revealing the Moon

Frost Industries is a century-old corporation.


In recent years, under Vivienne's leadership, it has expanded internationally.


For ordinary people, getting into the company is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.


However, Vivienne actually parachuted me in as a vice president?


Although it's only as vice president of Human Resources, it still took me a long time to process.


Arriving at the company with Vivienne, I saw some familiar faces.


That's when I understood why she arranged it this way.


Because both Melody and Levi work in HR.


Upon learning I was the newly appointed VP, Melody's expression contorted.


Levi even gritted his teeth so hard they might crack.


The two glowered until lunch break, when Melody cornered me forcefully in the men's restroom.


"Fintan, when did you start cozying up to my aunt?"


Melody's face flushed red as she interrogated me.


I chuckled softly without saying a word, but she took my silence as guilt.
