The guilt of concealing a mu*der held her back.

Long-standing affection made her hesitate.

A small fishing village. An old tiled house with a blue gate. Eunsoh’s home, where she gave up her dream of college life, was still there. It seemed like it always would be.

Until she met Baek Jiham again.

“That kiss… I initiated it.”

Her first love, who was like a prince in her younger days.

The wonderful older brother she met again.

The selfish man who tries to possess her relentlessly.

A tender lover, fallen in love.

The more Eunsoh gets to know him, the more her world crumbles. But it wasn’t destruction.

It was a 蜕变 (tuì biàn) – metamorphosis, or shedding of skin.

“Are you confident you can be satisfied with just my shell for the rest of your life?”

The world, with one layer peeled off, looked quite different from before.

Because of love.

Love.

She wanted to experience pure, unreserved love with him.
