Sometimes, she was genuinely curious how such a good-looking person could have such a ruthless heart.
Torturing her relentlessly, she even doubted whether he truly saw her as a human being.

If only...
If only he was a bit gentler to her, no matter how little, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
A dead end.
