KIM JIWOONG WAS AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD and recognized actor. He was known for his mysterious, cold image and his vampire-like visuals.

His specialty was thriller, action, and maybe perhaps romance (in BL, naturally).

Jiwoong's cold image was not just for acting. It was his lifestyle. Most people think that Jiwoong has been like that his whole life.

Only Jiwoong knows that he hasn't.

But as the man likes to say, "the past is in the past", and he's managed to hide that part of him deep inside where no one can find out.

Currently at the moment, he is silently staring at the newspaper, while sipping a cup of hot coffee in his spacious apartment.

BLOOM ISLAND, THE SMALL, BUT BEAUTIFUL ISLAND SOLD, THEORIES RISE TO WHO BOUGHT THE BEAUTIFUL, FAR AWAY GEM, the headlines scream out loud with enthusiasm.

Apparently this "small, but beautiful" island was being sold after a millionaire left it.

Jiwoong chuckled.

It was always pointless when reporters and journalists chased after such rumors to grab a reader's attention.

He puts the newspaper down on the table and grabs the thick pack of envelopes from the mail that he had set aside before.

...

Well, won't you look at that.

Bloom Island.
