Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 68

“Thank you so much for inviting us to such a prestigious occasion.”

“Thanks to you, Director, I feel like I’ve gained a whole new perspective on art. Truly, this has been a meaningful time.”

The venue for this gathering of , comprised of wives from elite chaebol families, was the Kang Seon Art Center.

Director Im’s tea parties were famously exclusive, inviting only a select few—so it was extraordinary that ten people had been invited all at once like this.
