My Naughty Ghost: The Novel - Part 8 The Dark Secret of Kim Vineyard Hours passed before Secretary Choi finally convinced Sooyoung to leave the safety of the tree and escorted her back to the Kim vineyard, where the night would offer no comfort, only the cold realization that her mother was gone… The Kim vineyard, hidden beneath the shadow of Hallasan, was more than just a place for growing grapes. It was a place of ancient rites, where blood and wine were mixed to create an elixir of life—an elixir only the most privileged could afford. The vineyard's secret had been discovered long ago by Chairman Kim when he was a soldier, stationed on Jeju Island. One night, during a drunken patrol, a voice—what he now believed was a demon—whispered the truth of the vineyard's power into his ear. Driven by greed and ambition, he had butchered the vineyard's owners, spilling their blood into the soil.
