“Where is Mugyeong staying? I know, hmm. People say you shouldn’t interfere in a couple’s fight, but I should repay the favor with this.” Baek Sujin laughed loudly and told me that Baek Mugyeong was at the Carva Hotel. She sent me a phone number in a message and said that if I contacted that number after arriving at the hotel, a staff member would guide me to Baek Mugyeong’s room. I thanked her and headed for the Carva Hotel. A middle-aged male employee guided me to the room and even opened…- 281.3 K • Completed
- The day dragged on. Only a few hours after I came back from meeting Baek Jinseok, my biological father contacted me. His voice came through the phone starting with “You, you bastard,” full of anger. I anxiously headed to the main house late in the evening. Jeong Guhyeon was not in Korea, and my stepmother was out, so I went straight to my father’s study without facing the people I disliked. “Did you call me?” “You!” As soon as I bowed my head in greeting, my father jumped up…

- “Yes, I see. Mugyeong-ah, what is the real reason you want to divorce?” “Grandfather?” “Don’t give me the nonsense excuse that your personalities don’t match. You have to tell the real reason before I decide whether to allow it or not. Isn’t that right? Since the bride is here, don’t lie.” I got goosebumps. He didn’t call us here just to confirm whether we would divorce. He called us to ask the reason in front of me. That was just like Baek Jinseok, cautious and…

- Baek Jaehan was a powerful man. If he took a dislike to you, life would become hard in one way or another. You had to keep your head down and watch his mood until the very end. “Then, has Mugyeong ever behaved unusually?” Baek Jaehan was persistent. He didn’t give up and kept questioning. I swallowed a sigh, feeling an ominous hunch that this meeting would drag on. *** “Mugyeong-ssi?” When I came home after dinner, the first thing I saw was Baek Mugyeong’s car parked in one…

- “Mugyeong-ssi?” I moved to follow Baek Mugyeong with a bad feeling. He was still releasing violent pheromones, but I had no choice except to chase him. I felt like something big would happen if I left him alone. Sure enough, he was not going upstairs to the second floor. He was at the entrance putting on his shoes. “Are you going out now? Last time you did this, there was an accident. A truck hit you…” I could not finish what happened. That day Baek Mugyeong was hit by a truck and…

- When I thought again of the word confession, shivers ran down my back. At the same time, my face burned hot. “Ugh….” I could not help but groan. After letting out a pained sound, I gulped down the cocoa. The sweetness cleared my head again. I knew it, but there was no need to confess right away. Nothing had changed in the plan. We were still in the stage of flirting and getting to know each other. My heart tingled and began to beat fast again, and the corners of my mouth wouldn’t go…

- The man with a gaunt and gentle face resembled the Baek family so much that even a stranger could tell he belonged to them. His eyes were sharp too. But that was because of drugs. According to Baek Yeongseop, he lost money gambling and he also used drugs. “My name is Baek Gyeongbin. My grandfather’s name is Baek, Jingyun, and he is Chairman Baek Jinseok’s younger brother.” As I remembered, Baek Gyeongbin revealed his name and then recited his connection to Baek Jinseok. People turned their…

- She said something, and Baek Mugyeong quietly listened. “……” I almost told her to back off. Baek Mugyeong was someone who never let people he disliked get close. But right now he was being too kind, not like him. No, correction. Baek Mugyeong was being polite, the same as usual. I did not like that. “Don’t you get jealous?” “What?” “Never mind. You still don’t get it. You saw it too, right? Mugyeong-hyung is really popular. A face like his is really rare. If he looks…

- I held back from looking around to see where Baek Jaehan was. The conversation just now reaching Baek Jaehan’s ears was only a matter of time. The people who heard Baek Jinseok’s bombshell remark all started chattering. They told Baek Mugyeong to hurry and give the chairman a great-grandson, to hurry and get the gifts, and to work hard at night, showering him with encouragement and advice. I could not say here that we had decided not to have children. Baek Mugyeong seemed the same, he did not say…

- The family room had only the two of us. Because it was far from the kitchen, the view was blocked. But my heart raced like I was doing something bad. It had not been long since I started truly getting to know Baek Mugyeong. Compared to the early days of marriage, the change was dramatic, like heaven and earth. The atmosphere between us had shifted. This was much better than watching each other’s moods, being wary, and sharpening words. Even so, when he suddenly closed the distance like now, I was…
