Lee Hyun followed Yura’s expressionless back in silence. He wanted to ask if it was really necessary to bow so respectfully to Se-jin, but he kept quiet, knowing he had crossed the line.
What should have been trivial escalated rapidly, and his rationality snapped. The thought of her alone with Se-jin was intolerably unpleasant.
Descending to the narrow parking lot, Se-jin’s secretary awkwardly bowed his head. Yura nodded briefly and looked around for her car. When she asked about it, Hyun replied that he had asked his secretary to take care of it.
Resigned, Yura gestured towards him. “Then you drive.”
“Jin Yura.”
As she headed to the passenger seat, Hyun softly called her name. Yura paused, eyes closed as if suppressing her emotions, then calmly replied without looking at him, “Not here.”
After driving for a while and eventually coming to a halt in a traffic jam, Hyun spoke calmly to the still silent Yura.
“Jin Yura.”
“You weren’t wrong in what you said. But it was inappropriate.”
“Inappropriate…”
Hyun mulled over her last word. It was accurate, but hearing it made him feel a sting in his throat, like swallowing strong liquor. Criticism from anyone else wouldn’t have mattered, but coming from Yura, it felt acutely bitter.
Yura couldn’t understand Hyun’s reaction. They were just a couple in name, but to an outsider, it would seem like he truly cherished his wife. And for Se-jin, it must have been quite offensive.
Regardless of her feelings, it was inappropriate for Se-jin’s personal practice space to be interrupted by her husband, especially without notice.
“Such a reaction wasn’t like you, oppa.”
It was the first time she had seen Hyun display such raw emotion.
As they drove in silence, Yura pondered over Hyun’s heightened emotional state, full of questions and confusion. He needed her as a shield, a partner who wouldn’t waste time or indulge in needless emotional play. That’s why he proposed this contract marriage to her, a long-time friend’s sister with whom he had a certain rapport.
Despite knowing about Se-jin, Hyun’s sharp response confused her. Could it be that he harbored feelings more significant than mere fondness?
The passionate intimacy they shared might have contributed to this illusion. The affectionate touches and burning passion seemed to represent his feelings.
Lost in thought, Yura frowned as the car suddenly stopped. Looking around for a possible accident, she found they had just pulled over abruptly. Confused, she turned to Hyun, who asked with a narrowed gaze, “Doesn’t it bother you, him hitting on you like that?”
Yura painstakingly revisited the nonsensical words Se-jin had spat out earlier. His oppressive demands, urging divorce…
None of what Se-jin said was insignificant. Yet, Yura found herself in a position where she had to endure and be patient.
Without the backing of the representative, she couldn’t just overturn the situation. Especially with Argon lurking around, looking for any gap to exploit, Yura had to persevere. She didn’t want to reveal her vulnerable side, so she responded as calmly as possible.
“He’s just a nuisance like any other.”
“And what will you do if this spreads to the media?”
Yura was at a loss for words for a moment. She hadn’t overlooked that aspect.
But she was taken aback by his anger deviating from her expectations. The hope that he might have developed feelings for her seemed foolish and absurd, making her face flush with embarrassment.
Briefly, as she realized the reason behind Hyun’s anger, an odd emotion surged within her.
“So that’s why you were so angry?”
Her voice, laden with irritation, resentment, and even a bit of sorrow, made Hyun frown.
“What are you trying to say?”
Yura, suddenly feeling a headache as intense as a ringing in her head, rubbed her temples and avoided Hyun’s gaze. She feared facing him might reveal her tumultuous, complex feelings.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Yura took a deep breath, still avoiding looking at Hyun, and added,
“I appreciate the public display of affection, but I’d rather you not infringe on my territory like that.”
“Why is that territory infringement?”
Hyun, who usually clung to Yura’s words, seemed even more agitated today, flipping her insides.
“Would you be okay if I harshly criticized your business associates?”
“I don’t mind.”
“Oppa!”
His unwavering, firm response made Yura’s voice rise. Hyun spoke decisively, showing no change in expression.
“It doesn’t matter to me. Even if your criticism ruins some deal.”
For Hyun, not dealing with those Yura criticizes was simple. Whether it’s a construction project worth hundreds of billions or more, it didn’t pose a problem. If there’s a loss, it can be compensated. It might take some time and be bothersome, but not difficult.
The challenge for Hyun wasn’t a failed business deal, but deciphering the enigmatic feelings of Jin Yura.
His resoluteness stirred Yura’s emotions. Frustration and disdain blended with her feelings, unable to be suppressed.
