A woman who had claimed to be his fiancée for twenty years, although they had never met face to face. He wanted to mock that unbearable audacity.
Kang Tae Seo, the head of Kang Sun Construction.
Externally, he was the only child of Kang Shin Jae, the chairman of Kang Sun Group.
His grandfather, Kang Sun Il, suddenly passed away when Tae Seo was three years old. Before closing his eyes, he left a will stating that the granddaughter of Jo Seong Hwan, chairman of Hyun Yang Construction who had passed away a month earlier, was Tae Seo’s match.
“Jo Seong Hwan bragged so much about his granddaughter, who was not even born yet, saying she would be very smart and beautiful like her mother. So, Tae Seo, you should not have a roving eye but grow well and bring that girl.”
His grandfather wished to keep his promise with his friend. His grandmother, carrying on that will, constantly emphasized that Tae Seo had a fiancée two years younger than him as he grew up.
Of course, he had no intention of listening to that. What time was it to trust only the adults’ promises and say that he would marry someone he had never met?
“You know it’s common in this field. Couldn’t Yu Ri have a hidden halfsister?”
“What are you saying…!”
“How do you know. That sister could be my real fiancée.”
Tae Seo did not miss the momentary sign of embarrassment that passed by Yu Ri, who was blushing in anger.
It was ridiculous and cheap. This woman who was imitating someone who was not even a real fiancée.
Taking someone else’s place.
Tae Seo already knew about his fiancée.
Initially, he started to find out what kind of place Hyun Yang Construction, which had arranged a marriage for me, was out of curiosity. Then, while studying at a university in the U.S., he became interested in corporate mergers and acquisitions.
While searching through several companies, he delved a little deeper into Hyun Yang Construction, for which he already had quite a bit of data. Then, he got tangled up in all sorts of things.
“Wow… Can the company operate like this?”
He had no intention of dismantling or swallowing Hyun Yang Construction. He didn’t want to get entangled complicatedly since it was a family he knew.
He didn’t even intend to become a soninlaw of that family; he just planned to watch the downfall of a company from the other side of the river.
Then, three years ago, while living in graduate school, he went to Bali to cool his head. There, he happened to meet a woman. And a few days later, Tae Seo found out that she was his real fiancée.
His feelings then.
Despite the ridiculous coincidence, he found himself strangely smiling more and more.
“She’s here? In the resort where I’m staying?”
Yes. Among the resort programs, there are yoga classes at ten in the morning, three in the afternoon, and five on weekdays. She works as a yoga instructor. Her name is Jane Yoon, her Korean name is Yoon Jae In. I will send the related information by email immediately.
A woman born six months earlier than Jo Yu Ri, known as the only daughter of Chairman Jo Dae Hoon.
A woman just two years younger than him, Yoon Jae In.
If he thought about the month she was born and the month Chairman Jo Seong Hwan died, he had the answer. No matter how much Chairman Jo Seong Hwan bragged, he couldn’t have bragged about his unborn granddaughter to his friend.
Moreover, it was said that at least 12 weeks of the fetus had to pass to know the gender of the baby in the womb. Therefore, Jo Yu Ri, who was born eight months after Chairman Jo Seong Hwan’s death, could not have been his fiancée.
She wouldn’t have been in her mother’s womb for nearly twelve months.
“What, it’s not a whale or a horse.”
“…Pardon?”
“No, nevermind.”
Tae Seo turned his head with a sullen expression towards Yu Ri, who was staring at him with wide eyes. And then he again filled his mind with the image of the woman.
Yoon Jae In.
She was a woman who captured attention with her dazzlingly white skin among people flaunting their tanned, healthy skin under the intense Bali sun.
Her jetblack hair contrasted beautifully with her porcelainwhite skin.
Her eyes, as black as her hair, were deep as if they would suck people in.
She rarely smiled. But when he saw her smile while mingling with children, Tae Seo experienced his mind going blank for the first time since he was born.
It happened the day before he received the report that she was his real fiancée.
She was the first woman Tae Seo had ever shown interest in. Maybe because of that, he confirmed the existence of his real fiancée several times and was somewhat captivated by the excited feeling for a while.
However, during his stay in Bali after receiving the report, he never once spoke to Jae In. He only watched even when a university classmate had a crush on her and hovered around her after signing up for yoga classes.
“Isn’t she really pretty?”
“What if she is? Do you want to get slapped in the face by her again to come to your senses?”
“You’re one to talk…… But why are you so uninterested in women? Tae Seo, just tell me. Do you like men……”
“Shut your mouth if you’re going to say something useless.”
Back then, Tae Seo was desperate to gain recognition from his stepmother. Therefore, he kept trying to pull back his gaze toward Jae In.
Regardless of his intentions, rumors that Kang Sun Group and Hyun Yang Construction would tie the knot had seemingly solidified into fact in the Korean business world. Therefore, getting involved with her, the illegitimate daughter of the Chairman of Hyun Yang Construction, would only be exhausting.
Moreover, Yoon Jae In herself had cut off ties with Hyun Yang Construction and was living her life. There was no need to disturb a person living happily, regardless of her biological father.
Yet, Tae Seo found himself frequently thinking of Jae In for a long time after that. Sometimes, he even came across the smile that used to make his head go blank in his dreams.
Still, he didn’t make an effort to seek her out.
Living unrelated to Hyun Yang Construction, that must have been what she wanted.
Therefore, even with Jo Yu Ri appearing in this position instead of his real fiancée, Yoon Jae In, the conditions for divorce had already been met.
Who dared to deceive whom?
“Right now, I’m just one of many halfsiblings, as you know. Do you know? The Kang Sun Group will break apart within a few years. We’ll bleed trying to have more than each other.”
As he mocked himself, he fiddled with the silver band of his watch.
There were a few more of his halfbrothers in various parts of the Kang Sun Group, a conglomerate that was within the top three in the business world.
“You may not know because you’ve been abroad, Tae Seo, but our country is not that openminded yet. After all, aren’t you the only one who can be recognized?”
“Recognized by whom? Oh, for your information, my father is equally cold to all his five children. He doesn’t have much intention of leaving his position to his legitimate children either.”
“But still… Children born out of wedlock cannot be dignified in front of the world.”
“With enough money, one can be dignified. You don’t know much.”
“Let’s not talk about that. Rather, about the wedding schedule…”
As he was leaning back in his chair, laughing and swirling his glass, Tae Seo suddenly leaned closer to the glass. It was when a startled Yu Ri, who had stopped talking, was taking a deep breath and admiring the man’s good looks.
“Hey, fake.”
Upon hearing the words that Tae Seo spat out casually, a crack appeared on Yu Ri’s face, which had been primped like a doll.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
