There are many reasons why the fruit of love can be shattered, but one of the most common ones is:

An affair by one of the two.

“You, what exactly is your reason for not wanting to divorce?”

If Hee Joo had an affair, Jae Min would have mentioned the man and questioned her.

So it’s not Kim Hee Joo’s affair. Then is it this man’s affair?

Chae Won stared at Jae Min.

“Do you think anything will change just because you’ve transformed your image like this?”

Judging by her confident questioning demeanor, it doesn’t seem to be that either.

Or is he just an incredibly shameless guy?

“Ah, arguing is just wasting breath. Forget it, just stamp the seal quickly.”

…I wonder, what was the reason Hee Joo, who had agreed to meet at the court, couldn’t bring herself to do it and left home.

“I told you, the divorce is on hold.”

“What are you trying to do, why keep living together when we’re not compatible?”

Ah, so in the end it’s about personality differences?

But Hee Joo left home crying and wailing over just that kind of story? Even if Kim Hee Joo is weak, that seems lacking somehow.

“How can a married couple always be perfectly compatible? It’s about adjusting to each other.”

As Chae Won placed her slender wrist on the table and smiled slightly, Jae Min blinked in confusion.

Jenny, who had been staring at Chae Won with a blank expression, finally managed to speak.

“Unnie, your watch and ring and clothes… I mean, where did you get all of this? You shouldn’t have any money since you spent your allowance from oppa, so where did these things come from?”

Chae Won’s gaze drifted to the short-haired woman. After staring at her for a long time as if examining her, Jenny opened her eyes wider.

“What, why are you looking at me like that? It’s making me uncomfortable.”

“Are you… the sister-in-law?”

“Oh my… Oppa, it seems unnie might have hit her head somewhere after leaving home!”

Thinking that such a story wouldn’t be bad, Chae Won nodded.

“Yes, let’s go with that. I guess you can just think of it as short-term memory loss or something.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“I may not remember some things for a while, so please understand.”

As they stared at each other with blank expressions, Jae Min leaned away from his chair and said,

“Did you really have some kind of accident? Is that why you’ve become a different person like this?”

“Yes, so until I remember properly, our divorce is on hold.”

Since it wasn’t wrong, Chae Won nodded lightly.

“Oh, and I need to work too, but it’s too far to commute from here. So let’s be a weekend couple for now.”

“What do you mean weekend couple?”

“It’s unfortunate, but we have no choice.”

“I’m not saying this because I’m disappointed!”

“Yes, I’ll make sure to visit often, not just on weekends, when I have time, so you can keep that in mind.”

“What are you saying!”

“So for now, let’s think about what family means to each of us.”

One way or another, it’s just a matter of buying time until Hee Joo wakes up.

Chae Won stood up and said,

“I’ll say it again, but if you change the password, share it with me. If I can’t get in again, I’ll bring a forklift to tear down the door and come in.”

“Oh my goodness.”

As Young Ja gasped and opened her mouth, Chae Won met her eyes and said,

“You understand, right?”

As Chae Won prepared to leave, a different luxury handbag from before appeared in her hand, causing Young Ja and Jenny’s eyes to widen even more.

“Mom, it looks like unnie got proper compensation after the accident!”

“That’s right. Now it all makes sense, she got mentally affected by the accident! And she’s covering everything in luxury goods with the compensation money!”

“I’ve written down the changed door lock number here for reference, so I’ll see you on the weekend.”

As Chae Won turned around, Jae Min, who had been sitting dazedly, quickly followed her out.

“Hey, hey! Aren’t you going to stop?”

When Chae Won stopped walking and turned around sharply, Jae Min, who had been walking quickly, stepped back in surprise.

After blinking several times, Jae Min soon gathered his wits and furrowed his brows.

“I don’t know what kind of trick you’re trying to pull, but I’m never living with you, we’re definitely getting divorced! So!”

“If you’re like this.”

Chae Won moved her red lips with a dangerous smile.

“It strangely makes me not want to give you a divorce even more.”

Jae Min’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared at her lips with a dazed expression.

“Then I’ll see you on the weekend,”

Jae Min watched with a stunned expression as Chae Won slipped her slender feet into high heels.

Leaving a slight smile for him, Chae Won disappeared with a cold sound of the door closing.

“Ha, what’s with her……”

His innocent wife had reappeared as an ultra-strong crazy person.

Jae Min stood in the empty entryway where she had left, confused for a long time.

The middle-aged woman in a suit next to Lady Kim Bok Rye lowered the paper she was holding and said,

“This concludes the conditions for Lady Kim Bok Rye’s gifts and inheritance.”

At the same time, the family members sitting on the sofas facing each other quietly sighed.

Everyone was racking their brains trying to figure out how to adjust the difficult conditions somehow.

“Mother-in-law. Even though my husband is older, telling him to go to university at this age is…”

“Shut up!”

Everyone shrank their necks at Lady Kim Bok Rye’s shout.

“There’s no age limit for learning. Second son, if you were so irresponsible in your youth that you couldn’t even go to school, go study now! Don’t think you can just coast through the company!”

Choi Pal Do, who would have to start by taking the high school equivalency exam at 55, tightly closed his eyes.

“Mom, even if that’s the case for the second brother, I’ve always been obedient to your words, so why…”

“That’s the problem with you!”

“Grandmother! Grandmother, I’m… I’m about to marry Jenny and was preparing to take over father’s company, so why suddenly a business plan!”

“Wait a moment. Mom! Don’t do this, let’s think about it one more time, we…”

“Shut up, you brats!”

Everyone bowed their heads at Lady Kim Bok Rye’s loud voice once again.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want to receive even a little of my assets, bring me your report cards! Otherwise, I’ll donate everything to society and die!”

“No!”

Everyone clasped their hands and wailed.

Among them, Yoo Gun, who was sitting with a tired look, felt a short vibration and took out his phone.

It was a message from his personal secretary.

“Yoo Gun, you’re lucky. She says she’ll give you the house in Seongsu-dong if you date, and about 15% of the assets if you marry. Where else can you find such easy conditions?”

Yoo Gun’s gaze lifted again as his younger uncle Choi Pal Do complained.

“Then do you want to switch with me?”

“Shut up, you brats! Switch what, you bastard!”

Everyone lowered their eyes as Lady Kim Bok Rye shouted with a trembling voice.

“If you all understand, then go home now!”

Lady Kim, leaning on her cane, turned around with unsteady steps.

Yoo Gun quietly lowered his gaze among the relatives who were sighing heavily.

He wasn’t interested in the 15% of assets promised if he married, but the offer to give him the Seongsu-dong house if he dated that woman obediently for a month wasn’t a bad condition.

However, there was just one thing that bothered him.

“Ah, I told you to go home, why are you following me in!”

Lady Kim, who had entered the room, sat down on a cushion with the help of Butler Gong.

“Please correct one thing.”

“What.”

“I can’t meet every day.”

“Ah, why can’t you meet every day?”

“You yourself recently talked about how busy that doctor’s job is. It’s quite rude.”

“That’s why you should go visit her whenever you can to see her face. You need to see each other often to develop feelings.”

Lady Kim once again doesn’t consider how busy her grandson is.

So he emphasizes once more.

“I’m busy too, grandmother.”

“If you’re that busy, skip dating and get married.”

Faced with this solid wall, Yoo Gun quietly worried.

“And don’t worry, you two are destined to meet every day.”

“How can that be?”

“You’ll find out soon, so just know that. Oh, and don’t forget to take pictures every time you meet and send them to me.”

It was a condition that completely disregarded the other person’s wishes.

Looking at the Chinese character screen behind Lady Kim, Yoo Gun opened his mouth.

“That doctor might not like having her picture taken.”

“She likes it. I saw that doctor’s many photos on that Ins-something or Rins-something.”

The image of Butler Gong sitting close by and eagerly swiping through photos immediately came to mind.

Admiring Lady Kim’s thorough preliminary investigation, Yoo Gun smiled bitterly.

Yes, even if they somehow got along and took pictures with her who liked having her photo taken, there was still a problem.

“Still, every day is difficult. As a businessman, I have my own circumstances.”

“I’m telling you, you’ll end up meeting every day just by walking a few steps!”

What, is she telling him to use some kind of teleportation technique now?

“This is crazy.”

“What’s crazy! A young man acting up in front of his grandmother. Stop talking back and date that doctor! It’s fine to skip everything and get married too. That’s how everyone did it in the old days. That’s how I married your grandfather.”

Just as the Joseon Dynasty love story was about to begin, Yoo Gun quietly cried out.

“Lady Kim.”

“Shut up, you brat. Nothing bad will come from listening to your elders! If you hate it that much, I can just give the Seongsu-dong house to Ho Tae, so do as you please.”

Haha.

Now he’s so dumbfounded that he’s about to laugh like a madman.

Finally letting out a laugh, Yoo Gun was driven out and returned to his car.

After having a business call with his personal secretary and suppressing his fatigue, he parked in the underground parking lot, when a familiar-looking woman got out of a blue Porsche.

“…No way.”

The black dress clinging to her body, pointed shoes, wavy voluminous hair revealing sparkling earrings, red lips speaking into a phone held to her ear.

It was clearly her, Kim Chae Won.

Staring at her back as she walked ahead on the same path, Yoo Gun gradually tilted his head.

2nd floor, 8th floor, 15th floor, 27th floor.

Watching the numbers slowly rise, Yoo Gun…

“Huh.”

He let out a dry laugh as he saw the numbers stop at the 32nd floor, the same as his.

The neighboring apartment that had been empty all this time seemed to have someone move in a few days ago.

Lady Kim’s words about being able to see each other every day just by walking a few steps also crossed his mind.

“This time you’re trying to set us up properly, our Lady Kim.”

Yoo Gun admired her grand plan as he got on the elevator.

Well, since there are several apartments in Lady Kim’s name in this building, it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange if the parents agreed.

Arriving on the 32nd floor, Yoo Gun placed his hand on the door lock and opened the door.

Tired, he carelessly tossed his car keys onto the sofa and was loosening his tie when the doorbell rang.

Turning his head, Yoo Gun headed to the entrance with an annoyed look.

“Hello, I’m from next door.”

The person on the intercom was Chae Won.

She wouldn’t be bringing rice cakes at this hour, so she must need some kind of help.

Thinking about how to face her, who would know nothing of the situation, Yoo Gun soon opened the door.

“Hello, it’s nothing else, I just wanted to borrow a chair…”

Chae Won soon recognized Yoo Gun and froze.

After staring at each other for a while, Yoo Gun spoke first.

“I was wondering who had moved in next door, so it was you, Chae Won-ssi.”

Yoo Gun pretended as if he hadn’t known at all.

After all, he needed to get along well with this woman somehow.

“Ah.”

She looked very surprised, now she would probably say something like this.

How amazing, who would have thought such a coincidence was possible, maybe it could even feel like fate.

“It seems, the expectations of both families are bigger than I thought.”

As expected, she’s a quick-witted woman.

If she had reacted by saying how they could meet like this, he was thinking of giving her a romantic look, relying on the idea of fate.

“I guess so.”

Yoo Gun had no choice but to admit it honestly.

As Chae Won’s eyes drifted down to Yoo Gun’s shirt with a few buttons undone, Yoo Gun also stared at her face.

Her eyes, which had unhesitatingly looked at his body as if scoring him, straightened again.

“Since it’s come to this.”

Since it’s come to this, let’s have a cup of tea and talk, or let’s try to get along well.

Now that she knows the families’ intentions, will she try to live up to those expectations?

Since she looked at his body for a long time as if evaluating, she might show an appropriate level of interest.

“I’ll borrow comfortably. Can you lend me a chair? I’ll use it quickly and bring it back.”

Yoo Gun’s face froze for a moment.

She was a woman who kept going against his expectations.
