Among the couples attending the gathering, Park Minkwon and Seo Jiwu were also present.
Even before the event, there were rumors circulating that Cha Taekyung, the CEO, would personally attend today’s gathering.
Naturally, the identity of the person he would bring as his partner became a topic of interest among the attendees, and Seo Jiwu was one of those who was very curious about it.
That is, until she found out that the person was Yoon Wooyeon.
“Jiwu.”
The moment Seo Jiwu saw Wooyeon, her pupils dilated.
It was the first time she had seen Wooyeon since secretly discovering a photo hidden in her husband’s study.
Despite several attempts by Wooyeon to contact her, Seo Jiwu had already declined meeting Wooyeon several times, citing busyness as an excuse.
It was too much to admit.
No, perhaps she already knew to some extent.
Her husband was unusually sensitive whenever the topic of Wooyeon came up.
Despite seeming displeased, she remembered her husband’s gaze, which occasionally pierced through when he looked at Wooyeon.
Now she knew.
The reason her husband reacted so sensitively to Wooyeon’s name was due to emotions similar to envy, regret, and jealousy—emotions she, as a wife, shouldn’t have towards her husband, who had an affair.
Seo Jiwu recognized herself and concealed her emotions from Wooyeon, who pretended not to know.
“Why are you here?”
“Well…”
“Could it be that you’re Cha’s partner today?”
“Yeah, that’s how it turned out.”
“Amazing, Yoon Wooyeon.”
“Since we’re having a meal, what’s been keeping you so busy lately? Are you doing well with your hospital visits? Are you not feeling unwell anywhere?”
“…”
Wooyeon, whom others describe as harsh, asked her with kindness and warmth.
Asking if she’s not feeling unwell.
Seo Jiwu lowered her eyes with a sinking feeling.
“Jiwu, let’s go somewhere quiet and talk for a moment.”
Wooyeon took Seo Jiwu’s hand and led her away. As they moved to a secluded place with few people, Wooyeon placed a hand on her waist, as if there was much to say.
When she sat Seo Jiwu on a bench, she began the heavy conversation.
“President Park… How is he doing?”
“Well. He’s doing well.”
“Is he still treating you well?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, then.”
Even as she said it, Seo Jiwu noticed the slight furrowing of Wooyeon’s brow.
This wasn’t a usual greeting, but a genuinely concerned expression from Wooyeon.
This was a sign.
There had been continuous inquiries from her husband about Wooyeon’s news recently, and the sudden suggestion to go somewhere quiet for a talk was also unusual.
No way. Did he find out?
Seo Jiwu looked up.
“Wooyeon.”
“Yeah.”
“Did you happen to see something?”
“…”
Seeing her struggling to respond, Seo Jiwu became certain.
A chuckle escaped her.
Why did it have to be Yoon Wooyeon? How much did I like Yoon Wooyeon?
“Why, is it all Yoon Wooyeon?”
The person her husband liked and the one caught in the act of having an affair.
Why does it have to be you for everything?
Seo Jiwu silently examined the sparkling diamond pearl earrings hanging on Wooyeon’s ear, caught by her ears.
Even at a glance, she could tell. It was a product from T, a brand everyone knows, with the radiance and brilliance that can only be found in top-grade diamonds.
It was the earrings she saw at the luxury store she hesitated to buy because they were too expensive.
A strange mix of jealousy and selfishness tormented her. She didn’t want to truly hate Wooyeon, but once the emotions started to flare up, it wasn’t easy to suppress them.
“……Hey, Wooyeon.”
“Yeah, speak. I’m listening.”
The gaze reflected in the air from Seo Jiwu’s eyes was pitiful.
“What you saw. What you witnessed. Can you just forget it?”
“…”
“Everyone has their own life. You know that too.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“What you wanted to say. The story you wanted to tell me for the past few days. I know who I am. I know, but… I don’t want to hear it.”
“Jiwu.”
“It’s my life. It was the marriage I chose.”
“…”
“Please don’t interfere.”
Wooyeon slowly nodded.
Inyoung, who had been watching the two from a distance, blinked her eyes dozens of times.
A while ago, she had sent a message to Taekyung. Along with thanks for purchasing another painting, she expressed her desire to buy him a meal this time.
The only response she received was a brief acknowledgment that he would contact her next time. His reaction was cynical.
She hadn’t contacted him anymore, afraid of becoming clingy, especially since she had just gotten married. She never imagined that Wooyeon would come out as his partner here.
How could Wooyeon be in that position?
‘Just stay next to Director Kim. Don’t attract attention, act properly.’
Just before the event, Chairman Cho had given instructions. As always, Inyoung was not supposed to draw attention.
So she moved quietly. Like a still life in a painting, she barely breathed and crouched down.
“What, what’s that?”
Inyoung replayed the scene she had seen in her mind several times.
