Sun Woo, who had been quietly frowning at Green who seemed unable to cope with the awkward situation, suddenly began to rummage through the closet urgently, as if something had occurred to him.

He was in such a hurry that the closet drawer fell to the floor with a loud noise. Fortunately, Sun Woo found a t-shirt and training pants.

“I prepared them in advance for when Young Gi occasionally comes to sleep over. They’re the biggest among my clothes, but for now, please wear these.”

Relieved, Green put on the clothes Sun Woo gave her, but her face fell again. The t-shirt came down to her thighs, and the pants were too long, with the elastic waistband sliding down.

Seeing Green buried in the clothes was both awkward and incredibly cute to Sun Woo. It was severe.

“I think it might be better to just wear the t-shirt. Since both of them don’t know much about women’s clothes, they might think it’s a mini dress.”

At Green’s words, clinging to a faint hope, Sun Woo, judging there was no other way, nodded.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

Green took a deep breath. Then, hand in hand, they went out to the living room.

Sun Woo came out of the room with Green hidden tightly behind his back, and looked at the fathers with an undisguised displeased expression.

“What brings you here at this hour?”

Sun Woo, who had hastily put on just his pants, was fully exposing his broad shoulders and muscular upper body. As if trying to cover Green with his body as much as possible, he squared his shoulders even more proudly to face the adults.

Jin Young Cheol and Han Moon Taek were also taken aback when they actually faced the two.

“You, you two, what do you think you’re doing?”

“You’ve come?”

Green, who was peeking out from behind Sun Woo with just her face showing, was wearing only a large t-shirt that clearly belonged to Sun Woo, and her hair was not even properly arranged.

Knowing all too well what she looked like right now, Green’s face had turned as red as a tomato.

“Is that how you greet your elders! This is why proper home education is important.”

Jin Young Cheol, who was displeased with Green from head to toe, dismissed Green and Han Moon Taek as a set. Sun Woo then countered.

“No matter how much it’s your son’s house, isn’t it more rude to enter without permission at such an early hour?”

“What did you just say?”

Jin Young Cheol was even more displeased with his daughter-in-law because of Sun Woo’s attitude of protecting Green.

“Please sit down. I’ll bring something to drink.”

As Green hurriedly went into the kitchen, Sun Woo followed.

“Hup!”

Green was so surprised at the state of the kitchen that she covered her mouth with her hand.

The table strewn with empty bottles and glasses was one thing, but Sun Woo’s robe and her pajamas on the floor were too blatantly showing their actions from last night.

“What should we do? Do you think they saw everything?”

“Probably?”

Green quickly ran and picked up the pajamas, stuffing them into the laundry basket in the utility room. Sun Woo also straightened the fallen chair and picked up the robe from the floor.

Green prepared some goji berry tea and rice cakes for the angry fathers, hoping it might cool them down a bit.

After she served the tea and rice cakes and sat down, Sun Woo naturally covered Green’s knees with his robe.

Han Moon Taek and Jin Young Cheol heaved a big sigh.

A situation impossible to ignore even if they wanted to! Judging by their actions and looks, the two had clearly spent the night together. And quite passionately at that!

“Did you two really sleep together?”

“What’s the big deal about a married couple sleeping together? It’s not like it’s adultery.”

At Sun Woo’s calm retort, Jin Young Cheol gritted his teeth.

“Are you in your right mind? Didn’t I tell you that I’m going to file your divorce papers as soon as the court opens in the morning?”

He roughly waved the divorce papers in Sun Woo’s face.

Han Moon Taek was equally frustrated. Green, who had said she had never slept with Sun Woo, had chosen to consummate the marriage just when divorce talks were in the air!

But what could be done about spilled milk! Han Moon Taek wasn’t the type to dwell on past events. He was busy searching for the most advantageous card in the current situation.

For a moment, a cunning smile flashed across Han Moon Taek’s face. It was after the calculator in his head had already done a round of calculations.

“We married when it was necessary, and it would be right to part ways cleanly now that the need is over, but this changes things, doesn’t it, Assemblyman?”

“What do you mean it changes things? What kind of scam are you trying to pull this time?”

“I’m hurt that you say it like that. If he took Green’s first time when divorce was imminent, young Jin should take responsibility as a man.”

At Han Moon Taek’s sudden words, not only his daughter Green, but also Sun Woo and Jin Young Cheol were surprised. Talking about ‘first times’ seemed so anachronistic in this day and age.

“Are you saying we shouldn’t divorce and should continue living as a couple?”

Han Moon Taek then clicked his tongue as if frustrated.

“Young Jin, is that the only way a man can take responsibility? There’s also the simple method of financial compensation. It’s commonly called alimony!”

Green’s body trembled with shame. She felt so foolish for having briefly hoped that her father might be opposing the divorce for her sake.

“Father, please stop!”

Jin Young Cheol’s face also turned red with anger, no less than Green’s.

“You swindler! You expect me to believe it was her first time at twenty-seven?”

“Do you know how strictly I raised our Green? She’s never even held hands with a man until now. If you touched such an innocent girl, you should compensate her at least with money!”

“Is your daughter the only virgin? My son was a virgin too. He’s been so obsessed with work, he’s been as cold as a stone towards women. Your daughter touched my son, so you should pay us alimony too.”

When Jin Young Cheol countered with the same alimony argument, Han Moon Taek snorted.

“Assemblyman Jin, please speak sense. A man at thirty-two, with that body, that face, that ability, and my daughter was his first? Even a passing dog would laugh at that.”

The low-quality conversation between Jin Young Cheol and Han Moon Taek gradually crossed the line, and Sun Woo watched his father and father-in-law with cold eyes. Measuring how to get revenge to feel satisfied.

“I have something to say to both of you!”

At that moment, Green raised her hand high and interrupted the conversation between Jin Young Cheol and Han Moon Taek. She judged that this method was the best way to end this miserable situation, even if it was a bit embarrassing.

“Um, Father, I think you’ve misunderstood, but I’m not a virgin.”

“Wh-what? Han Green, what are you saying right now?”

Han Moon Taek was visibly flustered at Green’s bombshell declaration. Jin Young Cheol’s expression became proud, as if to say ‘I told you so’.

“I’ve been on two blind dates before, pushed by Father. I slept with those men while dating them briefly.”

“Wh-what?”

“When I was preparing for the college entrance exam and job hunting, the stress was too much, so I went to clubs with friends and had one-night stands three or four times.”

It was already shocking to hear that she had experience with men, but when Green mentioned one-night stands, Han Moon Taek’s face turned ashen. Surprise and contempt also spread across Jin Young Cheol’s face.

On the other hand, Sun Woo, who had been quietly watching Green, had a strange look of admiration and respect flash across his face.

“Hearing Green’s words, I guess I should gather courage too.”

“Jin Sun Woo. Keep your mouth shut.”

Jin Young Cheol instinctively sensed something ominous and tried to stop his son from speaking. But Sun Woo smiled a bit awkwardly and said what he had to say.

“During the year I was in France, I didn’t just live in celibacy.”

“W-well, that’s possible for a man. Yes, of course it’s possible.”

Jin Young Cheol hurriedly shielded Sun Woo. Then Sun Woo continued speaking challengingly, as if daring him to try this too.

“Since I’m quite curious and unprejudiced, I didn’t discriminate based on nationality, skin color, occupation, religion, or even gender…”

“Shut up, Jin Sun Woo!”

Unable to bear it any longer, Jin Young Cheol got extremely agitated and finally flipped over the living room table.

With a loud crash, as the objects on the table flew in all directions creating a hostile atmosphere, Green flinched in fear. Sun Woo quickly moved to block her.

Han Moon Taek, realizing there was nothing more to gain from this household, hurriedly spread out the divorce papers.

“Come on, the longer we talk, the uglier it gets for everyone, so let’s finish this quickly. Green, just sign here.”

“Who are you to say that! Jin Sun Woo, you sign too. I’ll have Secretary Kim submit it to the court.”

Just as the fathers were working together again to hurry the divorce paperwork, Sun Woo suddenly grabbed Green’s hand.

“We’re not getting divorced.”

“What nonsense is this now?”

Jin Young Cheol’s eyes flashed with fury. With so many families in Korea’s political circles desperate to catch Sun Woo, he couldn’t tolerate his son ruining his future like this.

But Sun Woo ignored Jin Young Cheol’s words.

“From now on, we’ll get to know each other gradually.”

Sun Woo intertwined his fingers with Green’s slender ones. Then he smiled sweetly.

Jin Young Cheol, who had only seen his son’s always expressionless face, was shocked at the diverse range of expressions he witnessed on his son’s face for the first time in his life.

Han Moon Taek also turned to his daughter Green in disbelief and asked.

“Green, surely not, right? You remember everything I told you, don’t you?”

“Sun Woo is right. Today is our day one!”

Though she answered Han Moon Taek, Green’s eyes were on Sun Woo. It was a gaze of perfect understanding of each other’s hearts.

“It’s almost time for work. Don’t you have an appointment too, Green?”

“Huh? Oh, yes. Hannah said new shoes came in and asked me to come early to take pictures.”

As they say, if you throw a punch, there’s a counter, even though Sun Woo threw an unplanned lie, Green caught it skillfully.

He naturally took Green’s hand and stood up. Sun Woo glanced at the clock and suddenly frowned.

“Ah, there’s a meeting called by the vice chairman in the morning, I might really be late if I’m not careful.”

Though he muttered as if to himself, the words ‘meeting called by the vice chairman’ flew and struck Jin Young Cheol’s ears.

He had a feeling his wife wouldn’t be pleased if she found out he had come to Sun Woo at the crack of dawn to pressure him into getting divorced.

“Green, please help me get ready for work. I think I’ll be late at this rate.”

“Yes, Sun Woo.”

As if to show off, Sun Woo held Green’s hand tightly. And he stuck close behind her to shield her from their fathers’ view as they entered the master bedroom.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, an extremely awkward atmosphere flowed between the two.

“We’re late, right? You go ahead and shower first, Sun Woo.”

Green quietly withdrew her hand and offered Sun Woo the use of the bathroom. Usually, Sun Woo would have gone to another bathroom, but it was awkward to go out now because of the two fathers in the living room.

“I’ll shower as quickly as possible and come out.”

While Sun Woo was showering in the shower booth, Green started brushing her teeth in front of the sink to save time.

Sun Woo’s silhouette, faintly visible through the opaque glass, stimulated strange imaginations, but thinking of Jin Young Cheol standing firm in the living room, she could quickly subdue such lewd demons.

“Green, could you pass me a towel…”

Sun Woo, who had finished showering as quickly as possible, came out with water still dripping, wrapping the large shower towel Green handed him around his waist.

The lewd demon raised its head once again, but Green regained her composure by thinking of Jin Young Cheol and Han Moon Taek as a set, and hurriedly entered the shower booth.

When she came out after showering, Sun Woo had already finished preparing for work. Green also finished getting ready to go out at the speed of light, packed her camera bag, and went out to the living room.

“We’re leaving first. If you’re staying longer, please just make sure to close the front door when you leave.”

“I’ll be going first. See you again.”

Green bowed slightly to Jin Young Cheol and hurriedly followed Sun Woo.

“Huh? Sun Woo, aren’t we going to the underground parking lot?”

Sun Woo, who had been worried about being late just moments ago, headed towards the apartment management office instead of the underground parking lot.
