As Green sliced an apple, Hanna probed her like an interrogator.
Hesitating for a moment, Green sighed softly and confessed in a whisper.
“I actually, slept with Seonwoo last night.”
“What? You guys hadn’t slept together until now?”
Hanna seemed more shocked that Green and Seonwoo had only just now slept together rather than the fact that they did.
“No, Hanna! Wait, don’t say anything yet!”
Hanna immediately called Jenny.
“Jenny? It’s Hanna.”
“Snap out of it! Green slept with her husband last night.”
“That’s what I’m saying! I’m about to find out why it took them so long. If you can be here in 30 minutes, you can join in; otherwise, I’ll listen alone.”
Satisfied with Jenny’s decisive response, Hanna grabbed a beer from the fridge.
“Why are you drinking this early?”
“It’s just beer! I’m dying of curiosity, but I’ll wait for Jenny. Don’t stop me.”
“If you drink, I won’t say a word!”
Green, surprisingly resolute, forced Hanna to pause. Despite appearing easy-going, Green could be very stubborn, and even Hanna and Jenny combined couldn’t change her mind once she was set on something.
Green had a good reason for preventing Hanna’s early drinking. Right now, she desperately needed the advice of her clear-headed friends.
Jenny arrived in just 28 minutes and 30 seconds, hooded and seemingly indifferent, but clearly very interested in Green’s affairs.
Hanna didn’t hold back her praise for Seonwoo, her client.
“Your husband is extraordinary. I thought you were lost in the joys of newlywed life when he bought you clothes, shoes, bags, and even jewelry.”
Suddenly remembering, Hanna clapped her hands.
“Why did he buy you that dress with the thigh-high slit and the low back then?”
“Hanna, you pushed me into buying it!”
Green, still irked about being coaxed into buying an impractical dress, flared up again, but Hanna just playfully wrinkled her nose at her.
“Of course, I thought you two had already seen everything about each other. That’s why I encouraged you to get that dress. You’d never have been able to refuse it after seeing you in it.”
“Enough of that. Hangreen, tell us everything that’s happened, from A to Z. Don’t leave anything out!”
At Jenny’s stern demand, Green spilled every detail.
She recounted how they ended up spending the night together, how their fathers stormed in this morning demanding a divorce, and even what she and Seonwoo had said to defuse the situation.
Jenny and Hanna listened intently, especially impressed with the bold statements about club one-night stands and not discriminating in sexual encounters.
“Wow, you two really are a perfect match… Wow…”
Even Hanna, usually not one to mince words, admitted she wouldn’t have the courage to say such things in front of her father and father-in-law.
Jenny, who had been listening seriously, finally spoke up.
“What’s worrying you the most right now, Green?”
“Well, those were just words to avert the crisis, but what if Seonwoo really thinks I’m a woman with extensive experience?”
“What?”
Even Hanna and Jenny were speechless at such an unusual concern.
“Seonwoo said he’s curious and has no prejudices, so he doesn’t discriminate in his experiences. What if he likes that I’m a woman with a lot of experience and that’s why he doesn’t want to divorce?”
“Are you worried not because your husband might think you’re promiscuous, but because you’re not as experienced?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve heard all sorts of things, but never anything like this from Hangreen.”
Hanna flopped onto the sofa, looking utterly bewildered.
“You slept with your husband last night, right? Then he already knows you’re not that experienced. You can tell with just a kiss, you silly. Why worry about such unnecessary things?”
“Hey, I’m not completely inexperienced. I’ve had relationships and some physical intimacy…”
At Green’s retort, Hanna snorted loudly. Even Jenny, usually expressionless, let out a faint smirk.
“If you want to believe that’s a relationship, I won’t stop you.”
Chided by her friends, Green pouted. Jenny then casually threw in a comment.
“Green! Maybe your husband lied just to annoy his father, like you did.”
“I know. But what if it’s true?”
“Are you that concerned about disappointing your husband?”
Jenny’s offhand question hit Green hard, making her realize something she hadn’t fully acknowledged herself.
She had genuinely grown fond of Seonwoo. She was afraid of disappointing him for any trivial reason.
“Why are you blushing? Do you really like your husband that much?”
“…Yeah.”
As Green admitted her feelings, blushing, Hanna proudly patted her friend’s back.
“There you go, Hangreen! All grown up now! What do you like so much about him?”
“He’s kind, really listens to me, and he’s handsome.”
“And? Is he good at it?”
“At what, good?”
Feigning ignorance, Green avoided their gaze. Hanna, seeing right through her act, playfully smacked her on the back.
“Stop playing dumb when you know exactly what I mean, you sly thing!”
