Min Woo’s gaze moved to the plastic bowls placed on the table behind Se Ah.
“You ordered food again? I quickly get tired of eating outside.”
“Well, I just… I was too lazy to cook so I ordered, luckily the taste was decent.”
Min Woo took off his coat and led Se Ah to the living room where they sat down.
“Did you have a meal with your parents today?”
“Yeah, my father suddenly called me.”
“Was that woman there too?”
“Yes, he said he had something to talk about.”
“What did he say?”
‘Should I not tell her that Ji Yeon is going to start coming to the office?’
Min Woo briefly considered while looking at Se Ah, who was interrogating him sharply, but eventually decided not to say anything.
“Just this and that. It was nothing big.”
Se Ah wanted to ask more in detail, but she held back and tried to keep her voice soft.
“So, we can only divorce after six months? We really can’t do it before that?”
“Yes. Please endure a little.”
“……”
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“I understand.”
Se Ah rested her head on Min Woo’s shoulder and let out a small sigh.
“But, Min Woo, I have a question.”
“Hm, go ahead.”
“Before… before we broke up, you said, even if you married that woman, you would only live as a married couple for one year. After that, you would divorce her without hesitation.”
“……”
“So, I thought you would have already divorced that woman.”
The words that followed did not come out of Se Ah’s mouth, but it seemed to Min Woo that he could hear them.
Then why are you still together like this?
Min Woo could only pull Se Ah closer and hug her tightly, he couldn’t answer her words.
Three years ago.
Min Woo brought up his marriage story, trying desperately to persuade Se Ah in any way he could.
“Se Ah, please endure just for a year. I promise I won’t share a bed or room with that woman. We’ll just be a couple in name only, no different from roommates. I promise! No matter what happens after a year, I’ll break up right away. If you want me to write a pledge, I can do that too!”
“If I don’t seize this opportunity, I’ll be completely excluded from the succession structure. Se Ah, please! Please save me!”
At Min Woo’s absurd words that would make anyone flabbergasted, Se Ah shook her head with an expression full of wounds.
“Min Woo, this… this doesn’t make sense. How can I stand the fact that the man I love is marrying another woman? Would you understand if I lived like that with another man?”
“I know I’m a bad guy. I know, but can’t you understand me just this once? You know better than anyone how I’ve lived my life, Se Ah.”
Min Woo strongly embraced Se Ah, who was crying without even wiping her constantly flowing tears.
“You… you love me. The man you love… should be successful.”
“Why are you so cruel to me.”
A firm and welldeserved position within C&C.
It was Cha Min Woo who had set that as his goal and lived his life aiming for it.
That’s why for almost a lifetime, he had made a bloody effort to get into the eyes of Chairman Cha Seung Jo.
Even though he was a child and son just like his other halfsiblings, he was discriminated against just because he was a child born out of wedlock, and Chairman Cha knew Min Woo’s weakness and used to shake him.
‘You have no other way to enter the succession structure,’ said Chairman Cha, mincing his words, and Min Woo had no choice but to accept.
However, not long after Min Woo’s marriage was discussed, Se Ah disappeared and Min Woo regretted his decision for the first time.
As if she had never existed in this world, she vanished without a trace.
Her oneroom apartment, her mobile phone, the place where she worked.
There was no sign of her anywhere.
Cha Min Woo, who had been frantically searching for Se Ah for a while, regretting every single day, did not eventually give up his scheduled marriage to Eun Ji Yeon.
As he had told Se Ah, he married Eun Ji Yeon and for a while, he gritted his teeth only thinking about the divorce to happen after a year.
‘This is the opportunity you grasped, Cha Min Woo, even letting Se Ah leave! Just one year, only one year.’
But isn’t it said that time is a cure?
As time went by, he found himself slowly getting used to living with Eun Ji Yeon, without even realizing it.
It was not that he came to like Ji Yeon, but rather, she tried her best in every way while working, and she was good at everything she did, so Min Woo didn’t particularly have any complaints, which was perhaps more accurate.
Such time piled up layer by layer, and before he knew it, three years had passed.
After several days of contemplation, Ji Yeon finally decided to go to work at C&C.
It was the result of repeated concerns while focusing entirely on her career and dreams.
“Please take a look at this guide, which contains detailed information on what I just explained. The urgent documents such as resumes, certificates of experience, and copies of your bankbook have already been submitted, so please submit the remaining documents to our team when you are ready.”
On her first day at C&C, Ji Yeon’s heart was racing more than ever as she received the orientation from the HR team.
She was even more excited than she thought, realizing how long she had been waiting for this moment.
“Hello, I’m glad to see you again, Chief. I look forward to working with you.”
Ji Yeon first met the chief of the team she was assigned to.
Although Ji Yeon’s resume was delivered to HR through Chairman Cha Seung Jo’s instructions, HR believed they had received the resume from an internal recommender within the company, not Chairman Cha.
Therefore, Ji Yeon went through the same interview process with the chief as any other regular hiring process.
Of course, even if Ji Yeon received bad feedback from the interview, Chairman Cha Seung Jo would have intervened, but luckily that was not the case.
“Thank you for coming so quickly even though we requested you to join us urgently after the interview. For a while, I plan to hand over my work to you. I count on you.”
The chief introduced Ji Yeon to other team members and led her to her seat.
“I’m sorry to drop a bomb of work on your first day, but the ad that the predecessor was pushing is about to be filmed, so understanding the work is urgent. I heard you’ve done a lot of commercial shoots working in the marketing team at your previous company. Is that right?”
“Yes, I’ve been heavily involved in ad planning, so I don’t think this part will be difficult. If you give me the materials, I’ll quickly get a grasp on it.”
“Section Chief Eun, your answer is reassuring.”
The chief laughed out loud, seemingly satisfied with her cool response.
For several days, she received numerous materials from him and checked each one carefully.
Although each company had slightly different processes, they were generally similar.
‘Can I adapt well after taking a few years off?’
However, Ji Yeon, who quickly adapted and became familiar with her work enough to forget her concerns, didn’t realize how time was flying as she focused on understanding her work in the company atmosphere she hadn’t experienced for a long time.
Even amidst her busyness, there was more vitality on Ji Yeon’s face than ever before.

“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.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
