Sajun chuckled, saying he should start calling her ‘Bread Princess’ from now on, but she just laughed it off, feeling free to accept things without the burden of friendship.
This newfound casualness made her feel relaxed, like she could let things slide easily.
Entering the suite room with Sajun, it was already late afternoon.
The long sunbeams piercing through the windows brightened the living room.
Standing by the window, looking at the clear blue sky, Taehui was asked by Sajun, “Want to eat the bread now?”
“I’m full. Maybe later.”
“Suit yourself.”
Sajun took charge of sorting the bread that needed room temperature and refrigeration.
As he headed to the kitchen with the paper bags, Taehui sank into the wide sofa, leaned back, closed her eyes, and basked in the warm sunlight.
The cozy feeling made time seem to slow down.
After a while, a gentle aroma of crème caramel wafted to her nose, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Sajun was sitting on the sofa with a steaming tumbler on the table.
Just the fragrance alone was enough to tell. The tea bag inside the tumbler was rooibos tea with added cream caramel flavor, a favorite of Taehui.
“Is this a coincidence, or did you make this knowing I like it?”
“You made it impossible for me not to know what you like.”
What had I done exactly?
Reflecting on Sajun’s response, Taehui pondered.
The misty flower was mentioned a long time ago, true.
But falling for cream caramel tea was a recent thing, and I had never mentioned it to Sajun.
As Taehui looked at him questioningly, Sajun chuckled lightly.
“You brought this tea every time you came here recently. And you always left it here when you left.”
“Oh… Sorry.”
“It wasn’t meant as a complaint.”
Sajun shrugged.
“You don’t drink herbal teas. Why did you buy this then?”
“It seemed like you liked it.”
Feeling as though I had heard something I shouldn’t, I couldn’t control my expression.
I couldn’t even ask why he’d kept something I liked, it would’ve sounded too strange.
So, Taehui silently took the tumbler, inhaling the sweet aroma of the tea.
Fixing his gaze on Taehui, Sajun spoke calmly again.
“What else can I do for you? Just tell me.”
A lie. You can’t fulfill what I truly want.
Real love isn’t that easy to declare.
It’s hard to even make eye contact, feeling like your heart might burst. Your body tingles with just a touch or a breath. Even trivial words spark hope.
Just like now, for me.
Swallowing the words asking for his love, Taehui asked something else.
“You asked about the terms of our relationship, right?”
“…”
“You just have to love me with all you’ve got, like you said. Not a light affair, but a serious relationship with marriage in mind.”
“Marriage, huh.”
Sajun murmured the word as if tasting something unfamiliar.
“It needs to be that serious to make Min Seontae, who scoffed at me, desperately jealous.”
“It’s not hard. But now that you’ve said it, I think there’s a better way.”
Sajun continued, his eyes and expression hinting at something unusual.
“Taehui, let’s not just date, let’s get married…!”
Taehui threw a sofa cushion at him.
Sajun easily caught it with one hand, but at least he was prevented from saying something absurd.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m only planning to cooperate for a hundred days.”
Marrying Sajun would mean tying myself forever to Min Seontae’s obsession.
Hanging on to his powerless position by selling out his son-in-law, using that house and land as hostages.
That’s why it was right to give up both right now.
Both Sajun and the house and land that Hyesuk desperately wanted.
Sajun will fade from memory over time. Hyesuk’s house and land, once Seontae gives up on me, could be naturally reclaimed later.
It was all a matter of patience, a matter for time to resolve.
“Just a hundred days?”
Sajun frowned, seemingly unhappy with the short timeframe.
“You said it’s to buy time. So use me as a shield for a hundred days while you think of other ways. You’re smart, Sajun. I’ll think too, watching Min Seontae squirm.”
In truth, Taehui already had another plan in mind, which was why she was willing to date Sajun.
But she had no intention of revealing it.
“I can’t accept your last condition. A hundred days is too short.”
“So you wanted to date me for life? Or were you really planning to marry me?”
“So, you were planning to date me for life? Or even really get married?”
“What can’t be done? I think I could even marry you, Min Taehui.”
Taehui wanted to challenge Sajun’s calm response.
What makes you different from Min Seontae, then? Do you think everything will be forgiven just by confidently offering the status of a wife?
Without giving love but preventing departure. That’s how to slowly torture someone with false hope, letting them wither away.
I wouldn’t want to live like that even if I died.
“Kang Sajun, I have my own life, you know? I don’t want to be your shield for a lifetime. I’m sick of Min Seontae too.”
With his characteristic gesture, Sajun lazily swept back his bangs and asked cynically.
“Just one question. Do you think it’s possible to go back to being just friends after kissing me?”
“Why can’t it be done?”
Taehui coolly echoed the words Sajun had said earlier.
“Wow, Min Taehui, that’s cold.”
Sajun murmured in disbelief.
But Taehui remained unshaken.
Kang Sajun, who thinks of marriage without love, is not just cold but cruel.
Amidst the stubborn silence, Sajun sighed deeply and spoke again.
“What do I need to do for you to continue dating me?”
I was about to firmly say that I couldn’t date him for more than a hundred days.
But a shameful desire to see Sajun yearning for me surfaced.
Reason and desire, right and wrong.
In the end, the choice was desire and the wrong.
“Be good to me, Kang Sajun.”
Love me, Kang Sajun.
Love me more than I love you, so we can start a real relationship anew.
“Who knows? Maybe after a hundred days, I’ll still want to date you.”
Looking at the friend who had now become a cruel love, Taehui smiled slightly.
“Can you do it, Kang Sajun?”
Suddenly, I was curious about what would happen after a hundred days.
Will you still be in love with me after a hundred days?
Even if it’s not love, will I be able to shake you up a bit?
And will I be able to leave you, whom I love, and go to France?

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
