There was something odd, though.
“Why are you listed as ‘Eul’ (the second party) in this contract?”
In the contract offered by Lee Hyun, ‘Gap’ (the first party) was Yerin, and ‘Eul’ was Lee Hyun.
Yerin thought it must be a typo.
“Yes, I wrote it that way.”
“Why…”
“Because I’m in the position of pleading with Secretary Han.”
It was strange for Lee Hyun, always in a position of authority, to willingly take the role of ‘Eul.’
Mesmerized, Yerin read through the contract.
“Eul may engage in physical contact with Gap’s consent? What’s this about?”
“Just as it says.”
“Are we really going to hold hands? Or more?”
“Only hand-holding?”
Yerin’s eyes fluttered with disbelief.
Lee Hyun seemed just as shocked.
“Secretary Han, you said we’re practicing dating.”
“Yes, practicing.”
Lee Hyun didn’t see a problem.
“Secretary Han, we’re not elementary school students. Did you think we’d just sit and chat?”
Unfortunately, that had been her expectation.
Lee Hyun frowned slightly.
“Have you forgotten why I agreed to this pretend relationship with Secretary Han?”
“For when you meet the woman you lost, to act naturally in the relationship…”
“Knowing that, why hesitate?”
Yerin couldn’t understand.
Lee Hyun smiled and continued explaining.
“Imagine if I met that woman and kissed her. If my heart nearly burst with awkwardness…”
“Mr. Lee Hyun?”
It seemed unlikely. He was the same person who had pursued her like a wild beast on that impulsive night.
“Yes. Except for that one night, I haven’t experienced physical intimacy with a woman.”
Yerin nervously licked her lips, unsure how to challenge his apparent pretense.
Lee Hyun confidently pointed at the contract with his finger.
“That’s why I specified it: physical intimacy is allowed after mutual agreement and consent.”
“And if I don’t agree?”
“Then what?”
Lee Hyun seemed to ponder for a moment.
“Either I’ll make you agree.”
“What?”
“I’ll make it so that you can’t help but agree.”
“…”
“It’s a joke.”
Lee Hyun said it like a serious matter but then smoothly withdrew, as if it was all in jest.
“If there’s no agreement, obviously, I won’t do anything.”
Yerin couldn’t trust him completely.
Lee Hyun, confidently shrugging his shoulders, pointed to the contract with his chin.
“Looks like you haven’t read the clause below that one.”
Yerin had been so focused on the word ‘skinship’ that she hadn’t read the rest properly. Her gaze returned to the tablet PC.
“‘The first party can demand immediate termination of the contract if the second party breaches the agreement?'”
“Yes.”
This meant that if Lee Hyun initiated any physical contact without Yerin’s consent, it would be a breach of contract, and she could end their contractual relationship immediately. It was a perfect contract with a safety mechanism.
“The contract stipulates that you will continue to support my mother’s hospital and treatment expenses even after the contract ends?”
“Yes.”
“That seems too generous.”
“Not at all, in my opinion.”
The proposed dating period with Lee Hyun was six months. Even just receiving financial support for Chan-suk’s hospital and treatment costs during this period would amount to a substantial sum.
And to continue receiving support even after that…
“While we’re in this contract, I can’t see other men, right?”
“Yes, I’m aware.”
“If, during this time, a man appears whom Secretary Han might regret losing…”
“Yes?”
“You’d naturally want compensation for missing out on that opportunity.”
The chances of that happening seemed incredibly low.
“Think of it as a fee for your time. I believe even that is insufficient.”
Yerin couldn’t help but notice a resemblance between mother and son. Madam Yoon always seemed anxious to give more, and now Lee Hyun too was eager to offer more.
Refusing might even lead to him forcibly giving her a building in her name. So, Yerin nodded.
“Then, I’ll gratefully accept.”
“Good decision.”
Lee Hyun placed the stylus for the tablet PC next to Yerin.
“Is there anything else you want to request?”
“No.”
“Then, please sign.”
