So much avoidance, yet Seorin’s anxiety became a reality.
“Seorin, shall we… get divorced?”
Initially a question,
“No… let’s get divorced.”
The next was conviction.
But it was strange. Taejoon, while uttering the harshest words and engaging in inappropriate actions, was doing so with utmost cruelty.
His squeezing voice swayed intensely, as if representing his agony. Even without seeing it, one could clearly discern the expression with which he uttered those words.
Moreover, his touch caressing her back was excessively tender. As if he were earnestly comforting her, shocked by her reaction.
All this irony was crystal clear even to a seven-year-old child.
But, divorce?

It made no sense. No, it was unbelievable.
Is this… a dream? It must be a dream, right?
“Sorry. After chasing you to the ends of the earth, saying I would only love you even if I died, to end it like this.”
It wasn’t a dream.
His trembling voice made her feel the harsh reality. Only now did a chilling coldness penetrate every bone in her body, more cruel than the nightmare that had taken her to hell.
“I… I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
Struggling to speak, her voice conveyed the story, and Taejoon remained silent for a while. An unbearable silence enveloped the two. It was a momentary moment but felt longer than eternity.
“Sorry. I wish I had enough reasons to convince you. But… I can’t.”
“I… love you.”
“I love you.”

“…”
“So, I want a divorce.”
An unbelievable irony from start to finish.
The lover’s words of parting because they love each other were nothing more than excuses and lies. But for some reason, sincerity could be felt in his words.
What could be the truth that he couldn’t tell her?
The reason they, who love each other, must divorce.
Seorin, who was usually confident and good at figuring things out, couldn’t even guess the reason this time.
If it were another man, the question would have been whether he had found another woman.
But it was none other than Kang Taejoon. Therefore, the affair was an unimaginable SF-level fantasy.
“Mr. Taejoon, I’m Baek Seorin. I absolutely can’t accept the idea of divorcing because of love. So… give me a reason I can understand. Okay?”

She spoke as she faced him, breaking free from Taejoon’s embrace.
As expected, his black eyes were almost consumed by an unimaginable agony.
“I want that too. But, Seorin… I can’t.”
Even the speechless Taejoon was devastated.
If he were to reveal the relationship between Chairman Baek and Oksun, what expression would she have?
Even imagining it was painful. She might be even more shocked than expected. Not to mention, she might live her entire life hating Chairman Baek and Oksun.
He didn’t want to leave the rest of Seorin’s life for her to live like that.
Wishing only for me to be the one lost.
So when time passes and passes again, I hope to forget someone like me and live a life that suits you.
I earnestly wish for that.
“Seorin, don’t ask for reasons… Can’t we just get a divorce?”

His tightly locked voice resonated in her chest.
It seemed as if he were speaking not from his throat but from his soul.
Was it because of that?
Pouring all his strength into that one word, he struggled to breathe for a while. As if unable to breathe properly, or as if the act of exhaling itself was painful.
This, from the start, was incomprehensible. No, it couldn’t be acknowledged.
Why should I suffer? Why should you suffer more than me?
The person who gave the final blow without warning was now gasping for breath as if he were about to die!
“Why… why… why are you in more pain than me?”
However, he never managed to answer.
It felt like a part of her life had flown away like scattered ashes.

Time passed without exception. And a cruel morning arrived.
Taejoon let out a small sigh.
Even though he hadn’t slept a wink, he didn’t know how the night had passed. Memories he wanted to forget remained vivid, but he couldn’t recall last night even though he hadn’t drunk.
How did Seorin react to the divorce proposal?
Yes, she didn’t cry. She didn’t get angry. She calmly responded, asking for understanding.
If only she had cried or expressed her anger, it might not have been this painful. But Baek Seorin didn’t do that. Instead, she comforted him, who couldn’t breathe properly due to the pain.
It felt like her heart was plunging into a deep abyss.
Then, the bedroom door opened, revealing Seorin, who had finished getting ready for work.
She was as seductive and flawless as usual.
“I’m heading to work.”

“Yeah.”
“Let’s talk again after I come back.”
At her words, Taejoon nodded slightly. Neither the one speaking nor the one listening wanted to go through that painful story again. There was no time for that.
“No, Seorin. Even if we talk again, the conclusion won’t change.”
At his words, her inscrutable black eyes beneath her long eyelashes shook slightly.
“So, should I get divorced without knowing the reason?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
