However, based on the words dropped by Ms. Park, it was clear that the cause would be on this Jo Min Hyung.
In less than ten minutes, So Dam came with the tablet and recited the reason for the divorce.
“He is said to have cheated, Jo Min Hyung.”
“Where did you find it?”
“It was a rumor circulating at the time. Because of it, the stock price of Haeyang Shipping fell slightly. But it didn’t take long to return to normal.”
Tae Joon snatched the tablet So Dam was looking at and read the article directly. Seeing him reading seriously, even gathering wrinkles on his handsome forehead, So Dam looked at him as if he was pathetic.
“Don’t you think he looks pathetic?”
“What?”
“I mean, she’s not a girlfriend anymore but a wife who even registered for marriage, the pitiful appearance of the exhusband digging into his wife’s past man. That’s exactly what it looks like to me.”
So Dam subtly teased, but he didn’t seem to care.
Instead, Tae Joon returned the tablet to So Dam and turned his gaze to his laptop to start searching for Haeyang Shipping.
The name that had strangely bothered him had now become a fierce grudge after knowing its identity.
Okay, Director Park. But what if, since it’s a marriage to be done, she meets another guy like Jo Min Hyung?
It may not be all because of his affair.
Tae Joon skimmed through the materials of Haeyang Shipping and gathered wrinkles on his forehead again.
Seo Rin, who was usually frugal in expressing her emotions, casually spat out the name Jo Min Hyung as if talking about someone else, but if Director Park, who was working as her closest aide, caused such an allergic reaction, he must have been a very bad guy.
Besides, the phrase “What if she meets another guy like Jo Min Hyung?” would not be forgotten.
It should never have happened, but one could not guarantee human affairs.
“Secretary Shin, find out about Haeyang Shipping.”
In the end, she decided to learn more about Haeyang Shipping.
It wasn’t bad to be careful in advance.
“Executive Director, we’ve arrived.”
At the voice of Director Park digging into her ear, Seo Rin slowly lifted her closed eyelids.
Director Park quickly got off and opened the car door, but she couldn’t get off right away and looked up at the apartment building.
A faint light seeped out from her apartment, which should have been off as expected.
It meant Tae Joon was home.
An unfamiliar emotion started to churn in her stomach. They were a couple who had only completed the marriage registration without a wedding, but they were still a couple. Plus, she had made a firm promise to Tae Joon.
If you stand by my side for life, I’ll do everything like other couples. If necessary, even a bed. But that’s it. Don’t expect love.
Why did she have to say that?
Probably, the words came out first due to the guilt of not being able to give him the one thing Tae Joon desperately wanted.
But it’s something she couldn’t take back now.
Seo Rin got off the car, sent Director Park off work, and silently got on the elevator. The elevator, which she usually hardly noticed, felt incredibly fast today.
The time it took to ascend from the ground floor to the top floor was just enough for a single sigh.
Arriving at the entrance in the blink of an eye, she exhaled a small sigh with a tense face.
What to do.
She had no idea how to face him once she entered.
Of course, before they broke up, she practically lived at his house. So it wasn’t her first time living together, but she didn’t know why she was so unusually tense.
Maybe Tae Joon’s intentions had worked too well.
The weight of the marriage registration process was heavier than she had thought.
Not lovers, but a married couple.
Not a boyfriend, but a husband.
Now, she couldn’t unilaterally turn her back and say no.
She felt that she had been completely entangled with him.
She could no longer stand outside like this, just staring at the door, so she pressed the door lock password. The alert sound that came out each time she pressed a number seemed to resonate longer than usual in the empty corridor.
Finally, the door opened.
On other days, the sensor would turn on in the dark entrance and she had to enter a command for the light to come on, but today there was no need.
The unmistakable trace of a person had already warmed and cozy the surrounding air.
She took off her shoes and entered, shedding her jacket in the middle of the spacious living room and looking around. However, she couldn’t find Tae Joon’s shadow anywhere in this space.
“Is he in the room?”
Seo Rin went into the bedroom with her jacket and bag. Judging by the fact that the light wasn’t on, he didn’t seem to be in the bedroom either.
“Is he upstairs?”
Well, he might have things to sort out. He had moved his belongings today through his secretary, but given Tae Joon’s tidy personality, he might be reorganizing everything with his own hands.
So, just as she was about to step onto the first stair to go up to the second floor, she heard a sound from the bathroom in the living room. When she went closer to the bathroom and listened carefully, she could hear the sound of water.
“He must be taking a shower.”
A sense of relief washed over her at the thought that she had finally found where Tae Joon was. Because she had been on edge, not knowing when or where he would appear.
“I should take a shower, too.”
She was desperate to relax in the warm water.
She took off her clothes, went in, removed her makeup, and as she received the warm water spouting from the shower all over her body, she finally felt like her complicated feelings were being washed clean.
For now, she decided to put off thinking about the child. It wasn’t an immediate issue, and she harbored a faint hope that she might be able to persuade Tae Joon after sufficient discussion.
After finishing her shower, Seo Rin roughly dried her body with a large towel, then naturally left the bathroom and headed for the powder room.
Having finished her shower, her clean mind made her steps lighter. Moreover, she could momentarily let go of the tension of being with Tae Joon.
Right, what’s the big deal about getting married? Maybe she was overthinking it too much.
After all, they had experience dating, so it wouldn’t be much different.
With that selfhypnosis to herself, when she arrived at the powder room, she remembered that she had forgotten to put the hairdryer she had used in the morning back in the bathroom drawer.
“Look at me. The hairdryer.”
Seo Rin carelessly stopped and turned around.
But then, a strange yet refreshing body fragrance brushed past her nose and stopped her in her tracks.
She looked up.
Seo Rin couldn’t breathe until she was caught in the gaze that looked down at her, passing over the muscular chest and abs blatantly exposed over the white towel, and over the broad shoulders.
The mind that she had just calmed down a while ago saying, “It’s nothing,” was futilely scattered.
Her mind went blank. Along with it, her racing heart seemed to burst out, threatening to break her ribs.
While stepping back, she instinctively clenched the end of the towel that had been wrapping her body.
However, such a defensive action posed no problem to Tae Joon.
When he swiftly closed the distance and reached out to touch her hand that was gripping the towel with his long fingers, the strength that had been tightly held was involuntarily released.
“Why are you so shocked? We’ve already seen each other’s everything.”
The voice that was annoyingly ringing.
The unrealistic visual that twisted her gaze.
She wished it was a dream,
“I said I would come at six. I waited.”
But marriage was a dreadful reality.
