When the door opened, there was Do-jun’s longtime friend Tae-ho standing outside. Holding a bottle of soju in one hand, Tae-ho stepped into the suite room with a lively demeanor.
“Thanks for coming to the flea market I hosted last weekend.”
“It’s nothing. I couldn’t stay long, so I apologize for coming out.”
The two men poured the soju brought by Tae-ho into straight glasses and downed it in one go.
Tae-ho, recalling the first time he saw Tae-yeon that day, nodded with a smirk.
“It seems like you’re captivated by Tae-yeon.”
“When did I…?”
As Do-jun was about to retort, he stopped. Tae-ho’s expression was surprisingly accurate. Whenever it involved Tae-yeon, he was always on edge.
Tae-ho, neatly placing the emptied straight glass with a clink, asked, “He says he wants to consult about something.”
The reason Do-jun called Tae-ho here today was precisely this.
Do-jun cautiously spoke, “Didn’t Arin mention divorce stories a while ago?”
Tae-ho had also experienced a strained marriage, and his wife Arin had demanded a divorce at one point. At that time, Tae-ho seemed to have a tough time and spent a considerable period, but now, it seemed like their married life had recovered into a sweet relationship.
Tae-ho laughed heartily. “When was that?”
While he said that, his eyes seemed to get dizzy just thinking about it.
“It was the darkest period of my life.”
“Can I ask how you overcame it?”
Tae-ho, with his hand on his chin, fell into deep thought. Eventually, his mouth opened.
“She suddenly handed me divorce papers.”
Do-jun listened carefully to Tae-ho’s words, preparing himself in case Tae-yeon was preparing to leave him.
“Did you not notice anything before that? Any signs?”
“None at all.”
“Ah…”
“So, it was even more surprising.”
Tae-ho sighed deeply, seemingly unable to express the ordeal even in his imagination. “There were some misunderstandings between us. I put a lot of effort into resolving them.”
Do-jun’s eyes deepened at the mention of misunderstandings. If Tae-yeon had her own circumstances unknown to him, he couldn’t anticipate or deal with the situation.
Tae-ho cautiously asked, “Hey, why are you asking this? Are you, by any chance, getting a divorce?”
“No?”
Do-jun sighed as he removed the misunderstanding. “It’s about my friend, not me.”
Upon hearing this, Tae-ho smirked. “Friend?”
“Yeah, my friend.”
“You don’t have friends other than me.”
“…”
A slight irritation crossed Do-jun’s face at the direct question. Confirming the change in his expression, Tae-ho erased the playful tone and became serious.
“Sorry, I thought you were joking. So, why are you asking about your friend?”
“No, his wife…”
Not knowing how to express it, Do-jun hesitated for a long time. Eventually, he disguised the story he heard from Tae-yeon as a friend’s story and disclosed it.
“What do you think?”
“Sorry. I thought you were joking. So, why your friend…”
“No, it’s his wife…”
Not knowing how to express it, Do-jun hesitated for a long time. Eventually, he disguised the story he heard from Tae-yeon as a friend’s story and disclosed it.
“What do you think?”
Tae-ho’s expression was not good.
“Why are you silent?”
“Hey, clearly convey it to your friend.”
“Uh.”
Tae-ho swallowed saliva and spoke.
“Seems like my wife will present divorce papers soon.”
“…”
“Prepare yourself firmly.”
It was even more confusing to hear such thoughts from Tae-ho’s mouth.
Tae-ho patted Do-jun’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.
“Hey, but you don’t have to worry too much.”
“What do you mean?”
“You and your wife seem fine.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Oh, well. If your friend and his wife have a good relationship, it might work out.”
With a confident face, Tae-ho spoke.
“It can be overcome more easily than you think.”
“Huh?”
“When the time comes, everything is already arranged. Don’t worry.”
Although it was a meager consolation, it made Do-jun’s heart even more uneasy.
“Also, maybe your wife, no, your friend’s wife may not really want a divorce.”
“Huh?”
“External factors can lead to presenting divorce papers. Like me.”
Yeah, Do-jun had also not overlooked this thought.
Tae-ho, with a firm voice as if reading Do-jun’s mind, stated conclusively.
“Before receiving divorce papers or anything like that, find that factor first.”
“…”
“If you solve that, there won’t be any problems.”
Thus, the issue of Do-jun, or rather Do-jun’s friend, seemed to have an ambiguous and uncertain conclusion.
On a lazy weekday afternoon at KK Food’s office.
Since Do-jun was away on a business trip, everyone was working with a more relaxed attitude than usual.
While everyone was busy with their work, only Shirak remained focused, observing Taeyeon’s face intently.
‘I should try threatening.’
Now that she knew about the inappropriate relationship between Do-jun and Taeyeon, she wondered how Taeyeon’s face would change if she told Taeyeon’s overseas husband about it.
If she could hold both Taehyun and Taeyeon, she might gain something substantial.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
