He was curious for a moment, but it wasn’t something to worry about for long. It was just a marriage of convenience, after all.
There was another reason why Do Jun, who was living well in the United States, had to rush to Korea.
As Do Jun let the hot water run over him, he recalled the incident from a month ago.
A month ago.
A mysterious document was delivered to Do Jun, who was running KK Entertainment well in the United States.
Secretary Choi, holding a document with no sender, entered the office and asked,
“This arrived for you, sir.”
“What is it?”
“I haven’t checked the content yet, but there’s no sender. It might be better to just throw it away.”
Normally, Do Jun would have followed Secretary Choi’s opinion, but strangely, he was curious about the contents inside that day.
Do Jun gestured for Secretary Choi to hand it over. Hesitating momentarily, Secretary Choi handed him the envelope without further question.
“Should I open it for you? In case there’s a razor blade or something threatening your life inside.”
“Haha, Secretary Choi, aren’t you watching too many movies?”
“I’m still worried.”
With a casual flick of his hand, Do Jun opened the envelope. When he shook it over the table, a single paper fell out.
Do Jun slowly picked up the paper, read the contents, and widened his eyes.
“……”
What came out of the envelope were several photographs.
Looking at the pictures expressionlessly, Do Jun let out an incredulous sigh.
“Interesting.”
“What are these pictures?”
Handing the photos to the curious Secretary Choi, Do Jun answered his question. Secretary Choi, holding the picture, let out a loud gasp.
“No, the woman in these pictures is……”
“My wife.”
“So why is she with another man……”
The photos contained images of Tae Yeon and a man, presumably her lover.
Tae Yeon, as soon as she left her newlywed home, briefly kissed a man and got into a car. The place the two arrived at was a hotel, and the two, unconcerned about the surrounding gazes, went into the hotel arm in arm.
That wasn’t the only photo. Tae Yeon came out of the KK Foods building and hastily got into that man’s car and disappeared. Again, the destination for the two was a hotel.
“It seems like she had some fun while wearing the gift I gave her.”
The woman in the photo was wearing the luxury brand ring that Do Jun had given her as a wedding gift. To anyone’s eyes, she was Tae Yeon.
The first thought that came to him when he saw the photos was a single one.
Who took these photos and sent them to him?
He didn’t expect Tae Yeon to be quietly in Korea, but confirming her affair with another man in this manner was not pleasant.
Secretary Choi asked Do Jun, who seemed lost in thought.
“What will you do?”
“Be very careful that this doesn’t reach Chairman Cha’s ears.”
“Yes, understood. I’ll burn these photos.”
“No, I’ll keep them.”
It was surprising. Do Jun, who he thought wouldn’t want to see it at all, carefully put the photos in his drawer and locked it.
After that, more photos of Tae Yeon visiting hotels with another man, hanging out at a vacation home, and so on were delivered.
When he was curious about who was sending these anonymous photos, a message was written on the note that came with the photos.
[In a week, these photos will be in Chairman Cha’s hands. If you want to negotiate, it would be good to come to Korea.]At first, he thought it was some crazy person’s act, but when a photo of Chairman Cha was also delivered, Do Jun had no choice but to decide.
He was sure someone wanted something from him and was threatening him with these pictures.
Although many people had a grudge against him, it was hard to pinpoint who among them might be the perpetrator. However, he concluded that if he returned to Korea and found the person lurking near his wife, he would easily find the blackmailer.
“Perhaps it could also involve my wife.”
He could trust no one. Especially his wife Tae Yeon who had provided such a pretext.
Chairman Cha had set a condition for handing over the KK Group, that was to establish a perfect and harmonious family. Therefore, he only had one choice to protect everything of his.
So, Tae Jun rushed back to Korea without looking back.
As soon as he heard that Tae Yeon was working at KK Foods, Do Jun decided his destination.
He planned to observe her and find out who was behind this threat.
((()))((()))((()))
After finishing his shower, Do Jun realized he had not brought clothes to change into after hastily wiping himself dry.
He was so used to living alone that he hadn’t thought to prepare.
He cracked open the door, intending to see if Tae Yeon was asleep.
“Are you not here?”
But the bed was completely empty. It felt strangely empty.
Emerging from the bedroom, Do Jun threw on a hanging robe and hurriedly went to the living room.
She wouldn’t have left the house because she was uncomfortable sleeping with him.
But that was a needless worry. On the sofa in the living room, he easily found Tae Yeon curled up and asleep.
“Are you sleeping?”
He called softly, but there was no response.
“Ms. Tae Yeon.”
“……”
She seemed tired, her eyes tightly closed, sleeping deeply. Her white face, without a trace of makeup, looked young enough to pass for twenty. She looked nothing like the woman in the pictures he had received.
“What is your real face?”
Rather, Do Jun was drawn to this innocentlooking face.
But that thought was fleeting.
The idea that all of this might be part of her perfect act didn’t leave him feeling great.
To get to know the real Tae Yeon, he planned to stick by her, whether it was at the company, home, or wherever she went. Very persistently.
Considering letting Tae Yeon sleep on the sofa, Do Jun bent his waist.
“If you don’t wake up by the count of three.”
He then quietly whispered in the ear of the sleeping woman.
“I can’t predict what I might do.”
