“Ah, I’m tired. I should go home if I want to wake up early tomorrow.”
Surprised, Da Eun pushed him away nonchalantly and spoke to herself loudly as if acting.
Yu Kwon looked at Da Eun with narrowed eyes.
“Are you playing with me?”
“Of course not.”
Da Eun shook her head and spoke again.
“But are we really going to live in Hyanglimjae?”
“Why, does it seem difficult?”
Yu Kwon asked as he pulled Da Eun into his arms and kissed her neck.
Myung Il, who had promised to give Yu Kwon Myung Il Foods if he married within the year, suddenly changed his words.
He added the specific condition that Yu Kwon and Da Eun must come and live in Hyanglimjae.
In exchange, he said he would advance the succession of Myung Il Foods as much as possible.
So it was right for Yu Kwon to enter Hyanglimjae.
“No, I like it.”
“You like it? Why?”
His eyes were full of thoughts. However, Da Eun gave a simple answer.
“The food is delicious.”
Yu Kwon laughed in disbelief.
“Is that all?”
“It’s important to me. And being alone in the same space all the time is a bit…”
Yu Kwon raised one eyebrow.
“A bit what?”
“Burdensome.”
On the day of the family meeting. Da Eun opened a door leading to the backyard while looking for the bathroom.
Yu Kwon was on the phone there. She didn’t mean to eavesdrop.
Even though she only heard Yu Kwon’s side, she could guess the content.
He was talking to his aunt, and it seemed his aunt was involved in his parents’ fatal accident. And even his grandfather knew about it.
After returning home from the family meeting, Da Eun searched for articles about Yu Kwon’s parents’ accident.
She learned that Yu Kwon was the grandson of Myung Il Group from the news that broke when he suddenly returned to Korea after leaving for America. Until then, neither Da Eun nor her classmates knew.
Even though it was just an article with words and no pictures, she felt a pain pressing on her chest.
June 20.
Da Eun found her diary from 8 years ago in a locked drawer.
June 20. The only day with nothing written.
Yu Kwon didn’t show up at the amusement park, and the next day she received a reply telling her not to contact him anymore.
Da Eun checked her work diaries from last year and the year before.
Every year on June 20, Yu Kwon took a day off for personal reasons.
This year was the same.
Not knowing Yu Kwon’s circumstances, she felt foolish for thinking it was a failed first love or bad fate.
She wished he had said something to her then, wondering if she had meant so little to him.
But that’s all in the past now. After such a long time, they’ve come together again, so she decided to bury the past as just the past.
From now on, she resolved to help him as his supporter. To move like a shadow so he could achieve what he wanted safely and quickly.
Thinking it was no different from what she had been doing so far, she felt more at ease.
And there must be a reason Myung Il called the two of them to Hyanglimjae. He might be suspicious of Da Eun and Yu Kwon’s relationship. That’s why she decided to go to Hyanglimjae even more.
“It’s really late. I’m going, I called a taxi so don’t come out and rest.”
She wanted to be a useful supporter, more than just a contract wife.
That was the emotion Da Eun had defined.
Da Eun, who left Yu Kwon’s house as if running away, pressed the elevator button.
Just as the doors were about to open, Yu Kwon came out of the entrance and grabbed Da Eun’s wrist, pulling her towards him. Da Eun’s eyes widened as she was suddenly pulled.
“Tell me.”
“What?”
“Do you dislike being alone with me?”
“…No, that’s not it.”
Only then did Yu Kwon smile with satisfaction and kiss her.
“Then today, let’s stay together.”
Is this how it ends up?
Da Eun was dumbfounded. Still, she didn’t pull away from him.
.
.
.
In the end, Da Eun fell asleep in Yu Kwon’s arms. When she woke up to the alarm, dawn was breaking.
You’re more of a model student than me. Pretending to be a fake couple to this extent. It seems so real.
Da Eun quietly looked down at the still sleeping Yu Kwon.
Eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips. There wasn’t a single part that wasn’t handsome.
Today I become this person’s wife. Without realizing it, she brought her finger to his long eyelashes.
Ju Ri’s words came to mind again. She tried not to mind, but the truth was that a corner of her heart felt uneasy.
“You’ll be discarded anyway when that woman returns.”
“Why, do you like it?”
Yu Kwon mumbled with his eyes closed, having felt Da Eun’s touch at some point.
“If you’re awake, why are you pretending to sleep? Let’s go quickly, it’s our wedding day and we can’t be late.”
“Just five minutes.”
He trapped Da Eun in his arms. Her body relaxed languidly at the now familiar scent.
“We really can’t…”
“We couldn’t do it yesterday, let me make up for it like this.”
Da Eun strongly refused, saying they had to get up at dawn.
“I won’t let you off today.”
Yu Kwon was more excited about the wedding night than the ceremony. Of course, he was curious about how Da Eun would look in her dress.
Da Eun went alone to choose her dress, saying there was no need to go together since it was just a procedure and she would choose what she wanted.
“I’m excited.”
“About what?”
“Everything.”
Yu Kwon gently kissed the forehead of Da Eun, who would soon be his wife.
[This is the timeline separator]Da Eun was sitting on the sofa in the bridal waiting room, wearing her wedding dress.
She thought she wouldn’t be nervous since it was her second time, but she was even more nervous. The dress, makeup, and bouquet were all perfect, but she felt uneasy.
As acquaintances came and went one by one, it gradually sank in. I’m getting married again.
At that moment, she felt a gaze staring at her from the entrance.
It was a woman with long black hair reaching her waist. The woman who looked like a porcelain doll stared at Da Eun for a long time. Without any expression.
The woman just stood still as if she had no intention of coming in. She exuded a strange atmosphere.
“Who is that? A guest from senior’s side?”
As Da Eun was also staring at her, trying to remember.
“Hey, Song Da Eun!”
Hee Ju’s voice was heard.
“Oh, you look pretty.”
Hee Ju approached. When Da Eun looked back towards the entrance, the woman had already disappeared.
“Jun Won can’t come because he has something urgent.”
“I thought so, I couldn’t reach him either.”
“You understand.”
Of course she understood.
Wasn’t he the one who hosted her first wedding and even hit Young Hoon?
“Today, the venue, the flowers, and you are perfect. So let’s take lots of life photos.”
Da Eun’s heart swelled at Hee Ju’s words, reassuring her that it was different from then.
“Thank you.”
“Yeah, be happy.”
.
.
.
After Hee Ju left, it was soon time to enter.
Da Eun opened the door and took a step out.
Yu Kwon was waiting in front. When he saw Da Eun, he stared blankly as if surprised, then smiled lightly as she took his arm.
She was reminded of walking down the wedding aisle alone on her wedding day with Young Hoon.
Unlike then, now she was walking side by side with Yu Kwon as a one-year bride.
Suddenly, she felt envious. Of the woman who would one day take this man’s side.
[This is the timeline separator]It was just an hour-long wedding, but it was exhausting. Going around greeting acquaintances after the ceremony was even more tiring.
The two fled onto the plane as soon as the ceremony ended. When she closed her eyes for a moment and opened them, they were in Jeju Island. By the time they arrived at the hotel, the sunset was already fading.
Unlike Da Eun who was excited to visit Jeju Island for the first time, Yu Kwon looked somewhat uneasy.
“You’re anxious, right? Because you can’t work.”
“No.”
“Someone said it’s the most foolish thing to be anxious while resting. Play when it’s time to play, work when it’s time to work.”
“What bastard said that?”
“The 23-year-old Cha Yu Kwon.”
“That’s a wise saying.”
Da Eun burst into laughter as she entered the hotel room.
“Why is there only one bed in such a big hotel?”
It was a bed big enough to fill an entire bedroom. The intention was too transparent.
She had been lenient so far, but not today.
Yu Kwon led Da Eun straight to the bed.
They didn’t go all the way, but Yu Kwon pushed Da Eun to her limit. The more he did, the more sensitively she reacted. Her body’s changes were clearly felt at just a touch.
Finally, it ended with her letting out an excited voice. She even felt a sense of regret without realizing it.
“I need to wash up.”
There were countless pins in her hair, firmly fixed with hairspray. It was an ultra-strong hairspray that wouldn’t come out with just one wash.
Since she usually went around almost bare-faced, her made-up face felt stuffy.
“Shall I do it for you?”
“No! Absolutely not.”
Da Eun strongly objected, thinking he meant to wash her body. Nevertheless, Yu Kwon took a step closer to her.
Whether Da Eun flinched or not, he stood behind her. He removed the pins one by one that she had tried to pull out but gave up on.
Da Eun lowered her head, embarrassed by the unnecessary misunderstanding.
His gaze lingered on her white nape.
The image of Da Eun wearing the wedding dress was vivid before his eyes. She was incomparably prettier than when she wore a dress at her wedding to another man. To the point where he wanted to preserve it in his eyes.
Yu Kwon thought he understood why he had been so obsessed with marriage. He wanted to see Da Eun shining brilliantly by his side.
Yu Kwon kissed Da Eun’s nape. He liked even the soft skin and slight trembling.
“Thank you, for my hair.”
Da Eun turned her head and murmured.
“I’ll go wash up.”
.
.
.
While Da Eun was washing up, Yu Kwon checked reports on his tablet. Then he leisurely showered in the opposite bathroom.
When he finished showering and came out, Da Eun was already asleep.
He regretted not finishing work earlier and coming out to shower sooner.
The ends of Da Eun’s hair were wet. She seemed to have collapsed without realizing it, overcome by sleepiness. It made sense she would be tired after getting up at dawn to prepare.
Yu Kwon picked up Da Eun, who was curled up like a shrimp on the sofa. She had buttoned her pajamas up to her neck as if afraid someone would eat her, and was covering even that with her arms. It was so like Song Da Eun that it made him laugh.
Yu Kwon carefully laid Da Eun on the bed and sat beside her.
Just being in the same space made his body ache.
Yu Kwon forcibly suppressed his squirming desire and looked down at Da Eun’s sleeping face. Even her exhaled breath felt sweet.
