The body leaned forward, and the small hand, caught in the massive hand, was pulled up by a strong force with no chance to escape.
Most of Eunseo’s sole left the ground, naturally becoming tiptoes.
The direction of the palm was his face, to be precise, his intensely dark, profound gaze.
Somewhere that emitted a considerable warmth.
Although it was a gaze without emotion, a decidedly steady breathing, without any hesitation, it felt oppressive.
“You’re hurt here too. Haven’t you received treatment?”
There was a wound on the palm. Unless closely examined, it wouldn’t be noticeable.
“…I applied medicine. It’s sufficient.”
“You’re not good at listening. Or maybe you don’t care about yourself.”
At the end of the frozen gaze, the enlarged pupils slightly recoiled, and Taeha released his grip on Eunseo’s hand. The body that had barely supported itself with the tiptoes trembled.
“Excuse me.”
After the greeting, Taeha passed the tray, turned his back without any lingering feelings, and said, “Kwon Taeha!”
This time, it was Eunseo who called him.
Turning his body, he asked, “What is it?”
“I’ve thought about it. I want to correct this situation.”
“How?”
Eunseo tightly grasped the tray, her hands turning white, and said resolutely, “I want to file for annulment.”
The answer didn’t come quickly.
Whether it’s okay, expected, or perhaps the answer that he himself should be the one to say something like ‘annulment’ first—it seemed like such an answer was waiting to pop out.
Instead, he calmly looked at Eunseo and leisurely swept his fingertips along his chin.
“Why?”
As it wasn’t the anticipated reaction, Eunseo moved from confusion to tension.
“I’m not a scammer. Obviously, this marriage shouldn’t work. I know that. But that doesn’t mean Mr. Kwon Taeha is a scammer.”
“Is that because I know who I am?”
“…”
“Aren’t you too embarrassed? The words that say you didn’t know just by appearance were quite impressive.”
A voice as cold and firm as steel. However, in that voice, which could flare up at any moment and burn the surroundings, Eunseo took another deep breath as if gathering her breath.
“I don’t know how to understand it.”
“Let’s delve into it. Understanding that topic.”
“Honestly, I can’t be sure, but it seems like our grandmother is related to this situation.”
Instead of answering, Taeha put his hand in his pocket and leaned against the door frame.
“Sorry for saying it now. But at first, I couldn’t believe your side. I thought of you as a scammer.”
“Why did you think that?”
“Grandmother had dementia.”
As Taeha had already heard this from Wooyoung, he wasn’t surprised.
“But I already said that I’m married. At first, I naturally didn’t believe it, and later…”
“…”
“I was convinced that my grandmother was deceived. Because our grandmother alone couldn’t have done such an incredible thing. If that’s the case, the person deceived is probably my husband. So, I suspected Mr. Kwon Taeha.”
“…”
“At first, could it be organ trading? Getting married and taking organs for the long term, maybe even killing?”
Organ trading? Taeha unintentionally smirked.
“Or, is it human trafficking?”
Human trafficking… ha.
“What if it’s a surrogate mother?”
Quite an imaginative scenario.
With each passing moment, words that were increasingly confusing poured out like molten lava, igniting flames wherever they landed. It was quite uncomfortable.
In just two days, going from an organ trader to a human trafficker and even a surrogate mother—it felt like a chaotic mess.
“Stop.”
Taeha, as if his patience had run out, swept his hair up with a frustrated expression. However, whether Eunseo knew it or not, she continued pouring out everything.
“Other than my grandmother, there’s no one in the world related to me. So, no matter what happens to me, there’s no one curious about me or willing to find me. So, I doubted if the purpose of the marriage was something like that. Because all I have is a healthy body.”
“Why are you telling me everything? What would I do if I took your organs, even if I were a long-term trader?”
“I’m GK. If organs like the liver, kidney, or eyeballs were needed, they would have been taken care of at the hospital. Selling people to make money involves too much risk when I already have so much. If I decide, I can get married anytime, and I don’t need a surrogate mother. My genes aren’t exceptionally great either.”
“I can’t listen anymore.”
“That’s my understanding of the situation. In a world where even misunderstandings are considered sins. The misunderstanding that Mr. Kwon Taeha did something in the marriage registration, I won’t make that mistake again. But just like Mr. Kwon Taeha isn’t, neither am I. I really am not like that.”
“Now that you’ve understood the topic, shall we understand the situation now?”
As she was already prepared, Eunseo, thinking she might know what Taeha would say, closed her eyes and spoke.
“I’ve already thought about that. Tomorrow morning, I’ll inquire about annulment and go to the police.”
“The tea is getting cold.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
