“That’s true. But I’m talking about a lawyer who isn’t too expensive. I might have to pull out the pillars of the house and offer them to the lawyer if I’m not careful, you know?”
“Should I contact Eun-su?”
“How can I contact her when the phone doesn’t work? And, well, you’re someone whose husband might be arrested, but you’re going shopping so leisurely! Aren’t you worried about your husband?”
“I am worried. But worrying won’t solve anything, so I think I should just do what I usually do. I’m doing this so that you’ll be less anxious, thinking you’d be more comfortable.”
Joo-kyung said, opening her eyes brightly. Then, carrying the shopping bags with both hands, she walked into the room.
“Legally, we’re already separated. What’s this about a husband? It’s so funny!”
Holding back laughter, Joo-kyung took out the airplane ticket from her bag. She kissed it with a side smile, as it would be the ticket to a new life.
Eun-su, who read the message sent by Hyeok-joo, smiled brightly.
“What did you see to make you smile like that?”
Sang-joo, who was preparing dinner, asked Eun-su while looking at her face.
“He said he’s coming soon.”
“The vice president?”
“Yes.”
Eun-su shyly answered, putting down her phone. She blushed, thinking she might have shown that she liked him too much.
“The president’s wife is saying that, and how would the vice president feel? As soon as he comes to work, he’ll want to come home, and his eyes will turn red.”
After laughing for a while, Sang-joo extended her neck and looked around the living room, as if trying to check if Saet-byeol, who had gone into the bathroom to wash up, was in the living room.
“By the way, the vice president’s secretary.”
“Director Song?”
“Yes. Saet-byeol seems to have a good impression of him. Does it only look that way to me?”
“I don’t know.”
Eun-su shrugged.
Despite meeting for the first time, they quickly became friendly.
Perhaps it was because they both attended the same school on Jeju Island for a semester during college.
Above all, Saet-byeol had a good personality. She could easily chat with someone she had just met, even while eating.
Then, the phone on the dining table rang again.
“Yes, Mr. Hyeok-joo.”
— Hyun-su, would it be okay if Hyun-soo goes with us?
“Director Song too?”
— We have to stay at the resort for a while, and it seems the meals there are not good.
“I’ll ask.”
With the phone in her hand, Eun-su asked Sang-joo.
“Mrs. Sang, is it okay if Director Song joins us for dinner?”
“Sure. It’s said that meals are better when eaten with a lively crowd. Please tell him to come.”
After getting Sang-joo’s approval, Eun-su conveyed to Hyeok-joo.
“It’s okay. How long will it take?”
— I’m almost there.
“When you arrive, we’ll prepare for you to eat right away.”
— Yes, thank you.
After ending the call with Hyeok-joo, Eun-su set an extra pair of chopsticks. Suddenly, she thought she should let Saet-byeol know.
Just as Eun-su was about to knock on the bathroom door, it opened.
Saet-byeol, who had just finished showering, had a towel wrapped around her head. Seeing Eun-su standing in front of her, she widened her eyes in surprise.
“Director Song is also invited to dinner.”
“O Eun-su, this is your house. Why are you asking me, a guest?”
“But still, I have to ask.”
“I’m fine with it.”
With a shrug of her shoulders, Saet-byeol walked into her room. But when she half-opened the door, Saet-byeol suddenly turned her head.
“Vice President Moon Hyeok-joo is also coming now, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Ha, got it.”
Seeing Saet-byeol asking if Hyeok-joo was coming to the house, Eun-su felt puzzled. Moreover, calling him ‘Moon Hyeok-joo vice president’ instead of ‘Hyeok-joo’ all of a sudden.
A little later, Hyeok-joo and Hyun-soo entered the house side by side.
“Welcome, Director Song.”
“Madam, I’m sorry for causing trouble.”
Seeing Hyun-soo’s apologetic expression, Eun-su smiled, saying it was okay.
Sang-joo, facing the two who had just finished work, shouted loudly from the kitchen.
“Quickly wash your hands and sit down!”
With these words, she added that today’s menu was black pork and aged kimchi stew. Saet-byeol, who had heard the dinner menu discussion, rushed out of the room with her hair half-dried.
“Mrs. Geum-hwa, today I definitely need two bowls of rice for dinner…!”
As Saet-byeol spoke loudly, she unexpectedly glanced around and lowered the two fingers she had been holding up.
Hyeok-joo, who had just been smiling while looking at Eun-su, stiffened his expression when Hyun-soo casually nudged his arm. In response, Saet-byeol turned her head to avoid Hyeok-joo’s gaze.
Facing the entrance, Saet-byeol shouted with her whole body turned toward the door.
“Mrs. Geum-hwa, I’ll go buy some cider!”
After that, she grabbed Hyun-soo’s arm before he entered the kitchen.
“Mr. Hyun-soo, let’s go buy some cider.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Watching the two of them go to buy cider, Hyeok-joo’s lips trembled as if he were holding back laughter. Eun-su widened her eyes and asked, “Why?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
Seeing Hyeok-joo, who smiled with a knowing and meaningful smile, Eun-su could only nod her head.
Taking pictures at a café with a beautiful view of the sea, Yeon-ji frowned at the uncomfortable gaze that seemed to be watching her.
“Fix your face! If you keep making that expression, you’ll get wrinkles on your face. You only have one face and body to show off, so you should take good care of them. Don’t you think so?”
“While you’re saying that, do you think I’ll be able to laugh?”
“Look at you, talking back. You used to smile happily when you saw me before. Now that you’ve met someone else, what? Has your heart changed?”
Yeon-ji looked at Sam-seop with eyes that found his question obvious.
At that time, it was Seo Eun-sung, who knew nothing, and now it’s Seo Yeon-ji.
She thought that by slightly fixing her face and changing her name, Sam-seop wouldn’t recognize her. She expected him to pass by thinking she looked similar, but suddenly appearing after several years felt strange.
Moreover, they met as if he knew her schedule well, on the airport limousine bus.
Meeting could be considered a coincidence, but being on the same plane, and even with the high probability of sitting in nearby seats, was quite unusual.
No matter how much she thought about it, Sam-seop’s appearance seemed suspicious.

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…
