A sudden tingling scent tickled her nose.
It seemed that wounds caused by people heal through people; they had undergone intense healing overnight.
“When will you go back to Seoul?”
“Are you sending me away so soon?”
“You seemed to have come in a hurry.”
“I’ve put out the urgent fires and will come down often. Call me when I contact you.”
“What if I can’t make it?”
“I’ll come to your dorm.”
The thought of him coming to the dormitory filled with company members made Hae Joo uncomfortable.
“I’ll come to you. Just call me.”
“No.”
“!”
“It’ll be thrilling.”
“No, we can’t.”
Do Jun laughed at her strict refusal.
“Should we go out to eat?”
Outside, the sun shone as if it had never rained.
The weather was clear, but the intense heat made going out challenging.
Common cafes were too crowded, so she quickly dismissed the idea.
“Let’s just stay here.”
“You might find it tiring.”
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like holding you all day.”
Her mouth opened in surprise.
Do Jun lay down on the bed, appearing relaxed, a side of him she had never seen at home.
Recalling when she first learned he was her husband in name, she never imagined this would happen.
“Really?”
“Honestly, you were scary at first.”
“I thought I was being kind.”
“Your eyes and expression… seemed like they could explode at any moment.”
“I was at my limit waiting for you.”
“You waited in that old office?”
“Sort of. I worked between there and the company.”
“Wasn’t that foolish?”
The discomfort didn’t bother Do Jun; he was more afraid she wouldn’t come.
“How did you feel when you found out we were legally married?”
“I was shell-shocked.”
“?”
“I wondered if I could make you smile.”
“That’s unexpected.”
“How did you feel when you found out we were legally married, Do Jun?”
“I was totally shocked.”
“……?”
“I kept wondering if I could make you smile.”
“That’s unexpected.”
“I wanted to be your husband. I wanted to earn that right.”
“So you went crazy over money?”
“Money?”
“The director said you were mad about money.”
Do Jun chuckled and sat up, kneeling in front of Hae Joo in his bathrobe.
“How could I manage without going a little crazy?”
“What do you mean?”
“Even now, just seeing you is overwhelming…”
His intense gaze slowly softened.
Their shallow breaths mingled, causing Hae Joo’s heart to swell.
It was like living a dream.
She never imagined her life, filled with so much emptiness, would have such moments.
It felt as if ice crystals were spreading to her brain.
Do Jun’s breath from last night acted as a painkiller, spreading through her body, easing the pain.
“Let’s go. If we stay, I’ll keep bothering you.”
“But I don’t have any clothes…”
“Just wait.”
Do Jun sent a message on his phone. Moments later, Manager Song knocked and left a suitcase.
“I brought your clothes from home.”
Hae Joo was momentarily stunned by his thoughtfulness. After showering, she changed.
As they were about to leave the hotel, Hae Joo paused, looking at comfortably dressed Do Jun with a pouting expression.
“Did you plan this from the start?”
“What?”
“Staying here with me.”
“Why come to Jeju if I was going to be alone?”
“True.”
They enjoyed a peaceful drive along the beach, occasionally dodging tourists who sneakily snapped their photos.
Photos of Do Jun and Hae Joo dating quickly spread on social media.
To anyone, they looked like a loving couple.
Those who saw them in person were envious.
Their outing soon became a topic for journalists.
‘Actress Hae Joo and Gino Group CEO Do Jun’s blissful everyday life’ headlined the social media posts.
Reactions varied.
“Weren’t they separated? The complex world of celebrities.”
“Why live apart then?”
“I’ve seen Hae Joo at 00 Apartment. I live there. They definitely separated.”
“It seems like a show. Wish Real Fact would dig into this.”
After dinner, Do Jun returned to Seoul.
Back at the pension, Hae Joo saw the articles and skimmed through the comments.
“Let’s not worry about it.”
When she was about to read her script, Hyun Sung arrived, awkwardly handing her a drink.
“Did you see the article, sister?”
“Yes.”
“People are reacting positively.”
“What do they know… Did the director leave?”
“Yes. Just focus on the movie, sister.”
“Thanks.”
“Your mood seems much brighter, sister.”
“Does it?”
“It’s really nice to see.”
“Hyun Sung, you seem to have something on your mind. Don’t beat around the bush.”
Hyun Sung coughed several times, looking tense.
“I got a call today. Your sister was making a scene in front of the company.”
“What?”
“She was pleading with the director to let her meet you.”
“That’s unbelievable.”
“Our team manager asked how you’d like to handle it.”
A wave of unrest washed over Hae Joo.
She calmly tried to find a way to handle it.
“So she’ll keep coming?”
“Yes. The manager thinks it’s best to confront her at least once.”
“It’s probably just for money.”
It would be problematic if her personal life leaked during the movie shoot.
She considered confronting it head-on.
“I’ll discuss it with Do Jun.”
“Talk to him.”
During the film shoot, it was problematic if personal matters were misreported.
It was worth considering whether preempting the issue would be better.
“I’ll consult with Mr. Do Jun,” I thought.
“Try talking to him.”
Hae Joo held her phone, brimming with missed calls. She contemplated contacting Jin Han first but soon put the phone down, concluding that now wasn’t the right time.
As she was engulfed in her worries, a call from Do Jun came through. Finally exhaling the breath she’d been holding, she answered.
“Mr. Do Jun.”
[Dash] I’m just home now.“You’ve had a tough day. And, well… I’ve encountered a problem.”
[Dash] What is it?“I think my sister came to the office.”
[Dash] Hm.“Given her strong will, she won’t back down easily. What should we do?”
Hae Joo’s voice trembled, feeling utterly diminished in front of a past connection she desperately wanted to sever.
[Dash] I’ll meet with her.“Whom will you meet?”
Hae Joo’s mind went blank.
In a moment of apprehension, he mentioned the name she dreaded.
“Your sister, Yura.”
Hae Joo’s mind turned blank.
In a moment of disbelief, he uttered the name she feared.
“Your sister, Yura.”
For Hae Joo, Yura was no different from a viper, but to Do Jun, she was merely a plaything.
Something to be trampled and crushed at will…
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
