He wondered if Hae Joo’s statement that ‘Do Jun fought for her’ was referring to this.
Then, Jinhan brought up a question that he had almost overlooked.
“Do you know how the marriage registration happened?”
“The marriage registration?”
“Hae Joo apparently had a marriage registration with the sick son of the chairman.”
“Is that so?”
“I only found out recently that it was with the second son, Park Do Jun.”
“How is that possible when their faces would be different?”
“Seems like they were twin brothers.”
This time, it was Yoonji who was surprisingly shocked and opened her mouth wide.
“She registered her marriage using the younger brother’s name!”
“It was a marriage of coercion and money. A scam.”
“……!”
“The lawyer said it might be possible to annul the marriage.”
“Would Hae Joo do that?”
“Not yet.”
Everything depended on Hae Joo’s will.
Jin Han remembered the last words Do Jun said before leaving the room.
The words that he tried to save Hae Joo, and he tried to kill himself, resonated strangely.
“I don’t know what I should do.”
“If that’s the case, you should have been honest from the start. It’s ridiculous to get a divorce overnight after giving an explanation that’s almost like a novel.”
Yoon Ji’s honest answer.
Upon this, Jin Han decided to let go of his stubbornness that was close to being forced.
Ignoring the stares that followed him, Do Jun supported Hae Joo and left the club.
As soon as they got into the car parked on the street, they drove off quickly.
Just as they were about to enter the main road, Hae Joo grabbed Do Jun’s arm, which was holding the steering wheel.
“I think I’m going to throw up.”
Eventually, they stopped the car in front of a large commercial building.
Do Jun took Hae Joo to the women’s bathroom, but he couldn’t go in.
“I’ll go buy some water. Don’t go anywhere.”
Do Jun ran to the convenience store.
After buying water, the next place he visited was a pharmacy that was open late.
He also bought some medicine good for hangovers and went to the bathroom of the commercial building.
Hae Joo had been throwing up for a while inside.
“Hae Joo, let’s go to the hospital right now.”
Soon, the bathroom stall door opened.
Hae Joo walked out with a surprisingly refreshed complexion.
She rinsed her mouth at the sink and first sipped the water that Do Jun gave her.
“I feel refreshed after throwing up.”
“How’s your head?”
“It hurts a little, but it’s not serious.”
“Are you really okay?”
Hae Joo nodded her head.
She then took the hangover remedy and they headed towards the car.
“What happened?”
“Senior Yoon Ji ordered a nonalcoholic cocktail for me, but I think someone poured whiskey in it.”
“That’s absurd.”
“At first, the director treated me like a shadow, so I confronted him while drunk.”
Do Jun stood in disbelief in front of Hae Joo.
“If the director crossed the line, why should I care?”
“You did well.”
“But what did you say to the director earlier, Do Jun?”
“It’s nothing.”
On the way home, Hae Joo fell asleep.
He pushed back the worry that the hangover would hit again tomorrow.
That didn’t mean the drunkenness had disappeared. A pleasant numbness lingered, making him think this is why people drink.
They were able to get home only late into the night.
“Thank you for picking me up.”
Hae Joo smiled with her eyes, unlike usual.
Looking at her crescentmoon eyes, Do Jun’s heart fluttered.
“Are you drunk?”
Hae Joo stumbled after taking just a few steps.
Do Jun sighed, gripping her tightly.
As soon as they entered the house, the lights turned on due to the automatic sensor.
When Hae Joo attempted to climb the stairs alone, he carried her, not willing to let her go.
“Put me down.”
“I can’t bear the anxiety. We’ll go like this.”
When they reached the second floor, he put her down, and she quickly found her room.
Just as Do Jun was about to go to his room with a sigh of relief, Hae Joo emerged, narrowing her eyes.
“Why didn’t you accept the gift I gave you?”
“Gift?”
He remembered the conversation they had via chat the day before.
“What did you buy?”
“I’m disappointed.”
Do Jun grabbed Hae Joo as she turned to leave with a pout.
“What will happen if you leave like this?”
“I’ve been ignored so I plan to throw away the gift.”
“Where is the gift?”
The corners of Hae Joo’s eyes became damp.
“Don’t you know that I left it on your bed yesterday?”
“I didn’t sleep in my room yesterday. I was tired and fell asleep on the couch.”
“Ah!”
She decided to forgive him then.
“Give me the gift.”
“You disappointed me for a day. It’s not free.”
Do Jun promptly pulled out his wallet.
Hae Joo, with a frown, snatched his wallet and threw it away.
“Why?”
“Follow me.”
Do Jun followed her back into the room, apprehensive. That’s when he noticed the gift box, his eyes wide.
“Take a shower and come out wearing everything I gave you.”
“What is this?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Do Jun accepted the gift box in surprise.
She wouldn’t say what was inside, so he took it to the bathroom on the first floor.
After disrobing, he drenched his body under the showerhead.
He filled the bathtub with water and relaxed for a bit.
He was getting drowsy, so he quickly finished his shower.
“I think I’m alive now.”
Do Jun, who had only shaken off the water, naturally reached for his bathrobe.
He opened Hae Joo’s gift while wearing the bathrobe over his naked body.
“What’s this!”
Inside the box was an unexpected gift.
The watch was fine, but the underwear…
At first glance, the boxers looked a bit small. Plus, seeing the matching pajamas, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“It’s a total honeymoon.”
If she says to wear it, he must.
However, Hae Joo had to wear these pajamas too.
Do Jun went to the dressing room and kept the illfitting boxers.
He didn’t know why she bought them… anyway.
He quickly put on his clean underwear first. Then he put on the silk pajamas, top and bottom.
But the female pajamas were not simple.
If Hae Joo wore this, he was certain a new history would be written tonight.
He headed for the second floor.
It seemed Hae Joo was now showering, so he knocked lightly on the bathroom door.
“Yes?”
“You wear this too.”
“Oh, right!”
“I didn’t realize it was a couple’s pajama.”

He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
