“How can I stay sane when a woman who might ruin you is by your side?!”
Aeran, having poured out her emotions, trembled violently. Jinyook, seeing her in such an agitated state, couldn’t utter another word. It seemed like the first time he had seen Aeran this upset.
As he approached to calm her, Aeran grabbed Jinyook’s hand.
“Jinyook, in the end, our goals are the same.”
Aeran gazed at him with desperate eyes and continued.
“Have you forgotten what we’ve worked so hard for? Yeonju is someone who contributes nothing to our goals.”
“…….”
“No. She could even ruin everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve.”
She spoke soothingly, yet firmly.
“Jinyook, I know it’s not an easy decision.”
“…….”
“But you need to be resolute and make a choice.”
Her steadfast eyes met Jinyook’s. Aeran spoke deliberately.
“Everything depends on your choice. Your future, and mine too.”
Having heard this much, Yeonju closed the door and went back into her room.
Leaning against the door, she got lost in thought.
“…….”
Hearing their conversation, she wasn’t as affected as she thought she might be. She had somewhat anticipated this ever since she knew about her difficulty in having children.
Her heart ached, but it was bearable. She even understood Aeran’s perspective; it was natural for a parent to worry about their child’s future.
And one more thing became clear, something she hadn’t understood about Jinyook’s behavior.
In fact, she hadn’t understood why Jinyook hadn’t let her go until now.
He was smart enough to know that breaking off their relationship would be the best thing.
“Don’t you have even the slightest bit of sympathy?”
“Don’t you feel any pity for Yeonju?”
Now, all her questions were answered.
Just the slightest bit of sympathy. That was why he couldn’t let her go.
He couldn’t bring himself to cast away someone pitiful.
It was no different from the moral obligation of noblesse oblige.
And she, foolishly, hadn’t realized that.
Yeonju let out a bitter laugh and then looked out the window.
The wind was blowing. A dry leaf clung to a tree branch, barely holding on.
How had it managed to endure for so long after winter had started?
Stronger winds would come and eventually blow it away… Why bother enduring so long?
Yeonju gazed at the landscape that resembled her situation, then closed her eyes tightly.
“Yeonju. You have your own life to live.”
Her mother’s voice echoed in her ears.
“You need to find happiness now….”
All the answers were there. There would be no more pain.
It was around sunset.
Yeonju stood looking out the terrace in the living room.
Through the clear glass window, the sunset unfolded. The sky, tinted in shades of red, was gently covered with fluffy snow. The sight of the world turning white silently was quite beautiful.
Since meeting and marrying Jinyook in the fall, she was now facing her third winter.
To have spent three seasons by someone’s side… She realized how long her time with Jinyook had been, although they hadn’t been together much.
Watching the slowly falling snowflakes, her mind felt peaceful. She had never felt this tranquil in this house.
As she was immersed in the white landscape,
The silent house was pierced by the sound of the door opening.
Entering through the front door was Jinyook, returning from his 3-day business trip.
“How can I stay sane when a woman who might ruin you is by your side?!”
Aeran, having vented her pent-up emotions, trembled. Seeing her so agitated, Jinyook found himself unable to speak further. It appeared to be the first time he had seen Aeran this worked up.
As he moved to calm her, Aeran grabbed Jinyook’s hand.
“Jinyook, ultimately, we share the same goal.”
With a desperate look in her eyes, Aeran continued.
“Have you forgotten what we’ve strived for? Yeonju is someone who brings no benefit to our objectives.”
“…….”
“In fact, she could even ruin everything you’ve worked so hard for.”
Her voice was gentle yet firm.
“Jinyook, I know it’s not an easy decision.”
“…….”
“But you must make a tough decision and stick with it.”
Her resolute eyes met Jinyook’s. She spoke emphatically.
“Your entire future depends on this choice, as does mine.”
After hearing this, Yeonju closed the door and returned to her room.
Leaning against the door, she reflected for a moment.
“…….”
Listening to their conversation, she wasn’t as affected as she might have expected. She had somewhat anticipated this ever since learning about her difficulty in having children.
Her heart ached, but it was bearable. She even understood Aeran’s point of view – a parent’s concern for their child’s future was natural.
And one more thing became clear, something she hadn’t understood about Jinyook’s behavior until now.
In fact, she hadn’t understood why Jinyook hadn’t let her go.
He was intelligent enough to know that ending their relationship would be the best thing.
“Don’t you have even the slightest bit of sympathy?”
“Don’t you feel any pity for Yeonju?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
