When Jinyook returned home from work, Yeonju came down to the living room as if she had been waiting for him.
She approached him as he was in the dressing room, loosening his tie.
Yeonju, with a heavy expression, asked, “What are you doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you bring in a bodyguard without asking me?”
“It’s for your safety. Just bear with it for a while, even if it’s uncomfortable.”
Yeonju’s eyebrows furrowed deeply at his response. Raising her voice, she retorted, “I don’t need a bodyguard. And you have no right to do this to me.”
“So you’re saying I should just watch silently as my wife tries to leave the house?”
Jinyook looked at her and said, “You were trying to leave again today with your bags, weren’t you?”
It seemed he had received a full report of the day’s events from the bodyguard.
“Until you change your mind, the bodyguard will stay. Just so you know.”
Jinyook said this and then went to change his clothes. Yeonju sighed in frustration.
“Why are you trying to hold me back?”
Yeonju demanded to know. “I can’t have children, and you can marry someone better. Why won’t you divorce me when there’s no need for me to be by your side?”
“It’s just difficult to have children, not impossible. We can find a way. With effort…”
“I don’t want to anymore.”
Yeonju spoke firmly. “I don’t want to try anymore.”
She had already made countless efforts, which had brought no rewards.
“I don’t want to do anything for you or your family.”
Why should she repeat those hellish times? She absolutely refused.
Jinyook then looked at her intently and said, “Then don’t do anything.”
“Just stay by my side.”
“Having children isn’t important. If it really doesn’t work, we can consider adoption.”
At the mention of adoption, Yeonju scoffed.
“Adoption… as if your mother would ever agree.”
Seeing Yeonju’s cynical demeanor, Jinyook spoke earnestly, “I know you’re having a hard time now and want to give up everything.”
Initially, he couldn’t understand her. But thinking back, having learned about her difficulties with pregnancy and losing Mi-hyeon, it made sense that she wasn’t in her right mind.
She was naturally a strong and sensible woman. She seemed lost now but would soon find her way back.
Jinyook assured her, “Things will get better over time.”
“The bodyguard will be here until your feelings soften. So, even if it’s inconvenient, please endure it for a while.”
Jinyook’s gaze then fell on her neck. Her body had become so thin and frail.
Where could she possibly go in this state? She wouldn’t last long outside the house.
After changing, Jinyook moved towards the door where Yeonju stood. As he was about to pass her, Yeonju said, “If you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll have no choice but to sue.”
Jinyook turned his head to look down at her face.
“Sue?”
His voice carried a hint of mockery.
“Do you think you can win a lawsuit against me?”
“…”
“Go ahead and try.”
He had faced numerous lawsuits before, from individuals to organizations. He had his own company lawyers, not to mention connections with top-notch legal teams.
For Jinyook, who had experience in dealing with lawsuits, Yeonju’s words did not pose a threat at all.
Yeonju looked up at him squarely and said, “I am going to end this marriage.”
“…”
“No matter what you do, I won’t change my mind.”
Jinyook gazed firmly into her eyes and replied, “The same goes for me.”
His resolute voice followed, “I have no intention of ending this marriage.”
Early in the morning.
Before heading to the office, Jinyook went to his family home in Cheongdam-dong. This place was where Jinyook had spent his childhood and where his uncle Hongseok was currently living.
Upon arriving, Jinyook noticed the security guard and housekeeper waiting outside the gate, likely sent away by Hongseok.
“Good morning, Director.”
They greeted Jinyook as he approached the gate. Jinyook pressed the doorbell, and the large gate opened, revealing the family mansion resembling a palace.
Jinyook had an inkling about why Hongseok had called him so early in the morning. With a determined heart, he opened the front door and entered. A heavy air greeted him as soon as he stepped in.
After taking off his shoes, Jinyook entered the living room where Hongseok and his mother Aeran were seated. Hongseok looked somber, and Aeran appeared deep in lamentation.
Jinyook greeted Hongseok, “You called for me.”
“Yes, sit down.”
Jinyook took a seat opposite Hongseok on the sofa. Hongseok, with a stern demeanor, began, “I’ve heard about Yeonju.”
Jinyook hadn’t been surprised. Someone must have informed Hongseok about Yeonju’s difficulty in conceiving. It wouldn’t have been Aeran; most likely, the person who had informed Aeran had also spoken to Hongseok.
“Sooner or later, he was bound to find out. I have no intention of blaming or resenting anyone. What mattered now was to convey my thoughts to Hongseok clearly.
“Now, tell me what you plan to do.”
Taking a deep breath inwardly, Jinyook began, “Nothing will change.”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
