Yeonju sat in the living room, holding a teacup.
Outside the window, the chirping of birds and the warm winter sunlight seeped in. It was a quiet and peaceful morning.
After taking a sip of tea, Yeonju put down the cup and looked at a person standing near the entrance.
Dressed in a neat suit, just like when she was going to work, the woman standing upright without any disarray was Minhee. It had been three days since she started coming here instead of going to the office.
Minhee arrived precisely at 8 a.m., stayed by Yeonju’s side all day, and then politely said goodbye and left at the end of her working hours.
Though officially she was there to assist Yeonju, it felt more like surveillance. Yeonju knew that Minhee was monitoring her every move and reporting back to Jinyook.
Yeonju had never spoken to her during these three days. She acted as if Minhee wasn’t in the house. Even Minhee had initially told her to feel comfortable, as if she wasn’t there.
Breaking the three days of no conversation, Yeonju spoke to Minhee.
“Minhee Ju.”
At her call, Minhee immediately looked at Yeonju. While pouring more tea into her cup, Yeonju continued.
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
“No, thank you. Please don’t mind me.”
“Just one cup. I feel lonely drinking alone.”
Yeonju spoke softly again.
“It’ll only be for a moment.”
Hesitant at first, Minhee approached the sofa table and sat opposite Yeonju.
Yeonju poured tea into the cup in front of her and said,
“Try it. It’s said to calm the mind.”
“Thank you.”
Minhee lifted the cup to her lips. The warm sensation spread through her body, and indeed, as she had said, it seemed to bring some peace of mind.
As they were nearly done with their tea, Yeonju asked her.
“Can I ask you something I’m curious about?”
“Yes, please do.”
Minhee put down her cup and faced Yeonju. Yeonju, ready to listen, said,
“Minhee Ju, you like Jinyook, don’t you?”
Minhee’s pupils dilated.
“…What?”
She hadn’t expected such a question from the calm Yeonju.
Minhee looked visibly flustered. Her face and even her ears turned red as she denied it.
“No, that’s not true.”
Yeonju observed her and said calmly,
“You can be honest. I can see it.”
She had noticed it since the time Minhee brought a drunken Jinyook to their house.
The way she looked at Jinyook was not the gaze of an employee to her boss.
Her eyes held admiration, affection, and compassion.
Yeonju had felt the same when she first met him. He seemed so admirable, like someone unreachable. Having experienced those feelings herself, Yeonju could instantly recognize them in Minhee.
Flustered, Minhee spoke hurriedly,
“Please, don’t misunderstand. It’s not the relationship you think it is.”
“There’s no need to make excuses.”
Yeonju’s tone was indifferent.
“It doesn’t matter to me. Whatever your relationship with him is or isn’t.”
“……”
“I don’t love that man anymore.”
There was a time when Yeonju believed she loved Jinyook.
Every time his hand touched her, she thought the warmth was love.
She mistook the strange sensations she felt in his arms for love.
What was just a means for pregnancy for Jinyook, she foolishly felt was love.
Now she realized those feelings were just delusions, meaningless.
“I don’t care what happens to Jinyook in the future,” Yeonju said without hesitation.
“Whether LM Group collapses or not, whether Jinyook is ousted from his position, it doesn’t matter to me.”
“…”
“I’m someone who wouldn’t mind if this marriage fell apart overnight.”
Minhee’s mouth fell open in shock. She hadn’t expected such words from the wife of her boss and the daughter-in-law of the LM Group.
“Everything I said is sincere,” Yeonju assured her.
“Do you think someone like me deserves to be by Jinyook’s side?”
Minhee couldn’t respond. The doubt about Yeonju was evident on her face.
Seizing the opportunity, Yeonju delved deeper into Minhee’s unsettled mind.
“You have feelings for Jinyook, so you should understand.”
“…”
“Whether it’s right or wrong for me to stay by his side.”
Minhee’s eyes trembled. Yeonju spoke more firmly.
“No, everyone already knows.”
“…”
“Only one person is unaware of it.”
Everyone knew the truth that Jinyook either didn’t know or was stubbornly ignoring.
It was a stubbornness that wasn’t good for either of them.
Yeonju believed that by touching on Minhee’s feelings for Jinyook, she might have a chance.
With a serious look, she told Minhee,
“I’m someone who can’t help Jinyook, who will eventually make him unhappy.”
“…”
“I don’t want to live that kind of life either.”
Her voice was filled with earnestness.
“So, please help me, Minhee.”
“Thank you for your hard work. See you at the next meeting.”
After leaving the meeting room, Jinyook checked his watch.
3 p.m., well past lunchtime.
Jinyook entered his office and called someone. As usual, the person answered immediately.
“Yes, Director.”
It was Minhee. Jinyook asked her,
“How is Yeonju?”
