“He’s really changed these days, hasn’t he? Leaving work on time, and now taking all his leaves, when he used to practically live in the hospital 365 days a year.”
“Is he going on a date, or did he hide a honey jar at home?” Muttering to herself and laughing, Na Rim’s face turned red when she met Tae Kyu’s gaze, who was looking down at her.
Na Rim was caught in that gaze for a long time. Unable to either avoid it or continue looking, Na Rim cautiously asked Tae Kyu.
“Um, sir, do you have anything to say…?”
“Oh, no.”
Finally coming to his senses, Tae Kyu diverted his gaze. Seeing Na Rim laughing, he stared at her too openly, as for a moment she seemed to overlap with Eun Jae in his mind.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I was lost in thought for a moment.”
“No, it’s okay. What… what do you usually do on your days off, Professor Yoon?”
Tae Kyu, lost in thought again, seemed not to have heard Na Rim’s courageous question.
“Um, sir?”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“No, it’s nothing, you look tired. You should go up to the hospital and rest.”
“I guess I should, thank you.”
Tae Kyu quickly left his seat. Na Rim watched him leave until he was out of sight, then moved her steps, barely suppressing the urge to ask about his suddenly roughened complexion.
Tae Kyu’s steps slowed down again.
The sight of the two he had seen passing the courtyard. He hadn’t seen Eun Jae’s face as they turned the corner, but he remembered Yoon Sun Woo, embracing Eun Jae with a smile he’d never seen before. The magma in his chest bubbled up.
Even while talking with Eun Jae, he was certain their marriage was not normal, but ever since he saw Yoon Sun Woo’s behavior and expression, he was increasingly confused.
No, that too. It might have been something Yoon Sun Woo could easily do.
I know.
“You really didn’t do this.”
“Yoon Sun Woo, you’re not serious about this.”
Your pupils trembled twice in front of me.
No, three times.
“I, love that person.”
You can’t lie. Whether it was then or now.
Eun Jae returned home and recalled what had happened during the day.
Being accompanied by a man, the once futile tasks smoothly progressed.
No. The way he looked at me with eyes that seemed to be dripping with honey at the planner’s question. The unnecessary blushing at the pleasing empty words of the man asking, ‘What do you like?’
When he kindly said, “I hope you do what you want to do,” it really felt like she was a bride receiving a man’s love.
“How can he act so well?”
Even knowing it was an act, I kept falling for it, and started having absurd thoughts that it might actually be sincere.
It’s a contract marriage, and we have to pretend for a while anyway, so during that time, couldn’t I really have you? Couldn’t I be greedy?
Where else would I meet a man like you?
I laughed at the absurdity of such thoughts.
“What are you going to do after that?”
What if I end up liking you so much that I don’t want to let go, what will I do then?
The man said he would sue for annulment after a year. I know what that means. To him, this marriage contract may be a blemish he wants to erase cleanly.
Moreover, if the day comes when he discovers that I have these feelings for him, I might have to pay double the penalty.
“No, it can’t be, it absolutely can’t.”
I tried to suppress and deny the feelings that kept emerging, to not fall in love, but I kept getting attracted and my eyes kept going to him without realizing it. I couldn’t hide it.
It was certain that I had already given more than a liking. It was also certain that I couldn’t turn back.
Eun Jae blankly stared at the calendar on the dressing table.
It felt like just yesterday when she moved into the man’s house, but a whole month had already passed.
“There’s less than 11 months left.”
The year that had seemed long until the moment she signed, was feeling incredibly short that day.
She couldn’t sleep.
Eun Jae, who had stayed awake until the blue light began to seep in through the airy chiffon curtains, rubbed her bleary eyes and struggled to get up, looking at her phone indicating 5 in the morning.
She went to the kitchen and gulped down water to quench her thirst, then she stared quietly at the man’s bedroom door that suddenly came into her view.
“We’re practically like a real married couple.”
Involuntarily, the man’s words from a few days ago came to mind, and heat reflexively rose to her face. Eun Jae filled her glass with water again to suppress the heat and gulped it down in one go.
That was also why she couldn’t sleep. His offhand remark seemed too sincere.
And it was also strange that he suddenly accompanied her to meet the wedding planner yesterday, without saying a word.
“Ms. Ji Eun Jae, your face turns red when you lie.”
Had he changed tactics, decided to completely ensnare her? What if she got attached to him like a leech?
“Mr. Yoon Sun Woo. If you keep enticing people softly like that, I might not agree to sign the divorce.”
Looking at it calmly, the one to be swayed here and there, having already greeted both families, was not her, but the man.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
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.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
