“Just completely ignore what I say.”
As the man’s figure completely disappeared, Eun Jae, who had been grumbling, plopped down on the bed.
Around the time her gaze fixed on the marriage registration form she was holding, she heard the sound of water flowing in the quiet room. It was a strange feeling, thinking the man beyond that door was taking a shower.
Without thinking, she turned her head and saw the bathroom door slightly ajar.
“Why is he showering with the door open?”
But that question was fleeting. Imagining the sexy sight of the man, soaked from head to toe in the foggy steam, Eun Jae’s face heated up, and she quickly fled the room with the marriage registration form in hand.
Eun Jae took out a painkiller from the first aid kit located in the living room. She thought it was good that she remembered the location when the man had explained the household items before.
Maybe because the house was so wellorganized, it was easy to find anything. She held her throbbing forehead and swallowed a pill with water.
Returning to the room, Eun Jae took a seat in front of the vanity next to the bed. She neatly placed the marriage registration form that the man had given her on the vanity, and slowly picked up a pen.
She felt complicated as she looked down at the document.
No, should she say it was ridiculous?
She had already made up her mind. What was the big deal about this document when both families had given their permission?
“Sigh….”
It was all because of that man.
If he hadn’t been so unnecessarily nice, if he hadn’t kept shaking her up.
If I could have dismissed you as simply a means to pay off my debt, purely for my mother, with nothing else. Would everything have been easier then?
No, it was my fault for attributing grand meanings to the manners of the man ingrained in me.
Eun Jae steadied her breath and lifted the pen over the marriage registration form.
She scanned the man’s personal information already filled in. He seemed to have prepared it in advance.
Was he in a hurry?
He probably wanted to receive the inheritance as soon as possible. He probably wanted to finish this absurd contract too.
“I would’ve done the same.”
After filing for an annulment, as if nothing happened, she could go back to the beginning with that teacher…
Thunk.
Eun Jae, who had finally lifted the pen, put it back on the table and abruptly stood up from her chair.
Her headache seemed to worsen due to the scattered, chaotic thoughts. Her forehead, where her hand was placed, was hot.
She hated it.
The woman beside Yoon Sun Woo.
No, she would probably dislike any woman beside Yoon Sun Woo.
She wished she was the only one who could occupy the place beside that man, even if it was just for the contract period. What if she developed even a terrible lingering attachment? Or if this situation got twisted and she could stay a little longer by his side?
If not that,
It was indeed an absurd thought, but she imagined the man falling madly in love and clinging onto her, saying he couldn’t be without her.
She wished that would happen. Then, she could stick to him to the best of her abilities.
“Why is that an absurd fantasy? We never know what could happen in people’s lives.”
The me in last night’s dream was very brave. It was something possible only in dreams, but it was unusually honest and unpretentious, unlike the current me.
“Ji Eun Jae, this is a clear breach of contract.”
The man, always the same, spoke such words even in her dreams. Perhaps, even if it was reality, he would have said the same.
She couldn’t remember how she got home, but why was that dream so vivid?
The words he carelessly spilled, every minor action, were all vividly imprinted in her mind.
Like swallowing rich, sweet dark chocolate, the words he had spoken before that kiss began.
“Stay with me, forever.”
“I won’t let go until you’ve paid it all off.”
Feeling as if she had landed on the moon, her body and mind wouldn’t cooperate.
Except for that point, Yoon Sun Woo in her dream wasn’t much different from reality.
Could there be a chance with the real Yoon Sun Woo? Even if it was a contract, wouldn’t some affection grow after a year?
If he had been someone she had to look at from afar, she wouldn’t have been this greedy. She probably wouldn’t even dare to be greedy.
Eun Jae silently looked at herself in the mirror.
Honestly, am I…
Aren’t I rather pretty?
“Why not just seduce him outright?”
Snicker.
Swallowing the unexpected laughter that bubbled out at her unnecessarily resolute appearance, Eun Jae seemed to have made up her mind as she picked up the pen again.
“As if that perfect man would fall for that.”
She started to neatly fill out the marriage registration form.
Sun Woo, entering the bathroom, brushed back his hair and laughed wryly. His body was tired from a sleepless night, but a smile never left his lips.
Eun Jae’s performance last night, extremely active despite her awkwardness and breathlessness, kept making him smile.
“What to do. Does it hurt? Should we stop?”
“It doesn’t matter, keep going.”
Even her appearance, biting her lips and looking lost, was on the verge of being lovely.
Sun Woo gently grazed the small bite mark on his lower lip with his thumb. It stung, causing his eyes to close instinctively, yet he couldn’t help but smile.
“Isn’t the big troublemaker you?”
His mind was already a bit confused.
Eun Jae fell into a deep sleep, perhaps exhausted from the long kiss, the moment he let go for a while.
Due to Eun Jae, who wouldn’t let go while mumbling not to leave and tightly grabbing the hem of his shirt with her tiny hands, he had to listen to Eun Jae’s breathing, which quietly filled the room all night long.
Her breath sounded just like the sound of insects on a summer night in the countryside. The rhythmic and subtle sound was so pleasant to listen to, he nearly fell asleep himself.
Whenever Eun Jae squirmed, he would tense up like a rock. The last time Eun Jae turned towards him…
It was dangerous. It was really dangerous.
The familiar taste was always scarier.
At that moment, Sun Woo saw nothing. All that filled his eyes were Eun Jae’s red lips.
His heart was beating louder than her breath, he was nervous that she might wake up due to the sound.
Yet, he was bothered by the woman’s bangs tickling the corner of her eye and gently brushed them aside. If she opened her eyes, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to meet her lips again.
“I like you, I said I like you.”
He kept repeating the words Eun Jae had said in his mind.
He wished he had a recorder in his mind. So he could play it over and over again whenever he wanted to listen.
When he realized what his feelings towards Eun Jae were, he thought that if he showed his genuine emotions now, Eun Jae would not believe him.
She would think it was another trick, and it was clear she would dismiss it as part of the contract.
It was not easy to break a relationship formed by contract.
So he hesitated and was reluctant to reveal his feelings directly, but now, was there any reason to delay?
Knowing Eun Jae’s feelings, Sun Woo had no intention of letting Eun Jae go. Perhaps such a thought never existed from the beginning.
When you, who appeared in front of me timely as if it had been foreseen, touched me, it didn’t feel strange, probably because it was our destiny to be connected this way.
He had scoffed at Eun Jung’s words that he and she might be destined, but now he wanted to believe in that destiny.
Ji Eun Jae,
You,
Be my destiny.
