“Here’s your passport.”
Entering the living room, the first thing Siyun handed Mijoo was not a promissory note or a marriage contract, but her passport.
Mijoo’s eyes, alternating between the passport and Siyun in surprise, began to fill with gratitude.
“Thank you. But, did you pay that fine?”
Siyun was contemplating when to explain the situation, but Mijoo’s earnest question made him almost burst into laughter, which he barely managed to suppress.
“Why? Did someone say they would reduce the fine?”
“No… I paid 200 dollars yesterday.”
Why specifically 200 dollars?
The mention of 200 dollars kept sharply piercing Siyun’s heart, but he didn’t show any reaction.
“You lost 200 dollars yesterday?”
“Lost? It was all I had.”
Mijoo looked down, fiddling with her hands, as Siyun continued to stare at her.
“Now, I don’t even have 2,000 won.”
Yet Mijoo soon put on a brave face as if nothing was wrong, her frightened demeanor from yesterday nowhere to be seen.
‘She’s been pretending to be strong all this time.’
Siyun swallowed the warm words rising in his heart and pulled out his tablet.
“Let’s see if you become a debtor or put 100,000 dollars in your bank account. Choose one.”
Mijoo’s expression stiffened at his words, and Siyun too became serious.
“I have no intention of becoming a debtor.”
More than half won over. Siyun’s lips slightly curled into a faint smile.
“You said that before.”
“Said what?”
“Either add a zero behind the contract amount or add a 1 in front.”
Siyun’s eyebrow twitched momentarily. He picked up the tablet without any change in expression.
“Should I change the front or the back?”
“The back.”
“Back.”
“Please remove one zero from the back.”
“Remove it?”
“Yes.”
“No, removing a zero makes it ten thousand, just about enough for a year’s tuition. Are you planning to work part-time again?”
Siyun couldn’t understand why such an innocent girl, oblivious to the power of money, seemed so precious to him.
He wanted to stamp the contract quickly, but now he was conflicted about reducing the amount.
In the end, he hesitated, not wanting to appear desperate by lowering the amount in the contract.
‘Ah, such a woman who troubles me evenly.’
“I have one semester left and I’m getting a scholarship, so I don’t need to worry about tuition. That amount is enough for living expenses and even to save for when I return to Korea…”
Mijoo trailed off with a wide grin.
‘Enough for…’
She knew that the remaining money wouldn’t even be enough for a deposit on a rental in Korea, but she couldn’t just grab someone else’s money.
Siyun leaned on his chin, staring seriously at the tablet.
“Ms. Choi Mijoo, you seem to have a misconception. This contract is not something easy.”
He regretted his words as soon as he said them, worrying that Mijoo might reconsider the contract.
Siyun clenched his fists and quickly continued to prevent her from having second thoughts.
“You know this is an important matter for me, worth betting 100,000 dollars. So, I expect you to take the contract seriously too. As it’s an important matter, I can’t set a low price.”
“But if I take too much money, I’ll feel guilty.”
“Guilty about what?”
“Like, a pang of conscience.”
“Oh, if your conscience bothers you, just feel responsible then. You should feel responsible and I will claim my rightful benefits. As much as I give in contract money and compensation.”
“There’s compensation in addition to the contract amount?”
Mijoo, with wide eyes, snatched the tablet from Siyun’s hand and began touching it here and there, then opened her mouth in astonishment.
“You’re going to give me this much money?”
Siyun nodded as if it was the most natural thing, to which Mijoo exhaled a deep breath, her expression solidifying.
“Okay!”
With a look of determination, Siyun watched her with expectant eyes.
“I’ll sign the contract just for the agreed amount, without the bonus.”
Siyun had no more patience to discuss the money. He just wanted to get the signature. Still, he asked out of courtesy.
“Should I call a lawyer?”
“Why a lawyer?”
Mijoo slightly shrank back as if feeling nervous.
“If there’s something you don’t understand in the contract, you should get it explained and check if there are any clauses unfavorable to you.”
“No, there’s no need for a lawyer for that.”
Mijoo focused on the tablet, poring over the contract for a long time.
Mumbling the contract to herself, she tilted her head at a certain part and fixed her gaze on it.
“We’re having a wedding ceremony?”
“Didn’t you know we need a formal license and a ceremony to get a marriage certificate?”
“I knew that, but…”
“And we need to take wedding photos to send home too.”
The reality of the contract hit Mijoo.
“The contract amount isn’t much, right? If you change your mind, we can add the bonus back.”
“No, no. Is this where I sign?”
Mijoo pointed to where her name was written, looking at Siyun.

really disliked him
