When her mother passed away, Eunseo, then only a middle school student, inherited the debts. She didn’t realize this until it was too late to renounce the inheritance. She had been repaying the debt since she turned twenty, yet not even half was paid off.
“Alright, I’ll just take 170,000 won. For our handsome groom here.”
“He’s not my husband!”
The shop owner gave her some free plain t-shirts and socks, claiming they were overstock, perfect for lounging at home.
Eunseo thought she had everything they needed, but Seungju kept glancing at the men’s underwear section.
Realizing he had only the underwear he was wearing, Eunseo felt too embarrassed to choose for him.
“Pick what you like.”
While pretending to look away, she overheard the shop owner exclaiming in disbelief.
“Oh my, how will these ever fit? They won’t even go over his thighs!”
“No, I usually wear this size…”
Eunseo sneakily glanced to see the owner arguing with Seungju over his choice of underwear.
Even for Eunseo, who had never seen men’s underwear up close, it was obvious his choice was ridiculously small. It seemed he had yet to realize his own size.
Unable to watch anymore, Eunseo picked the largest size box and handed it to the owner without making eye contact.
“This one, please.”
The shop owner chuckled.
“Ah, the wife knows her husband’s size best.”
“He’s not my husband!”
Flustered and feeling wronged, Eunseo almost wanted to cry. She had never even held a man’s hand!
“Come on, don’t be so shy. You’ll have kids soon enough.”
After paying for the underwear, Eunseo practically fled the store, with Seungju quickly following behind.
“I’ll wear them well, Eunseo-noona.”
Seungju, dressed from head to toe in new clothes, looked down at himself with evident joy.
In his fresh attire, Seungju attracted attention for a different reason. Dressed in a simple white crewneck, jeans, and a plain black jacket, he looked like he had stepped out of a casual fashion shoot. His presence in the market drew everyone’s eyes.
“Hey, handsome guy! Come here, I’ll give you a discount.”
Market ladies waved and called him over, seemingly more interested in gawking at his face than actually selling anything.
“How can someone be so good-looking?”
“Is he a celebrity?”
While the ladies abandoned their stalls to gawk at him, Seungju kept his eyes modestly downcast.
“Eunseo-noona must be so happy just looking at her husband’s face.”
Eunseo, tired of correcting them, swallowed her frustration silently.
“I’ll just take a thousand won’s worth of bean sprouts, please.”
“A thousand won for him alone would be gone in one meal!”
Despite her teasing, the vegetable vendor packed an unusually large amount of bean sprouts into a bag for Eunseo, far more than the usual portion she bought.
At the butcher and fishmonger, it was the same. Each vendor almost competed to give more, piling meat and fish generously. Despite the butcher’s complaints, his wife kept adding more meat to the scale, and at the fish store, buying one mackerel got Eunseo a large Spanish mackerel as a bonus.
“Thank you.”
Seungju bowed gratefully, and the ladies were thrilled.
Eunseo thought to herself that there were indeed benefits to having him around as she paid for the fish.
“Make sure to feed your husband well. Just eat a little yourself, okay?”
Eunseo left in a huff, annoyed at the overt favoritism.
“I want to go home.”
Seungju hurriedly followed, carrying the heavy bags.
“I’ll carry them.”
But Eunseo’s mood didn’t lighten easily.
Normally, she wouldn’t buy much at the market, maybe just bean sprouts or tofu. Especially meat or fish was a rare purchase. Today was different because of Seungju.
“You must have had it easy in life, getting attention everywhere you go…”
She stopped herself mid-sentence, remembering his circumstances. His life certainly couldn’t be called easy.
Eunseo recalled yelling at Kwon Seungju just before the accident.
“You’ve never known hardship or sleepless nights, crying your heart out.”
“I have a piece of advice for you. People like you shouldn’t give advice.”
Now she regretted speaking so carelessly. How could she have known anything about his life?
Suddenly, Eunseo blurted out, “I’m sorry.”
Seungju glanced at her with a smile.
“Why are you sorry, noona?”
Eunseo turned away, finding it hard to meet his gaze.
“It’s nothing.”
She wanted to apologize, but the man she had known was gone. This thought brought a chill to her heart.

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: “…”
