Kang Woo, the man who was unparalleled in the world, seemed dazed for a moment.
Soon, his slender eyes, which didn’t smile, narrowed.
“Are you upset about the delay in reporting our marriage? That was because we were busy with the collaboration project. I even asked for your understanding.”
“Yes, I said I’d understand. At that time, you, Kang Woo, were too busy to even go on a honeymoon.”
“……”
“It’s better this way, no complications.”
Se Ah, who had momentarily gone into the room, came out and laid out a desk calendar in front of him. Kang Woo’s eyes fell onto the sparse red circles marked on the calendar.
A moment later, there was bewilderment filled in his dark eyes.
“It’s marked the days when you came home early. The days we ate dinner together.”
“Huh. You had it all planned out.”
He muttered a low laugh as he picked up the calendar. From the present month of September, flipping one page after the other, there were months marked with three circles, and rarely, some even with four.
“To say I was indifferent to our marriage life in this way.”
“I’m not blaming you.”
“You’ve never mentioned even once that this was a problem, and suddenly you want a divorce.”
“Even if I did, Kang Woo, you’re a person who prioritizes business.”
Leaning back against the chair, Kang Woo looked down at Se Ah. The coldest smile she had ever seen brushed past him.
“Why did you marry me? You must’ve known this would happen.”
As Se Ah closed off her words completely, he slowly cornered her.
“We didn’t date, but we’ve known each other for quite some time, right? You knew I’m not the affectionate type.”
At his unresponsive growling tone, her long eyelashes rose as if tearing. Se Ah just stared at his face before parting her lips.
“You’ll be more comfortable when we break up, Kang Woo. You won’t have to make time for meals and sleep out of obligation. Also, you won’t have to ask your secretary to prepare gifts on anniversaries.”
The corner of his eyebrows, which he had barely maintained in tranquility, sharply furrowed.
“Just break up with me. Living with you, Kang Woo, I can’t do it anymore.”
“……”
“We don’t have anything special to sort out, we don’t have a child, nor any documents to arrange.”
At the calm tone of Se Ah, Kang Woo looked stunned. Leaving him behind, Se Ah got up first.
“I will leave as soon as possible because it will be uncomfortable for you to live with me here.”
“Se Ah.”
Standing up, Kang Woo gripped Se Ah’s wrist as if capturing it.
Tears welled up in her clear eyes, but she did not cry.
Kang Woo felt a churning sensation in his stomach at the intuition that she wasn’t saying this out of petulance.
“I don’t regret marrying you, Kang Woo. I truly mean it.”
Pretending not to notice Kang Woo’s trembling gaze, Se Ah removed his hand. After returning to the bedroom coldly, she stood leaning against the door.
Perhaps for Kang Woo, this marriage was a matter of responsibility. Just like when he was teaching children in the orphanage.
The bittersweet memories of 8 years eventually turned into tears and flowed down.

Se Ah grew up in a childcare facility on the outskirts of Seoul.
Everyone had different reasons for ending up here, but there was one case that the children envied. That is, having the parents or relatives they dreamed of coming to find them.
Fortunately or unfortunately, she didn’t even have to dream such a vain dream. She was told by the director that she was handed over to the nursery almost immediately after birth.
As the long loneliness and emptiness passed, she turned 17. With the impending need to leave the facility once she turned 18, the future looked bleak. Her grades were good, but considering her current situation, university seemed like a luxury.
Still, she continued studying. If she could at least do well in her studies, she would be able to live a normal life.
When the midterm exam was not far away, Se Ah was studying in a quiet room, suddenly lost in thought. Lifting her head at the sound, the director was beside her, not knowing when she had arrived. For some reason, her usually tight lips were slightly loosened.
“Is your studying going well?”
“Yes.”
“I think there’s some good news for you. Go inside and change into tidy clothes.”
The director glanced down at the heavily scratched jeans that partially exposed her knee.
Without a word of objection, Se Ah returned to her room and changed into her cleanest clothes.
A while later, Se Ah entered the director’s office. In the center of the room, the director and some strangers sat facing each other on a long sofa. The visitors were a middleaged man with a sharp impression and a blue, beautiful young man.
“Se Ah, come here.”
Under the surprisingly gentle gesture of the principal, Se Ah approached and bowed slightly to the strangers.
“This is the child.”
The middleaged man’s gaze lingered on Se Ah for a long time. It was a very careful and cold gaze.
“I heard she is Ji Se Ah.”
