Feeling unjust, Yiseol raised her voice.
“And who asked you to come for a long time? Just pretend you don’t know and stop turning people’s lives upside down!”
Jiwan picked up the jacket he had taken off.
Above the seemingly indifferent expression, an inexplicable boredom was revealed.
“Try it, wherever. Let’s see how far we can go. If I have to do this for you, is this what it is.”
Knock, knock.
Jiwan, who was about to enter the hospital room, hesitated in the stern atmosphere.
“The reporter?”
“I couldn’t stop it. Because I was caught red-handed by ‘Dispatch’ lurking in front of the house.”
It was a notorious paparazzi media famous for dating coverage.
Two years ago, it was the first place to make an article out of the photo of Jiwan and Yiseol meeting in Jeju Island.
“The company says it’s due to excessive fatigue from an unreasonable schedule. Doesn’t everyone know that by now? It’s not the first or second time Yiseol has done this.”
“Watch and wait, I’ll contact you. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll find another route.” Jeonghyeok shouted towards Jiwan as he walked out of the hospital room.
“Why, did you get caught by ‘Dispatch’?”
Even in this situation, it was a joke that no one would laugh at.
Jeonghyeok glanced at Yiseol with a helpless look.
“Well, please.”
As Jiwan asked Jeonghyeok and left the hospital room, the woman added another remark to Jiwan’s back.
“If you can’t live, then just mess everything up! Huh?”
Suddenly, Jeonghyeok’s sigh followed.
In the late hours, the time Jiwan returned to Hwanandong instead of going to the officetel was after 3 a.m. Waiting should have been unnecessary, and it would have been less consuming to go to my own officetel in the city after a few hours of work. However, why did I come to Hwanandong? Even though I know it, it was something I couldn’t figure out.
However, when I saw the woman who had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room, hugging her legs, it became clear.
“…Sigh.”
Even though I told her not to wait, I knew she would wait.
So, I came here as if possessed, again like this.
The cool air from the air conditioner brought up a warm something deep in my lungs.
“Yeah, this is how Kang Doo-um should be.”
I covered the jacket that Jiwan was wearing over the shoulders of the woman who had curled up in the cold air caused by the air conditioner.
Did I think she would come?
Or did I wait knowing she wouldn’t come?
Whether it was the former or the latter, it wasn’t what I wanted.
The conclusion was already decided.
A marriage that started with a predetermined ending, like this for the woman, was a waiting without any certainty throughout.
The confidence I could give to the woman in the face of numerous tasks and exams in front of me was just a divorce in 6 months, at most a year.
This little woman shouldn’t expect anything from me anymore.
Even though I told her not to wait, I knew she would wait, so I shouldn’t have come like this.
If you’re told not to wait, then don’t wait.
If you’re told not to do anything for me, then just don’t do anything. That’s all I wanted.
Making hopes that will soon collapse was not consideration but torture.
Jiwan went out that way again, took the steering wheel, and drove away, passing through that path, coming to the woman, and then running away.
Before the awakened woman could ask, before I wanted to answer that question.
The man didn’t come all night.
No, to be precise, he seemed to have dropped by for a moment, changed his clothes, and left again.
Whether it was a woman named Yiseol or the officetel where I lived alone, chasing after the jacket the man wore, if he didn’t come to me himself, he undoubtedly just took off the jacket and left.
It seemed that he didn’t even think about waking me up, or perhaps didn’t think about lying down on the bed like before.
Just by seeing him take off the jacket and leave again.
‘Well, was he in a hurry? As if I’m not even worth looking at. Tsk!’
Help took small revenge by putting Jiwan’s jacket in the wardrobe and glaring at it every time he went back and forth.
“Madam, are you feeling unwell? The onset of a new month, even a dog wouldn’t catch a cold, but you’re sneezing so much, and your eyes, they look a bit swollen. Well, you don’t look so good.”
The plain-spoken concern of the daughter-in-law, who came from Jeolla Province to Chungcheong Province after getting married, made the gardener, Mrs. Kim, poke her side with a gruff sound.
“Considering that this gentleman spoke to you, I apologize, Madam. This person has been moving around here and there, and his way of speaking is a bit…”
Although the way of speaking might be rough, as sincere as the daughter-in-law was in her concern, Mrs. Kim smiled at her.
“What are you talking about? We became close so quickly because of your impeccable way of speaking. I’m fine, very fine, so please don’t say such things.”
After Mrs. Kim left, Help whispered to the daughter-in-law with her ear.
“I think today is that day. Every woman makes a fuss like this every month, saying they’re going to do what all women do.”
It was uncomfortable to sleep all night, and on top of that, the monthly visit of menstrual pain, equipped with headaches and body aches, inevitably arrived.
“Oh, I see. If you have any discomfort, please don’t endure it, and talk to me anytime. Since I’ll take care of everything, okay?”
“Yes, shall we start from the second floor?”
Tying the white apron tightly, Help stood up cheerfully.
As always, when you diligently move your body, you forget it all completely.
It was worth a try.
[Eden Entertainment, Yoon Isol. Emergency measures due to excessive sleeping pill intake.]
The company’s plan to cover up by simply attributing it to accumulated fatigue collapsed under Dispatch’s persistence.
Not only did it decorate the front page with dating gossip, but Jiwan’s name and Bando Construction also rose to the top of the real-time search rankings all day long.
“What should we do?”
Wooseok cautiously asked Jiwan, who didn’t take his eyes off the documents.
“What else can we do.”
“Even now, should we prepare a rebuttal article in the PR department?”
“There’s no incorrect information in the article, is there?”
“What?”
“Both Isol’s excessive sleeping pill intake and my visit to Korea Hospital are true, that’s what I mean.”
Tak.
At the end of the leisurely voice, Jiwan finished reviewing the documents, folded them, and stood up from his seat.
“Let’s go.”
“What? Uh, where…?”
“Who else. Rather than the HR team leader who will go out to confirm the facts, who would call me first?”
As if waiting, even before Jiwan finished speaking, the secretary’s office team leader entered.
“An Seodong, Chairman Jang is calling.”
Seeming later than expected, the employee’s forehead lightly creased as he raised his left wrist to check the time.

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: “…”
