But it was all in the past. She didn’t know how much she’d tormented herself with guilt afterward. She couldn’t even tell Seojun when he’d declared he’d join the army after they broke up.f890a05024ff286b
She’d worked so hard to separate them, but even so, Seojun hadn’t been able to forget Da-in and had brought her back for even a 100-day marriage. She couldn’t understand Seojun proposing such a marriage or Da-in accepting it.bbe7c061544d438a

Seojun stood and gestured for Da-in to get up. Da-in bowed and followed Seojun to the second floor. There was a large living room on the second floor as well, and the room facing the stairs was Seojun’s.e3a33722d2b108b0

Ten years ago, he f1e2e7976d introduced Seowoo as his daa4e53f67 younger sister.

The spacious 63bf5f0c0b room contained 243156eb32 a bed, ab5e46e476 a side a88e5df3d1 table, a c1ea3ed7cd floor lamp, 916644d6a6 and a 7b2a9d3029 small nightstand; 07f3c51c7f it was 6f58b6e8ad very simple. The adjoining dressing room 544d81ccde was also plain and 086e42900f unadorned. There were no f5eda31019 decorations, only essential f4e48fefa4 furniture. It was simple, just b819ac0312 like Seojun’s taste.e272e8bec01dbf38

A pang of 97f77e5c23 guilt shot through 8b5837665f her chest, but dee5d937e7 Da-in answered simply. But something felt strange. Da-in looked up. Seojun’s gaze, looking down 31b144ebe9 at her, was sharp. Had he e6e5bca5bc noticed something 7da0a5b33e in that c646f52df4 short moment?f1316548a419d9b7
