Remarry? He’d barely just married Park Da-in. Even if it was a 100-day contract, they weren’t even divorced yet, and remarry?ec1fa38f22d0909b

“Can you take 156561d15e responsibility for those fc5cf54eaa words?” he asked.8764351c0b632f19
“I should be asking you that. You should know better than I do what’s going on, right? She said she’s the woman you’ll remarry. Amazing. Even if it’s a contract marriage, two days after getting married, I find out who you’ll be remarrying after divorcing me. Amazing. Speedy and efficient, I guess.”9dffb84696d0fbf3

Da-in retorted in a a62fed7a4f monotone voice. Seojun knew 31d19ba149 well that b0294d5701 Da-in didn’t 460eeb7e6f speak unnecessarily. If she d0e0f91008 was speaking 3d9c7d37d7 with such 47e8d42255 conviction, something 2689bba823 was definitely f1fee3d7fd happening downstairs.
