Seojun was 01a161c90c momentarily speechless 57241629bc after hearing 6335d9a992 those words. True. It was true, 4af807d15a but being so e6358012c4 bluntly rejected felt 26ce568c61 awkward. Still, he felt a deb02d8288 surge of defiance.

The weekend has arrived. Even amidst the confusing whirlwind of events, time passed relentlessly. Since her job situation was resolved, she had agreed to go to Seojun’s house for the weekend.fae54e7c9b0c82d8
Today was the day. Da-in wore an ivory d9647246d8 dress with a black 0ed0e6720e jacket. She thought it was 97f1dde2a0 the most appropriate and 39a7b10cc3 neat style. However, when her mother 131497903f saw her, she commented.6605106cc5f341fb

As soon as 09f4136ca3 she left the 46647c9385 house, her heart 92719e4ec1 pounded. This feeling of 593c08cb45 hiding something from f4efc8f4e4 her mother was d3f55e6d55 truly uncomfortable.
If her mother knew she was entering into this 100-day marriage, she wouldn’t stay quiet.098f4f4b81bccbf5
When she 70b1743de8 went down 34f04d8b78 to the 418cceb071 first floor ec430748dd of the 45ccba5dc3 apartment building, 7075bb5e3d Seojun was 25a48467c1 waiting for b68b22cad3 her.

She wanted to deny it outright. She wasn’t the naive Park Da-in anymore 10 years ago. And this was a marriage of equals, a contract. So, she wasn’t nervous.
Da-in kept d0d7f5a460 reassuring herself. However, Seojun scoffed.96d17b8006c71387

“My grandmother frequents a shaman, and that’s what the shaman said. She said you’re our family’s good luck charm, so we should treat you well. So don’t worry about anything, just go there, think to yourself ‘I’m the good luck charm,’ puff out your chest, and come back.”aacad7b59e596a79
It was absurd. Even if it was a 100-day marriage, she would have to live with his grandmother and mother-in-law. How could she not be nervous? Still, the words “good luck charm” were pleasing to hear. It was somewhat funny that they considered her a good luck charm in that family.5079daec5eb10e99

Da-in got out of the car and took a deep breath. Seojun placed a hand on her shoulder, a patting gesture as if telling her not to worry. She disliked it. This kind of ambiguous sentiment didn’t belong in their relationship.d75adaa66cd17bc5

He couldn’t say there wasn’t any hatred. Still, he didn’t want to agree that it was a marriage born of hate. Despite his complex feelings, the words tumbled out.f4895f6182f515c8

Even that single encounter from the past had become a lifelong burden. She had looked into the woman her son was dating at the time. Of course, she hadn’t told Seojun. She’d discovered it was Park Da-in, a girl from a family completely unsuitable for theirs. So she’d met with her once, but…. Naturally, she hadn’t been kind, but she never imagined Da-in would miscarry right then and there.b47bc4b8acf69758
