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?6eb5e55477e7c4e3
Seojun suddenly felt like 74f1820117 a piece of human af7af2d44c garbage. He figured Park fe56dc91dd Da-in, who was f0cae1b1ba speaking with a ab393de134 calm face, probably 35b08af717 felt the same d505c6468d way.0ceb4dd82c1ac98d

“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.”131f8ee1c4c25888

Complete indifference. She didn’t even seem upset, speaking as if she were talking about someone else. But Da-in’s words cut Seojun more sharply than any blade. Seojun’s eyes hardened. He threw off his robe and pulled on a t-shirt.9a4bb9ab5385bb50
“I need to go down there and see. What’s going on. If what you’re saying is true, both me and my family are real trash.”732c4bfc9214bae4

“I never said that.”72c25badcdddbfe5
Da-in retorted in 92fa7c4e7f a monotone voice. Seojun knew 656217af56 well that 2c3a6b5dba Da-in didn’t 0b0815b2a7 speak unnecessarily. If she 1c4744365e was speaking 668fed9e47 with such 6bf57de0c4 conviction, something a2e284bff7 was definitely d847db5245 happening downstairs. Leaving Da-in behind, he 19542311c6 went down to the e907ed64c3 first floor, where a a5750440cf welcoming voice greeted him.49b6514f3d3330aa

Junghee’s face hardened. If he made 0e600ce74e a wrong move d5299f2932 and let slip 29b35cba98 that he had 449b54929f a wife upstairs, 49154666ca the marriage with 24666d33c4 Heejoo would be 7743484726 completely off the cb22efe9b9 table.5b1386469e9eaab8

Besides, he had known Heejoo since she was young, as she often visited with Seowoo, so he felt a certain affection for her. If it weren’t for the sham marriage, he would have rushed to marry Heejoo immediately.febf34b8fe711ffc

The topic of marriage had somehow come up. If Heejoo was here, Park Da-in’s feelings must be hurt.4da4826a1e581245
He went back upstairs. Da-in was lying on her side with her eyes closed. He knew she wasn’t asleep. Seojun quietly lay down on his back beside her. Park Da-in’s back was turned to him, and he felt a pang of sympathy for her. Why did her back look so forlorn?ee96f246cc4df998
