It was late in the evening when Harin arrived at Sarang's house.
"Hey!! Song Harin, why are you coming home so late? I was worried."
"....? What the.... No, come to work for a moment."
"Why are you looking like this?? Who hit you?? Is that Kim Taehyung??"
"No... It's nothing... Love... I just want to be alone today... Sorry."
"Huh...? But still...."
"....No...Okay...! Get some rest."
Leaving her worried love behind, Harin went into her room.
Harin wondered why Ji-eun had come to see her that evening.
I thought about it
Soon the question began to spread to the idea that Taehyung was behind it.
However, since she only had a feeling, Harin chose to go back to Taehyung's house to avoid getting involved in love.
I already have no feelings of love for Taehyung
Since there was no one left, Harin calmly packed her simple luggage to go to Taehyung's house and lay down on the bed to sleep.
"I never thought I'd go back there on my own two feet... Is this the only way?"
Why does Harin, the daughter of HL Group, have bodyguards even when she is threatened?
Should I have gone back to Taehyung's house without calling him?
If you ask,
The reason lies in the political marriage between Harin and Taehyung.
Originally, Taehyung was planning to marry the eldest daughter of the HL Group, not Harin, but Harin and Taehyung developed feelings for each other as soon as they met.
Without anyone knowing, the two developed a love for each other. Three months before their engagement, they told their parents about their relationship, and thus, they entered into a marriage of convenience, not a marriage of convenience.
Because of that, HL Group's eldest daughter, Harin's older sister, had to find another marriage partner.
The chairman of TH Group, who wanted to have the eldest daughter of HL Group, who was not only smart but also a director of the company, as his daughter-in-law,
Harin's father, who had put his first daughter and company management shares on the line, was also not happy with Harin and Taehyung's decision to get married.
Because it wasn't...
Harin had nowhere to turn for help.
The next morning
"Love"
"Huh? Harin, why? Are you okay now?"
"Well... I think I'll have to go to Kim Taehyung's house and stay there for a few days."
"What?.....Again... What do you mean?"
"Sorry.. I can't explain right now, but still.."
"Harin... no matter how much I trust you... why are you going to a dangerous place again..."
"Please tell me why..."
"I'm really...sorry, love....I...I'll definitely tell you later..."
".....Ha....Just go..You don't trust me that much.. "
"Love...can you wait just a little bit...?..."
"...You...know how long I've waited...even after you got married and didn't contact me once, I waited, and when you did contact me, I ran to you because you said it was hard...
How long do I have to wait? Of course, since it's what you thought and decided... I won't object. But it's a bit much not to tell me why, isn't it? Song Ha-rin.. "
"I didn't do it because I didn't want to? You said you'd tell me later... This love... You really..."
Harin felt sorry for Sarang, but she was also upset that Sarang did not believe in her.
Harin and Sarang haven't spoken since then, and in the meantime, Harin has finished preparing to go to Taehyung's house.
Before leaving, Harin writes a last note to Sarang.
I headed to Taehyung's house.
When they arrived at Taehyung's house, Harin caught her breath.
Seokjin rang the bell and was surprised to see Harin through the intercom.
I ran quickly to the front door.
"Ma'am?? "
"Is Kim Taehyung here?"
"Yes, yes... But what is going on here...?"
"Oh... Something came up... I guess I'll have to stay for a few more days... Is that okay?"
"Of course! Even though you're apart now, you're still the owner of this place. You can come anytime."
Harin is taken by Seokjin who is hurriedly taking Harin's side.
I laughed.
" ..ugh...."
"Oh... I'm sorry. But it's nice that you welcome me, at least the butler..."
"Ah..hahaha no, of course I should welcome you as your wife haha"
Seokjin's ears instantly turned red like tomatoes.
"Then I'll go..!"
"Oh, yes!"
Harin went to Taehyung's study and opened the door.
Suddenly -
"It's not the butler, it's me."
"Harin..?! "
"Kkkum..! Why did you come here? You could have just gone out on your own."
"I didn't come here because I wanted to... Can I stay here for a few days..?"
"No, it's not like it won't work... but why?"
"I don't know about that. Just talk to me."
"..divorce is absolutely not allowed....."
"I'm going to do that too...
Today, let's talk about your lover, so listen carefully."
"Mistress...? Who are you talking about?"
"Huh... Well, you must have a lot of mistresses..."
"I'm talking about the girl you brought with you that day. I think she was named Ji-eun."
"Ah... her..? She's not like a mistress. I just brought her here for a bit and had a drink with her.
Really, I didn't do anything.. "
"That must be it.. Is love a joke to you..? Is playing with it your hobby?
That kid came to me yesterday. He told me not to get close to you and that if I came to him, he would kill me...”
"What...?... Nothing else happened. Are you okay?"
"Because you keep pretending to give your heart to people and playing with them.
That guy who fell for your disgusting attitude thinks you're only looking at a dog now."
I was harmed yesterday because of that guy's mistake.
I was really crazy to have things like you
I threw everything away...
Now you know why I came here, right? "
"....Are you okay...? Are you hurt anywhere?... I'm really not in contact with that guy right now..."
" her... "
Now, Harin felt disgusted at Taehyung, who was acting as if he was worried about her.
"We've been married for two years, but I still don't know what kind of person you are.
I still clearly remember the cold hand that shook me when I asked you to look at me just once, but you only started worrying about me after we broke up...
Kim Taehyung. What was I to you? Because any feelings I had for you have already left.
So I don't want to go to you anymore... Just answer honestly this time."
".............the person I have to protect"
"Ha...haha...what?"
Harin just laughed at the unexpected words
The misfortunes of the past,
I felt like my marriage, which I had barely managed to hold on to until now, was being denied.
"Really? Someone you want to protect?... I want to protect... I want to protect you...."
Slowly chewing on the words that came out of Taehyung's mouth
Harin muttered softly
"Crazy psycho bastard"
