Before I was your wife, I was Kim Yeo-ju
EP.01 Namnam
< KU, the agency of idol singer Jeon Jungkook, officially acknowledged the dating rumors, and it was confirmed that the identity of Jungkook's lover has not been clearly revealed and is currently being speculated... >
김여주
...What should we do with our top star Jeon Jungkook?
김여주
This is how things work out...
The female protagonist, who was standing in front of the agency dragging a small carrier and secretly smiling, carefully walked into the building.
Smart,
There was a short knock, and then the door opened, revealing the female protagonist through the crack. Her father, visible through the crack, had a rather troubled expression on his face.
김여주
Hello, Mr. Chairman.
The female lead, who greeted him with a pleasant smile, raised her head and turned her gaze to see Jungkook lying on the small sofas in the chairman's office with his legs stretched out as if he were at home.
김여주
Oh, Jungkook was there too?
전정국
Yes, it's been a while, Miss Yeoju. How have you been?
전정국
I really wanted to see it
I frowned at how annoying it was to see Jeongguk smiling like that.
김여주
It's been a while, but I didn't really want to see you, maybe because I didn't feel happy to see you.
After finishing her words in a firm and cold tone, Yeo-ju sat down across from Jeong-guk and took out a white envelope from her bag.
The chairman, who had been quietly watching the two talking, smiled and went to his seat.
김우빈
What's in that envelope, lady?
김여주
I don't usually get to see my dad, so I have to take good care of him at times like this. Don't you think so?
After finishing speaking, the female protagonist hands the envelope to the chairman, but he waves it away, so the female protagonist puts it in his hand himself.
김여주
Okay. I'll try to be a filial daughter too.
김우빈
I guess I haven't wasted my life - having a daughter like this.
A smile lingered on the chairman's face. Yeo-ju met Jeong-guk's eyes and the corners of her mouth lowered slightly.
김여주
So, what are the terms of your contract, Jeongguk?
전정국
I am marrying the lady.
김우빈
Lady, that's... I haven't approved it yet -
김여주
No, let me hear the whole story. Why me?
전정국
It's hard to touch the lovers... The female lead is pretty.
전정국
Just like any other idol - that face.
Clearly, Jeon Jungkook is the one who keeps our company afloat, and he asked me to marry him on the condition of a 5-year contract…
김여주
Do you think that makes sense?
김여주
I wonder if this is the Joseon Dynasty, but I can easily refuse this offer.
김여주
I'm curious as to why you set these conditions. What are you thinking?
전정국
I don't think Yeoju would be able to refuse the 5-year contract.
전정국
Honestly, it's hard without me here.
A single word from Jeongguk, driving a wedge, instantly cooled the atmosphere.
김여주
Mr. Jungkook, you need to learn how to be more selective with your words.
전정국
Good, you can just let the heroine know.
전정국
Let's decide quickly. Should I just throw it all away and go home?
전정국
Or, should I go to the new house with Yeoju?
김여주
..the decision is mine. Please refrain from making offensive remarks.
전정국
No - if you don't answer quickly, I'll lose interest.
전정국
Then I have no choice but to take that decision.
김여주
What now..!
전정국
I'm giving you the opportunity to choose.
전정국
You're hanging off a cliff right now
전정국
I'm the only one who can save you from that cliff.
김여주
......
전정국
how is it ?
전정국
I want to reach out and fall to that bottomless pit
전정국
Or do you want to trust me and hold my hand and come up?
김여주
Is this... a threat or an invitation?
전정국
Depending on your choice, it can be either a threat or an invitation _
전정국
How about it, Miss Yeoju? I think this is a pretty good threat. Don't you think?
The slightly raised eyebrows on Jeongguk's face were strangely irritating. This was a threat. The livelihoods of the company's employees were at stake.
If I ignore this threat to save my life, many people will die.
It's almost embarrassing to even call it a choice, because every condition points to acceptance so precisely. It's a known trap, but we have no choice but to fall for it and confirm it...
김여주
Let's do that. But on the condition that the period be extended to 7 years.
김여주
And after 7 years, we are strangers again.
