“Are you trying to claim that it was my fault that you and I broke up the marriage?”

This time, I didn’t even get angry and just laughed. How much did this guy suffer from Seong Chan-young so that his thoughts continued to flow in an extreme and negative direction?

‘I’ll let you off the hook cuz you’re such a pitiful guy.’

I told Baek Do-jun neatly and kindly about what was in the envelope.

“No. I’ve just prepared a memorandum that I won’t show up in front of you in the future, and a document that you and I will agree to a breakup.”

“It can’t be……it’s true.”

Baek Do-jun, who was staring at me in disbelief, opened the envelope and immediately caught a pheromone of anger. Inside the envelope was a memorandum of prohibition of access in the same form that I handed to Seo Eun-soo. In addition, the consent form for breaking up the marriage, which is the purpose of today, is also attached.

I thought the signature would be suspicious because of the different handwriting, so I had it stamped. With Baek Do-jun’s signature or seal in the blank space, my future worries will be over.

‘I had such a hard time finding out where the seal stamp is..….’

“Once you agree to that, it’s the end of the relationship between you and me.”

I cut the grilled short rib patties into bite-sized pieces. The savory chestnut filling inside made my mouth water. Baek Do-jun was puzzled when he saw me calmly starting eating first.

“Really, you and I…… You said you’d break up my marriage. Without putting any disadvantage on me like this.”

“Yes, I even told you a few times.”

“…….”

“I know you’ve suffered a lot because of me. However, I hope you don’t dismiss my decision as a lie even now.”

When I put a piece of cool cabbage kimchi on tteok-galbi and swallowed it with white rice, there was no better heaven. I could forget the unpleasant pheromones that Baek Do-jun released just now, thanks to the rice that melts gently in my mouth.

“You didn’t want me to tremble. Because I’ve always bothered you.”

“…….”

“But I’m not asking you to forgive me. I don’t think I can make up for the past when you were hurt by such an apology.”

However,

“I meant it when I said I don’t like you. I didn’t choose you as my fiance because I really didn’t feel anything about you from the beginning.”

“……what are you talking about?”

“It means that I had a heart that likes you and also a heart that hates you.”

This was what I said to Baek Do-jun on behalf of Seong Chan-young. Seong Chan-young in the original work did not admit it until he fell into the abyss and died, but he definitely had a heart for Baek Do-jun.

‘Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of attacking Baek Do-jun.’

Seong Chan-young had not only a sense of inferiority to Seo Eun-soo, but also a desire to be loved by Baek Do-jun. The reason why I’m telling Baek Do-jun this now was not because of compassion for Seong Chan-young, but to break up the marriage with Baek Do-jun more definitely.

‘As I keep looking for reasons, I have no choice but to convince you like this.’

I didn’t feel guilty. This would be a better choice for me and for Baek Do-jun.

This was the best I could do.

Baek Do-jun was quite shocked by the successive confessions, and unlike me, he sat still with a spoon frozen in his hand.

“But why….”

“Not now. My heart for you has cooled down, and I am sick and tired of my ugly jealousy for Seo Eun-soo.”

The next food for chopsticks was bossam [1] with gloss. The bossam with soft, fresh, seasoned vegetables was really fantastic.

He stuffed a handful into a well-mumbling mouth, chewed it carefully, and gulped it over.

“So I decided to quit all of them. I’m not going to live in a pathetic way anymore.”

I’m actually very excited about planning to farm by myself happily. Some truths are sometimes better off not told.

“So, don’t doubt it, and just sign it. That’s my last request.”

“……Then, you will never appear before me again?”

“Yeah. That’s what you wanted, too, right?”

“What about Seo Eun-soo? Did you do this to other guys?”

“Oh, of course. You may go and check for yourself.”

Now that we’ve done everything, there’s nothing to worry about. Seeing my confident attitude, Baek Do-jun eventually moved his hand to sign the broken marriage document.

‘Yay! I’m excited!’

I liked it by flirting only inside. Finally, Seong Chan-young’s fiancé is dropped! Free! Dobby is free!

“I’ll trust you for the first and last time, Sung Chan-young. As you said, it’s good for you and for me, so I’ll sign it.”

Yeah, yeah, you’re doing great. So pretty.

Ever since the encounter with Joo Tae-kang, my affinity for the Gongs has been bottoming out, and I nearly wanted to kiss him on the cheek when Baek Do-jun cooperated.

“But if you’re up to something else with this, keep in mind that I won’t really let you go then.”

‘Are the Gongs here threatening everyday?’

I didn’t mean to cause any accidents, so such threats didn’t tickle [2] my ears.

“Do as you please.”

Don’t look for me. Please.

And then I continued to eat the rice that I was eating deliciously. Baek Do-jun still stared at me without eating a bite.

‘What? What’s wrong with him?’

No matter how delicious the food here is. However, it was embarrassing to eat like a pig in a space alone.

“Why are you looking at me? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“You act like you’ve changed a lot. It’s really amazing.”

Boiled lotus root, which was eaten well, choked up in his throat. He hurriedly drank cold water, and answered in a more irritating tone of Seong Chan-young.

“I am what? Don’t talk too much and just eat. This is going to be the last meal between you and me.”

Of course, I thought that Baek Do-jun would not listen to me here and would get up from his seat. Because Baek Do-jun hates Sung Chan-young terribly.

“……I will.”

Strangely, Baek Do-jun accepted what I said and began to eat. I already swept away many dishes with my skillful chopsticks, and even though there were not many side dishes left, he ate quietly.

‘What? What the heck?’

Even the pheromones had stabilized again, and the calm forest scent was emanating, which made me more anxious. It would have been more comfortable if he had gone out saying that I would not see you again because of this. 

But Baek Do-jun stayed until the end and ate. Not even a grain of rice was left.

By the time I went out, I brought up the story of breaking up the marriage first. This is what I was supposed to say but…….

“What are you going to do with both families about the breakup?”

“I’ll tell them on my own, so you don’t have to worry. I said I’d do the engagement and the breakup first, so this is my responsibility.”

“So you did know the word responsibility.”

What are you doing?

I’m not even the real Seong Chan-young, yet I was annoyed at the words that showed the intention of brushing off. Does he think I’m stupid?

“Hmm…… Would you be alright by yourself? I think your chairman will hate it very much.”

“I’ll take care of that. Mind your own business. You’re not even my fiance anymore.”

It was weird. I can’t believe Baek Do-jun was worried about Sung Chan-young. If I were you, I wouldn’t care if my grandfather, the chairman, broke it or not.

‘Is he a pushover…?’

Baek Do-jun’s attitude was gentle enough to make me think so.

“I heard that you broke up with Seong Chan-young because you’re in a good mood.”

I didn’t want to dig deeper, so I gave it some thought and decided to let go. I have achieved my purpose; I am no longer interested in Baek Do-jun.

Now, all I really had to do was leave to farm.

Baek Do-jun has been quite confused lately. It was because the behavior of Seong Chan-young, a vicious fiance who regarded him as a slave, was suspicious.

The beginning was when the housekeeper, Lim, who was planted in Seong Chan-young’s house, was kicked out.

“……What did you just say?”

[That’s what he says. Young master. Seong Chan-young has sent me off to give me a vacation.]

“A vacation?”

The one who’s so picky as if he can’t eat a spoonful of rice without someone else’s care?

After receiving Lim’s call, Do-jun briefly suspected that she was lying to him.

However, there was no way that Lim, a nanny who had been with Baek Do-jun since he was young, would betray him. Lim’s voice, which sounded as if she had experienced something completely unexpected, also helped.

“Then did Seong Chan-young hire a new person during that period?”

If not, I thought there would be a hotel or villa somewhere. With a few Dominant Alpha’s to kill the fun as usual.

‘That’s what Seong Chan-young does.’

Baek Do-jun was persistently bullied by Seong Chan-young in the name of his fiance for a long time. As such, he has a good grasp of how Sung Chan-young will move.

[No]

However, this time, Baek Do-jun’s guess was wrong.

[He said he’d be left alone at home without anyone around. He said he needed time to be alone.]

“What?”

The sun had risen from the west. Baek Do-jun nearly screamed.
