Synopsis
“After barely escaping death, is this really all you’re going to do with your second chance?”
Ever since I lost my memory in an accident, the man who calls himself my husband has been nothing but cold toward me.
As it turns out, we were in an arranged marriage and had been living separately. On top of that, I was the only daughter of a chaebol family, but one they had practically disowned. My former self had apparently been a spoiled, arrogant, and utterly uncontrollable brat who believed the world revolved around her.
With nowhere else to go, I had no choice but to cling to my husband for support.
“Didn’t you say that just being under the same roof as me gave you hives?”
“H-Hives…?”
“That I disgusted you and made your skin crawl.”
“I disgusted you, and made your skin crawl, too…”
Hey, Baek Ijun. Were you seriously planning to live like today was your last day on earth?
“Instead, let’s do things properly this time.”
Seeing me hesitate, unable to understand what he meant, he repeated himself in a clear, firm voice.
“I’m suggesting we get rid of the condition that we wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private lives as long as we fulfilled our public obligations.”
“Then…”
His shadow suddenly loomed over me as he stepped closer, firmly gripping my shoulders. His lips came close to my ear, and he whispered in an intensely low voice.
“Let’s stop being a couple in name only and become a real married couple.”
His fingers traced my collarbone with a slow, teasing touch, radiating heat. Paying no attention to how stiffly I had frozen beneath his touch, he continued whispering.
“To do that, I think we’ll have to start by sharing a bed…”
“……”
“Can you handle that?”
His unwavering gaze met mine, shining with a cold, ruthless intensity.
