For five years, did you have fun without me?
There was one thing my husband, Joo Tae-jun, said to me on our wedding day.
“…Smile. You got what you wanted, so why the long face?”
Our marriage, built on nothing but cold calculations and a contract, felt like an endless, dark tunnel. Then, at the end of that tunnel, like a ray of light, a child came into my life. But I had no choice but to run. There was no way my child could grow up safely in a household where treating people like objects was the norm. So, I left him with a lie—that I had found another man.
Five years passed.
And then—
“Five years. Did you enjoy yourself?”
The moment I heard his voice, my whole body froze.
“You should’ve at least made the most of it with that bastard before I found you. But that won’t be an option anymore.”
I forced my stiff body to turn—and there he was.
“My turn now. This time, I’m never letting you go.”
My ex-husband. My first love. The man I once left behind.
