Synopsis
“You nearly died and barely managed to survive, yet this is all you can think of doing? Such pointless nonsense.”
After losing my memory in an accident, I discover that my so-called husband is as cold as ice.
As it turns out, ours was a political marriage, and we had been living separately. I was the only daughter of a chaebol family, but also the unwanted child—someone who had once been an arrogant, self-centered, and utterly spoiled troublemaker who thought the world revolved around her.
With nowhere else to go, I have no choice but to cling to my husband for the time being…
“Didn’t you say that simply being under the same roof as me gave you hives?”
“H-Hives…?”
“That I disgusted you and gave you the creeps.”
“I disgusted you… and gave you the creeps, too…?”
Hey, Baek I-jun. Were you really planning to live only for today?
“Then let’s do things properly this time.”
Seeing that I still didn’t understand what he meant, he repeated himself in a clear, firm voice.
“I’m suggesting we get rid of the agreement that we would fulfill our public responsibilities but stay out of each other’s private lives.”
“Then…”
His shadow suddenly loomed over me as he stepped closer, firmly gripping my shoulders. His lips came close to my ear, and his dangerously low voice whispered:
“Let’s stop being a couple in name only and become a real married couple.”
His fingers brushed teasingly against my collarbone, their touch burning with heat. Ignoring how stiffly I stood beneath his touch, he continued to whisper.
“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 ruthless glint.
