A Twisted Reunion

For five years, did you have fun without me?\r\n\r\nThere was one thing my husband, Joo Tae-jun, said to me on our wedding day.\r\n\r\n“…Smile. You got what you wanted, so why the long face?”\r\n\r\nOur marriage, built on nothing but cold calculations and a contract, felt like an endless, dark tunnel.\r\n\r\nThen, 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.\r\n\r\nThere was no way my child could grow up safely in a household where treating people like objects was the norm.\r\n\r\nSo, I left him with a lie—that I had found another man.\r\n\r\nFive years passed.\r\n\r\nAnd then—\r\n\r\n“Five years. Did you enjoy yourself?”\r\n\r\nThe moment I heard his voice, my whole body froze.\r\n\r\n“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.”\r\n\r\nI forced my stiff body to turn—and there he was.\r\n\r\n“My turn now. This time, I’m never letting you go.”\r\n\r\nMy ex-husband. My first love.\r\n\r\nThe man I once left behind.
