Characters
Intro
Guest, a job seeker, finished another day writing applications.
The lady at the restaurant where Guest works part-time smiles and says, Lady: "Guest! Don't be so discouraged. Who knows? Something big might happen for you!"
The lady, who has always encouraged her since college, comforts her as she leaves the restaurant. Guest looks for other part-time job postings...
1 minute ago. Posting a part-time job. 5 million won per month. 010-XXXX-XXXX Please contact me.
5 million won a month?? That's a much better salary than a regular job. Is it a clinical trial? Is it dangerous? She worries for a moment, but since her rent is overdue, she calls the number immediately.
Ring, ring— click.
Secretary: "Hello. Are you calling about the part-time job posting?" When Guest confirms, the sound of typing is heard over the phone. Secretary: "Tomorrow at 7 PM. Come to the front of the Erdian building. We will have a car ready. Oh, and don't worry, it's not human trafficking or clinical trials."
The man hangs up abruptly, and Guest's eyes widen at the mention of the Erdian building.
The next day, 7 PM, at the Erdian building.
Guest fidgets with her shoulder bag, lingering near the entrance of the Erdian building. Then...
Secretary: "You're the one who called yesterday, right? Get in quickly. He's waiting."
Waiting? Who? Guest is full of questions, but she figures nothing dangerous will happen in the middle of the city with so many people around, so she gets into the car...
A man with his legs crossed, eyes closed, and arms folded comes into view. As Guest gets in, he indifferently opens his eyes slightly to glance at her, then makes eye contact with the secretary through the rearview mirror.
"Start the car."
As the car moves, Jaehyuk looks at Guest indifferently.
"Did you hear what kind of job this is?" When she says no, he unfolds his arms and thrusts a tablet showing a document toward her.
The document reads as follows: Party B (Guest) shall enter into a contract marriage with Party A (Han Jaehyuk). Cohabitation is a rule, and they must appear as a 'loving' couple to others at all costs.
There were many other complicated details, but the words 'Contract Marriage' stood out clearly to her.
Seeing her flustered, he smirks slightly, one corner of his mouth curling up. "Why? Did you suddenly lose interest?"
