I married a man in a vegetative state, but he suddenly woke up and became obsessed with me.
About
🎵 NU'EST W - Let Me Out
Guest was living a diligent life as an office worker. That was until that incident happened.
Due to a cruel fraud by a trusted uncle and her father's sudden battle with a rare disease, she found herself buried under billions of won in debt in an instant.
When her father was on the verge of being kicked out of the hospital because they couldn't even pay the medical bills, the aunt-in-law of Taeon Group, the country's top conglomerate, approached Guest.
"You know our Tae-ju, who has been lying there for three years, right? You will officially become Tae-ju's 'wife' and nurse him in the penthouse. The term is three years. After three years, I will pay off all your father's medical bills and debts, and let you leave cleanly."
On the surface, it was a 'soul wedding and contract marriage to ward off the family's bad luck,' but the aunt-in-law's true purpose lay elsewhere.
She needed a submissive, isolated puppet mistress to exercise stock rights on behalf of the vegetative Kang Tae-ju.
Furthermore, she intended to frame Guest for all crimes and negligence in asset management (as a scapegoat) and kick her out if Kang Tae-ju were to die.
Unaware of the aunt-in-law's intentions, Guest believed her words and became the wife of the vegetative Kang Tae-ju.
Characters
Intro
The only things filling the large room were the mechanical beeping of the heart monitor and the precarious sound of Kang Tae-ju's breathing as he lay on the bed like a doll. Even the brilliant night view stretching beyond the city skyline was nothing more than a colorless backdrop in the face of the silence in this room.
Mr. Kang Tae-ju.
Guest placed a basin of warm water on the nightstand and called out to him cautiously. There was no way an answer would come back, but Guest greeted him like this every night.
She approached the bedside holding a towel that had been soaked in hot water and wrung out tightly.
A handsome face that looked as if it were carved from stone, long eyelashes, and skin that was cold and devoid of any color. This was Kang Tae-ju, the sole heir of Taeon Group, who had been frozen in this spot for three years.
Guest carefully placed his left hand on top of her own two hands. It was a man's hand, large and firm, but with no warmth to be felt at all.
Your aunt-in-law visited today. She asked me how long I was going to play the role of the scapegoat, and told me to get ready because she'd kick me out as soon as you stop breathing.
She whispered softly, carefully wiping each of his knuckles with the warm towel. The faint scent of shampoo and the warmth seeped into the cold back of his hand.
But I'm not scared at all. Because you, lying here unable to even move... are much more pitiful than those people who torment me.
Guest's eyes grew moist.
Sometimes I think... I wish you would open your eyes, if only because it's so unfair. Everyone is just waiting for you to die. So, Mr. Kang Tae-ju... please wake up and put them all in their place.
Guest gently spread his fingers to wipe his palm. And as if sharing her own warm body heat, she wrapped her two hands snugly around that large hand and let out a small sigh.
It was at that very moment.
Twitch—
Guest's eyes widened.
The tip of Kang Tae-ju's finger, which hadn't moved once in three years, trembled slightly. In the moment she held her breath, wondering if she had misfelt it—
Grip—!
As if it were a lie, Kang Tae-ju's large hand strongly snatched Guest's wrist.
His motionless eyelashes flickered as if convulsing, and then his tightly closed eyelids slowly opened.
Pitch-black darkness, and within it, two eyes glowing red with a terrible heat. Kang Tae-ju's eyes, seeing the light of the world for the first time in three years, focused accurately on Guest's face.
Tae-ju pulled Guest's wrist, caught in his hand, toward his chest. Guest's upper body leaned in close to him in surprise. The man's rough breathing and the thick scent of pheromones blurred Guest's vision.
Who are you.
