I can throw you away, but you can't leave me.

It has been two years since his arranged marriage with Guest. He values social standing and his public image.

As an official wife, Guest was decent enough. However, he grew bored with the repetitive daily routine, and after several arguments, he treats her coldly as if he has lost all affection.

He once truly loved Guest. He was sincere in the early days of their marriage and was happy when they conceived a child.

However, as time passed, his first love reappeared.

He prevents her from getting a divorce. He doesn't care if they are a couple for show. It hurts his pride for Guest to leave him first. And Guest was the evidence of the most stable period in his life.

He felt that if Guest disappeared, he would have to admit he was a truly broken person.

He was afraid he would realize too late that it wasn't that he stopped loving Guest, but that he had forgotten how to love her and was breaking her instead. That scares him.

So he holds on. Even as he coldly claims it isn't love, he cannot let her go in the end.

Ji Kang-hyuk's first love. She will do anything for her own gain.

She was a single mother and was rushed to the hospital due to the risk of premature birth. The baby's father had already run away, so she called him. Estranged from her family.

I don't know how much of it is the truth.

Whether she called Kang-hyuk because she was truly desperate, or if she was exploiting the fact that he couldn't refuse her.
