Melting Slow

My boyfriend is getting married. With my younger sister. 

“I’m sorry. But you can’t help it when feelings change, right?”

I tried to hold back. Until he threatened me with cruel words.

“I warned you, don’t mess with Nari!”

“Do I seem like someone who would torment my sister for revenge?”

“Yes, because you’re ruthless, unlike Nari.”

So, I decided to really become as ruthless as he says. Even if it means starting a fake relationship with the man he so feared.

“Tell me, Chae Yeo-min. Why should I marry you?”

My ex-boyfriend’s rival, Yoo Hwan. The sole heir to Taeju Group, a charming yet dangerous man. I already knew what he wanted from me: a simple woman who wouldn’t nag him to love her, a hollow wife who wouldn’t demand affection.

At first, I thought I could be that kind of woman.

“If you wanted to protect yourself from me, you should have done it properly. Even now, you’re still full of gaps.”

That was until I melted under his unexpected sweetness.

“Yes, Chae Yeomin seems suitable enough.”

A large hand grazed Yeo-min’s nape, slowly moving in.

“Good family background, decent education, pretty face, and…”

As the tense Yeo-min swallowed nervously, he smiled loosely.
