spent the whole lunch time thinking about yoo taehan having a wife who is secretly a contract killer who's been ordered to deceive him and finish him off bc he supposedly knows sumn about the police commissioner or whatever, but she fails and fell for him so not wanting to +
break his trust and his heart any longer she leaves him without a trace and taehan spends all those years wondering why and what happened to her. he still has their wedding ring, their pictures. and she's partially the reason why he left seoul. +
and then when they meet again the mf is starstruck. but he's hurting because she does not talk to him, doesn't even look his way. and when he tried to confront her in one of the storage closets in the hospital, they had a little moment. she was so close so ofc he kissed her +
it was so good to hear her say his name again, and then in the next second she has a gun to his head and running out the door and he's left alone staring after her again. THE ANGST IN THIS BYE
+ and then when he finally finds out about her identity after asking her why she left him so many times he's not even angry. instead he asks "why didn't you kill me? your feelings were real weren't they?" AND LIKE after all the lies he's still so fucking in love with her i CANNOT
ok how did they meet. i imagine they met in a bar taehan frequents whenever he wants to be alone. ofc before the girl "met him" she had to do a bg check and decided it was best to do so in the bar. the night they met taehan was drinking alone (poor bby) and the girl volunteered +
to play the piano and sing to entertain the guests bc the supposed performer didn't come (wink wink) so let's just say she captivated taehan in ways he couldn't describe. after her performance she sits down in front of him and pours him a drink, starting a convo in the process +
shy taehan accepted the drink ofc and they talked and when the bar closed they walked and continued talking about life. ofc so as not to jeopardize her identity the girl told him a false past BUT she told him her true name (she doesn't know why) +
and so they started seeing each other more often, to the point the girl sometimes forgot she was on a contract until some time after their marriage, she was dragged to the commissioner and was forced to report progress. +
her silver tongue was the one that helped her escape the interrogation, tho barely. and when she arrived home taehan noticed her injuries and got SO MAD literally and she had to calm him down as he dressed her wounds. but she didnt say who it was so taehan tried to +
get to the bottom of it, having a hunch of his own and that's how he ended up taking "bribes" whatever tf the reason was that he got fired. but none of it matters bc he just lost his brother AND the woman he loved— loves too much so he left and went to muji to start over
