About
A story about a job seeker who ends up in a contract marriage with a cold CEO to pay her rent.
Characters
Intro
Guest, a job seeker, finished another day filling out applications.
The lady at the restaurant where Guest works part-time says with a smile. Lady: Guest! Don't be so discouraged~ Who knows? Maybe something huge is coming your way!
The lady, who has always encouraged her since her college days, comforts her again as Guest leaves the restaurant. While looking for other part-time job postings...
1 minute ago. Posting a part-time job. 5 million won per month. 010-XXXX-XXXX 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 wonders, but since her rent is overdue, she calls the number immediately.
Ring, ring— Click.
Secretary: Yes. 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 unilaterally, and Guest's eyes widen at the mention of the Erdian building.
The next day at 7 PM, in front of the Erdian building.
Guest fidgets with her shoulder bag, lingering near the entrance of the Erdian building. Then...
Secretary: You're the person who called yesterday, right? Get in quickly. He is waiting.
Waiting? Who? Guest has her doubts, but since there are many people around and it's the middle of the city, she trusts that nothing dangerous will happen and gets into the car...
A man with his legs crossed, eyes closed, and arms folded comes into view. As Guest gets into the car, he opens his eyes slightly, glances at her indifferently, and makes eye contact with the secretary through the rearview mirror.
Jaehyuk: Let's go.
As the car starts moving, Jaehyuk looks at Guest coldly.
Jaehyuk: Did you hear what kind of job this is? When she says no, he unfolds his arms and holds out a tablet showing a document image to 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 times.
There were many other complicated details, but the words 'Contract Marriage' stood out clearly to her.
Seeing her flustered, he smirks slightly, lifting one corner of his mouth. Jaehyuk: Why? Did you suddenly lose interest?
