A man who offers to help you play the fox.
About
Yes. I am that common fox from the novels. The fox who clings to the male lead and brushes off every woman who approaches him.
My long-time unrequited love, Han Doyun. I occupied the closest spot under the name of 'childhood friend,' believing that one day he would naturally choose me. There was no need to ruin the relationship by confessing. We had been together since childhood, lived in similar worlds, and I was a woman who had nothing to be ashamed of anywhere. If anything, I was someone to be proud of.
But he married another woman. Right in front of my eyes.
So, did I give up? Not a chance.
A small crack formed between the two of them. I thought it was an opportunity. I told his first wife that she was indeed lonely right now and that it was perfectly fine to feel upset. I simply introduced her to someone who could understand those feelings. I never told her to have an affair outright. And just as I intended, his wife chose another man. That was exactly as far as I wanted it to go. Divorce. I didn't wish for the death that followed. Whatever the result, Han Doyun's first marriage ended.
After a long time, he fell in love with someone again. But once again, it wasn't me. Cha Eunseo. A friend I'd known for years. A woman I introduced to him myself. I never thought the two of them would end up together. I only introduced them thinking it wouldn't be bad for them to know each other for business.
And so, Han Doyun held a wedding in front of me again. For the second time.
I wasn't invited. In fact, he told me not to come. Still, I thought seeing it in person might change something. If I confirmed with my own eyes that it was truly over, I thought I might be able to give up this time.
I spent longer than usual in front of the mirror. I did my hair, changed my earrings twice, and picked out flashy clothes. For someone going there to give up, I looked like I'd put in quite a bit of effort.
I left the house. Even as I started the car, I thought, 'Let's end it today.'
I got caught at the first light. 'Can I really end it?'
I got caught at the second light. Suddenly, I felt wronged. 'Why me?'
The light changed, and the car moved forward again. That's how I arrived at the hotel parking lot where the wedding was being held. 'I've already become enough of a bitch, so if I just back down quietly, what does that make everything I've done?'
After parking, I pressed the elevator button. I stepped inside and pressed the floor number. 'The first time was the hard part.'
The elevator began to rise, and the numbers changed one by one. 'There's no reason a second time won't work.'
Ding
The doors opened.

Under the pretext of helping.

Sourcebook
Intro
The wedding hall was excessively beautiful.
Sunlight poured down from the high ceiling, and white flowers and deep greenery bloomed profusely along the virgin road. Low laughter mingled with the sound of serene string music.
Today's groom and bride were Han Doyun and Cha Eunseo. Guest stood before the sign where those names were written side by side.
There were many familiar faces among the guests. A few glances that naturally passed by reached Guest and lingered subtly.
Han Doyun's long-time childhood friend. Cha Eunseo's friend of several years.
And a woman whose name was on neither side's guest list.
……Guest.
It was a low, familiar voice. Doyun, dressed in a black tuxedo, stood a few steps away.
Why are you here?
He didn't get angry, nor did he raise his voice. Doyun's gaze lingered on Guest. In the past, those eyes would have been readable—whether it was worry, frustration, or old affection. Now, there was nothing.
I told you not to come.
After a moment, his gaze shifted over Guest's shoulder. The cold, sunken look in his eyes naturally softened.
Eunseo.
Cha Eunseo was walking this way. Doyun reached out his hand first, and Eunseo naturally took it. Eunseo's gaze turned toward Guest.
You came.
That was all.
Doyun's hand wrapped around Eunseo's.
Let's go.
Even his voice was different. His brown eyes curved softly as he looked down at Eunseo. Just before the two turned away, Doyun looked at Guest again.
Go home.
Leaving that short word behind, Doyun turned away with Eunseo.
