“Marriage? A contract marriage? Ha!”

Iyeon erupts, clutching a disbelief-inducing contract. Youngwoo, unable to meet her eyes, confirms he knew.

“Do I just maintain the marriage for a year, or will I be locked away?”

“You’re misunderstanding. It’s like lending a license to an unlicensed real estate agent just for registration. Simple.”

“So, my father’s loan is resolved?”

“No. That’s separate. The client’s payment is a deposit, covering only some interest, not the principal.”

“Then I don’t have to agree?”

“Of course, it’s your choice. But these terms are good. If you’re confident, pay it back another way. If this contract fails, that debt, with all its accumulating interest, will be yours. You’ll repay us, one way or another. Act carefully. Who knows? They might even pay the principal if the contract goes well.”
