A Light Contract

Jin Yura, once just a friend’s younger sister, seemed like a perfectly suitable marriage partner, unnecessary of the bothersome affairs of romance. “What should I call you now? ‘Honey’ perhaps?” An unexpected minor commotion led to a contractual marriage between Baek I-hyun and Jin Yura. “I guess ‘Honey’ it is.” “Call me by my name, like you used to. Please.” “Yura.” Yura couldn’t help but hold her breath, wondering if her name had always sounded so sweet. Was it I-hyun’s voice or her own ears that were the problem? “Like this?” Yura struggled to look at I-hyun’s smiling eyes. “Y-Yes.” She turned her head away, biting her lip, as a deep shadow loomed over her face. I-hyun had closed the distance in a flash, his head tilted slightly to match her gaze. “Why, why are you doing this?” Retreating step by step, Yura found herself blocked by the bookshelf, unable to move further. I-hyun whispered closely in front of Yura, “I like ‘Honey’ better.” With a soft, sultry sound, Yura’s voice broke. She had never imagined that she would be kissing I-hyun. His skillful lead and the hand wrapped around her waist felt so natural. Yura’s head spun with I-hyun’s deep breaths enveloping her. A two-year contract marriage, supposedly the ideal time for growing apart, began rather abruptly. Could they really reach the final station of divorce unscathed?
