Chapter 20

Lisa stood in front of the Department of Registry building. The sunlight brought back her soul. But the bright red marriage certificate and wedding photo in her hand blinded her eyes.

Lisa remembered ten minutes ago she signed a form in front of a noisy crowd, five minutes ago the noisy crowd dragged her to a chair and a photographer took a photo of her and Jungkook.

Lisa looked pitifully at her other hand and her signature on a copy of hers and Jungkook's marriage registration form stared back at her. After more than twenty-five years of life, she realised in the eyes of the law she had to take responsibility for her signature.

Lisa looked closely at the wedding photo. In the wedding photo Jungkook looked handsome in a tailored suit, but she sat next to Jungkook in baggy clothes. She thought compared to past wedding photos taken at the Department of Registry, she looked like the scruffiest bride.

Lisa slapped her cheek and she berated herself for not prioritising her thoughts. She shouldn't be thinking about whether she looked beautiful and compatible with Jungkook in the wedding photo. It was more important for her to think of a way to annul the marriage.

'Is there a fly on your cheek?' Jungkook asked. He wrapped an arm around Lisa's shoulder. 'The car's on the left.'

'Um,' Lisa said.

Lisa pretended the marriage certificate, form and photo in her hands didn't exist and that nothing happened.

Jungkook laughed. 'You forgot something.'

Lisa patted her baggy clothes and she felt her wallet in her pants pocket. She didn't think she forgot anything, but the certificate, form and photo in her hands felt heavy.

'I didn't forget anything,' Lisa said and she glared at her heavy hands.

'Son, mummy doesn't need you anymore,' Jungkook said.

Lisa panicked and she looked frantically for Junkyu. Finally she saw Junkyu hugged Jungkook's neck and Junkyu happily pulled Jungkook's shirt.

'Give Junkyu to me,' Lisa said.

The moment Lisa's hands touched Junkyu's arms, he pouted his lips, turned his back toward her and he clutched Jungkook's neck.

Jungkook's arm moved down Lisa's back and he wrapped his arm around her waist. 'Let me hold Junkyu.'

'That's right, it's rare for a playboy to willingly change. Let him take responsibility for his wife and son. Let him bond with his son,' the woman said.

'It's good to see him bonding with his son. A good man is someone who is responsible. It looks like my wife and I did a good deed,' the man said.

Lisa turned her head around and her face twitched. 'You're both still here?'

'Looking at you two newlyweds make me happier than I was on my wedding day,' the woman said.

Lisa couldn't believe the married couple who were going to divorce stayed married and hugged each other.

'Wife, let's not divorce, ok?' the man asked.

'Then will you give me your bank card and all your assets including shares?' the woman asked.

'If I have anything in my bank account or any assets I'll give it to you immediately. But at the moment I don't have anything,' the man said.

Lisa looked at the happy married couple and she cringed.

'Wife, let's go home,' Jungkook said.
