ROTDTTCAB (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 1 : Let's Get Married

Jennie felt her body pulled in all directions, and her eyes were dry and painful.

She seemed to have fainted and was dehydrated. What happened to her? Using her remaining strength, Jennie opened her stinging eyes and at first glance, saw a tall man in front of her, standing against a backlight preventing Jennie from seeing him clearly.

The man seemed to be saying something over and over again and Jennie was confused for a while before she finally processed what the other person was saying.

"Are you okay?!"

Jennie stared uncomprehendingly for a while, only to realize something was wrong. She clearly should be wearing her newly bought pajamas and lying in her luxury apartment. How did she suddenly end up sitting in such a strange place? Looking around, seeing four big words above her caused Jennie's confused brain to instantly crash.

'Seoul Civil Affairs Bureau'!!!

What happened?

Jennie intended to brush herself off and stand up. But because her body was too weak, her sudden movements caused her to stumble.

"Are you alright!?" the man hastened to hold Jennie.

Jennie finally saw the man's appearance. He looked neat and had a warm presence, and his pair for gold-framed glasses could not prevent his faint concern from appearing in her line of sight.

This person shouldn't be recognizable but why did he seem familiar?

"You...seem to be familiar." Jennie couldn't help but say.

"That's probably because when you were abandoned by your boyfriend half an hour ago, I happened to be abandoned by my girlfriend next to you. We seem to be riding the same boat, looking at how our relationships ended." The man laughed bitterly.

(T/N Riding the same boat: to be in the same unpleasant situation.)

"..." She was abandoned by her boyfriend? At the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau? Jennie looked down at herself and saw a pink suitcase, fuck. Was this the day she eloped to Seoul 10 years ago to marry that scum of a man only to be miserably abandoned?

July 7, 2007!!!!

Jennie took a look at the phone in her pocket and the date displayed on the familiar Nokia phone confirmed that she wasn't wrong.

This was the only black mark in the history of Jennie; her disregard of her parents' opposition at 22 years old. She dragged her suitcase overnight to Seoul to meet with her then boyfriend and agreed to meet at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau to register.

As a result, the ex-boyfriend met her at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and broke up with her.

As for what was said, it was so long ago that Jennie doesn't remember. She only vaguely remembered something about his parents vehemently opposed to him marrying a woman who had just graduated and wasn't from Seoul.

Therefore he merely gave her 1.900.000 won as a breakup fee.

Then after being stunned by his words, Jennie stood there stupidly under the scorching sun and ended up having a heatstroke. She then fainted and was sent to a hospital. A nurse explained that a man brought her there and also helped her pay the medical expenses, but didn't leave a name.

It should be the person in front of her now.

"Are you okay? Is your head still dizzy? You might have a heatstroke, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?" The girl in front of him didn't speak for a long time, and with her faraway expression, he couldn't help but worry.
