The Other Woman (HAESOO)[18+]

Campane Nuziali

Challenging times may fade, but the bond between a father and daughter remains eternal. Jisoo held her late father in the highest regard, cherishing him deeply. Her search for a partner who mirrored his values and love was a testament to that devotion.

However, just a week after giving birth, her mother summoned the courage to reveal the truth about her origins. The revelation shattered Jisoo's heart and stirred resentment towards her mother and Seom for a time. The realization that the man she had idolized was not her father, but merely a stranger she had encountered at Haein's building on an ordinary Tuesday was too much to bear.

For a while, Seom made earnest attempts to connect with her, yearning for her to see him through the eyes of a father. He adored the daughter he had, but it pained him that she couldn't embrace him as such.

Yet, as time passed, Jisoo came to understand the transient nature of life and its inherent challenges. Haein played a significant role in this awakening, teaching her that holding onto resentment and shame only hinders growth. Instead, she learned the value of resilience and acceptance. Slowly, this understanding transformed Jisoo's relationship with Seom, allowing her to embrace him as her second father.

Life revolves around taking the next step. The past is behind us, unchangeable and fixed, while the present offers us the chance to shape our future. We can envision the future we desire and actively work toward it. Thus, embracing the next step is crucial for everyone.

This journey can profoundly impact the course of one's life. For Haein and Jisoo, the beginning of their relationship was fraught with challenges. They faced numerous obstacles that made it difficult for them to be together and love each other as they longed to. Life is inherently filled with such trials; no one can escape the struggles that accompany existence. After all, life is a series of highs and lows.

A year had flown by, and now Haein and Jisoo were ready to take the next significant step in their journey together: they were going to marry. Their love had reached a point where uniting their hearts for the long haul felt like the natural progression. They were eager to embark on this new chapter of their lives as husband and wife.

This idea had been a constant presence in Haein's mind for as long as he could remember. From the moment he fell head over heels for Jisoo, he yearned for this day. Haein was the kind of man who loved deeply and passionately; when he committed to someone, he poured his heart into that love with unwavering intensity. His dedication to winning her heart had always mirrored his relentless drive to make her his. Today, at last, his greatest dream and ambition was poised to become a reality.

There he stood at the altar of the magnificent San Nicolò Sevoca church in Italy, anxiously awaiting the woman he was about to marry in mere moments. Haein's heart raced within his chest, a mix of excitement and nerves overwhelming him. All he wanted was to catch a glimpse of her. Beside him, his brother Haejun gently extended his hand toward Haein's.
