The Third Woman

The weeding , a child, the forbidden look

After the conversation between Do-Ha and Ri-Ta, they acted like nothing had happened between them. Do-ha went on many dates with Ji-Jeon, and at first, he just wanted to forget Ri-Ta, but later on, he developed feelings for Ji-Jeon and forgot about Ri-Ta, and he decided to start dating Ji-Jeon. Ri-Ta was like a friend to him again. Ri-Ta and Min-Ho also dated, so they would go together on double dates. Sometimes Ri-Ta would look towards Do-Ha when he didn't look, but she soon realized that Do-Ha was like a different person when he was with Ji-Jeon; he was playful and funny, and  Ji-Jeon didn't stop talking about their sex life.

The years passed, and Do-ha and Ji-Jeon dated for about five years when Ji-Jeon came one day to Ri-Ta and told her she was engaged to Do-Ha. Ri-Ta was happy that her best friend was happy and their wedding was a big party. They had invited many friends, and  Ri-Ta was the bridesmaid, and Min-Ho was the best man, Do-Ha. They celebrated the wedding, and Ji-Jeon insisted that Ri-Ta and Do-Ha should dance together. Since they were the most important people in her life. So Ri-Ta and Do-Ha danced together. Do-Ha had a lot of fun, and  Ri-Ta wanted to lock this memory into her heart. She still loved him but didn't show it, and when he asked her for a dance as a friend, she noticed how good he smelled and remembered the time when they  had partied in the past and they had danced together. 

After the wedding, Min-ho and Ri-Ta returned to their hotel. Ri-Ta talked about Ji-Jeon, how pretty she was, and so on. She and Min-ho had also been together for five years, and she wanted to get married, but Min-ho still hadn't found a job. He graduated from university last year and is studying to be a bank manager. On the other hand, Ri-Ta taught many lessons to students and even helped Ji-Jeon with her jewelry shop. Do-Ha had opened a plastic surgery clinic and was a successful doctor. He had many clients.  They spent their honeymoon in Italy; after their honeymoon, Ji-Jeon was pregnant, and one year later, a beautiful baby girl named Eun-Ji was born.  Ri-Ta was the first one to hold her, and she babysat her many times. Every time Ji-Jeon and Do-Ha went on dates or even on vacation, they would bring Ri-Ta with them, and she could sleep in the other room with Eun-Ji when in the next room, Ji-Jeon and Do-Ha had sex. She heard everything, and sometimes, she wished that she was the one he had sex with.
Eun-Ji was now four years old and went to kindergarten whenever there was a special occasion or event. Ri-Ta went because Ji-Jeon was too busy with her  Jewelry  shop. Do-ha was an excellent father to Eun-Ji, and he knew his wife paid less attention to his daughter than he did. He was thankful that Ri-Ta was such a wonderful aunt.

One day, Ri-Ta sat with Ji-Jeon in their living room, and she played with Eun-Ji; she got a text message from her boyfriend saying he got a job. Min-ho had a job but didn't like it, so he quoted, and now he has found a new job. Ri-Ta: Ji-Jeon, you won't believe it. Min-ho has gotten a job. Finally, I am so happy for him. Ji-Jeon: That's fantastic. Congratulations. We have to throw him a party. We can reserve a lovely house in the hills, and we will all celebrate there over the weekend. Ri-Ta: You don't have to reserve a house rally. It's alright if we celebrate here. Ji-Jeon: Don't be silly. Of course, we will celebrate; maybe he will propose to you afterward. Who knows. Ri-Ta had hoped that Min-ho would propose to her soon since she wanted to get married, and she had helped him financially these past years. And so Ri-Ta and Ji-Jeon planned the whole trip.
On the weekend, Ri-Ta and her boyfriend went to the house in the hills; it was colossal and had two big  bedrooms, a big kitchen, a living room, and a massive pool with a terrace where they could grill and have a party. Ri-Ta decorated everything and prepared the food and the drinks. Her boyfriend also helped her, but he wasn't pleased. Why do we have to organize everything? Why can't they come and help us, too? Ri-Ta: Don't be like that. They reserved the house for you, and we will celebrate the fact that you got a job. They are very generous that they reserved such a big house. Min-ho didn't say anything after that had just helped with the balloons. Now everything was ready, and Ri-Ta was happy and tired, so she went to the sofa, where she slept a little bit. She dreamed of the party later on  and that they would celebrate, then she would get inside and wanted to  bring the wine glasses, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and Do-Ha stood before her. He held her hand, and the wine glass fell; Ji-jeon and Min-ho danced on the terrace and didn't notice what happened inside. Do-Ha looked her in the eyes and kissed her passionately. He held her in his arms, and when she looked up, she saw that Ji-Jeon had seen them, but Ri-Ta looked her directly in the eyes and replied with a passionate kiss from Do-Ha.

Ri-Ta woke up. She was soaked in sweat and didn't even know where this dream came from. She decided to shower. As the water ran down her body, she thought about her dream, and deep down, she knew that she wanted it to be accurate, but of course, it wouldn't happen. Then she heard the doorbell ring, and the dresses farfalle up and went to open the door; Ji-jeon looked terrific. She wore a beautiful dress with high heels. Do-Ha also looked very handsome, and Ri-Ta was happy to see them. Welcome, thank you so much for everything; the house is so pretty. Everything is ready, and Min-Ho has changed right now. Ji-Jeon: That's so beautiful, and the red balloons are so cute. Let's open a bottle of champagne; Hubby, can you open one? Ji-Jeon gave Do-Ha a bottle of champagne, and he went to the kitchen to open it. In the meantime, Ji-Jeon played music from the living room and went outside the terrace, where she  and Ri-Ta danced.

Min-ho came down the stairs and stared at Ji-Jeon's body; he was fascinated by it. He had always had a crush on her since he had known her, but he couldn't show interest because Ri-Ta was his girlfriend, and he knew that Ji-Jeon and Do-ha were happily married and had a daughter. Ji-Jeon noticed that he had observed her, and she smiled at him. She knew that she was good-looking, and even after the birth of her daughter, she was still very sexy. Min-ho came towards her and began to dance with her. She began to laugh and enjoyed his company on the other side; her husband and his girlfriend weren't so pleased to see this, so Ri-Ta came to Min-Ho and asked him if he could help her. Do-Ha called Ji-Jeon to help him with the meat, and they all sat down at the table and ate the food. They drank wine and laughed and talked a lot. They congratulated Min-ho on his job, and Ji-Jeon asked Min-ho: "Now that you have found a job, I think it is time to marry Ri-Ta. She was always by your side and supported you all these years." Min-ho was visibly uncomfortable with this question from Ji-Jeon, and Ri-Ta noticed this and said: Unnie, please stop it. He doesn't like this topic, and I am okay with how things are. He should focus on his career right now before he gets married. Do-Ha: I think we should go back and change into comfortable outfits and meet again to play some games. Who likes this idea? Ri-Ta was thankful to Do-Ha that he had noticed that the atmosphere had begun to be awkward, and she was glad when he suggested that they should change and play a game together. They cleared the table and returned to their rooms. When Ri-Ta and Min-ho arrived at their room, he was angry and asked Why did your friend have to ask this question? She doesn't have the right to pressure me. How dare she think she can say I have decided what I want to do now that I have gotten a job? Ri-Ta tried to calm him down and said she didn't mean it like this; she was just curious and always like that. Min-Ho was still angry but changed into comfortable clothes, and Ri-Ta also changed, and they went downstairs. Do-ha and Ri-Ta were already downstairs, and they had prepared some games. For example, there was a lie detector and some questions. They played some card games and had a lot of fun. Min-ho and Do-ha were quite competitive, so Ri-Ta and Ji-Jeon had to cheer their partners on, and when somebody lost, he had to drink a shot glass of Soju. After the Game, they played the lie detector game, and at first, it was pretty fun; there were questions like  what was your partner's favorite color?

But then it became severe, and the questions were more intimate, and they asked how often you had sex. Ji-Jeon wasn't shy to answer these questions and responded to this question with a smile five times a week, and it was excellent. Ri-Ta began to blush at this answer, and she noticed that Do-Ha was uncomfortable with this answer, and he tried to look in a different direction. Then it was Ri-Ta's time to answer a question: Is your first love in the room? Ji.Jeon: No, I don't think so. She only liked someone in High school. Ri-Ta was nervous and didn't know if she should answer this question, but since she didn't want to be the bad guy, she answered this question honestly.

As she looked toward Do-Ha, she nodded her head and said Yes. Min-ho looked at Ri-Ta and knew that she had revealed the truth. The lie detector chimed green, and Min-Ho knew that Ri-Ta had liked Do-Ha. He was angry, held her hand, and said he wanted to ask her another question: Were you ever attracted to someone besides your partner? He looked at Ri-Ta, and she knew that he was angry and that she still had feelings for Do-Ha. Ri-Ta: I don't want to play anymore. Let's stop it. Ji-Jeon and Do-ha also noticed that Ri-ta was uncomfortable with this question, and Ji-jeon said: Let's drink and talk. But Min-ho held Ri-Ta's hand tight and asked her again: Were you ever attracted to someone besides your partner?
