"Kim Taehyung, do you take Park Ava to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I DO" he spoke with a blank expression, his eyes betraying no emotion.

Days have passed since their date, or whatever you want to call it but nothing has changed She still shows up every morning with his coffee.
On this particular day, as she carries yet another cup of coffee to the office, she mutters to herself, contemplating the complexities of their relationship and the daily ritual that binds them.
“Why is he treating me this way? What did I do to deserve this? If he wants to give me work, at least it should be office work. I poured so much effort into getting this job, only to find out he expects me to bring him coffee every morning. If I'd known that was all he wanted, I might have thought twice about it." Her words halted abruptly when she saw her husband leaving his office with someone else.
Miss. Lee quietly walked to the office and found Ava there.
"Oh, brought coffee for the boss, did you? Too bad he couldn’t wait," she said, her voice dripping with jealousy.
It baffled her how the boss seemed to give Ava so much special attention, always smiling whenever she was around. Miss. Lee couldn’t understand why he valued this mere employee so highly. Now she had the chance to make fun of her.
"Where is he going, and who is that with him?” she asked, her voice heavy with sadness as she watched him with another woman.
"Oh, that’s Miss Wang Zoe, the boss's fiancée. Don't they look great together? They’ve been together for two years now,” came the reply.
"Oh, she’s his fiancée,” she said, her voice breaking.
"Well, you could say that. They haven't officially announced their relationship, but they are definitely together. It looks like they're going on a date,” she added with a hint of mischief.
She tossed a coffee cup into the trash and walked away, trying to hold back her tears.
"What does she think she is, that the boss would notice someone like her? She’ll learn her place soon enough once Miss Wang starts coming around," she muttered bitterly, her voice dripping with malice. A wicked smile curled on her lips. As she managed to plant a seed of doubt in her heart.
At the restaurant, Taehyung and Wang Zoe sat across from each other. Zoe broke the silence, leaned forward slightly, her gaze earnest. “So, Taehyung, what’s new with you?”
Taehyung, reclining in his chair with a guarded expression, replied coolly, “We don’t share personal updates, do we?”
Zoe’s brows furrowed as she let out a light chuckle, trying to bridge the gap. “Oh, come on, Taehyung. It’s been months since we last met.”
Taehyung’s eyes narrowed slightly as he met her gaze. “That’s because you’ve been out of the country. Otherwise, you’d find every opportunity to annoy me.”
Zoe’s face softened, a mix of frustration and wistfulness evident in her eyes. “You know how much I like you, yet you’ve rejected my offer countless times.”
Taehyung’s tone remained firm, though a hint of weariness crept in. “I’ve told you many times before, and I’ll tell you again: I’m not interested in you nor your offers.”
Zoe’s shoulders sagged, a small sigh escaping her lips as she tried to maintain her composure. “Whatever you say.”
“When Mr. Park arrives, make sure he knows I’m not someone who waits around,” Taehyung said coldly.
“He’s not coming. He hasn’t even arrived in Korea yet,” Zoe said calmly, though her eyes betrayed her anxiety.
Taehyung's frustration boiled over. “Are you lying to me? I rearranged my entire schedule for this meeting. And now you’re telling me he’s not here?”
Zoe took a deep breath. “I had no choice. If I hadn’t set up this meeting, you wouldn’t have agreed to join me for lunch.”
Taehyung’s face hardened. “Miss Zoe, I’ve reached my limit. I respect you because of your father—he's our former business partner—but this is the end of it,” he said, standing up and turning away.
Zoe reached out, gripping his hand. “Taehyung, listen to me—”Taehyung yanked her hand away, his voice cold and sharp.
“Don’t you dare touch me again” he snapped. Without another word, he stormed out, leaving Zoe standing there, stunned and speechless.
