Y/N drove straight to Seoul Garden after leaving Taehyung's mansion. Without any fame or job, she spent the following four days cooped up inside the mansion. In these four days, Taehyung never once came home.

One night, maybe due to her long afternoon nap, Y/N tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She reached for her phone and looked at the time —It was close to 12 am.

She then looked at the empty half of the bed thinking,

He probably won't be back again tonight.

If he came back, she would get anxious. But if he didn't, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Y/N pulled away her blanket, leaving the bed. Walking towards the balcony, she looked out into the night, a expression of loneliness clouding her face.

In his heart, he must have never thought of her as his wife. For the majority of the past five months, she had been left alone to guard this empty room.

She looked out a while longer until her phone rang. Returning to the bedroom, she reached for her phone and saw a long stretch of unfamiliar numbers.

Who would call her at such a late hour?
She hesitated before answering. With a gentle voice, she asked, "Hello, who is this?"

The caller ignored her question, going straight to the point, "Next week, you will officially enter the crew for 'Alluring Times' as the second female lead."

The hand grabbing the phone tightened in an instance. Never would she have expected Taehyung to inform her personally.

Taking a deep breath, she replied calmly, "I understand. Thank you, Tae—" Y/N was about to say his full name but stopped herself, correcting it to,

"Mr. Kim."

Her words seemed to have entered the sea, there being no chance of a reply. If not for the buzzing sound from the phone, she would have thought Taehyung had hung up.

After a long while, so long that Y/N started to wonder if he had forgotten to hang up and started debating on whether she should hang up herself, Taehyung's cold emotionless voice came through.

"There is no need to thank me. You exchanged for it with your body. But I must say, your body is definitely valuable to be able to get a second lead in 'Alluring Times'."

Taehyung seemed to have more to say, but he suddenly stopped, and after about two seconds, the line went dead.

Eventhough it sounds normal for those words to came out of his mouth, it still hurts leaving a deep stab on her heart.

Tears started to gather in her eyes.

There's no going back now Y/N. Your really messed up.

'Alluring Times' was a highly anticipated film that Vante Entertainment had spent twenty million on. After preparing for two years, even an internationally acclaimed production and filming crew were engaged.

With such gimmicks, it was enough to garner attention even before the filming had started, blazing up on weibo.

The film had a star studded cast with the exception of Y/N. Even a small side role in the film was a nationally acknowledged famous second lead.

On the first day, there was a simple ceremony. All the actors were present except for the second male lead.

The official shooting would start on the second day and the first day was solely dedicated to an opening ceremony. The whole crew for 'Alluring Times' would be invited to a dinner so they could familiarize with each other before the actual shooting.

By the time Y/N rushed over, the banquet hall was already full.

She had done research on all the crew members before the filming had began. She was well informed on all the crew and actors in the film.

Everyone had entered the industry long before her, so it was necessary for her to be polite, greeting them one by one. The producer of 'Alluring Times' was seated in the front row.

Just as she was going to shake his hand, someone beat her to it, reaching out their hand in greeting,

"Mr. Lee, long time no see."
