jennie was packing up her things after school on monday. she had been contemplating on her conversation with taeyong's mom during the whole weekend and it had left her completely distracted. there were a lot of moments during sunday that taeyong looked at her in a concerned manner. he must have noticed that she was not her usual self.

jennie had prayed hard that he would not confront her about it because she was not ready to tell him that she told his mother their secret. she did not know what had possessed her to spill the beans about their marriage.

it was just that his mother was so nice and so happy about their marriage that she had felt so guilty misleading her. before she knew it she had blurted out the truth to his mother. typical stupid jennie, can't shut your mouth for once!

tho she had felt both surprised and relieved that madame lee had not appeared angry that they had misled her. in fact she had been extremely considerate and kind and had even consoled her while she cried. the biggest surprise she had that day was when madame lee told her that taeyong loved her. to be honest she had a hard time believing that it was true.

she could not deny that taeyong had been nothing but good to her, of course. he was a good husband and had kept every word that he promised. he had not looked at any woman since they were married and tucked away his casanova title.

but she also knew that her best friend was very vocal from the very start that love was not in his vocabulary at all and she had entered this marriage knowing that fully well.

that was the reason she had proposed the marriage in name only agreement. it was her last defense to preserve whatever was left of her heart because she knew that if she gave herself to him she would have finally surrendered everything to him-body and soul.

jennie however could not help but felt her cheeks heat as she remembered the kisses that they had shared. in spite of her determination to uphold their agreement she had completely melted when he kissed her the first time. since then she never had the strength to resist him whenever he took her in his arms and captured her lips.

in fairness with taeyong, in spite of the freedom she has given him to kiss her, he continued to respect her and never passed the line that she had set between them.

jennie still had her misgivings in spite of madame lee's bold declarations that her son loved her. could that possibly be true? the lee taeyong loving her? she scoffed.

she did not want to hope because she might be just setting herself up for disappointment but she still could not stop herself from doing so, a girl can dream whatever.

just as she was about to leave her classroom her phone rang. she quickly searched her purse for her phone and checked the caller id before answering. the caller id registered madame lee's name and jennie couldn't help but feel curious why taeyong's mother was calling her.
