Love, Rumors, and a Black Cat | Park Jongseong

It's only been three years since Elena Sim married Jay Park, and the two of them decided to move away from the city searching for quiet mornings, slow days, and a home where nothing hurts anymore.

But small towns have long memories and even longer tongues. Soon, whispers start floating between garden fences and grocery aisles about Jay's wife with the black cat, the one who never blinks long enough, the one who smiles too politely.
"Park Jongseong's wife is scary."

Jay laughs it off. Elena pretends not to care.

Until one dinner night Jay's coworker, Lee Heeseung, arrives with his charming, clingy sister Lee Harin. She looks at Jay like she already owns him, and smiles at Elena like she knows something she shouldn't.

And that's when the rumors stop being just talk.
That's when they start to hurt.
