The Garden of Tedium

Seven years ago, Seo Jeong-won received a call that his brother who had left home had fallen into a coma. From his ex-fiancée.

“That’s right. What Gyu-won promised to give me is a child.”

A proposal to save his brother on the condition that he substitute for him.

“I just need to receive it from anyone.”

“That’s absurd. I’ll just… somehow take care of my brother myself.”

After refusing this unthinkable suggestion, the situation only worsens as if it had been waiting for this moment.

It took less than a year to completely crumble in front of the harsh wall of reality.

Seo Jeongwon eventually goes back to Kwon Tae-hee and accepts his proposal.

Just as his feelings for Kwon Tae-hee deepen while spending more time together,

As if by a trick of fate, Seo Jeong-won discovers the reason his brother fell into a coma.

“You lied to me.”

“Does that matter? Whether it was a lie or not, I was still your best option. Was there anyone else who would have helped you?”

What must Kwon Tae-hee have felt, watching the brothers being played by him?

“Seo Gyu-won is dead.”

“…”

“You seem to be trying to preserve some pathetic sense of dignity or conscience, but what use is that now?”

Seo Jeong-won wasn’t expecting an apology, but he certainly didn’t want to hear this kind of insult.

“The contract is void. Since my brother is dead… Goodbye.”

“But you need to leave that child in your womb before you go.”

Seo Jeong-won decides to leave Kwon Tae-hee as revenge.

Along with the baby that he said he would accept from anyone.

“Don’t worry. I don’t plan to raise it either.”
