Jieun couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and happiness as she celebrated the day with her close-knit group of friends. It had been a long and arduous journey, but justice had finally prevailed. Jonghyun, her stepbrother, had faced the consequences for his despicable deeds. He had been punished for defaming his own stepbrother, as well as for harassing multiple girls and engaging in corrupt practices that had plagued the country. Jieun raised her glass in a toast, grateful for the support and unwavering friendship she had received throughout those challenging times.

Determined to shake Chanyeol from his slumber, Jieun entered their bedroom, her irritation reaching its peak. "Yah! Wake up!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of exasperation and genuine concern. Chanyeol, completely covered by the blanket, mumbled something incoherent, seemingly unwilling to part ways with his dreams. Jieun's patience wore thin as she threatened, "You better wake up before I cut off our engagement and kick you out of this hous
