Unforeseen Circumstances“Sign here and here.” The judge stated.
Sana watched as Jeongyeon signed her names on the documents. Her heart sank when she saw her hesitate on the last line, everything about it screaming for her not to divorce her… To not go through with it and just pretend like everything was fine. But when she watched her sign her name, everything became much more real.
When everything was finished, the two walked out of the little courtroom, both silent as they went down the busy hallways.
“How is Tzuyu?” Jeongyeon asked, breaking the silence.
“I explained everything to her… She’s… Upset.” Sana explained. “She doesn’t understand why you aren’t home, and why you had to leave…” She frowned.
“Right…” Jeongyeon sighed, her hand moving up to rub the back of her neck. “If you ever wanted a break… You know when I’m not busy…” She shrugged her shoulders, looking down at the floor.

“I’ll talk to you later..” Jeongyeon muttered.
“No, wait..” Sana reached out for her sleeve, tugging it. “I’m sorry, but I have appointed my replacement for the day. I can fix whatever they mess up on… Today really needs to be a personal day…” She frowned while walking away from the court employee.
