"It was the only way for me to escape. Get away from my father, from my prison, and from marrying someone who only treats women badly," said Chai Byeol.
Sitting in one of the benches, facing the river, Chun-Ho and her walked back to the town's park. Byeol meant to have a sincere talk about her supposed death. He did not get to order for his moksal kimchi after all, as Chai Byeol closed up her stall after seeing Chun-Ho.
Byeol gave away free kimchi as compensation for those who waited in line after Chun-Ho and excused herself, saying she was feeling unwell.
"Why did you not ask for help?" Chun-Ho asked without looking at her.
"How could I? I have pride and you rejected my proposal to stay married," she said, chuckling at herself. She shook her head and said, "At first I could not accept it. I rarely get a rejection. My Ex-fiance did not reject me, but apparently was using me."
