Description

Hong Heeju is a sign language interpreter who has become mute due to severe depression.

For three years of their arranged marriage, she and her husband never exchanged a single conversation.

One day, her life takes a harrowing turn when she’s taken hostage.

‘Don’t hang up! This isn’t a phishing call…!’

However, her husband, who was even worse than a stranger, coldly disconnected the call.

– “Call me when a body is found.”

***

You $%#£! He’s such a jerk!

Overwhelmed with anger, Heeju decides to threaten her husband anonymously.

The problem is that he was a well-known spokesperson for the Blue House.

– “Can’t you send threats on time?”

“That…”

– “Here I’m anxiously waiting for my blackmailer’s call.”

“What do you…”

– “Are you playing around with someone else besides me?”

“…?”

Wait, is this the same sociopath husband I knew?

TL/N: ‘Blue House’ was the official residence and office of the President of the Republic of Korea from 1948-2022.
