Contract Marriage with the Second Lead

I possessed Villain Supporting Character 1, the one who was executed after saying something foolish to the female lead, who seemed close to the male lead.

‘Well, I’m just a villainous extra anyway. If I don’t play the role, who else will?’

With that in mind, I decided not to get involved with any of the characters in the original story. Thanks to that, the plot wrapped up safely. But then—the sub-male lead of the original work approached me.

“Would you be interested in a contract marriage?” He waved a contract at me with a gentle smile.

Two years later, before the short contract period ended, I asked him for a divorce — perhaps a bit earlier than expected.

That’s when he started acting strange.

“Madam… are you only after my body?”

What nonsense is this? You’re the one who suggested a contract marriage. Weren’t we just business partners?

“It was a contract marriage from the start. What are you…?”
“Then why are you after my purity… my chastity?”

Before I knew it, his eyes brimmed with tears.

“P-Purity! No, even my Ye-jare* would be fine…!”
“Did you hate spending the night with me, Julieta? I’ll try harder, so don’t throw me away,” he clung to me desperately.

While watching tears stream down his face, I thought: 'At this rate, I’ll really end up having to take responsibility for him! No, Sub-Male Lead! You’re the one who said you didn’t have the confidence to love anyone!'
