End of the Show Window

Title: End of the Show Window As the whispers of a scandal grew louder, the air in the mayor's office turned icy with tension. Mayor Lee Suho's steely gaze never wavered as he faced the barrage of questions from the press, but I could sense the storm brewing beneath his calm exterior. "Is it true that your marriage is nothing but a façade?" The reporter's words hung in the air, heavy with accusation and suspicion. I stood by Suho's side, feeling the weight of his secrets pressing down on me. Despite being his closest confidante, I was nothing more than a pawn in his political game. The revelation of our sham marriage sent shockwaves through the city, threatening to unravel everything we had built together. Suho's ambitions soared higher than anyone could imagine, and I had always been his silent supporter, willing to sacrifice everything for his success. But when the topic of having a child arose, Suho's mask of indifference slipped, revealing a glimpse of the man beneath the politician. "A pregnancy? Add it to the contract. I won't hinder you with a child," his words cut through the air like a knife. I could feel the raw edge of resentment seeping into my heart, replaced with a bitter understanding of my place in his grand scheme. "Min Sojung, I don't need someone to dedicate themselves to me. I need someone who knows how to do their job." The coldness in Suho's tone matched the frost in his eyes, and in that moment, I realized that I was nothing more than a puppet in his carefully crafted show. As the truth unfurled before me like a dark tapestry, I knew that the end of our charade was near. The show window had shattered, revealing the ugly truths hidden behind the glamour and prestige of power. And in that moment, I made a choice - to break free from the chains of false devotion and find my own path, away from the shadow of Lee Suho's ambitions.
