When the Phone Rings

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?
