Guwon and Dohee were finally happily married. And with that came Guwonâs new obsession with everything couple. So one day while he was supposed to be doing work, he created a list of different dates and couples activities the two could do together. Some were really traditional dates for happy couples while others, not so much.
Guwon and Dohee signed up for a couples cooking class. The couples were tasked with learning how to bake a full cake and decorate it. The pair had decided on Guwonâs favorite, cream cake with strawberries. Of course the two were determined not to mess up. Especially after Doheeâs sugar and salt mix up that one time she tried to make him a cake. Well, Dohee was determined not to mess up. Guwon had other things on his mind.
âPay attention,â Dohee scolded, moving her husbandâs head that was busy looking at her to look at the pan in front of them, âyouâre gonna burn our jam. Stop being so distracted.â
Guwon placed a kiss on Doheeâs cheek, âitâs hard to pay attention to the pan when youâre the only thing on my mind.â
At the same time, Dajeong and Bokgyo were taking the same class as their bosses, watching the pair while still making sure not to burn anything. The two smiled as they watched their bosses happily in love, even if they did argue a little which was much unlike how they were when the pair first met. They hoped the couple would always be this happy together.
Guwon and Dohee sat awkwardly in the therapist's office. Guwon thought that coupleâs therapy would be a fun date idea because of the word couple. What he didnât realize was that it wasnât for happy couples like him and Dohee, but he paid a lot of money for this, so they had to do this.
âSo, what kind of issues are you two having,â the therapist asked, ready to write down everything the couple said.
âNone,â Guwon said cheerfully, looking lovingly at Dohee, âweâre as happy as weâve ever been. Iâm the luckiest being in the entire world.â
Dohee smiled as the demon confessed his feelings again. The therapist looked between the two of them confused out of his mind. âIf you two are so happy, why are you here?â
âWe saw the word couple and signed up,â he said with a nervous smile. Dohee raised an eyebrow at her husband. Was that really the reason? She didnât need to ask, it was.
After 20 minutes of couples advice that they didn't need, the happily married couple left the building. âI canât believe we actually paid for that. Hubby, just because it says "coupleâ doesnât mean itâs for us.â
âI got excited. And itâs not my worst idea.â That was very wrong. He had great date ideas most of the time. Usually his date ideas were sweet like couples massages, a weekend retreat to Jeju Island, even the disastrous escape room date was not as bad as couples therapy.
Meanwhile, Dajeong and Bokgyo were exiting their own date at the bbq place next door when they see the two walking out of the therapist office. âOh no,â they both say in unison.
Dajeong and Bokgyo sat four alleys down from their bosses, waiting to see what was going on with those two. The pair had followed them on six different dates. This was starting to frustrating them. One day, they were going to couples therapy. Next they were sending flowers to each other. Then arguing. It was getting on their nerves. So they got up.
âAnother strike,â Dohee celebrated, hopping up and down excitedly.
âYou do know Iâm cheating for you right,â Guwon admitted getting up to grab his ball, âbecause we all know you hate losing.â
âGuwon,â she whined, âyou canât just do that. Itâs cheating.â
âI know, but Iâd rather see you smiling.â
Dohee wrapped her arms around her husband. Dajeong and Byokgyo stood up and stormed over. âWhat the heck is going on with you two,â the butler exclaimed as he reached their alley. Dohee and Guwon pulled away quickly, confused as to what was happening, âare you two happy or not because I am sick of trying to figure it out!â
âWhy would you think weâre unhappy?â
âWe saw you at couples therapy a few weeks ago,â the assistant admitted pointing at the two of them.
âOhh,â Dohee exasperated, âGuwon signed up for it without thinking. We ended up just staying and getting date ideas.â
âSo nothing is happening? You two are happy?â The butler and the assistant werenât sure if they should feel relieved or stupid. The couple were known for doing odd things. I mean, he was a deal-making demon who was extremely in love after all. This shouldâve been obvious.
âYeah,â Guwon explained, putting Dohee closer, as she wrapped her arms around him. âWe do fight sometimes, but nothing we canât handle ourselves. Heâs stuck with me and Iâm stuck with him.â
The two let out an aww before leaving the happily married couple to continue their game. The other couple were happy to know that their bossesâ love wasnât dwindling away. They could now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they didnât need to watch their bosses going out and focus on their own relationship. For Jeong Guwon and Do Dohee, they might have been an odd couple whoâve gone on a few odd dates, but at the end of the day, they loved each other more than anything.

I want to say I find it hilarious that the two biggest theories I've seen for why Guwon gagged in the last chapter of Hounds of Sisyphus is because he's either A) a zombie or B) Pregnant.
