“So, I’ve been thinking……”
“……”
“No one really knows what the human heart will do……”
“……”
Not that he ever intended to hinder Hyun Woo’s future.
He didn’t want a marriage predicated on parting.
That was too heartbreaking.
“Um, so, because I’m not good at studying, I might not be able to become a specialist.”
“That shouldn’t happen, right?”
“Right? It shouldn’t happen, should it?”
What am I even saying now?
“That won’t happen. You don’t have to worry about that.”
It was a voice filled with determination, as if saying that divorce would not be the problem if she couldn’t become a specialist.
“Anyway, I don’t like the idea of marriage predicated on divorce.”
“……”
“I want to try. If possible, to get along well. As long as it doesn’t bother the professor.”
“……”
“If it really doesn’t work, then can’t we discuss it at that time……?”
That’s what she wanted to say, anyway.
It seemed like she had said everything she had thought of, without any omission.
Now, she was just waiting for his response. Her lips dried up in an instant.
“Is that what you’re proposing?”
“If I put it into words…… yes……”
After that, he just drove in silence, keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
The rush hour had passed, but there were still quite a few cars on the road. The red light flickered on their faces each time they got closer to the car in front.
However, as the silence dragged on, Sori felt her stomach knot with tension.
Did I say something wrong again?
Absentmindedly looking out the car window, Sori fidgeted with her fingertips, anxiously waiting for his response.
Was her proposal that difficult?
After all, he was the one who said he would never get married.
Just as she was beginning to resign herself to this…
“……Okay.”
“Pardon?”
The moment she turned to look at him, their eyes met briefly. He had a calm gaze and an indifferent expression.
“Let’s do it your way.”
“Really?”
Maybe we’ll have to see how things go.
We couldn’t rule out the worst case scenario, such as her mother, Su Hyang’s health deteriorating.
Hyun Woo nodded at Sori, making eye contact.
For a moment, Sori felt like her breath was caught in her throat.
And his subsequent words made Sori’s ears turn red.
“But where in the world do you get a wig like this?”
“Oh……”
Sori had forgotten for a moment.
About the fact that she was in a disguise that made her look like a musical actress ready to go on stage at any time.
She raised her hands to cover her head belatedly, but only managed to mess up her neatly styled hair.
He who had slightly cocked his head, clucked and blandly clicked his tongue once.
He who expelled a breath resembling laughter from the tip of his nose reached out with his large hand above Sori’s head. He lightly caressed the disheveled wig.
It seemed to be tangled somewhere.
Despite it not directly touching her hair, and it just being a hand to tidy up the wig, her heart pounded thump, thump, thump.
“I, I’ll do it. Ah!”
She bumped her head on the car window trying to avoid his touch.
“Are you okay?”
“……Yes.”
It seemed like NS doctor, not knowing that brain cells are precious, keeps creating situations for head bumps.
The marriage with Seo Hyun Woo, my first love that was buried in my heart.
Am I really okay?
Before I knew it, we arrived at Sori’s apartment parking lot.
Hyun Woo grabbed Sori’s arm, preventing her from getting out of the car.
“Wait a moment.”
“……?”
He first got out of the driver’s seat and took something out of the backseat. It was a long coat he had been carrying around all winter.
He who had opened the passenger door only now allowed Sori to get out. Then he wrapped Sori with the coat.
To tiny Sori, his long coat was large enough to cover everything except her face and feet.
“Do you find me so embarrassing now that you need to ride just one elevator?”
“If I was embarrassed, I would have covered your face.”
“Then why this?”
“Your clothes are sticking too much.”
As he personally buttoned up the front of the coat, he firmly said.
How likely is it to bump into someone in that short distance to home.
Wrapped tightly in a brown coat, Sori felt puzzled by his unexpected gesture.
“I don’t like it when my wife gets attention. Even if it’s just for a moment, I don’t like it.”
It sounded like a warning not to go around like this after becoming his wife.
Because it was an uncomfortable and burdensome dress, Sori didn’t dislike what he was saying.
My mom and Jiyu only found Sori’s peculiar liking for plain and modest clothes suffocating, but Hyun Woo seemed to feel otherwise.
‘Maybe we are unexpectedly a good match, us.’
Sori had such a frivolous thought, and she had to tense her face to hold back her corners of her mouth that wanted to rise.
Sori, who heard such a warning that was not a warning, strangely twisted her body within the coat he was buttoning up.
The distance with him who was buttoning up the coat was too close. Her embarrassment was clearly shown on her face.
Sori still needed a safe distance from Hyun Woo.

She came to see him, bringing breakfast.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
