“I’ll make sure there will be no cheating or any sickening thing until I die.”
“What is that. Are you saying that to relieve my tension?”
Min Hyuk, who had been serious as if reciting a great vow, gently gripped Da Hyun’s hand.
Min Hyuk’s large hand covered Da Hyun’s hand that was placed on her thigh.
Da Hyun was so happy that she could forget her worry about having to see Su Cheol’s face. The corners of her glistening lips couldn’t help but rise.
She felt like she understood why people started dating.
“No, I’m telling you my sincerity. Earlier, someone ran away and couldn’t tell you. She didn’t even come out afterwards, so I’m telling you now.”
“I needed time to think because I was too surprised.”
At Min Hyuk’s teasing tone, Da Hyun was embarrassed and coughed awkwardly.
As soon as her lips separated, Da Hyun pushed Min Hyuk away saying she had to go to Su Cheol’s house, then immediately slipped out of the study and went upstairs.
Min Hyuk was left alone, stroking the lips that had overlapped with hers with his finger, recalling the soft touch.
He wanted to feel that touch again. But there was a problem to be solved.
He would carefully sort out anything that could interfere with his future with her.
For their ordinary life together.
Min Hyuk’s eyes, which were bright just a while ago, darkened.
Da Hyun, who had no way of knowing what he was thinking, felt troubled at the thought of meeting Su Cheol soon.
Despite knowing the reality that was soon to come, her heart fluttered. Da Hyun suppressed her fluttering heart.
Su Cheol would definitely not leave her alone.
“My father might talk about scratching Mr. Min Hyuk’s heart. Listen in one ear and out the other. Just eat and come right out. Today is the first and last time to visit.”
“I can’t ignore my fatherinlaw’s words.”
Min Hyuk slightly lifted the corner of his mouth. He felt relaxed with his legs crossed.
Well, he seemed to not be hurt at all no matter what Su Cheol said. However, she couldn’t help but worry, having heard Su Cheol’s harsh words from a long time ago.
“Mr. Min Hyuk doesn’t know my father.”
That he is good at scratching people’s hearts with a sharp blade.
Da Hyun tightly shut her mouth and turned her head again.
He would never even think about how bad a person Su Cheol is, hiding his affair and treating me like a stranger.
A few days ago, Min Hyuk might not have cared what kind of words he heard from Su Cheol.
But now it was different.
As Su Cheol’s house got closer, Da Hyun gained strength.
She was worried that he might get hurt because of Su Cheol.
The man who I thought would remain a husband only on paper has now truly become my lover.
A tension I had never felt before enveloped me.
Da Hyun felt sick to her stomach, it felt as if she was introducing her real boyfriend to her family.
The classic, luxurious dining room reflected Young Sook’s taste perfectly.
Seeing the 6seater marble dining table that was changed immediately after she disappeared, Da Hyun laughed to herself.
Until Da Hyun had left the house, Young Sook had insisted on a round table. She enjoyed the feeling of being with family, no matter where she turned her head.
Thanks to this, Da Hyun had to endure nagging and bitter words from all directions while eating.
Now it seemed no exaggeration to say that Young Sook had been using a round table because of Da Hyun all this time.
Including Ji Yeon, Su Cheol, Young Sook, and Da Hyun and Min Hyuk, five of them sat at the square marble table.
“I’m not sure if the food will suit your taste.”
“It’s delicious.”
“Well, thank you.”
Da Hyun found Young Sook’s highhanded manner amusing, but she brushed it off, thinking she was maintaining her image in front of Min Hyuk.
But Young Sook’s outfit today was overdone for anyone to see. Da Hyun seriously wanted to tell her to remove the large pearl earrings she was wearing.
Looking at Min Hyuk, Young Sook inwardly felt endless pity.
If he weren’t an illegitimate child, she might have managed to pair him with Ji Yeon in some way.
Min Hyuk was uncomfortable with Young Sook’s gaze, which was filled with deep sorrow from her eyes painted with dark eyeliner and red lipstick, but he held back.
This was, after all, Da Hyun’s home, and a place to meet her family.
Despite the neatly prepared meal in front of her, Da Hyun had no appetite.
Ji Yeon, without even a greeting, seemed to be gritting her teeth and enduring this gathering, only moving her chopsticks.
In a way, that was rather comfortable. After all, she would not utter anything pleasant if she opened her mouth.
“Do you intend to cut ties with your father now that you’re married? How could you not contact him at all? Is this what your father taught you?”
The ongoing meal ended when Su Cheol put his spoon down.
As Su Cheol put his spoon down, Da Hyun, as if used to it, placed her chopsticks on the table.
“I’m sorry.”
“Do I have to contact Mr. Kang myself?”
“I’m sorry.”
Da Hyun apologized to Su Cheol as if she was used to this too. She hardly had any occasion to not apologize to Su Cheol, as she was always home. She had given up on dinner from the moment she agreed to eat with Su Cheol.
It’s starting again. I thought I had escaped, but it seems I hadn’t.
Like a puppet, Da Hyun apologized with a deadpan face.
Min Hyuk couldn’t comprehend which part she should apologize for.
One apologizes when feeling sorry, but she apologized immediately, without even considering whether she was at fault or not.
In less than 30 minutes since he had sat down, Min Hyuk realized how she had lived and dealt with them.
“It seems Da Hyun has been too busy and tired recently that she forgot to contact you. Fatherinlaw, you can contact me instead of Da Hyun from now on.”
Min Hyuk put his chopsticks down, took a sip of water, and calmly opened his mouth.
“What’s she so busy with? She has housemaids to do all the chores. Even when I tried teaching Da Hyun manners since she was young, she never learned properly. It’s my failure for not educating my child correctly. I’m sorry.”
Su Cheol laid out his regret as if he was truly addressing his soninlaw.
Just two years ago, Su Cheol had treated Min Hyuk as a stranger he’d never met before. Min Hyuk too, had respectfully treated Su Cheol as a fatherinlaw, without any mention.
For now, that is.
