Fortunately, it wasn’t a severe burn, so he was able to be discharged immediately.
In the taxi on the way home, Juwon didn’t let go of Hyeju’s hand for a moment. It was heartbreaking to see the pretty arms with wounds, especially knowing that those wounds were incurred while trying to save him.
“Damn it. Should’ve lived a bit more virtuously.”
He couldn’t be more resentful of himself for being caught in the past. Whether Hyeju knew his heart or not, she had been working hard to unravel the events that had taken place.
Hyeju, who turned out to be the birth mother of Do Si, and Juwon, who learned that the events were a scheme orchestrated by Do Si, couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.
“In the end, your guess was right.”
“I suspected it, but I didn’t think it was true. I thought using a shaman’s power to harm someone was something that only happened in movies. It’s still hard to believe.”
Juwon’s heart felt heavy as if it were a lump of lead. How could he have thought about making a thread by twisting the hair of his deceased daughter?
“It probably means my desire for revenge was that strong.”
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to live with resentment for more than ten years.
It must have been gloomy, lonely, and anxious. Emotions gathered in the damp place would have dragged Do Si into an inexorable swamp.
Rather than hating, it was pitiful to see her desperately holding onto Juwon to live somehow.
Why couldn’t he understand the despair she felt after losing her only family?
Doing wrong without committing a sin was what this was about.
She didn’t wish for Hyerim’s death, nor did she wish for her to die. However, when she left the world, the last person she thought of was Kang Juwon.
Thus, Juwon couldn’t blame Do Si, who had cursed him, wholeheartedly.
“But oppa, seriously, what happened? Wasn’t the scheduled date to return tomorrow?”
“If you can’t get in touch, what do you expect me to do?”
Hyeju opened her mouth at Juwon’s reply.
“Who just catches a plane because their lover can’t be reached anywhere in the world? It’s not like you were off doing something else important; you came out in the middle of an important forum…”
“I considered the importance and made a decision.”
A smile escaped between his lips at those words.
It was gratifying that she had become a perfect priority for him.
However, it was not a job to be praised for pulling out of an important meeting.
“Representative, you shouldn’t do this. Is the safety of a mere employee more important than a meeting attended by representatives from around the world? It’s a serious dereliction of duty!”
Juwon replied to Hyeju’s stern reprimand with a fearless expression.
“What’s there to be afraid of? You can only get fired if you try dereliction of duty. I’m not scared of that kind of thing.”
Juwon pinched Hyeju’s cheek tightly.
“Only Hyeju is important. The person I have to take responsibility for is only Oh Hyeju. That’s my final answer.”
“Jeez…”
Why does it feel good to be pinched?
Hyeju chuckled and playfully slapped Juwon’s palm. Juwon affectionately ran his fingers through Hyeju’s hair.
Then he tightly embraced her shoulders.
[Star icon]Juwon’s house looked as if it had been bombed.
Two days ago, Hyeju had searched the entire house, turning it upside down to find her panties. Seeing clothes sticking out of drawers in the wide-open doors, Juwon let out a light sigh.
“Ah, the state of the house.”
Although the rest of his comment was omitted, it was obvious to Juwon, who always pursued a hotel-like cleanliness, how the current situation would appear.
Hyeju, who hadn’t had time to tidy up properly because she rushed to check her underwear, looked at Juwon with a guilty conscience.
“Haha, I forgot to close the drawer. I wasn’t in my right mind then… I’ll clean up, so you go ahead and take a shower, Oppa.”
“I didn’t say anything to you.”
“You sighed.”
“I do that because I like it. It’s because I like it.”
“Huh?”
As if that statement were not a lie, Juwon rolled up his sleeves.
With a serious gaze that seemed to scan as if the messy house were an enemy, there was a thrill in his eyes.
Oh no, does this Oppa have a cleaning obsession?
Feeling very uncomfortable, Hyeju took a step back.
“I’ll go shower first.”
“Yes.”
In Juwon’s serious gaze reminiscent of when he would tackle a quest, Hyeju couldn’t retort and headed to the bathroom.
A little later.
When she came out after putting on a shower gown, Hyeju’s mouth gaped at the unfolded scene.
“Wow…”
Whether house elf Dobby had visited or not, light shone in the house. It was even so smooth as if she had finished showering.
“Look at how clean the house has become. Did you attach a motor to your hands? Seriously, did you shower already?”
“This is just a piece of cake. You should have been a bit more hurried.”
“I always thought the house was clean because of the maid, but it was Oppa’s skill.”
“Don’t leave the cleaning to others. It’s a hobby.”
Feeling a pang of conscience, Hyeju asked softly.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
