“Why do you keep nibbling? Don’t just wrap rice in soup, eat all the side dishes evenly. You’re not a picky eater. You say your arms and legs are fine, do I have to feed you?”
Seeing him nibble at the rice in the soup with a spoon, Gyo Hwan nagged.
“If you keep nibbling and not eating properly, I’ll force you to eat.”
Knowing his serious gaze was not an empty threat, Hyo Jin quickly shoved rice soaked in seaweed soup into her mouth and crammed the side dishes on the plate with her chopsticks.
“Let’s take a bath together after finishing the meal.”
“Pfft!”
She almost sprayed seaweed on his face.
“Why should I take a bath with you?”
He is indeed a strange person.
“Why are you so surprised? The one who first kissed?”
“No way.”
When would he say it was an accident with his own mouth?
“You can’t take a bath alone. The nurse stressed that water shouldn’t touch the stitches until they’re removed. Yul agreed to help wash your hair too.”
My goodness. I can’t even tell now if the food is going into my mouth or nose, and he’s going to wash my hair too?
“I’ll do it myself.”
Hyo Jin felt as if her hair stood on end and was about to be pulled out just by imagining his delicate hands, that seemed to smell like soap, touching her scalp.
“I can’t sleep because of it. I couldn’t sleep because of the sound of scratching your head.”
Scratching every time I was about to fall asleep.
Why did my scalp itch if I didn’t wash it for just one day?
Hyo Jin was about to resent her parents for giving her oily scalp.
“Then you can go home and sleep comfortably. Why do you have to sleep next to me?”
Ah, should I have contacted the stork instead? Ha, then he would have raised hell asking what happened. What about grandmother worrying?
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Gyo Hwan’s large hand rested on Hyo Jin’s forehead.
“Hmm. You still have a bit of a fever.”
Hyo Jin’s heart sunk as if he had pounced on her.
Father, touching like that will cause a fever that wasn’t there…!
His touch lingered for a moment and then fell away, yet Hyo Jin felt her face burning and her heart throbbing, she swept her surprised heart away.
Knock, knock.
Gyo Hwan put down his chopsticks and stood up at the knock coming from outside the door.
“It must be Yul.”
However, the person who rushed in even before he could open the door was Ja Hyun.
Is this what they call adding insult to injury?
To the left, Gyo Hwan. To the right, Ja Hyun.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Hyo Jin got up, sensing her fate was about to get caught in a fight between two giants, and gave a small bow.
“Did the Madam come?”
As expected, Ja Hyun, who did not receive a greeting, raised her sharp eyebrows at Gyo Hwan.
“What on earth are you doing?”
Spending the night together in one room, and from morning being on friendly terms.
“Why on earth are you here, mother?”
Gyo Hwan stood blocking Hyo Jin as if to block Ja Hyun’s sharp gaze with his broad shoulders, which were like the horizon.
“Even knowing that your future motherinlaw is admitted upstairs, are you doing this? How can you do this in the same hospital, not just another hospital, when you are upstairs and downstairs? Go immediately and apologize for causing worry, let alone not being able to apologize.”
“Why should I apologize?”
The person who should apologize is you.
Gyo Hwan let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.
“Did Dr. Bong seduce Yul and pretend to be his mother at school?”
At the voice, that was not just unpleasant but sounded deadly, Hyo Jin’s spine shivered.
“Oh, so you’re very angry, I guess?”
Ja Hyun glared coldly at Gyo Hwan, who sarcastically pretended to be surprised.
“You, are you saying that now?”
It was clear that he was intentionally trying to scratch a mother’s heart.
“I told him to do that. At school, the mothers were having an exhibition, and Yul said he didn’t have a mom.”
“What?”
Ja Hyun, who was rubbing her stiff neck from stress, frowned.
“You should have told that to Hana! Did you know from the beginning and still did that?”
Gyo Hwan calmly retorted, making eye contact.
“Yes. Are you done now?”
“Hey!”
Ah, that’s surprising.
Hyo Jin, feeling the deep annoyance from Ja Hyun coming up from the hallway, didn’t need a bed of thorns.
“Are you really crazy? You said you’ve never done anything shameful to Yul! That’s why Isabelle was so angry she chased after you. A woman working under you is going around claiming to be your son’s mother, what mother wouldn’t misunderstand? I also chased after her and grabbed her by the hair!”
“If you don’t know anything, stay quiet. This is a hospital.”
Gyo Hwan looked at Hyo Jin with an indifferent face, maintaining his composure as expected.
“Are you okay?”
Ja Hyun felt her anger rise at Hyo Jin’s attitude of worrying about her wellbeing in front of her.
“Don’t worry. Just tell me what happened that day, and I’ll sort out the situation.”
Convinced that her mother would never come out like this if she knew the truth, Gyo Hwan took Ja Hyun and left the hospital room.
