“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why would I suggest marriage with the excuse of a child? How could I say I’m pregnant, not only for myself but also for our child, and be exploited by you? I find it too distasteful.”
Sighing deeply, Sajun seemed to exhale as if the ground was collapsing.
“Min Taehee, what do you really take me for?”
“I told you, you love me. So, I had to confirm your feelings. Whether you really loved me or not.”
Sajun made a surprised expression.
Now, he could understand how emotionally unaware and dull Kang Sajun was.
He had said it wasn’t with words, but he had already expressed his feelings.
With his gaze, his expressions, and every time he embraced her.
“You just used Minseontae to get into my ears. After hearing that, if you didn’t come to me, I was really going to clean up all my lingering feelings.”
Sajun, who had been listening quietly, said something truly unnecessary.
“So, your words mean that you weren’t with that bastard Song Jehyun because you liked him.”
“Why is that name coming up now? I told you, I have no lingering feelings for Song Jehyun.”
Taehee immediately frowned.
“You suggested we break up, yet I saw you two together in front of my house. You shed tears as if you didn’t want to show that to me, and you acted so affectionate toward him.”
As the sad memory resurfaced, Taehee became irritated.
“Yeah, I cried a lot that day, so what? That jerk didn’t come, and an annoying guy came instead, pestering me! Do you understand my feelings? How scared and terrified I was!”
“Even so, did you cry like that in front of that bastard Song Jehyun? Sitting so close that you could reach out and touch him?”
Both of them didn’t know they would end up having a childish lover’s quarrel, something they hadn’t done even during their dating days.
“If you found it so unpleasant, you should have run over and torn him apart! ‘This woman is mine, why can’t you say it!'”
At that remark, Sajun’s mouth shut as if he were telling a lie. His mouth corners, twitching as if asking when he complained.
“Taehee, are you mine?”
“Do you really not know I’m joking?”
Did he want to ask that in the current situation? It was absurd, so Taehee became even more angry. She wanted to pour out the lingering bits of sadness in her chest.
“I cried because of you, and you say that to me? So, because of you, I cried, and you were saying what? That if you had come a bit sooner, I would have clashed with Song Jehyun…?”
Wait a moment, it was the day when Song Jehyun visited, the day she broke up with Sajun.
“Sajun, did you come to me right away that day? Within less than 12 hours?”
Sajun had a face that said ‘I messed up,’ but it was too late.
“If you had come, you would have seen and left, so why did you just go?”
I was crying, blood streaming from my knees as I fell.
“If you were me, wouldn’t you have looked away? I thought you might have an accident, so I turned around.”
Sajun, poking me as if to say when did he complain, had a face that was annoyed, remembering that time.
“Were you jealous? Seeing me with Jehyun sunbae.”
Sajun’s fair face turned bright red.
Seeing that, Taehee strangely felt like laughing. Now, it seemed like Sajun really liked her.
Just as she was thinking how hard it was to come this far, Sajun said with a stern expression.
“Tell Minseontae that I won’t meet him. Also, Min Taehee, you and I w…”
“I won’t marry you.”
Taehee calmly interrupted Sajun.
“I won’t stop you from becoming a father, but it’s still hard for me to believe in your feelings towards me.”
“…”
“To trust you, I know you too well. Your current situation, where you don’t want to become Seomun’s successor, where you don’t want to marry a woman you don’t even know, and you’re still comfortable with me, who is familiar and easy. Your heart that might confuse that with love.”
It was a lie.
Taehee now believed in Sajun, and this was something she could say because she trusted him.
“What do I have to do for you to believe me?”
Finally, the awaited words were spoken.
So, Taehee answered calmly.
“Reconcile with Chairman Kang. It doesn’t mean you have to be affectionate like other husbands, but at least don’t live like them. It would be better if you became Seomun’s successor while you’re at it.”
Sajun made a disgusted expression.
Taehee knew his feelings well, but at times like this, she resolved herself firmly.
Solely for the unborn child.
She hoped not to grow up lonely, wished to be loved by everyone, and desired a sturdy background that no one could take lightly.
“You know it too, even if a knife were at my throat, those two things are what I dislike.”
Sajun’s gaze out the window turned stern.
Despite that, he did not say that he would rather die.
“So, it means I can trust you. If I trust you, there’s no reason we can’t get married.”
“…”
“Kang Sajun.”
When Taehee called him, Sajun reluctantly averted his gaze.
Looking at Taehee with her stubborn jet-black eyes, she smiled brightly.
“Since we’re in love, can’t you make the woman you love the little lady of Seomun? I’m an ambitious woman too.”
