Mrs. Choi found him and smiled awkwardly.
She probably heard everything about his fight with Tae Teon. She must have seen it all as Tae Teon entered the room crying.
But now was not the time to worry about that. He had to take care of Tae Teon.
Do Jun knocked on the bedroom door where Tae Teon would be.
“Ms. Jin Tae Teon.”
There was no response. Do Jun hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“I’m really sorry for what I said earlier.”
“……”
“In fact, I was jealous.”
What he said was not out of consciousness of Mrs. Choi. It was not calculated.
Do Jun was also shocked by the words that flowed from his own mouth.
((()))((()))((()))
Sitting on the bed, Tae Teon was wiping away her tears, regretting.
“Why are you crying there?”
It was unfair, but there was no reason to show tears in front of Do Jun.
Do Jun would have found Min Hyun’s abrupt action today confusing enough.
But even as she tried to think that way, the sense of being wronged did not disappear.
“It’s okay. Just hold on for 6 months.”
Once this time passed, there would be no need for such an absurd act, and she could disappear from Do Jun’s side.
By the time her tears stopped, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Thinking it was obviously Mrs. Choi, Tae Teon bit her lip and took a deep breath.
Tae Teon regretted showing this side of her in front of Mrs. Choi.
“Sigh. It must have reached Mr. Cha’s ears too…….”
She planned to walk out to the living room again, pretending to be okay, and strike up a conversation with Mrs. Choi.
When Tae Teon was looking at her face in the mirror.
Do Jun’s soft bass echoed from outside.
“Ms. Jin Tae Teon.”
The person knocking from outside was not Mrs. Choi but Do Jun, and she was surprised once.
And then she was surprised a second time by the words he said afterward.
“I was jealous, actually.”
Tae Teon blinked her wide eyes, not believing what she heard.
Do Jun continued.
“May I come in?”
Tae Teon walked over to the door and turned the handle. Do Jun stood outside the slightly opened door, not knowing what to do.
Do Jun slid the door further and entered the bedroom.
And after closing the door quietly, he stared at Tae Teon’s face, the skin around her eyes tinged red.
Tae Teon avoided his gaze. And she apologized for showing tears in front of Do Jun.
“I’m sorry about earlier.”
“Why are you apologizing, Ms. Jin Tae Teon?”
“I shouldn’t have shown such a sight in front of Mrs. Choi…….”
Do Jun roughly swept back his bangs with one hand.
“Today’s incident is entirely my fault.”
There was no response from Tae Teon, but Do Jun continued.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been a little on edge lately.”
“No, I fully understand why you reacted the way you did, Do Jun.”
Tae Teon lifted her head to look up at Do Jun. Her face was full in his deep, quiet eyes.
“If my behavior becomes a problem and reaches Mr. Cha’s ears…….”
Tae Teon firmly held her fumbling hands.
“I’ll be more careful from now on.”
There was nothing more to talk about between them.
Having promised to become a couple who looked good from the outside, Tae Teon rose from the bed.
Do Jun blocked her way. Tae Teon unconsciously stepped back at the broad shoulders in front of her eyes.
“What I said earlier, I meant it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“About my apologies.”
“Oh, yes. Do Jun apologized.”
“And also about being jealous.”
“…Jealous?”
Jealous.
It was an awkward word to pass between them.
Confusion filled Tae Yeon’s face.
“I absolutely hate when someone touches what’s mine.”
“…..”
“I was furious when I saw that boy trying to touch Miss Jin Tae Yeon’s hand and cheek.”
“What?”
Does this man even understand what he’s saying?
Tae Yeon, who had been listening quietly, corrected his words.
“Isn’t that more like possessiveness than jealousy?”
And then she regretted her words immediately.
‘Possessiveness? What am I saying.’
Despite knowing that Do Jun wouldn’t feel such emotions for her.
Tae Yeon tried to correct the words she had carelessly blurted out, but Do Jun acknowledged it by nodding his head.
“You’re right. That seems like a more accurate description.”
“What?”
“It’s somewhere between jealousy and possessiveness.”
Tae Yeon laughed awkwardly, her eyes halfclosed.
“Have you… been drinking?”
“Me?”
Do Jun laughed snortingly.
“So it sounds like I’m talking crazy, is that it?”
“Yes…. because you keep saying things that make no sense.”
Looking at Tae Yeon who was unusually honest today, Do Jun pulled the corner of his mouth.
“Regardless, Miss Jin Tae Yeon is my wife.”
“…..”
“That means she is my possession.”
Do Jun took another step closer, significantly reducing the distance between them.
“I can’t let another man touch her cheek, which I haven’t even properly touched, can I?”
As soon as he finished, a warm touch was felt on Tae Yeon’s cheek.
Tae Yeon widened her eyes and tried to step back, but Do Jun had already tightly grasped her waist.
“Miss Jin Tae Yeon, you can do whatever you want to me too.”
“What….”
“Possessiveness, jealousy. And even these small touches.”
Tae Yeon could only laugh awkwardly without any reply.
“Because we are a couple.”
