Not wanting to let time pass indefinitely in this ambiguous state, Chae Yoon brought up the subject of finalizing the divorce.
“I think a month is a long enough time. I don’t want to care about this anymore, so please finalize the documents as quickly as possible.”
Chae Yoon finished speaking and turned her back to him.
Without any hesitation, she walked towards the door, but a low voice reached her from behind.
“You said it would be okay.”
Chae Yoon’s steps halted.
“In a little while, it will be all right, you said that.”
The round head slowly turned towards Jae Oh, filling Chae Yoon’s view with him.
His face was filled with disturbance while she wasn’t looking.
“But why does it keep coming to mind.”
The gaze that reached her seemed to resent me somewhere.
“So you can’t organize the documents yet?”
“Yeah.”
An answer without a hint of hesitation. A gaze that let emotions be felt just by facing it.
These things told her that his confusion was deep, but Chae Yoon didn’t want to put any meaning on Jae Oh’s reaction. It was clear that I would get hurt if I meant it.
Therefore, while she was saving words, she heard something unbelievable.
“For now, come back home.”
Chae Yoon’s eyes, which had been blinking quietly, grew in an instant.
“Why does the story suddenly go that way?”
As she shot back, Jae Oh scrutinized Chae Yoon’s facial features.
The things he had felt during the month he had been apart, and then he realized when he saw Chae Yoon again after a month.
I still want to keep you by my side.
Jae Oh, who could not leave Chae Yoon alone, who came to mind even when he couldn’t see her, and made him worry about all sorts of things once he thought of her, told the reason.
“I can’t leave you alone.”
Chae Yoon countered without any hesitation.
“I want to be alone.”
It was a very firm voice.
Since there was no sign of changing her mind, Jae Oh moved his feet that had been standing still.
With a heavy shoe heel sound, he came to Chae Yoon and met the eyes that seemed to shoot at me and said.
“If you wanted to be alone, you shouldn’t have shown such a face that looks like you’re going to fall down soon.”
The low resonant tone was heavy.
In the intertwined gaze, the meaning that I will never leave you alone from now on was shining clearly.
For some reason, its heaviness felt a bit different from usual, so her heart fluttered for a moment.
It was useless to tell her not to run.
Suddenly, the words he said came to mind as the chest that ran regardless of her will put force on the beat.
“There is no special reason. I just don’t like seeing you alone…..”
The heart beat that was running at a fast tempo calmed down like a lie.
This man is pitying me again just like then, but why am I again….
“…..”
Chae Yoon, who resented the bitterness she didn’t want to feel again and herself who was momentarily shaken by his words, could not say anything.
At Chae Yoon’s silence, wrinkles formed on Jae Oh’s forehead.
The reason Chae Yoon doesn’t want to come home is probably because of Ji Pil.
“I used to adore Chae Yoon more because I thought of her as my granddaughterinlaw.”
If Jipil kept his distance from Chae Yoon because of that reason, and so if Chae Yoon now hated to come home like this, he could have resolved it.
Jae Oh thought that Jipil would heed his words sufficiently if he told him to refrain from any actions or words that would disturb Chae Yoon’s feelings until the divorce was finalized, since it was he who brought her back in because he didn’t want to divorce.
So he started to persuade Chae Yoon with his words.
“Grandfather drawing a line with you suddenly is….”
“Brother.”
Chae Yoon interrupted his words.
Chae Yoon, locking eyes with Jae Oh, spoke with unwavering eyes.
“I’m now a stranger to you, brother.”
Though the divorce papers were not yet finalized, when we left the house, we were already over.
“So, whether you think I’m about to collapse or not, brother, you just need to do what you have to do.”
Her calm demeanor as she spoke with a poker face was the same as when she talked about divorce.
Seeing Chae Yoon, who seemed utterly uncatchable no matter what he did, Jae Oh clenched his fists tightly.
“Are you saying that now? No matter how much we…”
“So far, it was.”
Upon hearing the word ‘we’, Chae Yoon firmly cut off Jae Oh’s words.
“So far…”
His speaking voice trembled feebly.
Chae Yoon, recalling the days she had been turned away from him until now, felt her vision blur with tears.
But she didn’t want to cry in front of him, so she forced her body to be strong and continued speaking.
“So far, you didn’t care at all whether I was hurting or not, right?”
Even though.
“For three years, continuously doing that, why….”
Why are you shaking me like this again when I’m trying to end things?
Not knowing whether his feelings originated from affection or sympathy, she was shaken by each of his actions and had to boil inside alone.
