But he could not insist any further.
The complexion of Su Yeon, who said such things, seemed to be doing her best to look okay.
The expression on her face clearly stated that she didn’t want to have this conversation anymore, to the point where he felt sorry for repeating the same thing.
And so,
He didn’t insist anymore.
He thought she would suggest hiring a new lady when she could no longer bear it.
But Su Yeon, despite falling sick from hard housework, never mentioned hiring an assistant again.
He had once asked his mother to send the lady who looked after the house in Seongbukdong to his newlywed house, because he couldn’t stand it anymore.
If she felt uncomfortable with a stranger, he thought the lady from Yeongcheon would be fine.
However, the person who visited the newlywed’s house a few days later was a strange middleaged woman, not from Yeongcheon.
He immediately called his mother, but the reply was that it was a matter agreed with Su Yeon.
After hanging up, he looked for Su Yeon.
“Do you think you’ll be okay with the new lady?”
“……Yes, I’m fine. I was fine on my own. Did you worry a lot?”
Su Yeon, who said so, still did not look well.
But again, Su Yeon was doing her best to appear fine.
It was really strange, but he let it go.
He did not want to talk more about the helper, the signs were still there.
But that was not all that was strange about Su Yeon.
“This time I’ll go to the family gathering alone, you rest. You look pale.”
She had a severe flu and couldn’t move all day, so she decided to go to the planned dinner with her parents alone.
It was a decision In Ho made considering Su Yeon.
But then Su Yeon struggled to her feet.
And then she said something else.
“No, I’m fine. I can go.”
Yes, she said she was fine then too.
Su Yeon’s words continued after that.
“Do you have something going on these days? You’ve been talking about pregnancy all the time. You look increasingly pale.”
He carefully asked her as she asked for intercourse every ovulation day, and brought up the topic of children every time she returned from a tough shoot.
He wondered if she might be under pressure about pregnancy that he didn’t know about.
But even then, Su Yeon’s answer was the same.
“……No, I think I just didn’t sleep well last night. I’m fine, there’s no problem with my condition. But today is ovulation day……”
What was so fine about it?
Even though her face didn’t look fine at all.
From then on.
Su Yeon’s words of being fine started to pile up in In Ho’s heart.
The pocket that was no bigger than a small circle started to inflate and enlarge, eventually filling In Ho’s heart.
In Ho didn’t want to hear Su Yeon’s words of being fine anymore.
Just having one thing he didn’t want to hear made the distance between him and Su Yeon grow day by day.
As the gap grew out of control, Su Yeon’s obsession with pregnancy did not fade.
In Ho was disgusted with the idea of pregnancy and didn’t want to see Su Yeon, who was obsessed with it.
In a moment, the affectionate couple had become worse than strangers.
That’s why In Ho didn’t know.
He didn’t realize that Su Yeon, who was originally quiet, was losing more words, and that her difficult and shy expressions were drying up.
He couldn’t even imagine that there was an outrageous contempt and assault from her mother behind all of this.
“……Hoo.”
In Ho let out a heavy sigh.
Even knowing that Su Yeon had been through such a thing, the feeling of discomfort in my heart couldn’t be alleviated.
No matter how I tried, I couldn’t rationalize it by claiming ignorance.
Did I really not know?
No, I did not.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know, I just didn’t want to know.
I thought it would be better to be indifferent rather than to ruin our relationship further with a conversation that was just about pregnancy.
What could Su Yeon possibly have said to me?
When the thought reached that point, In Ho found himself unable to breathe properly.
All along, he had blamed Su Yeon for everything.
He accused her of ruining a marriage that, despite being a strategic one, had not been bad at all.
But it wasn’t true.
He had no idea that Su Yeon had been sending signals in her own way all along.
All those things that he had always found odd.
The sudden dismissal of the maid one day, her insistence on meeting her inlaws even when she had a high fever, her obsessive talk about a child they never discussed after getting married.
All those moments were signals Su Yeon had been sending to him.
Your mother is tormenting me too much.
Your mother is making it too hard for me.
Living with you is so difficult that I think I can’t bear it anymore.
My wife, foolishly kind, couldn’t say those words for fear of possibly hurting her husband.
Instead, she pleaded with words of reassurance and sent signals, something he only realized now.
In Ho took a deep breath.
But no matter how much he inhaled, the feeling of suffocation did not subside.
“Heh.”
A heavy sigh escaped from In Ho’s lips one after another.
Suddenly he had a thought.
Perhaps this bolt from the blue, of waking up in a different body, was punishment for not taking care of his wife, whom he promised to spend his lifetime with.
“…So should I accept this punishment?”
Mumbling faintly, In Ho looked distantly at Su Yeon’s back.
Her back, motionless even after a long time, seemed to represent her heart.
It seemed filled with so much resentment that she might never want to show her face to him again.
His heart was heavy.
So.
In Ho slowly rose from the sofa and approached Su Yeon.
I missed my wife, who was shamelessly absent.
I felt like if I didn’t look at her like this, I might never see her again.
But all he could do was look at her back, unable to move.
I felt like I hadn’t done anything she wanted until now.
Even secretly watching her like this against her will might feel like deceiving my wife.
So In Ho stood still for a long time.
How much time had passed?
Suddenly, he slowly moved his hand, which hadn’t moved at all.
Then he gently held the hand of his sleeping wife.
It was just for a moment.
In Ho, who quickly let go of her hand, gazed at Su Yeon for a long time and then whispered softly.
“…I’m sorry.”
The feelings he couldn’t voice out due to shame, he managed to convey them like that.
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?”
