“I’m relieved. But you should skip lunch. If you keep eating on a full stomach, it will only make you feel worse.”
“Ah, okay. Don’t worry about me…”
“And I’ll take care of this person.”
Once again, In Ho cut off Young Seon’s words.

Then he waved his hand in the air, holding Su Yeon’s hand.

He showed an attitude of not being curious about his mother’s following words.

“I’m hungry and so is she, so I thought we’d have lunch and a date. Please look at this. She’s so skinny despite me feeding her, and it worries me.”
“…”
“Next time you call her, please prepare a lot of delicious food. I think your hand taste is better than mine and it will be much more helpful for her health. Can you do that for me?”
The pupils of In Ho’s eyes shone seriously as he spoke.

Please realize again that this woman you treat lightly is your son’s precious partner and wife.

He spun the message he couldn’t tell directly and finally delivered it to Young Seon.

Young Seon couldn’t answer easily.

It was a request to take good care of Su Yeon, but she must have realized that it contained a warning.

That was enough.

This should be enough for now.

The effect of today’s work would be seen in the future.

In Ho, satisfied, smiled and looked at Su Yeon.

“Shall we go now? I have a shooting in the afternoon, so I have some free time. Is there anything you want to eat? Just say it. I’ll buy anything you want.”
His eyes, asking her out, were filled with energy like never before.

((())) ((())) ((()))

Su Yeon stared at In Ho, sitting across from her, in silence.

In Ho, unlike when he was at his inlaws’ house, was eating the food that was served a while ago without saying anything.

There were so many things she wanted to ask, but she couldn’t because she didn’t want to interrupt his meal.

Because this meal they were having together might be his first and last meal of the day.

Su Yeon found it hard to suppress her curiosity, but she tried anyway.

Because of that, she completely forgot that she should eat too.

In Ho noticed this and stopped his chopsticks, looking at Su Yeon.

“What are you doing not eating?”
Surprised by the sudden voice, Su Yeon lifted her head.

“What?”
“The food has been out for a while, what are you doing not eating?”
“Ah…”
Su Yeon blinked her eyes, letting out a short sigh.

She felt strange.

It felt like In Ho was taking care of her.

“Eat. You like this, don’t you?”
In Ho pushed the braised ribs towards Su Yeon.

Su Yeon focused her gaze on the wellmarinated meat.

Just by looking at it, she salivated at the glistening, appetizing visual.

As he said, it was a dish she had loved since she was a child, so it seemed all the more delicious.

But now, it took her a long time to remember that it was a food she liked, as no one had ever cared for her, and she had also forgotten about it.

But you remembered, didn’t you?

Seo In Ho, you remembered what food I liked.

That thought was engraved in Su Yeon’s mind.

At the same time, her heart started to beat heavily.

The pounding was so intense, she felt as if In Ho could hear it, even though it was happening inside her body.

Su Yeon took a deep breath.

“Why did your face turn so red all of a sudden? Are you uncomfortable?”

In Ho, who could not know what was going on inside Su Yeon, asked with a worried voice.

In Ho, who was showing such tender concern.

Despite being the image of a husband she hadn’t hoped for, Su Yeon could not respond.

The gentle In Ho, whom she had only seen in her imagination, further stimulated her already intensely reacting heart.

Su Yeon fidgeted with her fingers hidden under the table and barely managed to lower her head.

But to In Ho, even that behavior seemed worrisome.

“If you’re uncomfortable, tell me. And while I’m at it, you need to take care of your health. How do you endure it all? If you just walk a little faster, your body…”

In Ho’s nagging, which wasn’t part of the plan, continued.

Su Yeon bit her innocent lips tightly.

It felt like a dream.

However, an unbearable tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

Every word spat out by In Ho felt like it was being broken down into syllables and piercing her body.

“Start exercising right now. No, before that, get a checkup…”
“Ah, I got it.”

So Su Yeon had no choice but to answer In Ho urgently, even cutting him off.

It looked like In Ho was puzzled by the sudden interruption, but she couldn’t help it.

She had to hold her breath to withstand the tingling sensation that started spreading all over her body, and because of that, she was on the verge of fainting.

After taking a deep breath for a while, Su Yeon hurriedly responded, looking at In Ho.

“I’ll exercise. And I’ll book the checkup.”
“…”
“So, continue eating, please.”

She was not one to make promises she couldn’t keep.

But to cope with In Ho’s gaze, which could not leave her, she felt she had to respond.

Otherwise, she felt as if her body would burn up under his blazing gaze, leaving only ashes.

“Okay. Now eat quickly.”

Seeming pleased with her obedient response, In Ho nodded his head with a much lighter face.

Then, he fixed his gaze elsewhere.

Su Yeon followed In Ho’s gaze.

The moment she recognized what object had caught his attention, Su Yeon had to move her hand quickly.

Without delay, she picked up her spoon and shoveled a large spoonful of rice into her mouth.

What In Ho was staring at persistently was the spoon in front of her.

The gaze was so intense that it seemed he would feed her if she didn’t eat quickly.

Su Yeon chewed and swallowed the rice vigorously.

Thanks to that, she was able to finish a bowl of rice in no time.

It was truly the first time in a long time she had seen an empty bowl of rice.
