Eunsoo gently touched the ultrasound picture with her fingertips and, after a moment, neatly covered the maternity notebook and placed it on the bedside cabinet.
Outside the window, the branches swayed in the wind, their leaves rustling.
“They sway with lingering feelings, just like me.”
Eunsoo let out a dry laugh.
As she watched the trees moving like they were dancing with each other, Eunsoo nodded as if she had realized something.
The heart, she thought, could waver in many ways.
Furthermore, she couldn’t completely empty her heart of feelings for Hyukju, so it was only natural that her heart would ache at his affectionate words and considerate actions.
So, as long as it swayed, even for a brief moment.
The wind blew loudly as if it would uproot everything, but it would soon calm down.
“You can try as much as you want.”
Najiki spoke, and Eunsoo tightly clenched her lips.
Yeongji didn’t throw her phone to the ground but held her fist tightly.
Hyukju seemed determined to not answer his calls, as if he had intentionally decided to ignore his messages. When he dialed the number, there was no signal, and it immediately went to the automated message without any response.
Yeongji, who sent the message, curled the corner of her lips slightly upwards.
Hyukju was weak when it came to words of pain. If he didn’t get a response to this message either, he planned to check into the hospital.
Then, when he brought up his mother’s story, Hyukju was certain that he would once again protect his side, just like before.
“Could it be that you blocked my messages too?”
Time had passed, but there was no indication that the message had been read. Yeongji pressed her thumb firmly between her lips and chewed on it.
She needed to get in touch with Hyukju; otherwise, she might be driven out.
Continuing to pass time like this, she didn’t even know if she might be sent to some foreign country at the hands of Director Moon Young-ran.
“This is driving me crazy!”
Yeongji, who had placed her phone down on the sofa as if throwing it, walked straight to the kitchen. With a thud, she loudly opened the refrigerator door and took out a can of beer.
As soon as she opened the can, she put it to her lips and drank all the beer in one gulp. The cold beer went down her throat, but it only made her more irritated than before.
“I wonder if something’s wrong with Oh Eun-soo?”
Yeongji narrowed her eyes and lost herself in thought.
There was only one reason why Hyukju would deliberately avoid her calls.
Out of guilt towards Oh Eun-soo.
Hyukju had a strong sense of responsibility. If he considered someone his own, he would do everything to protect them.
Oh Eun-soo was his wife.
Seeing Chairman Moon Young-ran bring up Oh Eun-soo’s past illness and make her uncomfortable, Hyukju might be trying to protect her in any way he can.
“That’s just for a while.”
Yeongji chuckled.
It wouldn’t be long before Hyukju turned away from Oh Eun-soo at Chairman Moon Young-ran’s insistence.
“So, I just have to wait.”
She tried to be patient, but the anxious look on Yeongji’s face remained.
If Hyukju really loved Oh Eun-soo?
“That’s impossible.”
Yeongji shook her head vigorously.
Having spent a long time together by his side, Hyukju remained reserved when it came to the emotion called love.
There had never been even a simple kiss between them.
Once, she had tried to kiss his lips as if she were drunk. However, Hyukju had skillfully avoided it.
So, even though there were rumors circulating that Hyukju and she were lovers who couldn’t live without each other, Yeongji was uneasy.
If they were truly lovers, they should have done everything in the name of love.
“As for Oh Eun-soo…”
When she thought about how Hyukju had given her things he had never allowed himself to do, Yeongji’s breath became uneven.
Muttering to herself, Yeongji walked to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
With anticipation that contact had finally come, Yeongji picked up her phone, which she had casually tossed aside with eager eyes.
“…It’s not Oppa.”
Checking the name of the caller, Yeongji pursed her lips.
It wasn’t Hyukju but a call from Director Song, his close aide. Yeongji answered with a soft, calm voice, not wanting to sound irritated.
“Yes, Director Song.”
— The Vice President would like to meet with you.
“Really?”
Well, in that case.
There was no way Hyukju would turn her away.
Yeongji, feeling relieved by the fact that many of her concerns had turned out to be groundless, smiled brightly.
— Are you available next Wednesday evening?
“Next week? Is there something wrong with Oppa? Is he hurt or something?”
Yeongji became anxious when Director Song, who was talking about the following week rather than meeting immediately, spoke. She didn’t want to give Hyukju any time flexibility.
