Hyuk Joo made a short noise.
As soon as he opened the door, the laughter he had heard from outside vanished as if it had been a hallucination.
No expression was visible on Eun Soo’s face, which had been laughing in a carefree tone.
A thin line of worry creased Hyuk Joo’s smooth forehead.
Seeing the silence that flowed due to his entrance, he felt like he had become an unwelcome guest.
“It must have been an important call.”
“Yes.”
Hyuk Joo briefly answered Hwang In Woo’s question and sat down next to Eun Soo.
He had no appetite.
Just a while ago, Eun Soo, who had only been emptying her rice bowl, seemed to be in the same situation. Hyuk Joo looked at his wife’s bowl.
There were traces of food on the plate, which had been clean when he sat next to her.
Oh Eun Soo, what are you…
Hyuk Joo swallowed the hot something that surged up his throat.
He didn’t care if other people were afraid of him.
It was natural to watch the mood of a person with power, and he had never thought it was strange to rule like that.
But his wife was different.
Husband and wife.
The relationship tied by the name of a married couple was supposed to be the closest relationship in the world.
Moreover, they were living together, sharing their lives.
Yet his wife, Eun Soo, did not hide her fear of him.
Why couldn’t he be a comfortable presence for her?
Hyuk Joo did not understand.
“Just let my mom get treatment. Then, I don’t care what you do.”
The words Eun Soo had said suddenly hit his heart.
From time to time, Eun Soo mentioned the reason why she was keeping her position as Moon Hyuk Joo’s wife.
As if to remind him that she was trying to maintain her position as his wife out of obligation, for her mother’s treatment.
Whenever that happened, Hyuk Joo couldn’t shake off the feeling of misery.
Hyuk Joo reached out his hand and held a cup of water.
Eun Soo was continuing her conversation with Hwang In Woo.
“I want to visit the doctor, can you tell me where he is?”
“He is in the tree in the yard of the villa in Gangwondo.”
“In the tree?”
“Yes. He’s in a tree burial. Next Wednesday is off, do you want to go there if you have time?”
“Ah…”
When Eun Soo turned her head to look at him, Hyuk Joo drank water and answered.
“I need to check with Director Song if there are any other schedules.”
“I don’t think there are any scheduled appointments.”
“…There might have been some in the meantime.”
Hyuk Joo wiped his hands with a napkin and spoke to Eun Soo with an indifferent look.
He could not understand Eun Soo, who casually suggested that she would go to Gangwondo alone with another man in the presence of her husband.
That’s why Hyuk Joo’s reaction came out sharp.
Even knowing that Eun Soo’s eyes were becoming hollow due to his cold words.
It was childish and bad behavior.
But if he didn’t do this, he felt like he would spit out more poisonous words.
Eun Soo, who had shown a disappointed look, soon spoke in a resigned tone.
“I’ll ask Director Song and let you know.”
“Do that.”
Whether she accepted his words about checking the schedule as permission, a smile soon bloomed on Eun Soo’s face.
“In Woo oppa, I’ll contact you again.”
“Okay.”
“I’m sorry for pretending to be busy when you’re busier than me.”
Eun Soo spoke with a smile towards Hwang In Woo.
Hyuk Joo, who had been quietly watching this, clenched the napkin he had been wiping his hands with.
Vitality returned to Eun Soo’s eyes, which had always been dry.
Did her eyes sparkle like that?
It felt like seeing a stranger, not the Eun Soo he knew.
Hyuk Joo felt as if his whole body was being pricked with a needle at the sight of Eun Soo, who seemed to be living just by wearing the pretense of being a wife.
Eun Soo turned her head and looked out the car window.
Should she bring up the fact that she met Seo Yeon Ji today?
No.
It’s pointless.
Eun Soo quietly lowered her head.
Hyuk Joo had already informed her of the woman’s existence and hinted that he would not care about their affairs in the future.
She just had to be faithful to her role as Moon Hyuk Joo’s wife.
Then he would have been considerate, as she had requested, so that her mother could receive treatment without any problems.
Continuously, as it had been up to now.
Despite her certainty that their marriage, which was nothing more than faithful to their respective duties, would continue, why couldn’t she escape from this miserable feeling?
When she recalled the face of Seo Yeon Ji, who affectionately called her husband’s name in front of her, Eun Soo felt suffocated.
She couldn’t breathe properly, as if she were a fish carelessly discarded on a dry, waterless ground.
Eun Soo bit her lips hard.
After returning home, Hyuk Joo went to the bathroom first.
When she heard the sound of water in the bathroom he had entered, Eun Soo took out a bag that contained medical records she had put in her bag.
Thud.
Along with the bag, a business card fell out.
It was a business card of an obstetrician and gynecologist at a hospital with an address in a new city in Gyeonggido.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
