No, it wasn’t that she appeared, it might be that Moon Hyuk Joo was the one who found that woman first.
“I’ll get up first.”
The fatherinlaw was the first to rise from his seat.
It seemed like he had noticed that a burdensome conversation was about to ensue.
Eun Soo wished her husband would also get up from his seat first, excusing himself to go to work. But Hyuk Joo, like a stubborn post, stayed put.
“Why is there no news when there’s nothing wrong with your body?”
“I… I’m sorry.”
At the motherinlaw’s words, Eun Soo bowed her head.
When she looked down, she saw Hyuk Joo’s hand holding the fork.
His hand, which held the fork so tightly that the veins on the back of it bulged, was filled with strength.
The side of Hyuk Joo’s face was harder than ever before.
“Even if there is no child between a couple, words get around. You two know that.”
“I’m not interested in what people who casually talk about married couple’s affairs say.”
“Hyuk Joo!”
“I would appreciate it if you didn’t make me or Eun Soo uncomfortable with the child issue anymore.”
Hyuk Joo spoke in his characteristic low voice, like a rebuke, and got up from his seat.
Eun Soo kept her head bowed, her hands clasped like a sinner.
It only makes it harder for me if you do that.
Saying I’ll try, asking for a little more patience, that would help me.
Eun Soo bit her lip.
“Get up.”
Hyuk Joo, who she thought would storm out alone, stood still and spoke to Eun Soo.
When she turned her head to the side, he was sending her a look, as if asking why she wasn’t getting up immediately.
Not knowing what to do with that look, Eun Soo just squeezed her clasped hands harder.
“I have a morning meeting.”
“……”
“Eun Soo.”
Hyuk Joo, calling out to the still Eun Soo, urged her to get up.
He seemed ready to grab her wrist if necessary.
Perhaps sensing the mood, the motherinlaw took a sip of water. With a soft sigh, she spoke to Eun Soo.
“Get up and help Hyuk Joo prepare for work.”
“…Yes, Aunt.”
With the aunt’s permission, Eun Soo got up from her seat.
She followed Hyuk Joo upstairs to the second floor.
His wide shoulders, which seemed very angry, looked stiffer than ever.
Looking at the solid end of Hyuk Joo’s formidable shoulders, Eun Soo entered the bedroom.
Hyuk Joo, who had turned around, furrowed his brow and spoke.
“If the aunt talks about the child matter like that in the future, ignore her.”
“I will.”
“I mean, don’t say things like ‘I’m sorry,’ like a fool.”
“…You mean, I should think before I act?”
“Think?”
Hyuk Joo’s forehead furrowed deeply.
Eun Soo, spreading his suit jacket, spoke.
“I… I want to have a child.”
“……”
“I think it would be nice to have a child.”
For a moment, Hyuk Joo’s gaze became sharp.
Did it look like she was trying to tie him down with the excuse of a child?
But Eun Soo turned a blind eye to that look.
She felt Hyuk Joo’s gaze watching her. Eun Soo met his gaze headon and forced a dry smile.
“But I probably won’t have a child.”
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing I’ve ever desperately wanted has ever come true. So, I won’t have a child.”
So, you can relax.
She couldn’t bring herself to say the last part out loud.
Eun Soo wanted to be a good mother like her own.
Meeting the eyes of a pretty child who looked like her and giving plenty of love was her longcherished dream.
But it probably wouldn’t come true because it was too desperate.
“You only say you desperately want it.”
Hyuk Joo took a step closer to Eun Soo and tilted his head.
Their faces were close enough to feel the trembling of each other’s soft breaths. Eun Soo’s cheeks turned slightly red at the ticklish sensation brushing her skin.
Eun Soo lowered her gaze. Then, Hyuk Joo cupped her cheek with his hand and made her lift her head.
“While you avoid it like this.”
He continued in a presumptuous tone.
“We should make a child.”
“…What?”
“You said no to a child?”
“That’s…!”
Whatever Eun Soo was about to say was swallowed into Hyuk Joo’s mouth.
Hyuk Joo grabbed Eun Soo’s waist with his arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Hyuk Joo’s suit jacket, which was in Eun Soo’s hand, fell to the floor with a thud.
“Mr. Hyuk Joo…”
“You were the one who said you couldn’t be so generous as to raise a child born from another woman.”
“……”
At Hyuk Joo’s probing words, Eun Soo slowly nodded her head.
Hyuk Joo undid the buttons of his shirt sleeve and picked up his mobile phone. Then he made a call somewhere.
“This is Moon Hyuk Joo.”
The one who made the call revealed his name and immediately continued.
“I won’t be able to attend the meeting this morning. I have a matter at home, so please adjust the morning schedule.”
After hearing the response from the other party agreeing to do so, Hyuk Joo put down his phone.
Eun Soo, not daring to look at his face directly, turned her head to the side.
Hyuk Joo again cupped Eun Soo’s cheek. He put strength into his hand to make Eun Soo look at him straight.
“You said you desperately wanted a child?”
“……”
Eun Soo swallowed her dry saliva.
Hyuk Joo slowly looked over Eun Soo’s white forehead as she looked up at him, her clear eyes, her delicately pointed nose, and her full lips.
Just by his gaze, Eun Soo’s skin flushed as if she was touched by something.
“For someone who was desperate, you were quite passive.”
Hyuk Joo teased Eun Soo’s lips with his finger.
The finger that had been wandering around her full, red lips was now softly caressing her cheek.
Eun Soo remained silent, as Hyuk Joo wished.
When they had their undisturbed time together, Hyuk Joo had a tender and thoughtful look in his eyes. Her heart fluttered every time she saw the reflection of herself in his eyes.
As their eyes met and his finger subtly moved, all of Eun Soo’s senses were focused there.
To the extent that her shoulders twitched slightly.
Perhaps he felt her intense gaze.
The depth in Hyuk Joo’s eyes, looking down at Eun Soo, deepened.
Those eyes, always firm and cold to the point of arrogance, were now trembling languidly.
“So, I’m going to try actively until your wish comes true.”
Hyuk Joo held Eun Soo tightly in his arms.
Pushed by the pressure that seemed to propel her, Eun Soo tightly shut her eyes.
With her eyes closed, the morning sunlight shattered and poured out white.
The hospital room was empty.
Judging from the absence of the humidifier’s water bottle, it seemed that the resident caregiver had gone to refill it.
“Mom, I’m here.”
Eun Soo greeted her lying mother as she took off her coat.
Could it be because she was in a deep sleep without worries?
Her mother seemed like she could rub her eyes and get up at any moment.
At first, Eun Soo resented her mother who hadn’t woken up for years. But now, Eun Soo felt it was better for her mother to keep avoiding reality like this.
She wished that when her mother woke up again, she would forget all her memories.
First and foremost, the horrible fact that her closest friend and husband had deceived her.
“Oh, ma’am. When did you get here?”
“Just now.”
“Oh my, how often does this little one get dirty? I’m on my way back from bathing him.”
The resident caregiver chattered away in her uniquely cheerful tone.
Eun Soo liked the somewhat boisterous caregiver.
It felt as if the potentially heavy atmosphere of the longterm sickroom brightened because of her.
“By the way, ma’am.”
Eun Soo turned her head at the caregiver’s call.
“This morning, the vice president gave me a bonus.”
“Did he?”
“Yes. He told me not to tell you, but he gave me so much bonus…”
Eun Soo was taken aback at the news that Hyuk Joo had given her extra money.
Why all of a sudden?
As a couple scraping by, Eun Soo occasionally found her husband, Hyuk Joo, strange.
Especially when he, who seemed indifferent to the point of being insensitive, suddenly behaved like this.
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?”
