Eun Soo was flabbergasted.
He was openly seeing another woman, yet he didn’t like the idea of her doing something with In Woo.
In the end, Eun Soo let out a hollow laugh.
“In Woo and I, we’re not in the kind of relationship you’re thinking about.”
“I know.”
“Do you know? Ah, then I think I know why you’re doing this. You’re doing this now because you’re afraid that someone might misunderstand. You must be worried that if the wife of the successful Moon Hyuk Joo is seen with another man, some strange rumors might circulate.”
She had tried to speak calmly, but the more she spoke, the more her emotions escalated.
A crack had formed in the heart she had been pressing down on, and emotions were surging up like wild horses. That’s why her voice kept rising.
At the same time, her cheeks were hot. And, without realizing it, tears were streaming down her face.
Was it because of the tears?
Her heart, which had been rippling like a wave, quickly became calm.
Wiping her wet face with her palm, Eun Soo spoke again in her usual calm voice.
“I’ll be careful. So that no such rumors arise. Will that do?”
At that moment, Hyuk Joo pulled Eun Soo into his arms.
“You know better than anyone that I’m not someone who cares about rumors.”
At his words, Eun Soo looked up at him blankly.
He doesn’t care about rumors.
Moon Hyuk Joo doesn’t.
Even Hyuk Joo’s words, given to comfort her, sounded distasteful to Eun Soo.
At the same time, it felt like pressure telling her not to care about rumors as well.
Not to waver, even if rampant rumors circulated about their couple and Seo Yeon Ji.
What exactly did this man want?
Eun Soo suddenly became curious. If a woman he couldn’t forget had returned, he should have apologized to her and suggested they break up first. But Hyuk Joo didn’t.
As she thought about it, Eun Soo concluded that Hyuk Joo, too, was a person with an uncontrollable desire. An ordinary human being who couldn’t give up what he had.
He probably valued the many things he held in both hands more than love.
If that wasn’t the case, he should have given up everything from the beginning and chosen Seo Yeon Ji.
“I don’t have any thoughts of divorce.”
The words Hyuk Joo had spoken, along with the news that Seo Yeon Ji had contacted him, came to mind again. He must have been in deep thought after receiving Seo Yeon Ji’s contact.
About what the right choice would be.
If he hadn’t contemplated, he would have asked her for a divorce the very day Seo Yeon Ji contacted him.
He must have concluded not to divorce Eun Soo after his contemplation. Instead, he must have thought of a way to be with Seo Yeon Ji with Eun Soo’s permission.
A relationship permitted by his wife.
Eun Soo felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
“He’s a man who doesn’t care about rumors. I know that very well.”
Suppressing her surging emotions, Eun Soo spoke with a nonchalant face.
Hyuk Joo’s face twisted as he looked down at her expressionless face.
“Why are you acting so sensitive today?”
“……I wonder why. Why have I become so sensitive?”
Eun Soo barely held back her tears and forced a smile.
When the other person showed a different behavior than usual, he should have asked if something happened. However, with the word ‘sensitive,’ Hyuk Joo was attributing all the responsibility of the situation to her.
Eun Soo felt tears welling up in her eyes again and bit her lip.
If she cried more here, she would really become a sensitive person, so she tensed her entire face.
Perhaps it was because an uneasy storm had passed.
Hyuk Joo and Eun Soo, lying in bed, couldn’t fall asleep easily.
Eun Soo lay still, staring blankly into the void with her eyes open.
Perhaps it was because she had spoken a few words she had wanted to say to Hyuk Joo earlier, she felt on edge. Perhaps because of that, she felt a prickling pain in her lower abdomen and felt uneasy.
Eun Soo got up from the bed. Then, Hyuk Joo also got up following her.
“I’m sorry. Did you wake up because of me?”
“No. Can’t you sleep?”
“No. I just want to go to the bathroom.”
Eun Soo got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. She slightly furrowed her fine eyebrows at the throbbing pain that started in her lower abdomen.
There was still over a week left for her period……
Eun Soo didn’t take it seriously, knowing that her cycle sometimes changed.
It seems like I’ve been under quite a lot of stress.
Indeed, anyone in the same situation as her would not have been mentally well.
After adjusting her clothes, Eun Soo closed her eyes tightly and then opened them.
Suddenly, a saddening thought came to her.
Once she started her period, Hyuk Joo would believe, as he had said earlier, that she had spouted such words today because she was in a sensitive state.
He would attribute each and every small change in her emotions to hormonal issues and dismiss it nonchalantly.
“……I’m the problem.”
A deep sigh was mixed with Eun Soo’s voice. She brushed her hair back with her hand.
“If I can bear it…… no, if I can endure it, everything can go on as it is now, right?”
Eun Soo clenched her dry hands around her face.
It was about continuing to live as she had been, a trivial matter, but her throat was dry. Barely suppressing her surging emotions, Eun Soo lifted her chin high.
When she bit down hard on her lower lip, thankfully, the tears that were about to flow from her eyes retreated.
As she came out of the bathroom and entered the bedroom, she saw Hyuk Joo sitting, leaning his upper body against the head of the bed.
“Didn’t you sleep?”
“Yeah. I can’t seem to sleep.”
“You have to drive tomorrow. You should sleep quickly.”
Eun Soo told Hyuk Joo as she got into the bed. As she lay down, he too laid down in the bed.
And not long after, Hyuk Joo warmly embraced Eun Soo’s small back as she was lying curled up.
“Hyuk Joo.”
“Hm?”
“Not tonight.”
Realizing what Eun Soo was saying, Hyuk Joo sat up. He looked down at Eun Soo lying on her side.
“I just want to hold you.”
“……”
“Do you see me as a person who always makes advances?”
Eun Soo looked up at Hyuk Joo with a slightly blushed face.
Feeling as if she had become that person who always makes advances made her feel hot.
Hyuk Joo turned Eun Soo, who was lying on her back, towards him to face each other.
“I feel comfortable when I hold you like this.”
“……”
“You are the most comfortable person for me in the world.”
With the strength of Hyuk Joo’s arms tightly embracing her until her body felt weak, Eun Soo was pushed into his embrace without a single move.
Having to lay against the chest that was filled with another woman, not her, Eun Soo had to bite her lip tightly.
