When Eun Soo came out of the bathroom, Hyuk Joo was checking his watch. Seeing this, Eun Soo looked at the digital clock on the bedside table.
It was just past 7 o’clock.
Given his check on the time, it seemed like he might have a breakfast meeting.
Was he here to confirm her decision from the previous night when she had asked to break up, or was he here to inform her about Seo Yoon Ji’s condition?
“Mr. Hyuk Joo.”
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
“……A moment won’t be enough.”
Eun Soo spoke with a faint smile.
Her story couldn’t be finished in a brief moment. She had a lot to say to him.
She had to ask for forgiveness for hiding the fact that she was in pain.
“Let’s talk after work.”
“……”
“Will you be very late today? If so, just let me know whenever you have time. It’s okay even if it’s during a meeting.”
Hyuk Joo nodded, looking at Eun Soo’s face. Then, as he was walking out of the hospital room, his steps suddenly halted.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Manager Song, it’s me.”
He seemed to be confirming his schedule with his secretary.
“Cancel the breakfast meeting. I’ve suddenly got something to do. I might be late to work, so cancel the morning meeting as well.”
Eun Soo’s eyes widened in surprise as she watched Hyuk Joo cancel his fixed schedule.
He clearly wanted to sort out this unstable relationship as soon as possible.
It was right to end it if he wanted to. But why did her heart feel so heavy?
Eun Soo bit her dry lips. Her lips, which had become chapped overnight, stung where saliva had touched.
Knock, knock, knock.
With the sound of knocking, the door opened, and a nurse came in. The nurse, taken aback by the sight of the two people standing there, greeted them and checked on Eun Soo’s mother’s condition.
As the nurse who finished her task turned to leave, Hyuk Joo spoke.
“Is there an empty room available?”
“Yes.”
“Please reserve it under my wife’s name and prepare an IV bag.”
“Understood.”
After the nurse left, Hyuk Joo grabbed Eun Soo’s hand. And together, they left the hospital room.
The nurse had pointed to a room right next to Eun Soo’s mother’s room earlier.
“You can use this one.”
“Yes.”
Hyuk Joo opened the door to the hospital room that the nurse had pointed to and stepped inside.
The room, perhaps vacant for a long time, felt devoid of even the smallest warmth. Perhaps it was Eun Soo’s nervousness that made it feel so.
“Get the IV and rest a bit.”
“……”
“While you’re getting the IV, you can talk to me about whatever you want.”
“I don’t want to get the IV.”
Eun Soo spoke with determination.
She suddenly thought that even though it was a nutritional supplement, she should not carelessly get an IV for the sake of her child.
“Your face looks terrible right now.”
“……I’ll be fine after some rest.”
“You almost fainted.”
It was as if Hyuk Joo had seen her earlier when she had felt dizzy and staggered.
“I just felt a bit dizzy for a moment.”
“That’s what I mean.”
“……”
“Why are you being so stubborn when there’s no reason for you not to get the IV?”
Hyuk Joo’s forehead was flushed as he asked in a heated voice. He seemed angry that Eun Soo, who until now had obediently followed his words, was not doing so.
Perhaps he had been angry since last night.
It was just like when Eun Soo had unilaterally opposed his decision not to divorce.
Perhaps he believed that it should be Moon Hyuk Joo, not Oh Eun Soo, who should utter the words ‘let’s break up’.
In the midst of a brief silence, someone knocked on the door of the hospital room.
She planned to say she would get the IV later when the nurse came in. But the person who opened the door and came in was Hwang In Woo.
He was holding an IV bag and a needle in his hand.
“Hello.”
At In Woo’s greeting, Hyuk Joo nodded his head without a word. In Woo, who passed by Hyuk Joo, looked at Eun Soo and smiled.
“The patient should be lying in bed. Why are you standing?”
“……”
“Lie down. You need to lie down to get the IV.”
Eun Soo locked eyes with In Woo, who was urging her.
Ridiculously, the moment she saw his face, Eun Soo felt relieved. He knew about her pregnancy, so he must have brought a prescription that would not harm the child.
It’s okay.
With eyes that seemed to say those words, Eun Soo climbed onto the bed and rolled up her sleeve.
Even though she maintained a stoic face, the sight of the needle, which she had been pricked with countless times as a child, brought back her old fear.
They said that any bad memory would disappear without a trace over time, but the pain caused by the sharp needle was still vivid to Eun Soo.
“It will sting.”
“……”
“Do I need to give you a doll like when you were a child?”
Eun Soo chuckled at In Woo’s lighthearted joke, which seemed to be an attempt to ease the tension. Soon, she felt a sting and the cold fluid flowed into her veins.
“If you need anything, press this.”
In Woo pointed to the button attached to the head of the bed. Then, with a stern expression, he glanced at Hyuk Joo.
Without a word, In Woo turned and left the room. All the while, Eun Soo’s gaze was fixed on the needle piercing her arm.
She was the one who had to start the conversation. But her lips remained sealed, as she was still unsure what to start with, her mind not yet in order.
“About what we talked about yesterday.”
Eun Soo barely opened her mouth.
“I want to stop.”
“Do you mean you want a divorce?”
“……”
Eun Soo slowly nodded her head.
Her heart stung at the sight of Hyuk Joo uttering the word divorce so easily. However, she thought that she should not reveal her emotions here, so she tried to be as calm as possible.
“What’s the reason?”
“……”
“Do you not need me anymore?”
Hyuk Joo pulled a chair that was on one side and placed it next to the bed. Only after sitting down did he level with Eun Soo.
He looked at Eun Soo, who had her hands folded as if she were a criminal.
Her appearance, sitting there with a frail, bloodless face overnight, was unmistakably that of a patient.
He had been angry for a moment, wondering if such a patient had spent the night awake, hunched over, planning to care for someone else.
And that anger was still not gone.
Hyuk Joo carefully thought about where the hot anger boiling in his chest had started.
It had been since yesterday.
When he heard from the secretary that Eun Soo was out of contact, and confirmed that she was not in the hospital room where he assumed she would be. When he met Eun Soo in the hospital room and she, with her pale face, was the first to mention breaking up as if nothing had happened.
When he quickly went to see another woman…, pushing himself away at the call from Seo Yeon Ji.
It was a rage that built up over several moments.
Holding back his explosive emotions, Hyuk Joo managed to speak.
“Did you think you could get by now without my help after seeing the hospital bill?”
As he spat out the words, Hyuk Joo immediately regretted it.
However, seeing Eun Soo’s complexion turn pale, Hyuk Joo ended up lashing out more words.
“You said it yourself. You said you’re with me because of the money.”
He had never felt so angry before. Therefore, Hyuk Joo vented his harsh words, using the excuse of what Eun Soo had said to him in the past.
Because if he didn’t do this, he felt like he would go crazy.
Because it seemed like Eun Soo was really going to break up with him.
