After the funeral, Eun Soo had returned home and slept continuously.
Apart from sleeping, she did nothing.
“Eun Soo.”
“……”
Hyuk Joo looked at Eun Soo, who gave no response, with pity in his eyes as he took off his suit jacket.
He had postponed his Dubai business trip to attend his motherinlaw’s funeral and was scheduled to leave late this afternoon by plane.
Before heading to the airport, Hyuk Joo stopped by the house.
‘She threw up again.’
The housekeeper told him that Eun Soo spat out the food as soon as she put a spoonful in her mouth.
Throughout the funeral, Eun Soo couldn’t swallow anything. Even when a meal that wasn’t heavy was prepared for her.
Eun Soo’s body seemed instinctively to reject food.
Seeing the dark circles under Eun Soo’s eyes from not eating properly, Hyuk Joo’s face turned pale.
If she was in good health, Hyuk Joo had planned to take Eun Soo on the business trip with him.
He thought that spending a few days in a city bathed in the hot sun might alleviate her gloomy mood a bit. But with Eun Soo’s current condition, even getting on a plane was a stretch.
“Eun Soo.”
When he called her name again, Eun Soo slowly opened her eyes. Her long, black eyelashes that adorned her tired eyes trembled faintly.
Upon seeing Hyuk Joo’s face, Eun Soo slowly rose from the bed.
“I have to go to the airport now.”
“……”
Eun Soo silently nodded her head.
“If eating is hard, at least get an IV.”
“……I will.”
“I will take a vacation when I return from the business trip.”
“Okay.”
At Eun Soo’s weak words, Hyuk Joo embraced her thin body. Her frail body, fragile as if it would shatter, felt even thinner than yesterday.
Eun Soo’s body was light, as if a wind could carry her away at any moment.
Even while holding her like this.
Hyuk Joo held her tighter.
It felt as if, if he didn’t hold her like this, Eun Soo might disappear somewhere, attaching wings made of feather one by one.
Eun Soo’s mother had been like a weight that kept her by her side. It was because of that weight Eun Soo didn’t leave her side.
But now, without that weight, Hyuk Joo was scared that Eun Soo might leave him behind.
Eun Soo slowly rose from the bed.
How long had she slept?
After a brief exchange with Hyuk Joo, who said he was leaving for a business trip, she had slept continuously without even having dinner.
Looking at the sunlight coming in through the gap in the curtain covering the window, it seemed to be daytime.
Eun Soo picked up her phone with her weak hand to check the time.
It was a little past 10 in the morning.
A message appeared asking if she had eaten, if she was up. The sender was Hyuk Joo.
Eun Soo, who checked the message with an indifferent gaze, put her phone down.
“Only now……”
A hollow laugh slipped through her lips.
Hyuk Joo’s message, filled with worry, felt hypocritical to her.
Entering the bathroom, Eun Soo looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Three days had passed since her mother’s funeral.
After the funeral and returning from the cemetery, Eun Soo had mostly slept. She lacked the energy to get up, and even the thought of doing something didn’t come to mind.
And.
She wanted to dream again of holding hands with her mother and walking, like the day her mother left.
“I need to let go…… Mom, it seems I’m still far off.”
Eun Soo’s shoulders sagged. Her eyelids started to heat up, and soon tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.
She covered her face with her hands and cried again for a long while.
She knew she had to stop now, this wasn’t the image her mother would have wanted for her, but it didn’t go as she wished.
Having never lived a life without her mother since she was born, Eun Soo felt lost.
There had always been the existence called ‘mother’ by her side.
There were times when she thought something might go wrong with her mother, but she had never thought about what to do if such a thing happened.
It felt as if she were in the middle of a dark sea, not knowing which way was which.
“Now, how should I live?”
Eun Soo’s gaze, clutching the sink and shaking her shoulders, went towards her stomach.
“Ah……”
The color drained from her face in an instant.
Looking at her belly with trembling eyes, Eun Soo realized she hadn’t properly cared for her child for the past few days.
She had neglected her role as a mother, caught up in the sorrow of losing her own mother.
“I’m sorry.”
Feeling guilty, as if she had turned her back on her child because she was having a hard time, Eun Soo felt remorseful.
She knew she shouldn’t be like this.
Eun Soo bit her dry lips.
What she had left now was just her child.
The child was the one she had to protect in this world filled with wounds.
Eun Soo turned the faucet, turned on the water, and washed her face clean.
Feeling it was not enough, she took off her clothes and went into the shower booth. Like a person with important work ahead, she carefully washed her body.
After drying herself, Eun Soo went to the dressing room and picked out clothes to wear.

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.]
