Hyuk Joo’s call gave Eun Soo a moment of hesitation.
It would be better not to answer.
But somehow, her fingers had already pressed the call button. Remembering Young Ran’s words to act like nothing had happened, Eun Soo answered the phone as usual.
“Yes.”
— I was wondering what you’re doing.
“Just…I’m here.”
— Are you going out? It sounds like you’re in a car.
Hyuk Joo had realized that Eun Soo was in a car, even though it wasn’t moving fast.
She thought he wouldn’t know.
Biting her lip, Eun Soo had to gather her sinking voice to lie.
“I’m going to the art museum.”
— This late?
From his voice, it sounded like Hyuk Joo had checked the local time in Korea.
“It’s less crowded at this time.”
— I see.
“Isn’t it lunchtime for you, Hyuk Joo?”
— I’ve already eaten. Oh, my schedule has been moved up, so I think I can get in the day after tomorrow.
Eun Soo bit her lip at the news that he could arrive a day earlier than originally planned. Pressing down on her wincing nose with her palm, she lied again.
“Travel safely. I’ll be waiting.”
— …….
“Hyuk Joo?”
When there was no response, Eun Soo called for Hyuk Joo.
With a slight hint of laughter in his voice, Hyuk Joo replied.
— It’s strange to hear you say that you’ll wait.
“……”
Eun Soo slowly opened and closed her eyes.
Hyuk Joo’s face came to her mind as she closed her eyes. She wanted to see him.
The fact that she couldn’t see him anymore made her desire more desperate.
As it was the last time, and since they wouldn’t meet again, why not tell him her true feelings?
With her eyes opened, Eun Soo finally said what she truly wanted to say.
“I miss you.”
— Eun Soo.
“I think I’ll miss you a lot tomorrow too.”
And the day after, and the next day, and the day after that.
Were her words like a bomb?
Hyuk Joo was silent.
Eun Soo had thought this reaction would be natural, but when it became reality, her heart ached. Pressing her hand to her chest, Eun Soo spoke.
“You must be busy. I’ll hang up.”
— Eun Soo.
“…….”
— There are so many things I want to tell you.
“……I’ll hang up.”
Eun Soo hastily ended the call. The tears she had been holding back flowed out of her eyes in an instant. Her palms, which she held to her face, quickly became wet.
At the sound of Eun Soo crying, the driver, who had been quietly turning the wheel, clenched his teeth.
He deliberately turned up the volume of the music, allowing Eun Soo to cry to her heart’s content without worry.
The call had been disconnected a while ago. But Hyuk Joo could not put down his phone, which was still on his cheek.
“I miss you.”
At the memory of Eun Soo’s calm voice, his heart pounded rapidly.
Excitement, joy, happiness.
Was this the feeling of being submerged, overwhelmed by such emotions?
With a pleasant pressure that made him feel as though he needed to run to her right away, a smile escaped Hyuk Joo.
“Ha……”
Then he realized.
How long it had been since he had laughed out loud.
Putting down the phone he had in his hand, Hyuk Joo looked out the window of his hotel room.
The buildings and structures all built in similar styles, the cars standing in disarray. Except for the distant view of the sea, the scenery was not much different from Seoul.
Yet, why did this familiar landscape suddenly look different?
He recalled the days that seemed to be there and yet not there, always holding their place.
It was the same for Eun Soo, and for him as well.
Living together as husband and wife, they had only been faithful to the duties they had set for each other.
“What a fool…….”
Hyuk Joo let out a long sigh mixed with selfdeprecation.
There seemed to have been many opportunities for improvement. What would have happened if he had made an effort first at such times?
If only……
It wasn’t too late now. Nor could it be said it was late yet.
Realizing this, Hyuk Joo nodded.
When he returned to Korea to meet Eun Soo, he intended to say ‘I missed you’ first. And he would be the one to approach Eun Soo, who was trying to keep her distance from him.
“…….”
Turning away from the window, Hyuk Joo’s eyes landed on a box of chocolates on the table.
It had been left there as a welcome kit from the hotel.
Hyuk Joo picked up his phone again and called one of his entourage.
“Where is the nearest shopping mall here?”
Asking the name of the chocolate brand that Eun Soo had enjoyed before.
At the information that the chocolate of that brand was in a mall not far away, Hyuk Joo laughed.
— If you need it as a gift, I can get it for you.
“No. I want to buy it myself.”
It was natural to personally buy a gift for Eun Soo.
It was right to start with small things.
If he filled in the gaps that had widened little by little…….
Hyuk Joo shook his head, clenching his fist.
The warm touch of the ring on his fourth finger was felt in his palm.
“Empty Eun Soo’s things.”
At Young Ran’s sudden directive, the chief director’s eyes widened.
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?”
