Yeonju looked at Jinwook with trembling eyes.
Everything seemed to come to a halt as if time had frozen. The surrounding noise disappeared, and nothing else was visible except him.
How could he be here?
How did he come all the way here…
Instead of the questions she wanted to ask, only a heavy breath escaped her lips.
Jinwook, facing Yeonju, spoke as she, still in shock, managed to open her mouth.
“It’s been a while, but you don’t seem pleased to see me.”
His dark and intense eyes stared at Yeonju. His gaze was unreadable. It seemed intense, tender, angry, and sad all at once.
Yeonju, still trying to calm her wildly pounding heart, finally spoke.
“Could it be… you came to see me?”
She hoped it wasn’t true. She would have preferred if he came here for some other reason and coincidentally ran into her.
With a faint chuckle and a small sigh, Jinwook said, “Would I have come all the way here just to play?”
“How… How did you come all the way here…”
Her words didn’t come out smoothly, frozen as if her lips were sealed.
She never expected Jinwook to come looking for her. Even if they met, she never thought it would happen so quickly. She had hidden herself as best she could to make sure he couldn’t find her. How…
Jinwook spoke.
“At first, I searched all of Austria. But your name didn’t come up. Then, since there was no record of you taking a plane, I wondered if you were in Germany, so I searched there. After that, Switzerland, then Paris. I searched everywhere you could possibly be.”
“…”
“Then, I found out that you applied for the Italian national certification exam recently, and I also learned that you’re working at this guide company.”
Having heard the story, Yeonju seemed to grasp the whole situation.
“Then, the guest who applied under the name James…”
“That’s right. I applied when I came here.”
Yeonju had only found out yesterday which company she worked for as a guide. After that, Jinwook had immediately gone to the airport and boarded the earliest flight to Italy.
Without explaining anything to his family, he had impulsively come here. He came with just one purpose in mind.
And now, he finally met Yeonju.
His dearly missed wife, Yeonju. He finally saw her face.
“I thought I would find you within a week, but I didn’t expect it to take this long.”
After Yeonju disappeared, he realized how utterly incapable he was. He was a fool who couldn’t even guess where his wife had gone.
Jinwook briefly diverted his gaze to the surrounding scenery.
“It’s a nice place.”
It was a city he had thought would be a good place to visit together. It was a beautiful city with historic sites at every step and filled with art and romance. But Yeonju could no longer stay here alone.
“You must have had a good time sightseeing for three months.”
At this point, she had enough rest. Even if not, there was no other alternative.
The day she was here felt like a year to me. I couldn’t wait any longer.
Tenderness filled Jinwook’s eyes as he gazed at Yeonju.
“Yeonju.”
The words he wanted to say when meeting her didn’t come to mind.
He didn’t want to inquire why she left, why there was no contact, or spill out how difficult and painful it had been during that time.
No grand or sweet words were needed.
What he wanted from Yeonju now was only one thing.
“Let’s go back now.”
His calm voice carried through the wind to reach her. Yeonju’s eyes shook violently.
Jinwook had indeed come all the way here to take her back.
Unbelievable, but it was reality, and he had to shatter this reality.
Yeonju asked hesitantly, her lips trembling, “I don’t want to.”
It was a place she had just left, and there was no reason to go back.
“I’m not going back.”
“…”
“It wasn’t an impulsive decision. I don’t want to go back there again.”
Yeonju, making an effort to maintain eye contact, told him, “I don’t have any desire to live with you again.”
Jinwook’s eyes sank at her words. Despite his momentarily pained expression, Yeonju firmly continued.
“Even if you force me to go back, I’ll eventually leave again.”
“…”
“So let’s go back.”
Yeonju stared at him more intensely.
“Go back and live your life.”
Jinwook let out a disappointed laugh at Yeonju’s words. His eyes, filled with a bitter smile, turned poignant.
“If I could live my life, I wouldn’t have come here.”
“…”
“I came because I can’t live like this.”
His uttered voice grew thicker.
“Nothing has been in my hands since you disappeared. I couldn’t work, couldn’t eat, and spent sleepless nights with open eyes for days.”
His intensified voice echoed with desperation.
“It didn’t feel like living.”
Every day was painful and chaotic.
“That’s why, like a madman, I searched for you and came all the way here.”
After all that suffering, now he finally met her, only to be told to go back.
To go back and repeat that lonely and dreadful life…
It was absolutely impossible. Whatever she said, it was an impossible task for him.
Jinwook looked at Yeonju with a strong gaze and said, “To you, I may be finished, but to me, Kang Yeonju is still my wife.”
“…”
