Hyun Seo couldn’t help but laugh hollowly. It was always like this. If she didn’t like something, she would scream and throw things.
At least Chairman Chae had threatened to take away even her card if she broke any more of the Chairman’s collectibles, so she couldn’t throw anything in the living room.
Sigh… My child, I’m sorry for showing you this. I’ll only show you beautiful things soon.
“If you don’t have cash, go and pay with a card and come back, right now. If Joo Hyuk’s car gets canceled, will you take responsibility?”
It was pathetic and infuriating. But Young Suk’s behavior was not new. It seemed her bad habits had worsened because she had been allowed to get away with such nonsense as if it was the norm.
“Mother, tell my husband to handle his own affairs. Do Ha told me not to give him money anymore.”
“……What?”
Hyun Seo used his eldest son Do Ha as an excuse to Young Suk. For some unknown reason, Do Ha was cold towards his mother Young Suk.
“That, that guy too……”
When they were newlyweds, Hyun Seo had asked Do Ha to be a little warmer towards his mother, but Do Ha didn’t even like to talk with Young Suk.
Young Suk also always communicated through Hyun Seo, who was easier to talk to, instead of her son Do Ha, whenever something difficult happened.
“Daughterinlaw from Seo San! What are you looking at? Clean up the broken cup.”
Having lost her words when Hyun Seo used Do Ha as a shield, Young Suk was nagging at innocent people.
In the end, Hyun Seo gave up on heading to the kitchen. He spat out in a weary tone towards the lady from Seo San who was cleaning up the broken coffee cup.
“Auntie, please prepare dinner yourself, I will go out for a while.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Hey! You’re going out without even preparing dinner?”
Before she could quench her anger, Hyun Seo’s sudden action caused Young Suk to squint even more.
“I’m going out to eat. Please have dinner without me tonight.”
“What? You’re going out? It’s almost time for the Chairman to come, where do you think you’re going?”
Thanks to Hyun Seo’s exceptional cooking skills, Young Suk enjoyed meal times provided by Hyun Seo. It had become an everyday routine.
She seemed to have many complaints after being cooped up in the room for two days, claiming to be sick.
“Mother, I haven’t missed preparing dinner in my five years of married life. During that time, I couldn’t even go out as I pleased.”
“What, what?”
“Even the day after Seo Ha’s funeral, I made the pancake you wanted to eat, mother. Please let me go out just once.”
“Ah, no, what is she saying now? She’s driving me crazy. Who’s tying you down?”
Perhaps it was so unusual for her gentle eldest daughterinlaw to act like this. Young Suk stuttered, her face turning red and pale.
“Seo San’s daughterinlaw, what is she saying?”
Regardless, Hyun Seo turned away from Young Suk and Seo San’s daughterinlaw, who looked flustered.
She quickly gathered her wallet, wanting to go outside as soon as possible, and left the house.
She had been almost starving all day yesterday. Today, while wondering what she should eat, her mother’s kimchi stew suddenly came to mind.
Although her mother was no longer around, there was a restaurant in the neighborhood where her mother used to live, run by an auntie whose cooking was similar to her mother’s. She decided she had to go there and eat.
By now, the house must have been in chaos. Young Suk might have laid down with her head wrapped up.
It would have been impossible for her old self. She was worried about what would happen when she returned home and her heart was pounding, but she also felt a sense of exhilaration.
It was always difficult with the inlaws, but it was easier than she thought to just let loose. Having tried it, she wondered why she hadn’t been able to say what she wanted to earlier.
In front of people who were not even humanlike.
Do Ha, who was subtly bothered by his wife’s call, abruptly left his work and hurried home early.
Once he got home, he didn’t see Hyun Seo either downstairs or upstairs. He only encountered Seo San’s daughterinlaw and greeted her.
“You’re home?”
“Didn’t Hyun Seo come down?”
Seo San’s daughterinlaw bowed her head and spoke as if she were flustered.
“The younger madam isn’t here. She went out a while ago.”
Hyun Seo, his wife, had never missed preparing dinner since their marriage. She was always personally preparing it, so much so that it would have been foolish to tell her not to. But she was not there.
There must have been something happening.
“Did something happen?”
Seo San’s daughterinlaw glanced uncomfortably towards Young Suk’s room and changed the subject.
“Well… Please console the older madam.”
Do Ha, who was watching Seo San’s daughterinlaw disappear into the kitchen, glanced at the master bedroom where Young Suk was.
Console?
He had an odd feeling. He didn’t know what was going on, but he didn’t have a good feeling.
Without even changing his clothes, Do Ha went back out to the garden.
He felt that his wife wouldn’t have gone far, and somehow, he felt like he would meet her soon if he waited here.
What on earth had happened?
More than 30 minutes had passed as he lingered on the lawn in the garden. Do Ha, who was waiting indefinitely, looked at his wristwatch.
Although it wasn’t that late, he felt strangely parched. Was it because of her delicate tone saying they should talk after he came home from work?
Just as he was about to dial her number with his phone due to the unknown anxiety, the front gate opened and Hyun Seo came in.
“Where have you been?”
Seeing his wife appear in front of him, he felt more relieved than he thought. Still, perhaps because he had been anxious, his words came out rather brusquely.
“You’re home earlier than I thought. Did you just get off work?”
Hyun Seo hesitated at the sight of Do Ha standing in the garden.
“No, I’ve been here for a while. I was waiting for you.”
At his unexpected reply, Hyun Seo was momentarily speechless. She had thought they naturally bumped into each other on the way home from work.
Had there ever been a time when he had waited for me in all my life? It had always been my lot to wait.
He stood there, immaculately. Suddenly, he looked stunning, like a model in a photoshoot.
The fact that Do Ha, who looked like a painting, was standing in the garden waiting for me suddenly felt awkward.
“What’s going on, leaving the house empty at this late hour?”
“I just wanted to go out.”
“That’s unlike you.”
“What kind of image do you have of me, then?”
At Hyun Seo’s sharp response, Do Ha shut his mouth. He seemed like someone who wanted to avoid a fight.
But when the conversation was cut off like this, Hyun Seo felt a sense of melancholy.
“Let’s go inside. I have something important to say.”

really disliked him
