Chapter 281 – Siyoon Choi (1)
Early lunch.
I am now at a restaurant with my husband.
“Oh… Long time no see here.”
Taeho smiles and eats the fried shrimp with chopsticks.
Because of my husband’s personality, I don’t like things that are burdensome, so I chose a family restaurant nearby. She had brought Taeho often in the past… But nothing has changed since then. It was crowded with so many people around. The child called her nanny to take care of her for a while.
That day, her husband came home right away after playing with the damn Yerin Han. The reason was simple.
‘The first thing we found was our Younha…’
Our daughter
Worried about her daughter, she threw everything away and ran home. Realizing that, she somehow feels like things will work out. Because my husband was stronger than I imagined. If fatherly love is strong, doesn’t it mean that he values his wife as much?
“Come on, stop here.”
“…Hi-Hi.”
My husband hands me food.
At times like this, I always laugh like a child. I felt my husband’s deep love, and the corners of my mouth that went up didn’t go down, like proof that his love was still toward me.
Still, I have to say what I have to say.
“So, what’s wrong with eating out all of a sudden? You haven’t been able to go out often because of work lately.”
“I just… Have something to say, so I’m here to do it.”
Take the atmosphere seriously. My husband sees my expression and blinks his eyes. Now it’s time to talk seriously. She looks at her husband, suppressing the resentment that rises little by little like a vine.
“…I heard you’re dating Han Ye-rin these days?”
“…”
The husband’s expression hardened in an instant. At the same time, her eyes sink and sharpen.
“Why is that?”
“Tae-ho, you’re not asking because you don’t know, right? You promised not to do this.”
“…What?”
I can’t go out strong.
As usual, the lips move first. The bright and happy atmosphere had long since cooled. A blood vessel slightly protrudes from the forehead at the husband’s unexpectedly bouncing attitude.
Takes a picture out of her pocket and shows it in front of her husband.
“Yesterday… I took this picture on the way back. What is this? Explain it.”
“…”
Her husband’s eyebrows twitch.
It was obviously bewildering. As always, she was pushing her husband, but strangely she didn’t feel pushed. He just glared at me slightly as if he was saying ‘what are you doing now’.
“…Friend.”
“Huh?”
“It’s a friend. We met after a long time and came to play together.”
Gravely
My husband sighs and says. I have a feeling that something is wrong here.
Things didn’t go well.
My husband, who thought he would accept my request and nod his head saying he knew it, was now giggling. He was sitting on the table with his head upright, looking down at the photograph.
A cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
“…So? Is that the end?”
Make eye contact.
My husband had just as stubborn eyes as I did. And these eyes… They were Taeho’s childhood friends for 10 years, never seen before – completely new eyes. Realizing that, my pupils shake.
…What?
“I told you. Friends.”
“The two of them are too close together. This… It’s not just this. Here, here too. Look.”
He pulls a few more pictures out of his pocket. Han Ye-rin, clinging to me to the point of being vulgar, looked up at my husband and smiled. Just looking at it, it looks like a dog with her belly twisted and her intestines torn apart, but they are all laid out on the table.
“…”
“Are you really friends? You’re too close, Taeho.
“You want me to leave?”
Eyes meet.
A surprisingly frozen gaze turns to me. Her husband was holding back now. Like me, he was holding back his anger and irritation tightly in his chest. Why? Why? It didn’t take long to realize why.
Because my husband told me through his mouth.
“Also?”
I’m startled and my shoulders tremble. Unexpectedly, the cold voice is breathless and choking.
“Are you going to take it off like this again? Like last time?”
“Yes?”
The husband’s voice sinks low.
“It’s always been like this, Seoha. You say you love me, but you keep trying to control me if I don’t meet your standards. Is this also the case? You’re telling me to stop dating because you don’t like it.”
“Oh, no, it’s Taeho, that’s what it says-“
“Right.”
Her husband was now ‘angry’. For 10 years, no, after marriage, for 13 years, my husband has never been angry. But now my husband…
He suppressed his anger and glared at me. Auddeuk – The sound of grinding is eaten up by the bustling surroundings.
Lips tremble.
Horror, fear, and vague regrets wash in like a tide. With each word spoken by her husband, her blood cools and her lips turn blue. My husband was already fed up.
To this situation I created.
“You know, I don’t have any friends.”
Have no friends
Those words become daggers and pierce her chest. I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t get it out of my mouth. He was inexcusable. I didn’t deserve it. Because the person who made it is me.
“I don’t have friends with balls, let alone female friends. Back when I was in middle school, it was like that too. Throughout my grade, if someone was in the same class next to me, I would kick them out… So when I first entered the academy, I didn’t know how to make friends. It was out of the way. Who do you think this is because of?”
“…”
“Yeah, I’ll extenuate the situation to a certain extent. I didn’t even make time to make friends because my goal of getting revenge was eaten up. “
Before I knew it, I was sitting straight.
You get the feeling of being cut off from the noisy surroundings and reality. With her head down, only the sound of her husband’s words stuck in her ears. I was so nervous that I couldn’t even swallow my saliva properly.
I’m afraid the relationship so far will be broken.
I was seized with extreme fear. Even if you regret it like crazy, the past doesn’t come back. Afterwards, I knew everything my husband was going to say, but I didn’t have the option of covering my ears.
Because my hands didn’t move.
“I have the right to choose my own fate.”
Her husband’s lips quiver.
“You can’t be a loner forever. You can’t live and die without a friend playing around in your self-satisfaction… Huh?”
Eyes meet. The husband’s expression was mixed with many emotions.
Embarrassment, anxiety, resentment, sadness, absurdity. No good feelings were mixed.
“I want to quit too. I want to make some friends too.”
“That, that’s…”
“We got married. Didn’t we get married to erase that anxiety? But now, this… Is… Huh?”
Her husband vents his resentment and forgets what he said, then puts on a puzzled expression. He blinks his eyes and looks behind me.
“…?”
Following her husband’s gaze, there was.
There was a golden sun.
No, should I call this gyaru? She was light-tanned, gorgeous blonde, wearing no makeup, but instead wearing a short, comfortable outfit… A very bad-looking woman was looking at her cell phone with a shy smile.
“…Kuhmm. Uh, anyway.”
In the blink of an eye, the gyaru hurries to the bathroom.
The husband’s eyes become serious again. As soon as the relaxed atmosphere tightened again, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Who is it? No, it’s not the time to worry about that.
“Now… Let it go. We’re even married now.”
Her husband wiggles her ass in pain.
Her face flushed again and seemed to be holding back the sadness. Little by little, I get short of breath, and beads of perspiration form on my forehead. Seeing that makes her heart melt.
“Ah, okay… Honey. That’s Taeho… Mi-sorry…”
“…”
When she sees her husband suffering, she shrinks. It was the first time my husband was angry, and anyway, it was the first time for everything, so I don’t know anything. Still, I did know one thing.
That my husband had accepted my insistence and endured it.
“I won’t do that next time…”
“…Huh.”
Only then
My husband looks at me and smiles. My expression brightens at the thought that she has returned to normal. The heart that was standing in fear, anxiety, and remorse melts. Right now, I was full of regret.
…Although the uneasiness was still present.
It was fine now. It will be difficult to escape from this shock for a while. He runs his hand over his chest to calm his thumping heart. As the tension is released, the muscles all over the body sag.
“…Ah, no. I’m sorry for being harsh.”
“I’m more sorry honey… I’m sorry…”
When her husband makes an apologetic expression, she shakes his hand.
“…”
“…”
As the situation ended, both of them lowered their heads in embarrassment and looked down at the plate. It was the awkwardness I felt after a long time in a couple relationship. All the food was already cold and soggy. My husband wiggles his legs and shyly avoids his gaze.
My husband is biting his chopsticks and shaking his legs anxiously.
“Hey, honey…”
“Huh?”
For a moment, the husband is embarrassed and startled. He awkwardly raises the corners of his mouth with a distraught look on his face. He opens his mouth, which had been kept shut in an embarrassing situation.
“Uh, where does it hurt? Shall we go to the hospital together later?”
“No… That, that’s not it. It’s just that I feel bad…”
“Well, then I have to go to the bathroom…! Go, shall we go together?”
“Oh, no, it’s okay. I’ll go alone. Hey, I’m waiting for you here.”
“Uh, uh…”
They have very awkward conversations. Check that the expression turns red in real time. My husband hurriedly gets up from his seat and walks into the bathroom. He cools his face with his hand fan in the sweltering heat.
“Haha…”
Really.
It will take some time before things go back to normal.

I do not know.
Me too.
I don’t know why. I was just more excited than usual… And pushed Seoha a little harder.
Fear of being controlled again, fear of being cut off again – thoughts like this run wild in my head. When her wife asked her to stay away from him again… She was so ‘angry’ that she thought it was too bad even thinking about it herself.
I do not know.
I don’t know anymore Such thoughts travel up the spine and up to the creases of the brain. Strangely angry. I apologized at the end, but it was true that I burst into resentment. That confused me several times more than usual.
Why do you like Han Ye-rin?
Is that why you’re angry when I tell you to leave? No, I don’t know about other girls, but I can’t help but like Han Ye-rin. The sediment accumulated over the years is by no means light. But still…
You can’t do that.
The body reacted first.
You can’t miss it. How am I going to do this again, stop doing this again. Like this… Stop layering your bodies like this, and throw away the woman you can do with yourself. Again, again…!
Only with my boring wife-
Rattle.
The door to the men’s bathroom opens.
Inside, a familiar, unforgettable person was waiting for me.
“Sir, I’ve been waiting for you.”
Siyun Choi.
She smiles, grabs my wrist, and drags her into the bathroom.
I am.
Couldn’t resist.
