Chapter 120 - Dont be nosy in other people business (2/2)
”Yeon Seo,” He mumbles the name that he has sworn to never speak again. Moon Yeon Seo looks the same as if the time didn't touch her. Ironically, she's wearing a purple dress reaching her knees. She lifts her head slowly to meet the eyes of the man she has abandoned five years ago. She didn't think that she would run into him like this after a few days of her return.
His eyes turn cold. He ignores her and looks at the store girl with an unreadable face. His chilling voice scares the poor girl. ”Get me a purple scarf of any design.”
The store girl runs to get the scarf. Yeon Seo doesn't move from the spot. She peers at Young Hwa who has turned his back to her. The minutes feel like an eternity for Young Hwa when he feels her gaze on his back. Painful memories return in his mind as if someone has ripped open the stitches on an old wound. Even breathing the same air is difficult for him in the same space is difficult for him.
They have been in a relationship for a decade. She broke up suddenly and disappeared.
He is about to turn around and ask her the reason when he hears Kyuri's voice.
”Young Hwa.” She scurries toward him. ”My mother called and asked me if I ran away on a honeymoon with you. We have been out for hours. Let's go home first.”
Right! Young Hwa feels relieved after seeing her. Yeon Seo is the past. Kyuri is his present. This is the woman who has reawakened his heart again. It doesn't matter if Yeon Seo is back. Kyuri is the woman he married today. It's their day one. He can't ruin it because of a ghost from the past.
”Sir, I brought the scarves.” The girl returns with a number of purple scares of the highest quality.
”Pack them all,” He tells her coolly.
”Why waste money?” Kyuri frowns at him and picks one randomly. ”This one is good enough. I am never sending you for shopping after our wedding. You might end up buying everything because you can't choose.”
Yeon Seo covers her mouth to stifle a cry. Both Kyuri and Young Hwa hear it. Kyuri looks at her with concern when she sees her crying silently. ”Are you okay, lady?”
Yeon Seo turns her back to them. Young Hwa takes the scarf from Kyuri's hand and wraps it around her neck. ”Don't be nosy in other people business and get late. Little Hae is waiting.”
”We are late because of you.” Kyuri peeks at the woman once before following Young Hwa. Something didn't feel right. She's sure that she saw that woman gazing at Young Hwa as if she knew him. The air also felt somewhat vague before she came. A woman from his past?
She releases her breath. The present is the only thing that matters.
