Chapter 134 - Can you really say (1/2)

He knocks the door. The person he still wants to see is Kyuri.

”Not home?” He sighs. Only her mother is at home. Little Hae went out with her grandfather.

”Young Hwa, stay. She will come back soon,” Her mother tells him.

He should wait, but he feels restless. He goes to her room and lays down on her bed, thinking. It's hurting his head. He closes his eyes and takes long breaths to calm down, still thinking about Yeon Seo.

He opens his eyes when he hears the sound of the door opening. Kyuri walks in. Seeing her clears away all the uncertainties in his mind. He smiles at her. ”Welcome home.”

She gives him a quiet nod. ”I was going to call you after coming home. You are already here.”

She didn't call him after he left yesterday. He wants to tell her about Jae Kyung's mother, but he ends up asking her, ”Wife, did you think about what I said yesterday?”

”I did.” Something about her eyes is disturbing him. She sits beside him. ”I can't agree.

”Kyuri.” His ċhėst feels tight to hear those words. Her voice is unwavering, unlike his heart. ”Why can't you?”

”It's impossible to force love.” She stares at him with a smile. ”Do you still not understand the meaning? I am not least bothered about Yeon Seo and you. You are also trying hard to love me. Young Hwa, I thought a lot. That day, you wanted to find a reason to live. You made me and Little Hae your reason. Yeon Seo was gone and someone else needed to be there. We like each other, but we are still forcing ourselves to love each other. If it was not like that, would you feel pain when you saw Yeon Seo in the mall that day?”

”I already told you. It was just...” Young Hwa tries to defend himself. There was nothing.

”Can you really say for 100% that you don't feel anything for Yeon Seo?”

Hearing her question, Young Hwa becomes quiet. If Yeon Seo had plotted with Jae Kyung, there was still a reason to hate that woman. If she had left him for selfish reasons, he could still forget everything.
