Weekly Chapter 1/3

Jumi longed to hear Yoongyo say he wasn’t interested in another woman, but he remained silent, simply looking at her, which saddened her.

“There’s nothing you can do, so stop acting like a child.”

Yoongyo didn’t bother to explain.

“Why would you say that…?”

“If you wanted me to hug you, you should have initiated it.”

“Huh?”

Jumi clammed up at his insensitive words. Why was he so indifferent when she was so anxious? Why was he so calm when she was sad?

Whenever Yoongyo came home, he would take off her p#nt!es to torment her with his m#nh#od. He would f#ck her until his anger subsided. She cared for her womb, for even though there was a baby inside her, he behaved as if he didn’t care.

Choi Jumi felt suffocated.

“Does it bother you that I didn’t attend that meeting? That’s why I sent Heedong.”

“You’ve changed. Be honest, do you have another woman? Did you really go on a business trip two days ago? I don’t believe you…”

“Did you eat something spoiled? That’s odd.”

He seemed slightly irritated, his eyes cold.

His lips curved into a smile, dimples appearing on his cheeks. Jumi stared at him, finding him strangely attractive.

The atmosphere was serene. His dress shirt was partially unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up, and the scent of his perfume surrounded him. Jumi watched Yoongyo silently as he approached, feeling like she was in a dream.

“I thought you’d like it.”

“What’s that…?”

“You’re tired of your nagging husband, right?”

Jumi was shocked.

“But you get angry if I eat someone else’s food.”

He gently touched the collar of Jumi’s dress shirt, stroking the fabric before heading to the front door.

“Where are you going?”

“Didn’t you tell me not to touch your body?”

“No…”

“What I feel is beyond my control, but you say not to.”

She couldn’t understand the situation. Something was terribly wrong. She felt her world crumbling.

“I should stay in a hotel until things clear up.”

His tone was determined, as if he had already made up his mind. It seemed he planned to stay in a hotel until Jumi gave birth to their third child.

She felt a wave of desperation. She wanted to stop him, wanted him to stay. But the words wouldn’t come out, trapped in her throat by fear.

Would Yoongyo really leave?
