Weekly Chapter 2/3

Jumi chuckled secretly as she peeled peaches. Yoongyo was putting Jiho’s pajamas on. Interestingly, the child fell asleep easily in Yoongyo’s arms. The child was looking for his father before going to bed, but Jumi didn’t hate it when that happened.

While she usually managed everything on her own, Yoongyo stepped in to assist her when things got tough. Yoongyo had really learned a lot because the child did not complain. He knew how to calm the child when he cried.

He gently stroked the sleeping child’s back with his large hand.

“If he wakes up crying, maybe something’s on his b#tt#m.”

“A tail?”

“No, I mean poop.”

“Oh.”

When Jumi bit into a peach, he looked at his watch. Soon he would have to leave.

She wished she could stay home tonight.

It was pretty normal for him to head out after getting a late-night call. Occasionally, he would return with bloodstains. But he never said anything, so she could only guess. He didn’t seem to consider his wife’s heart.

After he put Jiho to bed, he went out to the drawing room where she was. She thought he would say something to her before he left, but he walked toward the entrance in silence.

Even in a rush, he never forgot to kiss her. She hoped it wasn’t a dangerous situation, she didn’t want to visit him in the hospital again….

“…Yoongyo.”

Jumi had catastrophic thoughts.

She stood up with a pale face. Then she blocked his way.

“Are you late today?”

“Don’t wait for me.”

She watched uneasily as he put on his shoes. He had always assured her that nothing dangerous would happen, but today he strangely avoided the answer.

She feared he was entangled in a political struggle. Unsure of what to say, she noticed Yoongyo had already put on his shoes but seemed to be waiting for Jumi to speak.

She moved a little closer to him.

“I can’t lose my husband. It’s a breach of our agreement.”

“Wait, we made an agreement?”

“You must protect us.”

Jumi, who had been staring at his footwear, finally raised her head. He still had his hands stuffed in his pants pockets.

“Is this really a dangerous situation?”

“……”

“Why can’t you answer…?”

Her heart dropped. Jumi was afraid he would disappear. She wrapped her arms around Yoongyo’s waist.

“Don’t worry. I’ll ask Cheolju to protect you when I’m gone.”

“No! That’s different. You said you would protect me. You’re not going anywhere today.”
