Weekly Chapter 3/3

“Yoongyo said he would send an automobile to the coffee shop when it closes today.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know that.”

The anxiety that came over her overwhelmed her.

“He doesn’t even know my fate.”

“He knows everything.”

A shiver ran down her spine.

“See you later.”

She shook hands with the executives, who bowed. There was a banquet at the Hotel H.

She received some complimentary remarks.

She was nervous because it was her first meeting in a long time. She liked the wine she drank after the meal. Perhaps because she hadn’t consumed alcohol since Jooho was born.

Gwangmyeong opened the automobile’s back door. She got in with Yoongyo, and Cheolju was already inside.

“I feel nauseous.”

“You drank too much wine.”

“I was nervous.”

“Gwangmyeong, let’s go slowly.”

The black sedan drove slowly down the road. She felt calm because she was with three men who were adapted to the dark. She believed that he would always protect her.

She looked at Yoongyo’s hand. Although he was a man who performed difficult jobs, he had delicate hands. His nails were carefully trimmed.

“Why do you look hypnotized?”

A voice interrupted her thoughts. She raised her head startled.

“Shall we have another glass of wine?”

“I don’t want to anymore.”

She bit his hand. Although the teeth marks were clear, Yoongyo did not flinch.

“I want to eat tteokbokki.”

“All the ingredients are at home, just need to cook it.”

There had been leftover ingredients when she prepared tteokbokki for Jiho two days ago. Her son used to say what he wanted to eat. They enjoyed those dishes, too.

“Why do you keep staring at me?”

She averted her gaze from his face.

It looked like it would rain all day, but it was only cloudy. As she was looking at the black sky through the automobile window, she heard a loud noise.

Her body leaned forward, then back.

“What?”

Gwangmyeong shot a fierce look upward. An automobile collided with his automobile from the rear. She tried to lower the window to peek out, but Yoongyo restrained her hand.

A person who exited the automobile behind touched the window.

They did not leave the automobile quickly, and then the other vehicle blocked their path.

“Don’t you want to get out?”

The man’s voice became sharper. Then, some men holding iron bats exited the other automobile.
