Weekly Chapter 3/3

Once their conversation ended, Jumi wrapped up her work preparations. While in the drawing room, she pondered whether to stay at home. Eventually, she made her way to the room where he was. Yoongyo emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel.

“Is it itchy here…?”

Before he could reach out, she had already left the house.

Returning home, Jumi was happy to see that Yoongyo had come back earlier than usual.

There was an upcoming reunion with her old college friends, and everyone would bring their partners, so Jumi planned to go with her husband.

She was thrilled that Yoongyo agreed to join her. Jumi, having prepared dinner for the kids while humming a tune, walked into the studio carrying a tray.

As the man calmly looked through some documents, his phone started vibrating, and his expression darkened.

Jumi approached him, and Yoongyo put the phone down.

“I brought you some coffee and madeleines. Are you busy?”

Yoongyo, who slipped her hand inside her skirt, caressed her buttocks. Then he rubbed her panties. But she kept her eyes fixed on the desk.

Finally, he turned towards her, but then stopped.

“Are you just going to stand there?”

Jumi left the study. Normally, he wouldn’t have let her leave, no matter how busy he was. But today, he did nothing. No matter how much she thought about it, his behavior seemed odd.

On the day of the reunion.

She decided to join her old college friends. Feeling more at ease after having children, she couldn’t turn down Hyeseon’s invitation.

Many friends often attended alone because their husbands had other commitments. For this reason, if Yoongyo chose not to go with her, she had no issue going by herself.

Jumi’s lips curled into a smile. Despite some of them having lawyer husbands, her attractive husband was a criminal who couldn’t even present his business card. Her old college friends who attended the wedding should know better.

Jumi observed as the seats gradually filled up.

Yoongyo hadn’t arrived yet. Was he caught up with work? But she was confident he would come soon because he had promised. She waited for Yoongyo.

They started discussing intriguing rumors.

“Did you hear that Jeongyoon is getting a divorce?”

“Why?”

“It seems her husband cheated on her.”

“How do you know that?”

“Several people saw him entering a hotel.”

She mentioned that infidelity tactics had evolved, making them harder to detect. They often claim to be busy at work to come home late, and the duration of sex decreases.

“You can only catch careless cheaters.”

Jumi smiled at the empty seat. Her husband hadn’t arrived yet. Coincidentally, he exhibited behaviors of a cheating man.

“We’ve already discussed many depressing topics. Jumi, are you pregnant for the third time? Where is your husband?”
