Absolute Threshold — Chapter 32. Slap

Weekly Chapter 3/4

What was the reason for Yoongyo to have her close to him? Was it because he was a responsible father? His reasoning was not normal to have such principles. What would happen in case he took her to a surgery room to remove that child? It was a speculation.

But it seemed that Yoongyo loved the baby. If he had planned to abandon the baby, he would not have taken her home. She remembered how his eyes watched her as she ate the peach. It seemed that he asked her to slowly eat. It was strange that he should be so kind.

She touched her belly that ached a little more. Should she go to the hospital?

She received a call from Yoongyo.

“It’s me.”

“Where are you?”

“At the coffee shop. I’m going to my parents’ house today. I think I still need to explain the situation to my mom. I can’t avoid it anymore.”

“I will send you some news. I hope my son is healthy.”

Jumi shook her head at his adorable words.

“By the way, has your wound improved?”

“Why?”

“Yesterday…”

“What? Why did it get w3t with your flu!ds?”

She looked around startled. In the empty cafe there was only her with a flushed face. She could hear Cheolju’s voice beside him. Maybe he had his subordinates nearby.

“What nonsense did you say?”

“Why are you surprised when you have done worse things?”

“Is anyone around?”

“Who? Cheolju?”

Surely Cheolju assumed that Yoongyo had called her. When she heard Cheolju said, ‘did you call me’, she realized the situation. Her face turned redder.

“No, they’re all close right now.”

“What?”

“You even w3t my m@nhood when you c@me.”

“Shut up!”

Why?”

“A person came. I’m hanging up.”

She quickly ended the call with an appropriate excuse. She bumped her head against the table, then saw a familiar car behind the glass door. A familiar figure. And a coat she had seen many times.

It was Kyung who opened the store door.

She lifted her head.

“Mom.”

Her footsteps sounded as loud as a drum. Jumi’s feet were frozen. Kyung was angry. Maybe it was normal. In case Yoongyo had told Wooseok the news about her pregnancy, Wooseok would have told Kyung.

Slap.

She received a slap on her cheek.

“Pregnant? Are you crazy? Why do you think I brought the hospital director’s son here? I don’t want a gangster son-in-law. Your father is already a gangster. That’s enough. You seemed to understand that, too. What happened?”

Kyung put her hand to her forehead.

“Why are you doing this to me? You tell me to meet this person, then someone else, but you get mad at anyone, what should I do?”

“So you think it’s good to relate to that man?”

“It doesn’t make much difference. Is that man’s occupation a doctor or a gangster? What does it matter? I never thought I would get pregnant, what can I do now?”

“Right now we’re going to remove that child.”

She violently grabbed her wrist.

“After the surgery, are you planning for me to marry the hospital director’s son?”

“If you can do that, do it!”
