Weekly Chapter 3/4

Finally she tried to consume a spoonful of rice because she had the baby in her womb, Heedong stormed into the room and flipped the table over. She realized the situation was serious because she even saw her cell phone on the floor. Death was near. Sadly.

Jung Yoongyo jumped to his death.

“You said it wouldn’t be dangerous, but you were lying.”

Her chest tingled. She had overheard a conversation between them. Did he really intend to die? He’d forgotten he’d promised to protect her. It was stupid. She wanted him to be safe. Jumi punched him in the chest, but then held up her hand.

“I’m sorry.”

She apologized to the man.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t a fatal attack.”

“Cheolju.”

He approached her. Her shoulders were shaking.

“Take a break and relax.”

“No. I rested yesterday. Is his life really not in danger?”

“Don’t worry, he’ll recover soon. His father was stabbed instead of the President in a territorial conflict. He died on the spot. Since then, Yoongyo, who was left alone, started working under the President until he was promoted to his current position. They saved each other from near-death situations. The President not only lost a finger, but was also shot. I think the President felt he was indebted to Yoongyo. He always followed the President.”

“……”

“The President looked after Yoongyo when he was an orphan. They developed Woosung.”

She wondered why Cheolju, who had not said a word to him for several months, was suddenly telling this. Cheolju added,

“Yoongyo could end my life if he discovers what I’ve revealed. This is also the first time I tell anyone about internal affairs. But you are a person Yoongyo appreciates.”

Cheolju left the room. They were now alone.

How could Yoongyo have such a boring life that he couldn’t feel any excitement? It was clear that he lived in a strange world.

“Wake up quickly. It’s not like you to be unconscious. And you didn’t keep your promise. You said nothing would happen. I want to ask you something, so wake up quickly.”

Even when he was lying down, she could smell his body scent.

“I’m frightened as well, but oddly enough, I feel at peace when you’re with me. It’s hard to put into words, so please don’t ask.”

A man who casually looked for solutions to problems. Maybe that’s why she felt comfortable around him. She didn’t like that he was far away. She wanted him to protect her baby even after it was born. She also wanted him to protect her.

“What am I thinking?”

She touched her burning cheek.

“I shouldn’t be thinking about this maniacal man.”

Her words were sincere.
