Chapter Index

    Unable to be treated well by anyone, she eventually surrendered her soul again to Hyunwoo, who acknowledged her existence.

    “I love you. Lady, why do I always say things like “I love you” and never give my brother a gift? I wish you could look into my heart. So that you can know how much I love you.”

    “Ah, yesterday was a gift to me too. Do you love me a lot?”

    “Yes, of course!”

    “Then you will never leave me even if I die, right?”

    “Yes!”

    “Is it true? You won’t abandon me, right? Can you understand me?”

    “Oppa… You keep asking because you’re sorry about yesterday, right?”

    Hyeji lowered her voice while answering Hyunwoo, who repeatedly asked questions. His poor man was feeling anxious again.

    “Did you get a lot of tea? Honey, yesterday… you cried a lot because of me. What should I do if he suddenly says he doesn’t like me?”

    “Ugh. you idiot. You said it was okay in the morning, but why are you saying that again?”

    “When I thought about it after sending my work away, I felt even more sorry. I think it might have been a bit too much to do in one day.”

    “Ah, what is it? Even the ox horn is sweet? at a whack? There are people who say to take it out. It hurts, but it will get better after a while. My brother said yesterday was a special day worth celebrating, right? i think so too. Really. I also wanted to give that to my brother yesterday.”

    Hyeji comforted Hyunwoo, who was unable to hide his bitter expression.

    Until yesterday, she was on the verge of fainting due to the pain reaching her limit, but she speaks without any problem, mistaking the belief system that Hyunwoo instilled in her as her own from the beginning.

    There was not an inch of shaking on her face as she said that she did it because she wanted to and according to her own will, not because Hyunwoo forced her to.

    “We will prepare a C course salad.”

    The waiter placed an old-fashioned plate on the table, which was silent for a moment as they looked at each other.

    “Wow, the plates here are pretty too. Have you ever made your own salad dressing? Something tastes amazing.”

    Hyeji tries to raise the mood by making more fuss on purpose. Hyunwoo also gave up his heart at her dedicated efforts.

    I said I would buy her a necklace, I would feed her expensive food, I thought it would be okay to briefly recall yesterday’s events, so I deliberately pretended to be anxious and started talking, but her mind was still a flower garden.

    Since I even believed that yesterday’s actions were subjective actions, no further tests seemed necessary.

    “Is it delicious?”

    “Yes! Hurry up and try it, too.”

    “Sure. Eat slowly. Maybe it will splash on the necklace.”

    “Ah, that’s right! necklace! How expensive is this? It shouldn’t stand out.”

    Hyeji fiddled with the necklace and slipped it into the sweatshirt she was wearing.

    “I’ll take it out later after eating. As you know, I’m a bit lazy. I think I’d be upset if something was asked right after I bought it. ”

    “Do whatever you want. Mom would be happy to see that you care so much.”

    “Huh?”

    “Because I bought it with the money my mom left behind. Your mother-in-law. Hmm, in a way, is this a gift to my daughter-in-law?”

    “Ah…”

    but. She said she used the monthly rent from the inherited building for living expenses, so the expenses just now must have come from the inheritance her brother was talking about. It didn’t seem wrong to say that it was a gift from my mother-in-law.

    Rather than that, it is a gift from a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law.

    Her hand stopped moving the salad to her mouth.

    “Why are you surprised? You don’t have to worry because the inheritance is not so small that buying one necklace will be a big problem.”

    Hyunwoo knew very well why she froze, but he deliberately acted slyly.

    “No, brother. That’s not it.”

    “Huh?”

    “Oppa, are you going to marry me… uh…?”

    “Ah, um… Now that I say it, I think it might sound like that. I often think that it will be difficult to meet someone who understands me as much as he does. But I haven’t proposed yet or anything like that… I don’t have any intention of proposing so rudely…”

    Hyunwoo pauses for a moment.

    For some reason, I feel like I’m watching season 2 when he seduces her under the pretext of dating. He also slowly began to plan to tie her up under the pretext of marriage.

    “It’s been 4 days since we started dating. Aren’t we still in the stage of getting to know each other as lovers? Marriage is a lifelong matter, and no matter how well you understand, I don’t know if you’ll be able to do that for the rest of your life. First, let’s get to know each other better.”

    Hyunwoo stood in the position of decision maker and spoke as if he had the right to decide whether to get married or not.

    He was the one who judged whether or not to date her, and it was no different when it came to marriage.

    Rather, considering the overwhelming economic gap between herself and her, she did more than before, not less.

    She seemed to know this too and nodded without saying anything else.

    “That’s right, it’s our fourth day now. Well… it’s still too early to talk about marriage. No matter how much you love each other, there are a lot of things to think about when it comes to marriage, and once you register your marriage, it’s hard to go back…”

    She must have been secretly expecting an answer, so she hesitated for a long time with a look of awkward regret on her face.

    It’s a shame to see him gulping down kimchi soup without knowing how to use it, but I can’t leave a stain on him by eating expensive rice.

    Hyunwoo cut off her muttering and said something out of the blue.

    “Someone said, if I want to do things with you, I like you, and if I only want to do things with you, I love you.”

    There are jokes that used to connect a man’s love with a man’s sexual desire. Those words suddenly came to mind.

    It may not have been an appropriate word for a luxurious restaurant, but it was perfect for her level.

    Since long ago, men’s sexual desire was taught to be instinctive and natural, so there was nothing to hesitate about.

    “I want to be with you all the time. Because I believe that you are my destined partner who understands and accepts me.”

    Hyunwoo explained it again in simpler terms to the woman who was just staring at her as if she didn’t understand what he said properly.

    “You are the only one in the world… I love you so much. So much so that I want to continue with you and not other women. It may be a little early to talk about marriage, but my love for you is real.”

    Anyway, she is a woman who takes a lot of effort. Only after speaking up to this point did she seem to understand what I was saying.

    In the end, he was just saying that he was going to fucking fuck you, but adding love to the end made it sound quite romantic.

    Hyeji put down the fork she was holding and opened her mouth with moist eyes.

    “Me too… I love you a lot, too. To the point where I can’t live without my brother. ah! I should also say thank you to my brother and mother. As for the necklace, my mother bought it for me as my brother said…”

    While confessing her love, Hye-ji takes out the necklace she had hidden under her clothes.

    He closes his eyes and prays, like a priest holding a cross in both hands and praying.

    “Hmm… Mom, thank you for giving me the necklace. Instead, I will make your son… the happiest man in the world. I will… I will be by your side for the rest of your life so that you never feel lonely. I will never leave you. So don’t worry and rest comfortably in heaven.”

    In a way, it is a pledge of love that sounds like something being said to Hyunwoo.

    Hyunwoo watched her foolish actions and reluctantly praised her.

    “As expected, you have a beautiful heart. Mom… will be watching everything, too. Honey, what should I do now? If you leave me and run away, my mother will appear in your dreams.”

    Watching her pray for her soul to rest in peace made me feel disgusted inside, but I tried to suppress it. Anyway, my current situation was all thanks to the woman who went to that world first.

    “Well, that won’t happen, so does that mean I won’t be able to meet my brother’s mother even in my dreams? Still… if we get married, will you appear in my dream at least once?”

    “Maybe so.”

    Hyunwoo answered half-heartedly, washing away the dryness in his mouth with a refreshing salad.

    As she said, the taste of the dressing sauce was very good.

    “Hmm…”

    By the way, is this what happened?

    As he savored the crunchy texture of the salad, he recalled the psychological manipulation techniques he had seen that afternoon.

    He subtly hinted at the mission she should focus on after enjoying the luxury she had enjoyed for the first time in her life.

    I was concerned about yesterday’s violent behavior, so I only gave him a hint, but seeing what he was doing now, I didn’t think that even if I spoke strongly, it would have an adverse effect.

    “Baby. Honey, you haven’t answered what I said yet?”

    “Huh? What?”

    “Can you understand me in the future?”

    “Ah, that was so obvious that I didn’t say it. Even though I said this, do you really want to hear it?”

    “Yes, let me hear it.”

    Hyunwoo met her gaze as she munched on her salad and made a firm request.

    She gulps down the salad in her mouth and recites the words of promise, giving strength to each letter.

    “I will continue to understand you. I will become a woman who can understand you. You endured the pain well yesterday too. know? So don’t worry and trust me.”

    “Yes, I will believe it. Thanks for saying that. All my worries are gone now.”

    Hyunwoo waited until she finished speaking and smiled brightly.

    Even the worries that should have been her right are taken over as her own and she doesn’t give the person who actually has to worry any space to worry. Rather, they only passed on the cumbersome role of comforting the person who was worried.

    “Good. It’s really… nice. I gave him a gift, and the food was delicious.”

    After successfully completing the task of assigning her a task, I felt like today’s homework was over.

    The mission Hyunwoo gave her.

    To believe and understand that all the insults that will be inflicted in the future are love.

    She repeatedly emphasized understanding as if it were the greatest virtue she could demonstrate, putting her in a position where she had to somehow understand all the things she could not understand.

    Of course, the psychological manipulation of her has only just begun, so its intensity may still be weak.

    But as always, the only thing Hyunwoo lacks is time.

    She said she believed in you and treated you like a hero, saying that she could do this because you were special and could understand me, so all you had to do was wait for her wish to be special to drive her forward.

    Hyunwoo put the freshly cooked steak in his mouth and savored its flavor.

    It was a day that wasn’t a waste of money as I thought I was training her in a different way than yesterday.
