episode_0086

Upon waking up, I felt a throbbing headache, a stomach-churning nausea, and a strange warmth. Did I drink too much thinking it wasn’t strong liquor? I can’t remember how many drinks it took for the film to cut off. I should have stopped at the right amount… Ugh, dizzy…

“Honey? Honey!! Thank goodness, you’re finally awake.”

Amidst the intense dizziness, I hear my husband’s voice. Even though I’m suffering from a severe hangover, the voice calling me, my favorite person, sounds clearer than anything else.

Opening my eyes and meeting his gaze, I see my husband looking at me with worry, his hand on my shoulder. But why is he naked? Ugh, I see him every day, but his muscles are really provocative… And why is he trying to seduce me again from the morning? Just because he’s fit and handsome doesn’t mean he can get away with it!

“Uh, I’m awake, but… I feel like I should close my eyes again…”

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“Kang Sunwoo, who is as handsome as a sculpture, keeps staring at me~ It’s uncomfortable for my eyes~”

“Ugh… Don’t say that. It’s embarrassing.”

Blushing, my husband looks embarrassed. He just said what was true, so why is he embarrassed? Cute.

“But why are you already awake? It’s still early in the morning.”

Even though the sunlight isn’t shining through the curtains at this early hour, why didn’t we sleep and what were we doing? Surely we weren’t staying up all night without sleeping, right?

“Don’t you remember? We’ve been going at it until now.”

“What? Ugh!”

Looking down, I discover that my husband and I are connected below. Both of us are not even wearing underwear. We were definitely wearing clothes before the film cut off, so when did we become naked? No, more importantly, even though I have a hangover, my body still feels warm, was this the culprit!

“I’m really relieved. Until a moment ago, you were rolling your eyes and passing out, so I thought something was wrong.”

“What!?”

What is this man saying right now!? I didn’t see it myself, but I can imagine what kind of face he was making. If he was sticking out his tongue and making a peace sign with his fingers, it would have been even worse… But, that’s not the problem right now! Oh no!! I feel so embarrassed I could die!!

“Um… Honey. If you’re awake, could you, um, loosen it up a bit there? It’s too tight and I’m afraid it might come off…”

While I’m screaming internally, my husband points to the place where we are connected with a troubled expression. But you know, it’s not that uncomfortable down there at all?

“I’m sorry. Even if I want to loosen it up, it doesn’t seem to work as I want. Is it because of the mischievous husband who messed everything up?”

I said it jokingly, but it’s not really a lie. How much did he mess up that it’s still stuck there? I can’t even move my lower body.

If you want it to come off, make that big thing smaller.

“Well, I admit I was a bit rough this time…”

“Well, since you admitted it honestly, I’ll forgive you. Let’s… continue…”

“Honey?”

Reaching out my arm to grab my husband, his bulky body slowly falls towards me. How much strength did he exert to collapse so easily? I just pulled him slightly.

“Instead, you have to keep doing this for a while. Until morning. Got it?”

“Got it. If you want to, I’ll do it as much as you want, Honey.”

Embracing my husband’s body tightly and whispering, he would gently stroke my head with an expression devoid of displeasure, even demanding a gentle kiss.

Even though there might still be a lingering smell of alcohol, I hesitated for a moment but there was no option to refuse.

“Chu, hehe… ♡ Right, husband. I have something I’m curious about…”

“What is it?”

“It’s kind of embarrassing to say this, but your family members seem so approachable…”

“…Sorry, it must have been tough because of my family members, right?”

“Yeah, honestly, it was really tough. Especially yesterday was the worst.”

Dealing with Kang Dan Yi alone was already difficult enough, but this time, with my mother joining in, the mental burden was multiplied several times. To face such a situation and even be urged to drink, how much did I have to endure…

If I were to face such a situation again, would I be able to endure it? If you’re coming over, at least give a heads up, and how did you even know the house password to forcefully intrude without permission.

Well, I can tolerate all that because they are my husband’s family. But to casually touch the late-night snack that my husband made to eat? That’s crossing the line by far!

“Honey, I’m really sorry. I’ll make sure to clearly communicate to prevent such incidents in the future.”

“Please… Especially make sure to emphasize it to your brother.”

This kind of audacity needs to be kept in check… If, by any chance, my husband tries to do something inappropriate while still forcefully intruding, I won’t be able to bear it.

“I’ll keep it in mind.”

As if understanding my feelings, my husband embraced me tightly with his arms and said. Naturally, I also hugged my husband more tightly. Perhaps due to his body temperature, my body, which had cooled down from the hangover, felt warm.

***

Before we knew it, the long summer had passed by. Despite many events happening during that time, life in this house remained peaceful without much change.

After Kang Dan Yi paid attention to my husband, she didn’t come barging in as she pleased, and my mother didn’t seem to oppose my presence by my husband’s side.

I continued my daily routine of receiving tutoring from Min Jung and preparing for the college entrance exam diligently, as well as taking care of the baby without missing a day.

If I were to point out any changes, it would be that I rarely wore clothes in the house and that we went on more frequent dates outside.

“There are so many people here today, right?”

“Yeah, how can it be this crowded on a weekday?”

Today’s date was a movie date just like last time. When we heard that the sequel to the romance movie we watched before was released, we rushed over without hesitation. I enjoyed it, but it’s no secret that my husband enjoyed it even more, as he rented out an entire theater again.

I tried to dissuade him from going overboard, but he insisted on not wanting to be disturbed by others during our private time, so I reluctantly understood with a generous heart.

He can be so childish at times. Our husband is hehe♡

“Oh, I’ll go wash my hands for a moment~”

“Sure, take your time. I’ll be waiting here.”

Handing my handbag to my husband, I headed straight to the bathroom. After washing my hands quickly, I carefully looked at my reflection in the mirror.

To make sure there’s nothing strange, to check if my clothes are straight. I challenged myself with high heels today, but I can’t look awkward. Not even a small piece of lint is allowed.

The problem is, I put too much effort into this date, and now I’ve discovered an uncomfortable aspect.

“These high heels… are much more painful than I thought.”

Wanting to look pretty for my husband, I recently acquired these shoes, but now that I’ve actually worn them and walked around, I realize that they’re really hard on my feet. It feels like if I keep wearing them, my toes will get squished and something will go wrong.

I made a mistake choosing heels that are quite high, and now I’m suffering. I should only wear them for today and then look for something more comfortable for my feet.

Anyway, I’ve checked everything, so I need to hurry back. Oh, my feet are killing me. They’re killing me…

“Hey, are you kidding me? Who do you think you are to ignore me like this?!”

As I limp out of the restroom and walk, a sharp female voice comes from the direction of the ticket booth. It’s so piercing that I want to cover my ears throughout the entire theater.

Realizing that something is going on, I turn my head towards the source of the sound.

What’s happening? A play? It’s a bit far, so I can’t see clearly, but it seems like a couple is arguing in the midst of a crowd.

No, it feels like the woman is berating the man unilaterally. What did the man do wrong to cause such a scene here?

“Sujeong, I told you back then. Let’s break up now. You said you don’t want to see someone like me anymore, so leave. You said you can’t stand being with someone like me.”

Wait a minute, is that our husband’s voice?

“You said you can’t stand being with someone like me, who said let’s break up?! Hey, wake up, you idiot. If it’s not me, who would date a loser like you? You need to know your place, a guy who can’t hold a woman’s hand and will scream his whole life.”

As the two figures get closer, the unpleasant voice becomes clearer.

Wait, did that woman just say that to our husband? Is she crazy?

“Haah, I’ve told you before, don’t speak recklessly. Lower your voice…”

“Did you just sigh? Are you making fun of me? Making fun of me!”

My steps in the corridor become faster. The pain in my feet is almost imperceptible as all my focus is on the two people.

With an excessive momentum, I almost collided with the people standing there, but I didn’t care and continued to move forward confidently.

And as I approached the two, the insolent person who was speaking rudely to our husband

— Smack!

Slapped him on the cheek. With that dirty hand.

Our husband, without any resistance, simply accepted it and turned his head.

How dare she.

Put her hand on my husband’s face.

Ha…

Hahaha…

This… dog…

The moment I witnessed this unbelievable scene,

“Who do you think you are to slap my man?! You b****——!!!!”

I understood firsthand what it means to lose control due to anger.
