last update Last Updated: 2021-06-24 17:58:48
The next day. At the President Director's residence, I'm sitting there again, facing Baekhoon’s parents and giving my report as usual. But of course, I'm not reporting that I successfully 'slept' with their son, but rather about the person who 'harmed' Shela. I look down for a moment, then muster the courage to glance at the President Director and his wife alternately. I can't take it anymore, being labeled as a 'suspect' by Baekhoon; he might just kill me sooner or later.

"Sir, I want to inform you about Shela," I said.

"I've already heard everything," the President Director replied.

"I apologize, I'm not capable of handling this matter." I look down, embarrassed. "I've told you that Baekhoon is normal. Even though he's married to me, that won't change his decision. It seems... he won't end this charade until he can get Shela. Can't you just approve of them? They love each other, I think that's best for your son. Making Shela miserable will only complicate your relationship with yo

  • My Pretty Husband   21. Help arrives

    I mustn't give up, I have to save myself. A tear rolls down my cheek as I'm consumed by terror. I'm begging anyone out there to help me, please, someone, anyone. I don't want to die like this, with that knife pressed against my neck, the cold blade sending shivers down my spine. That's why I chose to follow them, deeper into this desolate and dark alley, every step feeling like a countdown to my demise. I'm afraid the knife will slash my throat at any moment, and I'll be silenced forever. I hope I don't pass out before I escape from them, before I can scream for help one last time. "Please, let me go..." I whimpered, my voice barely audible, helpless and pleading. I stumble and fall onto the damp ground as they push me to the dead end of the alley, the walls closing in on me like a trap. I'm even more frightened, there's no light here except for the faint glow of streetlights that barely illuminate this godforsaken place. The shadows seem to be moving, twisting into menacing forms th

    "What about you?" I asked frantically. "Don't worry about me! Just get out of here!" "Take this!" Without hesitation, I hand him the wooden stick I'm holding, and he accepts it.Before I can even move, one of the thugs suddenly tries to block my way and attack me. I think I'm done for, but thanks to the rescuer's kick, I manage to escape. I run with all my might, as far as I can. My body trembles with fear, anxiety, and every other emotion blended together. The pain and throbbing of the wounds on my face are unbearable. If that man hadn't shown up, I have no idea what those thugs would have done to me. I'm terrified. Extremely terrified. My fear is so overwhelming that I can barely think straight. At first, I thought I'd just give up. If I'm going to die, so be it. But then the rescuer appeared, and I saw a glimmer of hope. And in the end, I managed to escape from them.I hope that man can handle those thugs. I hope he's safe. Oh, I just remembered, when I handed him that piece of w

  • My Pretty Husband   23. I never even thought of killing you

    As we burst through the door, I frantically grab the first-aid kit, my hands shaking with desperation. I'm wounded too, but Baekhoon's condition is my only concern. He's the one who saved me from the jaws of death, and now he's paying the price. Baekhoon slumps on the sofa, his eyes sunken, his face a twisted mask of agony. I rush to his side, opening the first-aid kit with trembling hands. "We have to get you to the hospital!" I pleaded, my voice cracking with fear. "No need, I won't die from this," Baekhoon gasps, his voice barely above a whisper, but his eyes flashing with a defiant spark. "Don't be reckless!" I scolded, as I gently clean the bloody gashes on Baekhoon's face with antiseptic solution, my heart racing with every stroke. I apply a cold compress to the swollen and bruised areas on his cheek, praying that it will ease his suffering. "Oh God, it's swollen this badly," I muttered to myself, unaware of the words escaping my lips. "You need to take medicine to reduce

    "Yeah, yeah, yeah... it's quite surprising." I nod, trying to sound nonchalant. Initially, I wanted to praise him, but since Baekhoon is already praising himself, I decide to hold back. "Are you mocking me?" "No.""Just say 'yes' once! If you say it more than once, I'll think you're mocking me." "Sorry." A black belt? From what I know, a black belt is the highest rank in martial arts. Wow, I didn't expect Baekhoon to have one. Is he bragging? "Yongju, your face... is it okay?" Baekhoon asked, his voice trembling with deep concern. "Mmm, it's just a small wound. I'll treat it before bed," I replied, trying to calm myself down. "Do you want me to help?" Baekhoon asked, his face inches from mine, his piercing eyes examining every wound on my face. My heart races, my breath catches. I feel like I'm trapped in a whirlwind of unexpected emotions. "Ah, no need. I can do it myself," I said, trying to hide the turmoil brewing inside me. Silence. Baekhoon's face is still inches fr

    I trudge back to the bus stop, my feet heavy with defeat, and collapse onto the bench, waiting for the next bus to arrive. But before I can catch my breath, a sleek black car pulls up in front of me, its tinted windows reflecting the fading light. The window rolls down, revealing a chiseled face, a strong jawline, and piercing eyes that seem to bore into my soul - Byun Baekhoon. "Get in!" he commanded, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down my spine. "What? What are you doing here? What if someone sees?" I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and excitement. "Get in!" he repeats, his tone brooking no argument, his eyes flashing with a hint of danger. "I don't like repeating myself, hurry up and get in!" I hesitate, my heart racing with trepidation as I scan the deserted surroundings. The silence is oppressive, punctuated only by the distant hum of a solitary car. I take a deep breath and slide into Baekhoon's car, the door closing behind me with a soft thud. This t

  • My Pretty Husband   26. I need your help

    Baekhoon's words continue to haunt me, echoing in my mind like a sinister mantra. ‘Think carefully, Yongju. If you refuse to help me, I won't hesitate to take action against you.’ ‘I'll keep demanding that you fulfill your promise.’ ‘You must prove that the divorce will happen.’ His threats have left me paralyzed with fear, my mind consumed by uncertainty. I'm torn between my desire to escape this toxic situation and my fear of making the wrong decision. What if I'm wrong? What if I'm misreading the situation? I wish I could read people's minds, know their true intentions. But I'm stuck in this limbo, unable to make a decision. My heart is racing, my thoughts a jumbled mess. I'm trapped in this never-ending cycle of fear and doubt. ... Three days later... "Want to leave?" The question stops me in my tracks, and I turn to face the source of the voice It's Baekhoon, standing at the minibar, brewing a cup of coffee. Where is he planning to go? He's dressed impeccably, and t

    "I'll take care of Dongju if we divorce or you die, so rest assured," Baekhoon responds, his tone dripping with an unsettling calmness, sending shivers down my spine. Hearing his words, a searing pain pierces my heart, like a thousand knives twisting in my soul. Why does it hurt so much? My poor heart feels like it's being ripped apart. 'Or you die'... how can someone utter those words with such ease? I gasp for air, my lungs burning with anguish."I'm sorry, I'm going back on my word," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. "What do you mean?" Baekhoon's voice is laced with curiosity, but I can sense a hint of danger lurking beneath. "We... might not get divorced," I stammer, my heart racing with anticipation. I quickly hang up the phone and turn it off, as if severing the connection will shield me from the turmoil that's brewing. I'm afraid he'll call me back and say something that will shatter me completely. Baekhoon, I'm sorry. It seems... I'm falling deeply into the

    Kyuhyun Oppa...Oppa... Kyu Oppa... Lee Yongju... Lee Yongju...My heart is aflutter, my soul entranced as I imagine Kyuhyun's sultry voice beckoning me. Blissful... "Lee Yongju!" I jolt awake, my muscles trembling from the sudden movement. Someone's calling my name, shattering the fragile threads of my dream. The bed is a haven, warm, inviting, and intoxicatingly fragrant... I yearn to surrender to its comfort and relive the tantalizing dream. Earlier, I was lost in a vivid fantasy, entwined with Kyuhyun in a tender moment, our lips almost touching. But cruel fate intervened, and I awoke, leaving me with a gnawing sense of longing. Ugh, if I succumb to slumber once more, will the dream resume its tantalizing narrative? I'm compelled to find out. I close my eyes, willing the dream to return. "HEI! LEE YONGJU!" "AHHH!" I bolt upright, my heart racing like a runaway train as Baekhoon's thunderous shout shatters the silence.

    I sigh. That is true. Father and son alike, both like simple and uncomplicated clothes. I see Hajun reach for the hat hanging in front of him. He plays with it then he walks towards the exit carrying the hat. "Hajun where are you going? Just put the hat here!" I said. Hajun just babbles as he keep walks. Baekmyo follows behind while asking for the hat from Hajun. I watchs from afar, a little worried. Hajun is walking fast enough but not really strong yet. I'm afraid he will fall. "Hajun, don't take it out it will ring!" Baekmyo said in a patient tone. Hajun keep walking towards the door and right, when he passes the exit the device installed on the door immediately rang because the hat Hajun brought had not been paid for, there is still the seal. I see from afar Hajun panick and go back inside. Then he wept for fear of the sound. Baekmyo takes the hat and carries Hajun into the shop again. I smile a little holding back laughter

    After leaving the salon, Baekmyo takes me to lunch at a restaurant. He invites me to eat well. I feel today is my lucky day. Baekmyo really served me. I feel like a queen. After feeding, Hajun fell asleep. Earlier he had defecated and luckily we were already at the restaurant and the restaurant has baby care facilities. I put Hajun in the stroller beside me then started eating my food. "Where are we going after this?" Baekmyo asked. "I think we should just go home. I didn't bring much change of clothes for Hajun." "Okay, it's up to you." I devour my food voraciously. I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or if the food tastes good to me. Baekmyo watches me with a smile on his lips. I know he likes to watch me eat well. He said it was something cute. Though I ate like a hungry lion, I don't know which side he was looking at so thought it was cute. "Is the food good?" Baekmyo asked as he put a slice of meat on top of my rice.

    "It's up to you what you want to do there. Think of it as a gift from me. You need to take care of yourself." "Is that true?" "Yes." "Oppa, I love you!" I said happily even though my voice is drowned by Baekmyo's embrace. "You, at this rate just said you love me," he sneered. "You say that to Hajun more often. Almost every second you say it." "Do not exaggerate!" my murmur. I know Baekmyo didn't mean it. I hug Baekmyo back. He always pays attention to me. Even if it's just a small attention, it's often. My love does not decrease, in fact it increases every day. "Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to you. You almost became a zombie because you didn't have time to take care of yourself," Baekmyo said. "What's that bad?" "No, you're still beautiful in my eyes. Uh... I think I'm the one who loves you more." "I love you more." "No, I'm the one who loves you the most." "Then love me as

    Three months have passed. It's true what people say, if you have a baby, your sleep time will be reduced. Time for yourself will be greatly reduced. That's right. Very true. Sometimes I'm tired and sometimes I'm happy. Tired of when the little one cries and asks to be carried, not to mention that I have to do homework. It's nice, when I feel like I'm back in childhood. Invite him to play, joke. Even though he can't speak yet and can only roll there, roll here, but my Hajun can already laugh. His motor skills are developing. Really, I love my Hajun. "I thought you only loved Hajun," Baekmyo begin to protest. It is always like that when he felt it was unfair to him. Even though I've tried my best to be fair to these two men I love. Hajun and Baekmyo. But... it can't be denied, ever since Hajun is there, I put Hajun first. "Oh, I love you both," I evaded, I don't want Baekmyo to be jealous of his own son even though I know he's just kidding. Baek

    Now I'm lying in the hospital. My stomach hurts excruciatingly. Baekmyo stands beside me lying down. He looked very worried and scared to see my state like this. Though I just want to give birth, not dying. I'm in the delivery room, I don't know how many hours I've been here. I will give birth to a baby. Happiness and fear become one. Thrilling. It is so thrilling that my heart is about to explode. Luckily Baekmyo had not left for the office, after seeing me in pain he immediately took me to the hospital. Now he's here with me. Holds my hand and gives me a reassuring smile. Occasionally kissing my hand and looking at me with love. I can tell he is no less nervous than me, his face like a confused person. "It's okay, everything will be fine," he whispered reassuringly. "I love you." Baekmyo looked like he is about to cry, but he tries to hold it in. Behind this pain, there is a burning feeling that fills my chest. This is what it feels like to gi

    "Oppa... what's wrong with you? Why do you call me like that?" At this rate Shela looks like a normal human. "Haeyeon, you know right? I used to tell you that... love and mate won't go anywhere. We've been through a lot, you should understand that we weren't meant to be together. One day you'll find out. someone you really love," Baekmyo said at length. "Oppa..." "It is not my child and you know very well it is not my child but Hong Kangmin's child. Remember, he loves you very much and you deserve to be loved. So... stop feeling alone. You have many people who love you. There is your mother, your cousin, Hong Kangmin and. .. you see there?" Baekmyo turns to look at me with a smile. "She's one of those people who wants you to be happy. She doesn't hate you. Look, she's standing in this room, do you think she deserves your hate?" I see Shela stares at me for a long time with a calmer expression. She looks confused. Suddenly her tears f

    Several months pass. The seasons have changed. I'm eight months pregnant and my stomach has grown. Baekmyo and I have been through a lot. Especially Baekmyo, for about three months he suffered. It's a pain, but it's so funny. Sympathetic pregnancy. It doesn't feel like time has passed quickly. My stomach feels heavier as if I am pocketing something in my stomach. However, my feelings grew extraordinary. Day by day feels more and more thrilling. When we did the USG, the doctor said it was a boy. I can't wait for it. Little Baekmyo, he must be very cute like his father. Today I take Baekmyo somewhere. Actually he balks, but in the end I manage to persuade him. Melting his heart is actually easy, but for that one... it's really hard. Inside the car it is a little... cold. Baekmyo exudes a cold air because he's actually angry I take him to that place. It's nothing, ever since I hear the news... for some reason my heart immediately pinched. Maybe it's because we'r

    I arrive downstairs and greet my mother-in-law and hug her. "I'm doing the laundry, Mom," I explained. "laundry? Let your husband do it! You're pregnant, my God!" Sometimes I don't understand. What do people like my mother-in-law feel like? Baekmyo is her biological son, but my mother-in-law always treats me very well. I'm so grateful to have her. "Well, daddy brought a lot of meat! I know you like meat!" Suddenly my father-in-law appeared carrying a lot of carry-ons. "Dad why are you carrying heavy things like this?" I want to help him but my mother-in-law immediately stop me on the grounds that I am pregnant. "Your Dad is still strong!" said my father-in-law with a smile. My father-in-law takes all the packages to the kitchen. I don't know what they carry but... this looks like a month's worth of shopping. "Baekmyo will be home soon, right? Mom will cook for you, you just stay here!" my mother-in-law said. "Mom, how c

    "Hah?" I howl in surprise. "I'm pregnant why do you have cravings? Are you delirious?" "Earlier my mother called me and asked how I was. Mother said I had an sympathetic pregnancy. Because of that I was nauseous and even my back hurt. I also have cravings like pregnant people. My father used to experience it when my mother was pregnant with me," he explained with his face still covered by his arms. . I am quiet. That seems to be true, I've heard of that too. But it's also funny if for example Baekmyo has cravings. Even a few days ago we did not notice the signs at all. I thought Baekmyo had a problem at work, but he's in a bad mood because of that? "Now how do you feel?" I asked. "Mixed together." I frown in confusion. "Are you nauseous?" "No." Baekmyo openes his eyes and loweres his arms from his face. He looks at me with a sad look. "I'm going to be a father. I'm going to have other responsibilities besides you." Baekmyo sits up and
