Chapter 384 - 384 - Honey
Aeri put on a sullen face when she remembered that she had not seen Han for a long time. There was no trace at all. Yesterday before going to the bar, Aeri first visited Han's apartment. She was hoping to find something to find out where he was.
As a result, nothing was found. The apartment manager said that if Han had left a few months ago, he said he wanted to leave the country. After that he never came back again.
"Han, where exactly are you right now?" Aeri muttered with a distant gaze through the glass window in the bathroom.
Her household with Dae Hyun was not going well because in her heart there was another man. If Dae Hyun was not an influential person, she was also reluctant to sacrifice her sometimes hurt feelings. It was also her fault because when Dae Hyun wanted her to be a good mother, she didn't listen to him.
Now when Dae Hyun seemed to have another woman, she just regretted it. Aeri regretted of why she didn't pretend she was good from the start.
Aeri splashed her head under the shower. She shook her head to feel fresh. After that, she soaked for half an hour. Until finally, she decided to finish the shower.
"Dae Hyun?" Aeri said with wide eyes and her body began to tremble.
Dae Hyun remained indifferent while combing his hair in front of the mirror.
Aeri ventured to drag her legs which suddenly felt weak. Cold heat began to seep into her soul. Paralyzed her nerves. Aeri really did not expect that Dae Hyun was already in Seoul.
"Honey, when are you coming home?" She was still wearing a towel. Aeri walked closer until they were only one meter away. Stood right behind Dae Hyun who was facing the mirror.
Aeri stopped her steps because she saw Dae Hyun's eyes. Looked relaxed and without any emotion that she could see in the mirror reflection at all.
"You don't have to call me 'honey'. You don't have to lie to your feelings," Dae Hyun said, tried to speak as casually as possible so that the problem will be resolved soon. Often speaking with emotions gave him a headache.
Airi raised her eyebrows. Tried to digest what was said by the man who was now in front of her.
Dae Hyun looked at Aeri from the mirror reflection with the side of his lips raised upwards. Aeri actually felt scared by that smile.
"If you love Han, you should be honest. There's no need to lie to your feelings like that," Dae Hyun said as he smoothed his collar.
Airi swallowed her saliva. Her heart was pounding now. She was in a mess and had the feeling that something bad might happen. Aeri didn't feel like saying anything about Han.
"W… what do you mean?" asked Aeri nervously. Her hands gripped the towel in the shape of the shirt she was wearing.
"Don't be surprised like that," Dae Hyun sneered with a chuckle.
"I was just surprised because I didn't expect you to say that. Or maybe you're jealous of Han?" Aeri tried to relax and not be nervous. Didn't want to let her nervousness make Dae Hyun even more suspicious of her.
"Jealous?" Dae Hyun snorted.
"I'm not jealous at all. I actually feel sorry for you who lied to your feelings too much," Dae Hyun continued with a wrinkled forehead.
"What exactly are you saying? I'm not lying with my feelings at all. I have no reason to lie," said Aeri accompanied by a crisp chuckle.
"Really? Usually someone who is said when someone is drunk is a very important person in the heart," Dae Hyun said with a more serious tone.
"Drunk?" Airi covered her mouth. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"You definitely won't remember anything because you're drunk," Dae Hyun said with a chuckle.
"Did you bring me home?" Aeri asked just to make sure. Was it true that Dae Hyun had brought her home.
"Hmmm, who do you think will come there? Han?" Dae Hyun quipped with a smile that his upper lip pulled back.
"Of course it's impossible," Aeri stuttered. Her position was so wrong this time, even denying it would actually be in vain.
"Aeri, if you really want to be with him I will gladly make it happen. Come to court so that our divorce will be easier," said Dae Hyun then turned his body to look at Aeri.
"No… I don't want to divorce you," Aeri said quickly with trembling lips. She could already guess about it.
"Why? You should like it so you can be with Han someday. You don't have to worry because I will definitely help you to find him," Dae Hyun said calmly.
"I don't love him. You're the only one I love," Aeri said with fear that was starting to come.
"Aren't you tired of this marriage? Our marriage is just a status. There are no feelings between us. I want to live happily with the woman I love. While you can also do the same thing. You can live happily with the man you love freely," said Dae Hyun while taking a deep breath.
Aeri listened to Dae Hyun's words with a blank mind. But after a while, she realized something. She didn't need love in her life. Although her feelings rarely felt happiness, Aeri didn't want to be separated from Dae Hyun's family.
Without thinking, Aeri then kneeled in front of Dae Hyun.
"Please don't divorce me," Aeri said while sobbing.
"If you want to marry another woman, go ahead. I'm willing if you have to be re-married," said Aeri, tried to cry as softly as possible so Dae Hyun would not want to divorce her.
"No, Aeri. Even if you want it, I still don't want to do it," said Dae Hyun. He didn't want Soo Yin to suffer.
"Please, don't divorce me. Don't you feel sorry for Jo Yeon Jo if he gets an evil stepmother," said Aeri.
"You don't have to worry because she is a good girl," said Dae Hyun.
Brak….
Suddenly the door opened very loudly.
