Marriage to My Teacher
Episode 79 - Missing BaekHyun

I've already got here. It turned out that BaekHyun had also prepared a driver to drive me. He really prepared everything well. Apartment included. The apartment is large enough for one person. I think I should thank BaekHyun.

Speaking of BaekHyun, I haven't told him that I arrived safely here. It's now 3pm in America. But, my flight is 18 hours, I left at 7, which means it's 1 midnight in Seoul now. I'm not sure if he's still awake at this hour.

Yes, I'll just send him a message. He'll probably read it when he wakes up tomorrow. I'm sure he's very tired in there. His phone is inactive. Yes, I did, I tidied up my stuff first. I had to get my clothes out of the suitcase and move them to the closet.

I pulled my suitcase into her bedroom. It's just as comfortable and nice as my house and BaekHyun's, it's just smaller because it's just an apartment, different from home.

It looks like my closet in the old room. Maybe he wants me to feel at home even though I'm far away from him now. It should be time for me to go to bed, fortunately I slept on the plane earlier, so I don't feel so sleepy now.

Actually I don't really remember if I brought these things, like some of my favorite books, USB containing my stories. Maybe BaekHyun put her in.

Just 20 hours, I miss him so much. Why am I so cute with him, if you think it's weird too. Bucin is a teacher himself. But he has become my husband. Yes it is. Let's be together with my own husband. It's not a sin. It's good, right?

I finished putting it all in the closet. Now I think it's time to check out the kitchen. Is there anything? My stomach is hungry.

The kitchen is empty. I think I'll buy groceries first at the supermarket downstairs. Everything BaekHyun prepared was completely complete. Downstairs there is a supermarket and a cafe. Near my apartment there is a bookstore that is quite complete. And Harvard is really close from here. Maybe I can just walk to campus to save on the cost.

I looked for my jacket and got down to carry it with my wallet.

I just buy the essential ingredients. My money is limited here. BaekHyun is also not here to pay for my groceries. He did give her some shopping money, but not much. I bought instant noodles, some vegetables, eggs, and meat. For rice, I guess they rarely eat rice here. I think once in a while maybe I want to eat pasta.

I walked into the pasta hall. Luck is on my side. I found my favorite pasta here. I tiptoed to take her. My hands are almost there. But someone took it for me.

"Here." Her speech.

"Thanks" answered me.

"No problem." Her reply.

I went from there and lined up at the cashier.

"92 dollars all." Said cashier.

I give cash. Now it's time for me to go back upstairs to put all this in.

*****

Okay.

I finally cleared everything up. But to eat, it looks like I will try the food at the Cafe below first. I have no intention of cooking at all today. I'm tired enough already, and maybe I'll find a side job.

I know BaekHyun won't let it, but he won't know. My side job is most just working at the bottom cafe or the cashier at the supermarket below. Who knows, they need employees.

Now it's time for me to take a break. It's almost 6 o'clock. At 6 I'll go buy some food downstairs.

I just closed my eyes. My phone is shaking again. I saw the incoming message from BaekHyun.

"How are you doing there? Is everything all right? I'll transfer your transport money every week, don't worry, and the meal money, just use the credit card I gave you, I'll pay for it from here."

"Baek, can I work? For a month, when I start college, I'll quit my job."

Drtts.... Drttt.. Drtts...

Oh naw. Finish me. BaekHyun called me. He'll probably be mad because I brought him up again.

But if I don't pick him up he might go berserk.

"Hello?" My speech.

"I don't have Baek's activities here, I can't just stay here without doing anything, I'm bored here Baek, I'm not, and also I don't have any friends because I haven't started college, I mean I intend to work in the cafe under the Apartment, it's not far at all and there are also many female employees there, too, who knows if I can be friends with them while also looking for work experience, I promise I won't be exhausted, I will also take care of my health here, I just need permission from you," Say it long enough.

"Another reason you have to work?" Ask. I thought for a second.

"Didn't I say everything?" Reply me.

"I'm sure you have another reason why you forced yourself to work, we've agreed on this Yerin." Say it with rage. I know he's mad because I brought this up again.

"I need extra money for myself here, you're far away, I need to be able to take care of myself here, you need money there to survive, me too, so I asked your permission to work part-time." My speech.

"Yerin, you need money? I'll take that CEO position, I'll take papa's company if need be if all you need is money, Don't you know how many dangerous men there are ready to make you their prey? There unlike in Korea Jer, where non-virgin women are common, I don't want you to regret if something happens to yourself, listen to me, don't work, I don't want to, just tell me what you want and I'll transfer the money to you."

I dare not speak anything more. I always feared that he was angry.

"Now do you still want to work? I'll take papa company experts and be the CEO there, don't worry about money matters, I'll take care of it, Understand?" Ask.

"Yes, I understand, sorry to upset you for bringing this up again, I just don't want to keep bothering you" I said softly.

"Well, I'm going to go to papa's office, he told me to come to his office to look around the company, maybe tomorrow I'll start working there and remember one thing, he said, you're not troublesome, it's my obligation to meet all your needs, so don't ever think you're just weighing on me, it's not true, just throw that thought all the way out of your head," Her speech.

"I understand, but are you home now?" Ask me

"Yes, why?" Ask her.

"Can we video call for a second? I want to see Hani." My speech.

He immediately changed the phone mode to video call.

"He was eating voraciously." BaekHyun aimed his camera at Hani who was engrossed in eating.

BaekHyun was neat with the blue shirt he used to teach. I don't know why, BaekHyun always rolled his sleeves up to the elbows. It seems like a habit.

"Be careful on the road, CEO candidate" I said.

He laughed softly. "Because of you Yerin, try you here, I've bitten you."

Bleee... "I'm far away" I said. He looks pissed.

"Yes, have you had dinner? It's night there, right?" Ask. I'm nodding.

"I'm going to eat downstairs, I've filled up the food supply, but I want to try the food downstairs,": I said. He's nodding.

"Use your credit card, save your cash for emergencies." Her speech. I nodded again.

"Yes. Yes, it's there, you'll be late" I said. He's nodding.

"Well, good-bye, my wife" he said.

"Be careful on Baek's path, I love you," I said.

"I love you too Byun Yerin" he said.

I closed the video call. Now at least I know BaekHyun is still fine. What I'm worried about is that he had a fight with Sowon when I wasn't there. Even Sowon's house is close to me.

Sometimes I don't know whether the friendly Sowon and I are too close to each other to be stupid or what. I used to say caution on the road to Sowon, and vice versa, our houses are opposite. He is my neighbor. That's what I'm afraid BaekHyun and Sowon will fight a lot later. Hopefully Mr. ChanYeol can break them.
