My Boyfriend Having Affairs
13. Way Back
Hye Sun POVs
Finally I was able to breathe a sigh of relief, because Myung Soo wanted to help me this time. I don't know what else to do if he won't help me. But there is fear in me, what if Myung Soo is married to Sarang? Then what is my fate with this child I bear.
I have to think about how Myung Soo won't go back to Sarang. Should I make Sarang know that I'm with Myung Soo tonight. Yes, it was one way for Sarang to leave Myung Soo.
After all why he kept the man who had clearly impregnated the wife of another, even foolishly willing to do the engagement. I won't let this time Myung Soo be with Sarang. I have to take it back. Myung Soo can't be with Sarang. I don't want to suffer alone.
Now is not the time for me to relax. I have to try to take Myung Soo's heart. Now I will go to the market and cook Myung Soo's favorite food. I never cooked anything for her, Myung Soo must have been overwhelmed by what I did this time.
🐾
It's my first time to go to the market again after yesterday to become a big lady. Not even going to the market to the kitchen I never did.
I really liked Seokjin's life, full of wealth without flaws. Moreover, he meets the needs of my parents. But I never felt happiness from him.
Every night he never touched me, Seokjin prefers to work in his room until late. And in the morning I didn't see him in bed because he had left for work early in the morning.
I only ate with the helpers. No friends to talk to, I feel so lonely in that house. Then why did she marry me???
Still remembered when my mother rejected Myung Soo's proposal. The words from my mother were like a loud slap to her. Whereas in the past when Seokjin was not present in our lives, my mother already considered him worthy of her own daughter-in-law.
“ Do you want to propose to my son?!” the sound of my mother breaking filled the silence in the living room that time.
Myung Soo nodded.
“ Although I am not rich, but I am sure can make Hye Sun happy and will not lack anything.”
Myung Soo knelt down in front of my parents. He looked down and begged her to marry me. He really doesn't care about his pride.
“ Happy? Happiness requires money, while I know you still have trouble with money too right?” said my mother ketus.
He can't remember if all of his sizable debts were repaid by Myung Soo. I felt guilty for my mother's attitude at the time. And I still love Myung Soo.
“ You marry Seokjin, the money is a lot so you won't worry about falling poor.”
“ Then what about Myung Soo?”
“ Leave him. Simple right?!”
“ I don't want. I'll leave this house if mom keeps forcing me to marry someone else.”
“ Good, go. Then when you come home, you'll only see your mother's body in this house.”
His threats made me approve of the marriage. My mother never jokes about her. Once he tried to commit suicide because my father was taken out of his company and our family's debt was growing. Then he tried to commit suicide because he was confused about what to pay the debt.
And that's where Myung Soo came to help our family.
“ Just use this money.” Myung Soo handed me a savings book.
“ But this is your savings.”
“ Yes this is my savings to apply for you, but it looks like your mother needs more. And again, lately I've noticed you've always been moody. It makes me very sad.” He slipped the savings book into my hand.
🐾🐾
I'll buy a fresh fish and some radishes for me to make kimchi. I haven't cooked in a long time, but I haven't forgotten how to cook.
Then a middle-aged mother seemed to accidentally push me because the time market was very crowded.
“ Cwesonghamnida.” He said without looking at my face.
That face looks familiar to me. She is Myung Soo's mother!!! I ran and caught up with him.
“ Aneonghaseo eommoni?!” my broom.
“ Eommoni?!” he answered, looking at my face strangely.
He seems to have forgotten me.
“ Me, Shin Hye Sun?! that- Myung Soo...” I had a bit of trouble explaining to her.
He rolled his eyes and then a second later he seemed annoyed at me.
“ Oh you?? The woman who dumped my son?!! Who could marry someone else for the sake of treasure?!!! You are shameless!!” I didn't think he was angry at me and yelled at the market until everyone there looked at me weirdly.
I can't speak.
“ Your mother doesn't know herself either! After paying off all his debts, he married you to someone else. Just so you know, even I as his mother never asked Myung Soo for that kind of money!!”
“ Now she is going to marry her lover, so don't appear before her again.” It passes with overflowing emotions.
Leaving me along with the cynical gazes of those around me, I even heard people whispering saying that I was a cheap woman.
I cried and did not go shopping because the look of people there made me uncomfortable. Myung Soo's mother seems to deliberately expose my past and Myung Soo's. Is this what it feels like to be humiliated???
🐾
I heard the door open followed by footsteps, Myung Soo. I looked up at my face when he came and approached me with a face full of question marks. The hand held my cheek that was getting wet.
“ Why?” ask her gently.
“ Me, I met your mother while on the market.”
“ In the market?? You went to the market?”
I'm nodding.
“ I just want to buy fish and cook it for you. But on the way I accidentally met your mother. I greeted him and he was very angry when I saw him. I understand why he was angry, but he yelled at me in the market when there were a lot of people there.”
Myung Soo was silent.
“ After that my mom didn't say anything, did she?”
“ No.”
“ Thank goodness then. If he finds out you're divorced and you're here with me. Maybe my mom's gonna be so pissed at us both. He already likes Sarang and hopes if he will become his daughter-in-law.”
Myung Soo's words were sharper than his mother's. It will definitely be very difficult for me to get Myung Soo back if his mother already likes Sarang very much.
Myung Soo walked over and turned on the room lights, I hugged him from behind.
“ Don't go, I beg.” I hugged him tightly from behind.
“ Can't be like this. My mom would have suspected if I hadn't come home tonight, especially after seeing you last night. You want us to get caught fast???” Myung Soo let go of my embrace.
“ But, I don't want to be alone.”
“ I told you I couldn't.”
“ Then, accompany me to sleep.” I begged him to last hope he would grant it.
“ Alright. But please don't be like this. You just confuse me.”
Myung Soo is with me,. He sat on the lip of the bed and looked at his cell phone. It was obvious that he was sending a message to Sarang. And I don't like it!

POV Nests
I was in a cosmetic shop. I tried a lipstick. I usually come with Ji Eun. But this time I have to go alone because he is very busy with his work.
He must immediately complete all his duties before handing over to another manager. Ji Eun is really going to be out of the agency. Even I saw all the stuff in the room he had already sorted out. Maybe he'll move in for a few more days.
I'm still thinking about my nightmare this afternoon. Why did I suddenly dream of Kangjun? Have I been thinking too much lately. Uh! Can't do. I can't be like this.
Bruk!!
“ Sorry?!” a woman hit me and apologized in English.
When I turned my head, she was Soo Ah!!! I met that cunning woman here. What's he doing here?! In a shop for commoners like me. I mean, he's very rich and has a lot of money. Why did he go here?
I looked down and pretended not to see it.
“ Looks like we've met ya?” he followed me behind.
I obviously didn't want to deal with him.
“ Yes right. You're Kangjun's manager's friend, right?” she asked, but her eyes on me looked down on me.
I'm nodding.
“ You... It has nothing to do with Kangjun right?” ask again.
“ We are just friends.”
“ Really??? Friends?? There is no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman. But since you've answered like that I shouldn't worry.”
“ Just relax. I already have a fiancee.” My speech.
“ I'll go first, excuse me.” I left without buying anything there.
Soo Ah was watching me from behind, seen from the glass entrance of the store. His eyes were like a threat.
Is this the meaning of my nightmare this afternoon?
