Tucked In Both Hearts
18. Fail

In the middle of the night, I missed hearing Jeff's voice talking. He opened his eyes slowly, looking for the source of the voice that was in front of him. The man was lying on the couch with his cell phone in his ear.

"Yes you have rested, must have cape out the long journey. Tomorrow I'm home and maybe I'll use it like this when I meet you. So get ready we'll be back like we used to see each other every night."

Although he had just woken up from his sleep, Missing's ears could still be used to hear every word that came out of Jeff's mouth very clearly.

Every night? So they meet every night? What the hell are they doing? Oh my God, how could I forget this? Yesterday they stayed in the same hotel and did they also stay in one room? Is that as far as my husband and the Queen are concerned? Looks like I'll have to find out.

Too bad, Miss could not hear the conversation again more and more deeply, because Jeff ended the conversation right after Miss listening to his last sentence. It's okay, at least he can get a speck of light to find out the extent of the Queen and Jeff's relationship that he should have been finding out since the beginning of the marriage.

The next day, they came home with a fake romance that had been set by Jeff in such a way. It is too short for someone who honeymooned for only two days, but for them two days it felt long and boring.

"Why are your legs, Rin?" Ms. Merlin asked, because only the man knew the couple had reached home.

"Fall, Ma. The road is not careful, it's okay, it's just a sprain. Some days it healed too. We're going straight upstairs, yeah, Ma. Let me rest too Miss. Papa hasn't come home yet?"

"Not yet, maybe in a minute. Yes, rest there, see Papa at dinner. Careful the way."

They continued on the road with the same position as when getting out of the car. The position where Jeff leads his wife slowly and looks affectionate. Jeff is very good if you have to pretend let alone argue someone.

"I think you can walk on your own, there's no one. I don't have to pretend. You walk alone to the room. All practice, I'm not your baby sitter to lead you anywhere."

Jeff covered the side yard of the house as his hand reached into his pocket and pulled out the phone from there. He made a gesture as if he was receiving a call. Jeff's cunning brain is always smooth if asked to cheat circumstances.

Not wanting to be called spoiled, Miss trying to walk by limping up the stairs. The kiss on her lips could not lie, the woman was holding back the pain as her sprained leg climbed the stairs. However, he did not want to give up, he continued walking towards the room so that he could immediately break down. The pain he felt now was not comparable to the heartache incised by Jeff.

"Bak misses coming home? Why feet? Where's Jeff?" Jeon who was neat and about to leave the house passed by his brother-in-law.

"Yes, just got home. Nothing, his legs sprained. If it is done for a few days it also heals. I continued on, yes. Take a break."

Jeon just nodded while watching Miss's legs look a little swollen. His gaze he circulated in all directions that he could not find Jeff in any corner.

This adds to Jeon's list of suspicions about his own brother. From the beginning of the marriage and the events of the night in which Jeff took a portrait of himself with Miss, he had already been suspicious that something was planned by his brother. Especially if he remembers his chat with Miss that night.

Jeon stepped back after seeing Miss entering the room. However, his steps again stopped when at the bottom of the stairs. Accidentally the corner of his net saw the figure of Jeff who stood back to the glass window. Jeon narrowed his eyes to see what his brother was doing.

Call someone? Why would I want to know who's on the phone? Who is more important than taking his wife to the room in a limp?

Jeon eavesdropped, he knew this was impolite, but somehow he still couldn't accept Jeff's attitude a month ago. Knowing his wife was both with him in the kitchen, instead of reprimanding him, but instead taking pictures and showing them to his parents. Isn't that a very suspicious thing? Why would Jeff do that if he didn't have a specific purpose.

"Yes, Honey. I'll try tonight for your apartment, yeah. I'll close it first."

Jeon hid behind the door, holding his breath as much as he could as Jeff walked back into the house. He thought Jeff wasn't changing that fast.

As promised Jeff this afternoon to the lover. He walked quietly while looking around, making sure it was safe. In complete darkness, he walked without the help of any lighting. He walked as slowly and as quietly as possible so that no one would hear his steps.

Jeff was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief after his hand managed to grab the main doorknob. Immediately he turned the key to open the door and in the next second, the square object was successfully opened, but at the same time the living room light also turned on. Jeff stopped continuing his steps, not even just his steps that felt stopped, but his heartbeat also felt not functioning properly.

"Where are you going?"

Knowing that the person who caught him was not the father, Jeff immediately twisted his body.

"Oh I think who. It's none of your business where I'm going. Why are you so happy to take care of other people's business? Just take care of yourself and think about how to return the favor to my parents. Just focus on those two things, never mind my business." Jeff turned his body back to get out of the house.

"Just what I'm doing is how I return the favor to your parents. I don't want your parents to be sad to see their son behave like this."

"You can return the favor in your own way without involving me. Anyway what are you doing here?"

"waiting this. I know Brother is still in touch with the Queen, right? Brother has managed to make Papa believe, but why is it now that Brother has broken him? At least if you do not care about Missing, Brother can think about how Mama feels with Papa if you know this. They must be sad, brother. The only biological child, the only hope, betrayed them."

"You can save that talk for someone else. Don't give me any advice that could damage my ears."

"What are you doing here?"

The brothers immediately turned their heads towards the source of the sound. And the eyes of both are equally bulging.
