Chapter 65
by GideonYundo’s face darkened at Hyewan’s words. Min-suk’s opposition was far from over. The only reason Yundo had even been allowed out today was because he was Haetsal’s father.
Though he was grateful she’d even agreed to see him, he knew he’d have to accept her decision if she refused to forgive him in the end.
Losing his appetite, Yundo set his chopsticks down. Hyewan spoke softly, hoping he would understand Min-suk’s perspective.
“Imagine if our Haetsal had been used just like I was.”
“I’d kill them all, then myself.”
The mere thought was horrifying. When he imagined it was his own child, he felt even more acutely how terribly Hyewan and her family had treated him.
“Don’t say things like that. Just… try to understand my mother.”
“Don’t say that. I understand how your mother feels. That’s why I can’t even ask for her forgiveness.”
Yundo spoke with earnest sincerity.
“The moment I ask for forgiveness, I’m handing the power to decide my fate over to her. I think that’s incredibly irresponsible. It would only cause her more pain. I can’t do it because I’m too sorry.”
“Alright, enough with that. Let’s eat. You said you were hungry.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Don’t be like that. Eat. Good adults don’t leave food on their plates.”
“You leave food on yours, too.”
“Exactly. I’m not a good person, and I have no intention of becoming one. So you be the good person, Cha Yundo.”
“You’re mean, Ko Hyewan.”
“I’m glad you noticed. Eat before I get even meaner.”
Faced with Hyewan’s refusal to back down, Yundo finally yielded and played the part of the perfect gentleman.
All day—no, ever since the accident—he had been the very picture of chivalry. Even while they enjoyed the private hot spring, he hadn’t dared to lift a finger.
But the moment they returned to their room, their bodies completely relaxed from the soak, he started fussing.
“The floor is heated, but your back might ache from sleeping on it. Should we have gone with the bedded room? I shouldn’t have booked the ondol room.”
His worrying continued, even after she told him it was fine and to stop fussing. Hyewan let out a sigh.
“Yundo, we’re Korean. No matter how spoiled we’ve become by beds, we can survive one night on a heated floor.”
“Well, as long as you’re sure.”
Still, Yundo laid out two thick floor mattresses for Hyewan to lie on. Finally, they turned off the lights and lay down side by side. Moonlight filtered in through the window, serving as a nightlight.
“Yundo, are you asleep?”
“Yeah.”
Hyewan turned on her side to face him. At that, he squeezed his eyes shut.
“Are you practicing abstinence these days?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I asked because your behavior has been so… prim and proper lately.”
“I decided to restrain myself because I’m too much of an animal.”
Hyewan, wrapped in a thick blanket pulled up to her chest, snorted. “You think I’d believe that?”
Since his resolve was being criticized, Yundo also turned on his side to face her. “Why wouldn’t you believe me?”
“Because men are creatures of instinct.”
“Not me,” Yundo replied firmly, rolling onto his back and closing his eyes.
“Cha Yundo. You were acting this way in the bath earlier, too. You’ve really made up your mind, haven’t you?”
“Since you know, just shut up and go to sleep.”
“Hmph.”
“They said I need to focus on recovery for at least six months.”
“This is the fourth month. So you’re saying we can’t have sex until May?”
“Yeah.”
He was resolute. What a stubborn man.
“If your mind is made up, I guess I have no choice. But aren’t you going to ask me how I feel about it? I don’t even know if I’ll want to have sex with you in May.”
At that, Yundo rolled over to face her again.
“So, you won’t?”
“I don’t know.”
Hyewan ran her toes down his calf.
“Ko Hyewan, I told you to stop messing with me and just go to sleep.”
“Then you move over.”
The moment the words left her lips, Yundo shifted away. Hyewan followed, repeating the same movement. The rough feel of his calf hair against her skin was pleasant. He shot up, grabbing her wrists, his voice laced with frustration.
“Are you really going to keep doing this?”
“Yes.”
Yundo wanted to devour Hyewan as she looked at him with those pretty eyes. No, I can’t. He let go of her and lay back down, closing his eyes.
“I’m not doing this.”
“Then I’ll do it.”
“You really…!”
“Hey, don’t push me. My leg hasn’t fully healed yet.”
His face flushed crimson, but he couldn’t budge an inch.
“Sweetheart,” Hyewan cooed, her voice dripping with the same sweetness she’d used back when they were happy.
“Hyewan, I’m really trying to hold back. Don’t do this.”
“Do you have any idea how hard I’m working to bend your joint? It feels like a bear is tearing my leg apart.”
The key was to gradually increase the joint’s range of motion, but the treatment was excruciating—far worse than she’d imagined. They said older patients or those sensitive to pain often gave up halfway through, leaving their joints permanently stiff.
“Let’s eat spicy chicken feet when we get back to Seoul.”
Hyewan’s eyes snapped wide.
“Cha Yundo, are you completely missing the point here?”
Then, her expression shifted again, and she gave him a sly, cat-like smile.
“Fine. I get it. Then let’s just hold hands and go to sleep.”
Yundo was absolutely miserable.
“Ko Hyewan.”
“Give me your hand, Yundo. Unless you want to go back to Seoul right now.”
“My hand.”
Yundo held out his hand like a trained dog. This was a game he was destined to lose from the start.
“If you knew how embarrassed I am right now, you wouldn’t be doing this.”
Hyewan’s cheeks were indeed flushed a deep crimson.
Unable to hold back any longer, he kissed her. As he bit and sucked her plump lips, the desire he’d been suppressing exploded.
But his expression darkened when he saw the surgical scar on her leg. Hyewan noticed his change in mood. The accident hadn’t been Yundo’s fault. He was a victim too, yet he’d had to live with the lifelong guilt of knowing Hyewan had been injured and their baby had died because of him. Damn that Chairwoman Kang!
“I’m only wearing bikinis,” she said. “So you have to get the scar removal surgery for me.”
“Of course.”
His voice was dark.
He slid his hand between her legs, groping at her panties. Hyewan’s eyebrows trembled.
“Were your panties always this small?”
“You really have a sharp eye, Cha Yundo.”
“Are you trying to kill me?”
“Not that far, but I did want to torment you.”
“Hyewan, if I’m in pain, you’ll suffer too.”
Why does a smart woman like her not know that?
He pulled her panties aside, stroking the hot, damp flesh. Then, for some reason, he withdrew his hand and traced her lips with his index finger. Hyewan’s brown eyes widened in confusion.
“Suck it.”
Hyewan’s face flushed crimson.
You’re so pretty, Ko Hyewan. To think you’d be so surprised by just those words.
You have no idea how much I love you. I’d rip my own heart out for you. If it meant you’d be happy, I’d even congratulate you if you fell for another man. I know I’d wither away and die watching you, but as long as you’re happy, nothing else matters.
As the sparkle in his eyes faded into a dark, heavy void, Hyewan gently took his index finger in her hand.
“Are you sulking because I won’t suck it?”
She didn’t know why the thought had suddenly, impulsively struck her. But as her brown eyes warmed with a newfound tenderness, his hidden feelings were laid bare. Yet, he didn’t want to say a word. He refused to burden her with any more weight.
“Yeah, my feelings are hurt,” he replied, keeping his tone light and teasing.
“How are you wearing your hurt so obviously?”
“I guess getting a year older has made me more sentimental.”
Hyewan shot him a prim glance, but then bit down on his index finger with his bright red lips. The sturdy finger was like a lollipop. He sucked it with a wet, slurping sound, his eyes curving into a seductive smile.
Ridiculously, Yundo’s troubled heart vanished, replaced by a blooming heat.
The wetness inside Hyewan’s mouth felt like a cock. Even the way his cheeks hollowed as he sucked was erotic. Yundo’s aroused penis swelled further, the tip beginning to leak.
