NOVEL NEXT Chapter 124: When I become old, gray, and wrinkly
Kang Si An stares at the closed door, wondering whether to knock and ask what's wrong with her. Is it wedding blues? She doesn't seem too happy about the wedding. She has been down recently. He can tell even if she hides it from the world. She acts around everyone, but he knows that something is bothering her.
What could it be? Is it Young Hwa's ex? He heard their conversation that day. Should he talk to Young Hwa?
Kang Si An shakes his head. She is marrying Young Hwa after three days. Everything will go well after the wedding. Young Hwa is seriously in love with her. She's also...
He looks at the door with longing. How many steps does he need to take and knock on that door? If he asks her to give him a chance again, will there be a miracle?
He turns around and gets Little Hae's doll. Miracles are impossible for him.
***
There are only 2 days left. Everything is going well. Kyuri's and Young Hwa's families are busy with the preparation. Nothing should go wrong at the last minute.
"2 days." Young Hwa beams at her. "Then, we will live together."
"We are already married." She laughs. "Why are you so excited?"
"Aren't you?" His eyes twinkle in delight. "I won't let you sleep for a second on our wedding night."
She blushes and looks away. "All men only think about one thing."
"And, women don't?" He holds her waist. "You don't think about it?"
"No, we think about how to stay slim while eating a lot of food," She tells him with a laugh.
Young Hwa chortles. "You don't have to stay slim. You eat as much as you want. You will always be pretty."
"That's what they say before they get married," Kyuri announces dramatically. "After I am old, wrinkly, and gray, are you sure that you would say the same thing?"
"I will." He plants a kiss on her forehead. "Don't run away from me when I become old, gray, and wrinkly."
"I will do my best," She tells him teasingly.
Young Hwa finds this side of her cute. Little by little, he's seeing more sides of her. It's a beginning.
***
At the evening, Young Hwa receives a call from Jae Kyung. He meets him at the bar. He's surprised to receive an urgent call.
"Why did you call me here?" Young Hwa asks him with furrowed brows.
"Brother, you are getting married. I want to have the drinks with you while you are still a bachelor."
Jae Kyung grins at him. "Don't tell me that you won't even drink with me now?"
Young Hwa sighs and takes a seat beside him. "Why does my bachelor party only includes you?"
"More people will arrive later." Jae Kyung looks at his phone. "Tell me how did you meet your beautiful wife."
Young Hwa doesn't think about it much. He starts telling him the story. Jae Kyung keeps pouring him drinks and listens to the story.
***
Kyuri receives a text from Young Hwa. She frowns slightly after reading the text. This doesn't sound like usual Young Hwa's behavior.
[Kyuri, can you pick me up? I am too drunk to drive. I am in room no. 1185 at B Hotel.]
When she calls his number, nobody picks up. "Is he already asleep?"
Perhaps, he had a little fun because of the wedding.
Little Hae is out with Kang Si An. She tells her mother that she's going out for a while. Kyuri hails a cab to the B hotel.
She knocks the room, but nobody answers her. She turns the knob and steps inside. The lights are off. "Young Hwa?"
The door is closed. Suddenly, the lights turn on. Jae Kyung is standing in front of her with a grin on his face. "Sister in law, you are here."
Kyuri gets the situation. Jae Kyung must have found some way to send that text. Young Hwa probably doesn't know anything about this.
"Why are you here?" She eyes him darkly. "Where's Young Hwa?"
"He's spending the night with Yeon Seo in the opposite room." Jae Kyung takes a step toward her, pealing the clothes on her body with his eyes. "You can see them for yourself later. They will take time, I think."
Kyuri narrows her eyes on him. "What do you want from me?"
"I am just curious." He places his hand on the curve of her waist. "What did Kang Si An and my cousin see in you? Are you that good?"
She slaps his face. "You know what this is for."
Jae Kyung is astonished. When she walks away from him toward the door, his expression turns ugly. He grabs her by her hair and tosses her toward the bed. Her head hits the corner of the bed. She clutches her head. Blood trickles down on her face.
"B*tch!" He snarls at her. "Why do you act all virtuous? I know what kind of woman you are. I heard everything from my cousin."
She doesn't know what Young Hwa told him. That's the least worry now. Her head is throbbing with pain. She clenches her fist. She needs to get out of this place.
"If you stop now, you will live," Kyuri warns him.
He laughs. It wouldn't be fun if she doesn't resist a little.
Jae Kyung jumps on her, grabbing her shoulder. She moves her face away before he could kiss her lips. He runs his tongue over her ear, wetting it with his saliva. He grabs her wrist before it could land on his face while laughing maniacally. She hears the sound of her clothes tearing. That's when she touches his temple with her other hand.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Jae Kyung screams in pain once before falling over her. She pushes him away, looking at him with disgust. Even if he dies or live, she wouldn't give a damn.
She stands in front of the opposite room. Thanks to her high hearing, she could hear the faint erotic moans coming from the room. She dials Young Hwa's number and hears the faint familiar ringtone.
She turns around on her heels and walks away.
