NOVEL NEXT Chapter 130: Yes, I finished it
"Young Hwa, I don't think that it's a good idea." Kyuri shakes her head. Even if he was plotted against, he still slept with Yeon Seo. She can't just start acting as his wife suddenly. It's too complicated for her to deal with. "I want to file the divorce. I will talk to Little Hae about us. If you want, you can see her anytime. But, continuing this is too hard for me."
"You are only thinking about yourself." He can't help but feel angry. "Little Hae is too young to understand this. Why won't you try honestly once? It was working out before. We were good..."
Before the catastrophe that happened yesterday. "Love doesn't happen in one day for some people. It grows gradually with time. You already feel something for me. Can you deny that?"
She's silent, confused by his words. At this moment, she can't figure out. Young Hwa pats her head. She's always overthinking, keeping it all inside her and only telling the decisions. "We are already married. Does it hurt to try? Once something is gone, it's gone. What can still be saved, can be saved if one tries."
What's broken is broken. It couldn't be saved when it broke with Kang Si An. With Young Hwa, things have always been different. This mistake wasn't his fault. Again, she becomes weak while thinking about Little Hae. Her daughter might have Kang Si An now. Before, it was only Young Hwa who gave that child the love of the father.
"I will never drink again." He swears. "I will never get plotted against by women. You will be the only one. I swear."
If it was Kang Si An who made this type of mistake, she would have never forgiven him. Kyuri realizes how partial she has been. If you love someone more, you have higher expectations. If they betray or break your trust, the heartbreak is more painful.
That's how she knows that she doesn't love Young Hwa. She has always known it. She started this for the sake of Little Hae. They are already married now.
"One more time." He implores her. "Even if it doesn't work out, we can remain married for Little Hae. I want to have a family with you and her. I love both of you. I can't imagine living without both of you."
At the same time, his phone rings. Her mind clears up. If things do not work out after they moved to his house, how will it affect her daughter? Then, living as a married couple even after things don't work out... He says this today. Will he say the same tomorrow? She has been living for a long time. She knows one thing. Humans are fickle. There is nothing permanent in the world.
When he finishes the call, his face is ashen.
"What's wrong?" She asks him with a low voice.
"Jae Kyung is dead." He glances at her solemnly. "My aunt wants to investigate you."
They have captured her entering and leaving the room in the video. She left the door open. That's how someone else found him after 30 minutes.
She doesn't feel anything. Nothing like how she felt when Kang Si An was hurt by her. It bothers her a lot. "Let them investigate. It's not like anyone can prove that I killed him. He's not the first living I killed as self-defense."
Her cold voice sends tremours in his body. A human is dead and she's not batting her eyes. He has never seen Kyuri like this. When it was Kang Si An, she didn't act this cold. He composes himself and smiles at her stiffly. "I will talk to her. They can't prove that you hurt him."
It's her who has the wounds, not the other way around. They found nothing in the medical tests.
If she didn't use her ability, she would have been... Young Hwa doesn't want to think. He gives her an assuring look and leaves the house to talk to his aunt. He will arrange a lawyer just in case.
Feeling sluggish, she lies down on the bed. The day keeps getting harder. She killed Jae Kyung. She has seen the look in Young Hwa's eyes. For a second, he was scared of her. Perhaps, her lack of empathy scared him more than the fact that she killed Jae Kyung. Nevertheless, Jae Kyung was his cousin.
She goes to see Little Hae who couldn't finish the puzzle yet. She picks up the piece that she has hidden from her before she left earlier and places it on the part, completing the picture of a sunset on the sea.
"Mommy, you finished it." She claps merrily.
"Yes, I finished it." Kyuri kisses her daughter's forehead.
What can be saved, can be saved. What can't be saved, can't be saved. Things with Young Hwa have reached its end. She might have been swayed by Young Hwa's words, but Jae Kyung's death has sealed the fate of their relationship. She's an anomaly. Young Hwa made her realize that.
