Chapter 24

3 Years Without Love, With Happiness

"SinB, are you free on tomorrow?" Yuju ask with her eyes still focus on the computer in front her 

"Tomorrow is Sunday right? Why? Did you want me to come with you to somewhere?" SinB ask while looking at Yuju reflection through the mirror in front her 

"Yup, wanna come?"

"Hmm, tomorrow is Sunday and I want to sleeping all day. This week make all my body in sore" SinB said while massaging her arms

"Really? Hmm ok" Yuju sounds a bit disappointed, SinB can see Yuju pouting before turning her head to her computer screen 

"Where did you wanna go tomorrow by the way?" SinB apply some night lotion on her arms

"Eunha want to meet me tomorrow, we've been apart for about 15 years already. So we have to catch up with everything" SinB stop applying her lotion and look at Yuju through the mirror with sad expression but since Yuju was too focus on the screen, she couldn't see it 

"Uhm, why did you want me to come along?" SinB ask slowly 

"Since tomorrow is Sunday and the maids wanna take a leave. You'll be bored staying at home alone, that's why I'm asking you to come along. But seems like you wanna take a sleep, I guess it's fine" 

'She's willing asking me to come with her just because she don't want me to get bored? What should I do?' SinB ask herself 

"Uhm, what if I change my mind?"

"You wanna come?" Yuju sounds so brightening 

"Yup. But only if Umji come along"

"Umji? Ok, I'll tell Eunha to bring her" with that, Yuju take her phone and dial Eunha numbers

 

 

After has finish talks to Eunha, Yuju turn off her computer and get ready for her sleep. She's fixing their bed before land herself on it

SinB and her has shared a same bed since a year ago when Yuju keep on complaining about her backache. Feeling pity on her, SinB decided to ask Yuju to join her for sleep on the bed

"SinB ah, you're pretty already. Stop staring that mirror. Come and join me here, on this comfy bed" 

"Aish, just sleep if you want unnie. There's pimple on my cheek" SinB said while lean in more closer to that mirror to get a clear view 

"Pimple is normal" Yuju said with lazy tone 

"No, it's not. Not all pimple are the same, there some of them can bringing a disease to our face" 

"Just pinch it tomorrow. Let's sleep now, I'm sleepy" Yuju almost whining but stop when SinB clicking her tongue and shot her a glare 

When she has sure that Yuju will not disturbing her anymore. SinB turn her head to look at that mirror back. While she's trying to pinch her small pimple suddenly the light turn off 

"Choi Yuna!!" SinB get up from her chair and walks slowly toward the bed, want to take the lights remote control from Yuju 

Since it's too dark, SinB has to walks sliwly and carefully. Yuju turn off all the light, including the bathroom lamp. SinB hands are wandering looking for something to hold

While roaming her hands in everywhere, suddenly she feel someone was gripping her wrists before pull her to lie on the bed. She know it was Yuju

"Yah! Let me go! Give me that remote back" SinB struggling when Yuju hold tight her hands 

"No, sleep now" Yuju close her eyes as her hands still holding tight SinB hands 

"Just sleep alone. I'll join you later" SinB try to releasing her wrist from Yuju hold 

"No, this bed is cold without you" Yuju then softly letting go her grip around SinB wrist then hug SinB waist 

SinB who heard that word immediately feel froze. She just let Yuju hugging her waist, just like another night. They only share the same bed and sometimes Yuju hands will unconsciously made it way around SinB waist. It's not like SinB mind about it 

Then the next thing she heard is just a small snore from the taller girl that was hugging her. Since she's shorter than Yuju, she's lying on the same level as Yuju chest. To get more clear view of Yuju face, SinB move herself a bit to meet Yuju closed eyes

Her hand slowly move to Yuju cheek. She land her warm palm there for a minute before playing with Yuju bang. She's tuck Yuju hair before her ear before slowly tracing her index finger along Yuju bridge nose 

"I'm sorry. I know doing this without your permission is disallowed action but I just can't help it. I only can have a chance to be this close to you when you're in sleep" SinB whisper to sleeping Yuju 

"May I ask you something?" SinB just earn a soft snore "Is there any empty spot in your heart for me to fill? I've always having a dream to filing your heart with my love, even just a bit. But please, let me know if there spot for me, I really need it"

Unconsciously SinB tears making it way out. SinB didn't bother to wipe it away. Because that's her routine almost every night, whenever Yuju being this close to her. Their closeness not only giving SinB a temporary happiness but also a suffers, knowing that Yuju is not fully hers

Without thinking twice, SinB lean in more closer to Yuju face then land a soft peck on the bridge of Yuju nose. She just decide to get her sleep, she's snuggle into Yuju arms, lying there under Yuju chin. Hugging tight her tall wife, didn't want to let her go, not for this night at least 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day, 

 

"Unnie, can I order now?" Umji ask in bored tone 

"Wait for them to come first" Eunha said make her sister huffing, she don't want to come along actually but Eunha was insisted her to come

Eunha was eagerly want Umji to come was because Yuju said if Umji is not here with them today, she'll cancel their date today. Yes, Eunha think today as a date 

 

"Eunha, Umji. Sorry we're late" Yuju said as soon as she has arrived at the cafe

"It's ok, we're not waiting for too long tho" Eunha chuckling a bit and Yuju just smile 

"SinB, sit" Yuju patting a vacant seat next to her, SinB just nodding because usually Yuju will pull the chair for her

'She just met Miss Eunha and forget me already' SinB curse in her mind 

"Hi Miss" SinB greet her trainer, she has to respect Eunha however 

"Hello SinB" Eunha smile warmly 

"May I take your order?" A waiter come with her notepad to write down their order 

"Hurm, two plate of seafood spaghetti with orange juice for me and my sister here. Yuju, what do you want?" Eunha ask as her eyes wandering on the menu 

"Uhm, what do you think SinB? What should we eat?"

"Cheesy spiral is your favorite right?" SinB said earn a nod from Yuju 

"Cheesy spiral? I thought you like half cook lamb chop" Eunha said earn an excited look from Yuju 

"Oh my! You still remember it?"

"Of course! You always ordered it whenever we're out for our date" Eunha winking 

"Ok, I'll take that one. Miss, half cook lamb chop and ice tea for me. SinB?"

"Hmm? Oh, uhm. Chicken grill and lemon ice" SinB said after she's wake from her thought 

'So she choose to order Miss Eunha suggestions? She never tell me about her liking a half cook lamb chop before' SinB sighing in disappointed, nobody caught it accept for Umji who suspecting something 

"So, Eunha where has you been these past years huh? You're gone with the wind without any sign" 

"Haha, actually I'm going to China. Remember that day? The day where I suppose to meet you at that playground?" Of course Yuju remember it, that day was the last day she met Eunha before that woman gone 

"Yea, I remember it. Why you didn't come on that day?"

"Actually my parents are passed away on that day. About that meet, actually I wanna tell you that I maybe have to move to Japan since my mother is sick and Umji still kid that time so nobody with her that time" Eunha unconsciously crying when remember about her parents "But it's turn out to be my parents got involved in an accident while on their way to hospital. They're passed away on that place" Umji patting Eunha back softly, feeling pity for her sister 

"I'm sorry for your lost Eunha ah" Yuju reaching out for Eunha hand that rest on the table 

"Hmm" Eunha can't say a word due to her tears, she just let Yuju softly rubbing her back hand. It somehow make she feel calm 

'Even after 15 years, your touch still feel the same Yuju ah' Eunha said in her mind while her eyes are drown in Yuju soft gaze 

SinB who is being the audience just throw her gaze at outside the window glass next to her. The scenery from outside is far away more calm then the scenery in the that cafe. Next to her. In front of her eyes. She understand that Eunha need to be calm by someone but her heart didn't understand it. It's keep on hurting 

'Her eyes. It's still warm, like before' Yuju said in her mind, still didn't break the eye contact. If that waiter didn't come with their food, they maybe will be in staring contest for more longer 

"Enjoy the food" they all thanks to that waiter

Yuju look at her side and saw SinB just looking down on her food. She's poke SinB arm, earn a questions look from that girl

"Cut this for me?" Yuju grinning innocently, SinB nodding and smile softly. At least Yuju still aware about her presence 

"Yuju,let me do it for you. SinB, it's ok. I'll do it. I'm the one who always cut this before, she just know how to order it but not cut it" Eunha taking Yuju plate from SinB hand 

"Oh, she always ask you to do it for her?" SinB try to sounds she's not hurting 

"Everytime. She love eating this but dislike to cut it. I sometimes will feeding her too. Yuju, say ahh" Eunha put that lamb in front Yuju mouth after has done cutting it into the small pieces 

"What?" Yuju seems startled with Eunha action, she taking a glance at SinB and saw that girl look nowhere but to her own food "Ahh" she's open , not wanting to make Eunha feel offence 

If tears from heart can be come out, that cafe will definitely full and flooded with SinB heart tears. She just can hold her eyes from betraying her by letting out it waters. Her grip on the knife and fork getting tighter, knife and fork are the one who help her to endure the pain that she feel 

That's what have SinB faced along the meeting between Eunha and Yuju. If Umji is not there, she bet that both of them will unaware about her presence there

SinB was regretting her decision about wanting to come with Yuju today. She thought that if she just staying at home, she'll be hurt by just imagining Eunha with Yuju but she's wrong. Seeing this scene in front of her is more hurt than a thing 

Meanwhile Yuju and Eunha just laughing on everything they chat. Most of it are from their past. Where that time, SinB still nowhere and nobody to Yuju 

"Hey! Do you remember it? That pepero game?" Eunha ask between her laugh 

"Pepero? Oh yea, that. Are you kidding with me? Of course I remember it. That's the thing I'll never try to forget" Yuju also laughing, adding another pain for SinB who try to just ignoring those two presence next to her 

"I was wondering, what will happen if Sowon and Yerin aren't there on that time" 

"We'll be kissing for real of course" Yuju exclaim then laughing 

'Kissing for real?' Eunha unconsciously blush

*Tang! 

Everyone that sit at that table got startled when SinB's fork and knife suddenly fell on her plate. Three of them look at SinB with concern, Yuju is the most concern among them 

"SinB? What's wrong?" Yuju ask while try to take a look at SinB hand 

"Nothing, this knife and fork just slip off from my grip" SinB smiling like a child 

"Be careful next time SinB" Eunha said softly 

"Yea, she's always like this. Since Hoshi gave her that love letter. Ouch!" Umji yelp in pain when SinB kick her leg under the table 

"Love letter?" Yuju ask in serious but Eunha held her hand

"Aish, it's normal for girl like SinB to have a fan Yuju ah. Beside I know that Hoshi. He's a good guy" Eunha patting Yuju hand softly 

 

 

 

The ride heading back to their mansion just fill with silent. None both of them try to starts a conversation. SinB just look at the outside of Yuju window car. Her heart still boiling with the scene that happened before they got into the car 

Yuju want to talk to SinB about that thing but she's afraid she'll make SinB angry. So she choose to just stay silent and focusly on the road 

Right after Yuju stop her car in the garage, SinB immediately get out from the car then storming into the house. Leaving Yuju confusedly with her action 

"SinB" Yuju call for SinB who is running to upstairs but just got ignore 

"SinB ah! Aish! What's wrong with this girl" Yuju fastening her pace following SinB 

"SinB, can you tell me why are you acting this way?" Yuju asking for outside the bathroom, SinB is in there 

"Yah! Don't just quiet. Ok, I'm sorry if I make you angry but can you please tell me what have I done? SinB?" Yuju almost begging and the door swung open, but SinB just give her an angry look before just pass by her

"Wait. What wrong with you?" Yuju held SinB arm to make she's stop from walking 

"Ask yourself" SinB answer coldly 

"How can I ask myself if you didn't tell me about it? Can you please don't make me mad?" Yuju has tired being patients all the time

"Make you mad? What about you? Did you even thinking when you make me mad?" SinB turn around and look at Yuju with hurt eyes 

"Ok, I'm sorry but can you please tell me why you're mad?"

"I'm mad because of you and Eunha!!" SinB shouting in her frustration 

"Huh? But why?"

"Why? Because you treated her really well and sweet. I sometimes don't know if you guys are just a friends or a couple. You forgot about me when you with her. You're ignoring me all the time while we at that cafe!" SinB scream a bit 

"What? SinB ah, Eunha is just my friend. I didn't meet her for so long time already. Of course we have a lot of things to talk about. You should be understanding" Yuju unconsciously mad 

"I've try! But I can't! You should be more understanding too, I'm your wife. Who's wife willing to watch their partner having a skinship with other woman?!" SinB can't stop her tears anymore 

"What are you saying? When I said she just a friend that mean she just a friend. Stop making the situation look like I'm cheating on you, beside why you so serious about this? It's not like we're marry because of-" Yuju stop talking, cursing herself for saying that's way, she can saw SinB already burst into the tears

"Because of what? Love?" SinB continue Yuju words with chuckle bitterly 

"SinB, I'm sorry" Yuju try to reaching out for SinB hand but got yank by that girl 

"It's ok, you don't have to say sorry, you're right. I'm the one who should say sorry. I forgot where I'm standing just now. I forgot that we're happen just because of a piece of paper. I'm sorry" SinB turn away and was about to run away but stop when she felt Yuju want to follow her 

"Please don't. Don't follow me, it'll make me forgot where my place and where I'm standing again. Beside,I'm not going anywhere. Just will sleep in another room. I'll not leaving till the right date" SinB said calmly but her tone clearly shown she's hurting and broken 

Yuju was left in their room with full of guilty. Seeing and hearing SinB words, make she feel she's the most useless person in this world. She was questioning herself, why she let Eunha kiss her cheek just now. Even though she know, SinB is there. Why she's so stupid by not aware about SinB feeling 

 

SinB close the door behind her slowly. She lock it, afraid that Yuju will come and get in. She isn't ready to meet that woman yet. She's lay her body on the bed, crying on the pillow. This is her first time having a heartbroken, it's really hurt when Yuju said about their marriage

She's somehow was thinking. If only she didn't follow Yuju to meet Eunha today, maybe she'll not fight with Yuju. If only she doesn't fell in love on that woman, maybe she'll not feel hurt. If only she didn't meet Yuju, maybe she'll not facing this hurt and pain

Chapter 76: KAYATA BRUH. What a ing rollercoaster. HAHAHAHAHA There’s been more happening in the past 10 chapters than the entire story lmfao I thank author-nim for making this as Sinju friendly as possible so I did not have to sacrifice my phone’s life. I’m sad that this isn’t complete and is in such a precarious situation. It’s not quite a cliff-hanger but its in a position where there’s very clearly many things being set up and Sinju is in even more danger.

Deadass this story has gone from a simple fluffy plot to an actual Korean Drama. Everything is there from the vengeful mother-in-law who hates the main love interest+mom has a huge debilitating illness cliche, the main lead is a rich chaebol heir+looks good in everything+has the height for soft cuddles/spooning love interest+gives piggyback rides, the main love interest who’s poor+super cute & lovable, the other love interest who comes in out of nowhere but falls in love with the other side-lead (Yerin). God this is literally a K-drama.

I’m living for this let me just say. If ya ever come back to this author-nim I would be hella hyped and Ik I’m not alone when I say this.

Chapter 68: I just want to say that I will actually throw my phone away if SinB accepts Jackson’s advances in the next chapter. An advanced warning because if I don’t leave another comment that probably means that my phone has been obliterated. I have faith in Hwang Eunbi as a person and as Yuju’s lover. I have faith in their marriage however it may be contested. If Yuju can say no to her past feelings for Eunha, SinB can say no to Jackson Wang’s face. I swear to God Hwang Eunbi. Remember who you’ve left behind in Korea. Remember Yuju’s love and Arin’s affection for you. Remember your god damned family. Don’t throw away the 3 years you’ve spent together. So help me God.

Sinju is crushing my heart lately. This Apple comeback has been amazing. I came across this story like a dream and its been amazing so far. Ngl. I enjoyed every single second I’ve spent reading this. I’m putting this all out so I won’t have to write whilst in rage that I will probably feel should some things happen. Just remember that the past 68 chapters have been amazing and I loved them all. Wish me luck for the next few chapters.
