“Joohyun-ah, I’m sorry”, Yonghwa said. She keeps in silent mode, she just stared on the window, she doesn’t know what into him now.

“Joohyun-ah, I’m sorry to hurt you, I deserved punishment. Please talk to me, I don’t get it what you want if you keep your mouth sealed like this”, he continued.

“Just drive carefully, Yonghwa-ssi.. I don't want to get into an accident.” She coldly replied to him. Since they are married, Joohyun called him Yonghwa Oppa, but now he became a stranger again to her. They keep silent until they reach Seo’s family house.

“Ladies, let’s eat.. Yonghwa ya , come here… “ Jisub calls them.

Yonghwa sat beside Joohyun in the dining room. They began to eat and talk about everything, most of them Miyoung and Dahyun talk about Joohyun habit and her being daddy’s girl. They missed that moment so much.

“Joohyun, Yonghwa, I will continue my business in Busan. This weekend me, Dahyun and Minho will move to Busan”, Jisub tries to explain his plan to his children. Joohyun face suddenly changed.

“Why? I want to go to Busan with you, daddy..”, Joohyun pouted. Yonghwa never sees her pouted like that, she is so cute.

“Joohyun-ah, you must stay here, how about your study? Your husband?” Her daddy answered.

“Joohyun-ah, Busan is still in Korea, if you miss us, you can visit us, right Yonghwa?” Dahyun tries to convince her sister.

“Yes, Dahyun noona is right, babe. We can visit them, I’ll accompany you”, he hugged her tap her shoulder. Joohyun feels irritated with him beside her, but she must act like a normal couple in front of her family.

“Yonghwa-ya, thank you for protecting Joohyun”, Seo jisub said that with a wide smile.

“No problem Dad, she is my wife. I’ll always protect her, I promise” Yonghwa replied to his father in law statement.

“Joohyunie, don’t be sad like that, you prohibited to cry, you will ruin your makeup my baby angel”, Miyoung tries to comfort her.

“Yonghwa-ya, Joohyun-ah, please stay here for tonight, both of you can stay on Joohyun’s old room.”, Dahyun said.

“Oh,, Yonghwa-oppa has a meeting next morning, unnie.. But, I think I’m free tomorrow, Oppa, you can go home, I’ll sleep here for tonight, how?” Joohyun replied to Dahyun and she smiles then looked at Yonghwa.

“Isn’t it ok for you Yonghwa-ya? Joohyun sleepover here?”, Miyoung questioned Him.

“No, I mean. I’ll stay here for tonight Noona, Dad. I think I can’t sleep without Joohyun”, Yonghwa stated, he smiles to Joohyun.

Joohyun thought,” This man must be crazy, why suddenly he can’t sleep without me. Keep calm Joohyun-ah,, you’re with your family,”

“HAHAHA… This love birds so cute, right daddy??” Miyoung teased them then they all laughed except Joohyun and Yonghwa realized it. After dinner, Joohyun wanted to help his sister but they told her to take a rest, guided him to her room, and accompanied her husband. She couldn’t say anything just nodded and follow what her sisters told to her. She guided Yonghwa to her room.

IN JOOHYUN’S ROOM.

Yonghwa scanned the whole room, wow it look like a princess room. This room is not too big if he compares to his room in Jung’s mansion, but it's not as small as their room in the apartment.

“What do you want, Yonghwa-si?”, Joohyun asked him.

“I just want to say sorry, sorry for everything I did to you.”, He replied with a soft gaze. He guided her to sat on that pink Sofa. They sat on the Sofa, Joohyun stared at him.

“Joohyun-ah, I’m sorry, I hurt you”, he holds her hand, but Joohyun pulls out his hand.

“I never wanted your fortune or anything from you. Remember on the wedding night, you left me alone to be with your beloved girlfriend. To be honest, I’m disappointed but I don’t mad at you, I can imagine that if I was in her position. Last night?? I told you, it was hurt, I pleaded to you, to your deaf ear. You didn’t listen to me, you ruin everything, I hate you Yonghwa-si.”She poured her feelings then she cried.

“Joohyun-ah, don’t cry, please. I know it was my bad. What am I supposed to do for you to forgive me?” Yonghwa heart hurts when he saw her crying like that.

“You know? Even until now, I’m scared when I see you, I’m afraid of you. You asked me how to forgive you, I don’t know. I don’t know, Oppa.” She replied softly but still crying. Yonghwa wanted to ask her everything on his mind like why she is working, why she never uses his money, why she agreed to marry him, but not now, he just listening to her now.

Joohyun took bath first and she wore her old pajamas, she already removed her make-up, everyone can see the bruise near her lips now. Yonghwa still in the bathroom, she is ready to sleep on her sofa. Joohyun felt so tired today, so she easily falls asleep on her sofa, she covers herself with the blanket, hugged her own body.

Yonghwa entered the room, he saw Joohyun sleep, he went directly near the sofa. He watched her wife sleep soundlessly, he saw the bruise near her lips. His heart is so hurt to see her like this, If only another man had hurt her, he would have beaten him, but it was himself. He can't wake Joohyun. He lifted Joohyun and moved her to bed. Yonghwa sleeps on Sofa while Joohyun sleeps on her bed. On The morning, Yonghwa decided to leave her, he said to his in-law family that he has an important meeting, and he must go first while Joohyun still sleeping.
