chapter eleven
Double-dealing11.
Later that night, Nora drove all the way to Bucheon by herself with such a heavy hearts, chest always moving up and down gasping for air everytime her tears escaped from the corner of her eyes. Same thing goes for Mongryong. The dog also couldn't stop barking as the boy noticed that the woman wasn't in her best condition. Nora took Mongryong with her cause he followed her rushing outside the house after the incident. A good boy indeed.
She was repeatedly honked by other drivers for inconsistent driving. Sometimes such a thing crossed her mind that she could just twisting the wheel on de day she drove alone from the bar, five in the morning. She was planning to tell everything she knew about her husband and Yerin into his family including Baekwoo. After twenty minutes drive, she arrived and parked her car before quickly stepped out with Mongryong already on her chest. Her tears was no longer flowing but her cheeks was still damp.
She knocked against the door softly before the door opened a second later. Showing his mother's shocked face as she realized it was Nora and the little boy. "Oh my God, Nora? What happened? Are you with Baekhyun?" Baekhyun's mother pulling her into a short hug as they went further into the house.
"No— I drove alone" Nora answered softly. Fingers clutching so tightly against the mug she was holding. His mother was quick to made her a hot tea so Nora could relax a bit when she noticed something was off from her.
Baekhyun's mother sat in front of right where she sit. Patiently waiting for the woman to loosen up a bit as her face showed so much concern. "Ba—Baekhyun—"
She took a deep breath before she lets everything out. She cried again caused his mother to rose up from her seat, standing beside the younger woman trying to comfort her by her arms up and down slowly. They talked about everything. How Baekhyun suddenly left her with uncertainty, how Yerin trying to act so damn innocent in front of the family.
Nora thought she knows about everything, but it turned out there is still one thing she didn't know. Her tears could no longer comes out when her ears caught his mother's words that seemed to really painful. "Yerin was already pregnant on the day her wedding with Baekwoo happened."
On the day Baekhyun made those promises and kissed her on the lips in front of everyone, things like this would never crossed her mind even a bit. She only dreaming about good things on her marriage. Having a kid, and loving each other until death splits them apart. there was one thing she didn't know.
The woman suddenly feel numb, she couldn't feel any emotions anymore. Nora went to bed with such a heavy hearts. She was completely awake. She didn't feel like sleeping. The words stuck in her head. Its feel like someone keep whispering the words over and over again. She was afraid of the reality. She actually didn't care if two of the young bride, Yerin and Baekwoo, having ual before marriage but she was afraid of the possibility, when it turned out it was Baekhyun's baby.
The night went rough because she couldn't sleep at all. And now on Saturday morning, the woman sat up on the driver seat waiting for someone while enjoying the sound of light rain poured against the window. Nora was back already from Bucheon. She left Mongryong at his mother's place cause she didn't planning to get back home today.
Get bored after spending thirty minutes inside the car, she decided to checked her phone and as expected, there was a bunch of messages, voice message, and missed calls from Baekhyun. She wouldn't let the man found out about her location again so she turned off the gps on the night she ran away.
