Chapter 4
I Am The First Wife II.
Reality is reality. Every night, sitting in the dark was like a routine to me. At night, I would open the sliding door and let the cold air flowed into my room. I liked the cool and clean air. It felt like I was breathing different air from here. Tonight was different. The moon glistened and the stars twinkled in the dark blue sky. Magnificient as always.
Sometimes, I thought it would be the best if I asked for divorce but when I thought about it again, I felt I should not do it. What if the immature Hyosung was irritating and Xiumin got mad and they fought and they decided to separate and what would happen to Xiumin? I could not let that happen. I must stay.
