Chapter 4: The past.

“Why don’t you just trust me?” Yonghwa asked, looking at his wife in disbelief.

“What’s there to trust more, Yonghwa?” Shinhye answered, in all air, trying to stop the tears from falling. “Everything is written there already.”

“So you trust this tabloid more than your own husband?” this was their nth conversation since the scandal about Yonghwa and the new actress surfaced on the entertainment news.

Shinhye was aware with this kind of things when she decided to marry the guy in front of him. Yonghwa was a rookie from an entertainment agency. A hot rookie with a dream of becoming a rock star.

A hot playboy rookie.

Rumors spread across the nation when photos between Yonghwa and a new actress holding hands while having a stroll along Han River under the moonlight after filming of their drama were released from a famous tabloid in entertainment industry. Their newly marriage life was cracking day by day ever since. Shinhye never thought it would be this tough for her.

Shinhye was taken back with her husband’s reaction. He was comparing her with the new actress. She couldn’t believe with what she had just heard.

“Jung Yong Hwa ssi. Please. Get out from this house. I don’t want to see your face again,” Shinhye said with her cold expression before she left Yonghwa alone in the living hall, this time with no tears from her eyes, but only regret.

“Eomma!” Haru kept pulling her mother’s jacket for the nth time.
