Chapter Thirtyfive
Blooming Days of Autumn“You will remember me, I promise you.”
That phrase I stated a yesterday was making me empty, not because I am feeling uneasy at this very moment but I am worried about her. I can feel her warmth beside me but I am getting anxious the time she will wake up. I suddenly have a wrong feeling within me, like I am getting on a war with no training.
I was taken aback when I feel somebody is staring at me, and it is Shinhye. “You woke up early,” I whispered. My wife is staring blankly at me – again. I begin move my hand to feel her face. “How’s your sleep?” I smiled.
