Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 99

#99. Call me selfish
2024.05.10.

　
It would have been natural to get used to going home alone, but I still felt empty and lonely.

Of course, before I met Lee Hyun, I went to work and home alone.

I was still living in the villa that Lee Hyun had lent me for a while, but now I had to leave that place.

Breaking up meant that many things in my daily life would change.

“I should stop by the real estate office tomorrow.”

I had to properly prepare for a new job and find a new house.

‘It’s not bad to throw away everything I have and start anew like this.’

Yerin tried to suppress her feelings of anxiety as she thought that way.

When Seo Yoon came into the secretary’s office today, her heart really pounded.

There was a big difference between what she knew in her head and what she saw with her own eyes.

It wasn’t very pleasant to see Lee Hyun and Seo Yoon sitting in the same space.

‘I have to leave quickly.’

For her own sake, and for Lee Hyun’s sake. She

had to quickly disappear from Lee Hyun’s side so that he could properly prepare for their engagement.

I also didn’t have the confidence to watch Seo-yoon and Lee Hyun become close.

Thinking about it made me weep again.

I wasn’t the type to have such big emotional ups and downs, but a breakup made people like that.

And Lee Hyun’s cold attitude, which was so different from usual, also hurt my heart.

I knew that his warm eyes wouldn’t always be focused on me, but it was different when I experienced it myself.

“Ha.”

Ye-rin’s legs gave out as she entered the villa, and she collapsed on the bench.

The emotions she had been holding back since the company were overflowing at their limit.

As she was trying to catch her breath and calm her mind,

she heard an unwelcome voice from beside her.

“Han Ye-rin, how did you get such a nice villa?” She

slowly turned her head and saw Hee-jun standing there, wondering how he had found out about this place.

“Isn’t it hard to live here on your salary? The rent here is hard even for me.”

She didn’t even have the strength to say anything back to Hee-jun.

“Why did you come?”

“I heard you broke up with Director Chae-hyun.”

At that sound, Yerin’s eyelids fluttered weakly.

“I heard from Kwak Seo-yoon. I told you to end it a long time ago.”

Heejun took a step closer to Yerin and began to speak.

“He wasn’t a man who suited you anyway. So why are you struggling and coming to me? I’ll treat you better, Yerin.” Just as

Heejun was about to reach out to Yerin, tears flowed down her pale, ivory-colored cheeks, and at the same time, raindrops began to fall one by one. “Han Yerin, are you crying?” Heejun was startled when he found Yerin shedding tears out of nowhere and took a step back. “Why are you crying? I didn’t say anything today.” Heejun was completely mistaken in thinking that Yerin was crying because he was hurt by what he had said. The rain gradually got stronger. Even as she was completely soaked in the pouring rain, Yerin just kept on shedding tears. As if he wanted to pour out all his remaining feelings into the rain. Now, the rain was blocking his vision to the point where he couldn’t see ahead. “Han Ye-rin, don’t stay here like this. Get up.” When Hee-jun tried to grab Ye-rin’s arm, a black shadow suddenly appeared over Ye-rin’s head and the rain stopped. No, the pouring rain continued, but only where Ye-rin was, the rain didn’t flow. Ye-rin slowly raised her head and belatedly noticed the man who had put the umbrella over her head, and her eyes widened. “Chief Chae-hyun? You two broke up, right? Why did you come here again?” Hee-jun sighed deeply as if he was fed up. Ye-rin tilted her umbrella toward him and stared at Lee-hyun, who was completely soaked in the rain. ‘I’m seeing things now.’ I thought to myself. “Han Ye-rin, are you okay?” But the moment she heard the soft bass, she knew that the person in front of her was not an illusion but the real Lee Hyun. The tears that had been flowing endlessly stopped immediately. “Can you get up?” Lee Hyun reached out his hand, but Yerin did not take it. Seeing that, Heejun, who was soaked in water, snickered and, thinking it was the right time, reached out his hand to Yerin. “Yerin, you must be cold. Come with me.”

But Yerin turned away from that hand coldly.

“Both of you, go back.”

She no longer had the strength to talk to anyone.

Yerin started walking and Heejun was about to follow.

Lee Hyun blocked her with his broad shoulders.

The gaze from above was so overwhelming that Heejun couldn’t move as if his whole body was tied up with rope.

“We’re broken up, but we’re going to start over again.”

“Huh. Don’t make me laugh. You said you were getting engaged to Kwak Seoyoon!”

“Who?”

“Huh?”

Lee Hyun raised his eyebrows as if he had never done that before, and Heejun let out a breath as if he was dumbfounded.

“There’s no room for you to interfere. Not ever.”

After saying that, Lee Hyun left Heejun alone and quickly walked away.

Yerin was getting hit by the heavy rain on her delicate body.

Lee Hyun, who had been running quickly, put the umbrella over her head again.

Yerin’s steps slowly slowed down.

“Chief, this consideration is now inconvenient.”

“Is that so?”

At those words, Lee Hyun threw the umbrella he was holding onto the ground.

The two of them were now getting drenched in the rain that was falling from the sky.

Ye Rin widened her eyes in surprise.

If she said it was inconvenient, she thought Lee Hyun would just leave her behind and go straight to the villa with the umbrella.

Why are they both getting drenched in this rain?

Ye Rin was about to pick up the umbrella again, wondering what would happen if she caught a cold.

Lee Hyun gently grabbed her wrist and helped her up.

Ye Rin’s vision was filled with Lee Hyun’s face, still looking good despite being soaked in the rain.

“Han Ye Rin, I sent you off to live well, but how would I feel if you were struggling like this?”

Ye Rin’s brown eyes, filled with tears, moved aimlessly.

“If you keep showing me this kind of behavior, I won’t want to let you go.”

“… … .”

“I can’t.”

Lee Hyun quickly took off the jacket he was wearing and draped it over Ye Rin’s shoulders.

Of course, that was useless since she was soaked in rainwater.

“Han Ye-rin, even if you cry, cry in front of me.”

Lee Hyun took a step closer and wrapped one hand around Ye-rin’s waist.

“You can’t help it even if you call me selfish. I really don’t think I can last another day without Han Ye-rin.”

Ye-rin pushed his chest with both arms to escape Lee Hyun’s embrace.

Ye-rin spat out her words to Lee Hyun, who didn’t budge.

“I think I told you clearly. I never really liked the chief… .”

“That doesn’t matter.”

Ye-rin’s eyelashes fluttered again at those words.

“I’ll try again. So that you like me.”

“… .”

“So if you didn’t hate me and wanted to leave.”

Lee Hyun’s eyes didn’t waver, as if he knew everything.

“I wish you would come back.”

Lee Hyun raised one hand and covered Ye-rin’s face.

He wanted to block the rainwater even a little.

“I can’t do anything alone anymore. Wherever I go, all I see are happy memories of spending time with Han Ye-rin.”

Everywhere in the house, everywhere in the company.

And wherever I go, all

I can think about is memories of being with Ye-rin. No matter what I eat, I just want to be with Ye-rin.

“How can you make a fool of someone and just leave?”

Ye-rin slowly shook her head.

“The chief is going to get engaged, so it’s right for us to end it here.”

“Do you really believe that?”

“Yes?”

“That’s a lie I made to tie up that woman so that Kwak Seo-yoon wouldn’t touch you anymore.”

Ye-rin made a face of disbelief at the firm voice.

Lee Hyun hugged the delicate Ye-rin tightly in his arms.

Her heart was beating so fast in Lee Hyun’s arms that all her efforts to empty her heart seemed meaningless.

“I can’t stand the thought of another guy standing next to Han Ye-rin. Is Han Ye-rin really okay?”

Ye-rin was the same.

“Tell me Han Ye-rin’s true feelings. Please.”

Lee Hyun’s voice, which he added at the end, was trembling slightly.

As if he was desperately waiting for Ye-rin’s true feelings.

There was also a slight trembling in the hand that was holding Ye-rin as if it was going to crumble.

It was quite shocking that a man who had never known tension in his entire life was trembling.

After hesitating for a moment, Yerin spoke her truth in a small voice.

“Of course I… … I don’t want to.”

Only after hearing that did Lee Hyun smile faintly.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I wouldn’t marry anyone else but you.”

“… … .”

“Don’t you know that better than anyone else, Han Yerin?”

There was a time when she had hoped that she might spend a long, or even a lifetime with Lee Hyun.

Of course, the chances of that hope becoming reality were very low.

As if he had read Yerin’s thoughts, Lee Hyun spoke.

“The person I want to take responsibility for and protect is you, Han Yerin.”

Lee Hyun slowly wiped the raindrops running down Yerin’s face with his thumb.

“Even if I say no, I have no intention of letting you go. So let’s marry me.”

Yerin slowly pulled her face away and raised her head.

“What did you just say… … .”

“Let’s get married.”

Yerin’s lips parted slightly in surprise.

“I didn’t mean to say that. I had no choice because I thought you would really run away if I didn’t tell you this story today.”

It was a word that was blurted out without the usual proposal ring while drenched in rain, but Lee Hyun was desperate that much.
