23 - Why Did I Love Him?

Minseo reached the cafe, wore an apron and started doing her work.

"Minseo, why are you late today?" A girl asked, who also works with her.

"I woke up late." Minseo sighed.

After a few hours, a guy entered the cafe It was Woobin. Minseo greeted him.

"Oh Minseo ahh! Do you work here?" He asked.

She nodded with a smile.

Woobin said,"Minseo come nah.. sit with me."

"But I have taken my breakfast."

"I have not asked you to eat. Sit with me until I finish my food." Minseo sat infront of him.

"By the way your husband is so rude.." he said while putting a piece of food in his mouth.

"I know... I apologise for his behaviour." She lowered her face.

"Yaahh.. Why? No need... I am not upset for that."Woobin said while eating. "Actually you know Minseo, he was jealous when I was talking with you. And this was because he loves you sooo... muchhh... that is why he can't see you with other guys. Minseo aahh you really got a very good husband." He chuckled.

She smiled a little and tried to keep smiling. Then he finished eating and paid the amount.

"Okay Minseo bye...."

She waved her hands and bade him goodbye.

Time rolled, Minseo was going home early. She didn't call Junwoo because she wanted to go alone. She took her seat in the bus and was heading to home. She needed sleep.

She noticed that an old woman was sitting next to her. She softly smiled at Minseo.

"How are you dear?" The old woman asked.

Minseo got confused because she didn't know her. She said,"I.. I am fine but... sorry I can't recognise you."

"Because you have not met me, but I saw you." The lady said.

She was the same old lady whom Haneul met before. But Minseo was sleeping at that time, that is why she didn't know her, but she was known to the lady.

"Maybe!" Minseo replied, curving her lips a little.

The lady asked,"Dear, you seemed quite sad. Are you going through something?"

"No I am okay."

The old lady glanced down. At first Minseo didn't know what she was staring but she realised that it was her ring."You are married. You look quite young!",she asked Minseo.

"Yeah I am married." Minseo nodded.

"Pretty.. You are pretty..."

After the short conversation, both of them stayed silent. The bus braked at a stop. Minseo got out from the bus. There was an old man standing, waiting for someone. The old lady also came out.

The old man quickly took the bags from the lady,"You are tired. Give me the bags, I will carry them to home."

"Oh I can.." But the old man took them for her. They seemed like they were in their 60's and 70's. They were looking cute.

Minseo was looking at them. The lady smiled and asked,"Is something wrong dear?"

Minseo smiled back at her and nervously chuckled,"Not really, it's just that you guys seem like a real cute couple."

"Real Couple?," The woman said.

"I.. I am sorry. That's not what I meant.." Minseo became nervous.

She chuckled and said with a calm voice, "It's okay, no worries..."

Minseo said,"You both are looking happy."

She gave a soft gaze to her,"When you marry someone, it's all promises and compromises. But if we want to love, we must learn to be happy with each other."

Minseo weakly smiled as she tried to hide her sad face.

"Bye dear! We have to go now."

"Bye! Take care..."

They bade goodbye to each other.

Minseo was walking along the streets. Those words kept crawling in her mind. It was difficult because she had just forgave him but she didn't forget anything. She was not happy.

After few minutes she reached and opened the door. Junwoo was sitting on the couch.

"Oh Minseo you arrived early today. You should have call me, I will go to get you." Junwoo said.

"It's okay Junwoo." Minseo said coldly. "Are you hungry?" She asked as she poured some water in a glass.

"No I am okay. You?" He replied.

She nodded,"I think I am also good."

Minseo lowered her gaze as she drank her glass and put it down. She walked herself outside and Junwoo followed her without hesitation.

Junwoo was curious to know about what was in her mind. She let out a slight chuckle but he didn't find anything funny.

She spoke,"Once an elderly woman told me that marriage is just promises and compromises. But... if we want love from each other, we must learn to be happy."

She turned around and face him with a frown... a frown that was trying to hide.

"What are you trying to say Minseo?" Junwoo asked curiously.

"You never wanted love from the beginning, right?" She asked.

Junwoo felt quite unsettled by her response. He tried to hide his sad face. He asked trying to keep his voice steady,"Then you must have really hated me..."

Minseo spoke,"No, it's not true... In the beginning, I didn't know why I liked you in the first, even after you beat me, said hurtful words to me and...."

Junwoo didn't know what she was really feeling, but she had suffered enough. His face remained cold. He gave her silence, maybe it was best for her.

She looked at him which showed a visible hurt look. She softly took a breath and spoke,"So maybe we should make things more official."

"What?" Junwoo asked.

And Minseo held something towards him.

"Let's get divorce...."
