The Substitute Wife

CHAPTER 33

Most of the time, things do not work out the way one wants.

Rose Jang  felt her stomach cramping and bloated when she had only had one third of the cup of hot water.

She knew it was a sign of menstrual cramps.

After that idea flashed in her head, she started to feel a sharp pain in her stomach five minutes later.

The pain didn't last long, but it hurt her so much that her hands started to shake. Hot water splashed from the cup onto her arms.

Rosè Jang didn't care about the burning pain from her arms at all. She immediately put her cup down and grabbed a pillow to hug it to her stomach.

She started to feel the throbbing and aching pain not long after she hugged the pillow. The pain was dull, but sharp at times.

Rosè Jang was in so much pain that she curled up on the sofa with her eyes closed. She stayed in that position for a long time. Without knowing how much time had passed, she heard the doorbell ringing.

Rosè Jang slowly opened her eyes and took two deep breaths before she stood up with her teeth clenched hard to give her strength. She walked to the door.

It was Min Yoongi with a plastic bag in his hand. "Ms. Yoon, here is your dress."

Rosè Jang curled up her lips. She didn't reach her hand out to take the bag until she felt a round of pain disappearing. She said in a low pitch, "Thank you."

"Ms. Yoon, I told Mr. Park I was here. You can change into the dress first. Mr. Park will come up to pick you up soon," Min Yoongi said.

"Ok." Rosè Jang wore a smile on her face. She calmly and gently closed door. She leaned herself on the door and covered her lower abdomen with her hands and started to breath heavily.

Rosè Jang took the dress to the restroom after she felt less abdomen pain. She walked out of the restroom after she changed into the dress and combed her slightly messy hair.

She sat on the edge of the bed and pressed hard on her lower abdomen. She rested with her eyes closed for a few minutes before the doorbell rang again.

She knew it was Park Jimin.

Rosè Jang swallowed her saliva and grabbed her purse to walk to the door on her weak legs.

She didn't immediately open the door. Instead, she took a look at herself in the mirror.

She didn't look too bad because of her makeup. There was only sweat on her forehead.

She pulled a tissue from the tissue box to wipe the sweat away. She made sure she looked all right before she opened the door.

It might have been because it had taken a while for Rosè Jang to open the door after the doorbell rang. but Park Jimin looked a little annoyed.

Min Yoongi had bought her a long dress with sleeves. The look on Park Jimin's face had relaxed a bit after he had checked her from top to bottom to make sure her skin didn't show. He said calmly, "Let's go," before he turned around and led the way to the elevator.

As Rosè Jang walked, her lower abdomen hurt more. She was afraid Park Jimin would notice something unusual. She was trying her best to look elegant, so she walked a little slowly.

This time, Park Jimin was unexpectedly patient. He didn't rush her or show any trace of impatience. He pressed the button in the elevator, and when he saw she had still not arrived as the door was about to close, he had even reached his hand out to prevent the door from closing. After she walked into the elevator, he followed her and stepped into it.
