Regret ✿⁠ Park Jihoon ✓

07

The upbeat song spilled out from the speaker, couples were scattered all over the corner, enjoying themselves to escape the reality for a moment.

In front of the bar, a couple of familiar couples were seen.

Park Jihoon and Kim Hana

He felt a pair of eyes were glued on him when he looked at the side, where was the stare shooting out " What? "

" Just wondering what you have told your wife about being here "

A corner of his lips lifted up. He sipped the wine down his throat, letting the burn sensation satisfy his needs " Staying midnight for work, of course " Jihoon uttered as he shrugged smugly.

Hana raised her eyebrows in amazement, whirling the wine in his" You already gave her the same excuses for three days and she still believes you? "

" The president's title makes it easy for me "

She pulled down the corner of her lips and bopped her head " Taking advantage of difficulties, I see "

Jihoon clicked his tongue, rubbed his hand on the pants and got on his feet " I need to clear my mind " he said. Hana nodded again " Dance? " she questioned.

" Yep " He dropped a word, ready to get his feet away.

Before she pulled his arm, making him throw his head back to her " Remember, don't make out or build a drunk relationship "

Jihoon threw his head away and tched under his breath " I know "

Hana removed her hand as she side-eyed him " I know  " She said back in an annoying tone " AND YOU STILL DO IT "

Jihoon gazed away, Hana didn't know where he was looking but she knew  there was nothing " I will not, okay. I have a wife "

Hana scrunched her face and pouted " aww so sweet " she uttered sarcastically and twisted her eyeballs inward

" But you are still here for girls, anyway "

The clock ticked along the time. It shows the morning was 50 minutes before 4 a.m. Soonhee's eyes shot open as she felt her throat unusually dry. She propped up herself with her hands to get up and she scooted over the edge of the bed.

Soonhee put her legs on the floor and glanced at the clock. She decided to go get some water in the kitchen.  Slowly, she got her butt off and walked out of the room and ambled down the stairs, stepping one by one, not to strip herself as she was between conscious and unconscious.

As her foot stepped on the floor, her heart skipped a beat when she felt like she accidentally kicked a body. Soonhee stepped back slowly as her hand made a reach for the switch. Soonhee flicked it on and the living room was shining brightly. Soonhee blinked her eyes rapidly to adjust to the sudden bright of the light.

Slowly, she looked down at her feet, making her frown.

" Jihoon? " She called out after she got him laid on his stomach on the floor. Soonhee crouched down. A scent swelled into her nose which she immediately pinched her nose and frowned due to the strong scent. He reeks of alcohol. But who drove him home? Soonhee wondered. He would not be able to drive in this condition.

Soonhee touched his shoulder " Jihoon " She raised up her voice, getting no response from the named person " Ji " She called again, starting to shake his body. Jihoon groaned and turned his body to face her. His face was all red, showing that he was still drunk. Jihoon open his eyes in half to steal a glance at her " Oh? Who is this? " He asked in a playful tone. 

Soonhee ignored his question and pulled his arm to make him sit on his butt before he yanked it and cupped her face, bringing it closer to his face " Suni? My wife? " Soonhee's eyes went round out of shock. My wife? He acknowledges me as his wife? She got on earth when Jihoon suddenly pinched her cheeks " Aigo, so cute "

Soonhee could feel her face getting hot. Probably flushed herself red. She immediately reached for his hands and took them away from her face " Come on, you are drunk " Soonhee stood up, trying to pull him up.

 " Ah, where are you going? " Jihoon whined, pulling her back and starting to kick his feet. Without letting go of his hands, Soonhee clamped her eyes shut and sighed. This gonna be a long night.

Soonhee crouched down to catch his eyes. The drowsiness screamed out of Jihoon's pupils" Are you sleepy? " She asked. Jihoon nodded in answer as Soonhee threw another question " Don't your body ache after sleep on the floor? " 

Jihoon outstretched his neck to the left and right " It's hurt " he paused, letting go of Soonhee's left hand and stroking his left shoulder " A lot " Soonhee's lips turned into a smile when she saw his lips pursing out. Never know her cold husband is such a cutie

She got back on her feet and summoned " Let's go "

Jihoon looked up at her with his eyes half-closed " Where? " 

" To the room. Sleeping on the bed "

Jihoon immediately got on his feet with the help of Soonhee. He threw his hand across Soonhee's shoulder. That was when Soonhee regretted simping over him just now

" You will sleep with me right,  Ara? "

The sun struck as it began to rise, showing the new day for the rest of human beings.

The orange strike peeked between the curtain, shooting right into Jihoon's face. His eyelids hitched, and so were his fingers.

His eyes fluttered open as he blinked rapidly to adjust his eyes to the brightness. Jihoon groaned as he wrapped his forehead with his fingers, pressing it softly as the rush of dizziness built up in his head.

Probably because of the amount of alcohol he took last night.

Jihoon jerked his head up and looked at the clock on the side table. He turned his head to look at the ceiling and brushed the sleepiness off his eyes. He looked back at the clock. Just to make sure if he was seeing it right.

12:39 p.m.

" Shit " was the first word he muttered as soon as he woke up. He jumped off the bed and turned the doorknob down, swinging it open. He ran down to the living room when his ears caught the voice of the television.

" Soonhee! " He exclaimed, making the said person turn to face him " Why don't you wake me up? "

Soonhee rolled her eyes " Ask yourself " She simply answered, looking back at the television and folding her arms across her chest.

" What if I have an important client to meet? "

" Who will it be? Ara? " Soonhee questioned coldly

Jihoon's eyebrows knitted into a line.

" Don't worry, I already called Hao and asked for your schedule since you keep refusing to get up this morning and you have no important meeting " She said in a monotone, still not wanting to spare a glance at him

" Seeing how you passed out last night, you must have a headache.  I made you a hangover soup, go get it in the kitchen. Heat it up, I made it as soon as I woke up this morning. It's probably cold already " she added.

Jihoon froze in his place, watching her cold back. She was right, he could feel the back of his head throbbing. Somehow, he was drowned in guilt. He began to open his mouth, trying to explain " About Ara- "

" Forget about it. I don't care at all. We are in a contract marriage after all. No need to explain "

Soonhee said it softly. But Jihoon can hear the cynical tone in her voice. He bit his lower lips " Thank you, by the way. For the soup "

Still having her back on him, Soonhee rolled her eyes again " Stop talking and just eat "
