Inha woke up once to use the bathroom and waddled inside with half-lidded eyes. She saw her half-naked self in the mirror and blushed at what transpired between her and Wonwoo a few hours ago and felt some happiness after knowing that he didn't feel disgusted by her body. She remembered the way he made her feel and smiled, thanking the universe in gratitude for giving her a husband like Wonwoo. She came out and picked his black shirt that was lying around and wore it because she felt cold and didn't have any of her clothes in his room. Then, she climbed on the bed which made Wonwoo stir slightly from his sleep but Inha hugged him back to put him back to sleep, now not shy in showing how much he means to her.
Wonwoo woke up a few hours later to find Inha wrapped around him. The events that happened the night before flashed across his mind as he tucked a stray hair from her face and smiled as she slept soundly. He didn't want to wake her up and sneakily got up from the bed to tiptoe across the room to freshen up.
An hour later, Inha woke up to the smell of fresh pancakes and coffee but squinted her eyes when she saw that Wonwoo was not on the bed. She could hear some voices from outside the room and so she gingerly opened the door to check who was outside. She saw her husband's naked broad back as he was sitting on the bar stool facing the kitchen talking very seriously with Mingyu who was flipping some pancakes.
"Wonwoo" she called him, remembering to leave out the honorifics as she blushed harder remembering his playful threat to undress her completely the previous night. He didn't hear her calling out to him as he was still continuing his conversation with Mingyu.
"Wonwoo Oppa" she hissed, now, getting her husband's attention who came towards the slightly opened room with a smile on his face.
"Good morning! Did you sleep well Inha-ya?" He asked, stepping inside the room. Inha looked down as he was only wearing the black slacks he had worn yesterday which snugly hugged his slender waist, his abs now in full view for her to see in the morning light that shone inside the room.
"Yes yes, good morning" she said hurriedly which made Wonwoo chuckle. "Can you perhaps bring me my sweatpants or leggings from my room please?" She asked him, as she didn't want to leave the room wearing only his shirt as Mingyu was outside.
"Sure!" He said, kissing her forehead all of a sudden and left the room to bring her something to cover her lower body. Once she finished dressing she left the room to say a quick good morning to Mingyu before rushing towards her room to freshen up to start her day. When she came back, Mingyu was about to leave.
"I hope you like the pancakes Inha. And oh, Sarang Nuna asked me to tell you that you are free to join her and FeiFei to attend their Pilates class today" he said
"Pilates?" She asked him confused.
"I don't know, you ask her yourself. She asked me to convey and I did. That's all I know" he said, scratching his head.
"At this rate, I guarantee Sarang is starting a 'wives' club," Wonwoo laughed. "Do you wanna go?" He asked Inha who was deeply thinking about joining the other two wives of the members.
"I think I will. Thanks Mingyu for conveying this and for the breakfast" she said smiling at the big guy
"Not at all, chingu-ya" he said, patting her head and leaving through the balcony stairs that reached their dorm.
"Come on, let's eat" Wonwoo said and sat down to devour the pancakes.
"You didn't have to call Mingyu to cook breakfast for us. He must have been busy as is. I could have cooked if you had woken me up" she whined cutely as she sat down. But she was glad someone cooked for her as she was extremely tired and fatigued.
"You barely ate anything last night. So I figured you must be hungry" he said, loading up her plate with pancakes, sausages and eggs. Inha stilled at that when she realized how concerned her husband was.
"I am" she mumbled as she stabbed her pancake with her fork. The couple then ate their breakfast in silence. Inha wondered what her husband was thinking as she looked up at him, who had a serious expression on his face.
"What happened? Is everything okay?" She asked him, worriedly.
"Yes, yes. I was just spacing out" he said as he snapped out of his thoughts. Inha looked at him with a slight suspicion as she knew something was up.
"Inha, from now onwards please tell me whenever you go to your dad's place. Okay?" he said, holding her hands.
"I will, Wonwoo," she said.
The couple then finished up with breakfast and got ready for their day. While taking a shower, the conversation that he had with Mingyu played in his mind.
"Mingyu-ya. I…" he stuttered, not really knowing what to say as he formulated his thoughts. "I want to protect Inha, but I don't know how" he said, not sure on how or where to start this conversation. Mingyu, who was making the batter for pancakes, stopped his actions as he saw Wonwoo's troubled expression.
"What do you mean hyung? Protect Inha from what, who?" He asked, confused.
"From her stepmother and half-sister," Wonwoo said. "They… they've hurt her. They still do actually" he said finally heaving a sigh of relief after letting everything out of his chest to Mingyu. Wonwoo didn't call Mingyu just to make breakfast for them. He called him instead to seek some solid advice on the matter.
"You mean like, they've hit her?" Mingyu asked, his voice in a whisper, not really believing what Wonwoo was saying about his sweet and kind wife.
"Burnt her skin"
Mingyu took a sharp breath. "Tell me what you know about them," he said, his eyes turning cold and intimidating. Mingyu's father was the CEO of an investment based company which meant that he might know something about other conglomerates.
"I don't know much, Mingyu. Just that her father owns KN Pharmaceuticals. I really don't know much about her stepmother and half-sister. Inha doesn't talk about them to me" he said.
"KN Pharmaceuticals rings a bell. I'll ask my dad about their company. However , I didn't know that Inha was a chaebol. But are we going after the father also?" Mingyu asked Wonwoo.
"She doesn't behave like one though" Wonwoo spoke fondly of his wife who had zero cells in her body that reflected that she was a Chaebol. "And no, we are not going after the father. He is useless, but he doesn't harm Inha"
"Do you think her stepmom abused her because she is the firstborn daughter from her husband's first wife? Maybe she is insecure that Inha might inherit everything and so tortured her so that she would renounce her inheritance herself out of fear?" Mingyu asked a valid doubt which made Wonwoo think.
"Could be"
"We might have to take Ayat Nuna's help also if we want to do some digging around, hyung. Do you want me to talk to her?" Mingyu asked him.
"No, I'll talk to her myself. I'll talk to her today"
Wonwoo sighed as he stopped the shower from running. He caught hold of his wedding ring that hung from his neck and held it close to his chest.
"I'll protect you, Inha-ya. I'll make sure you won't have to go through bad things ever in your life" he said to himself which sounded almost like a promise to protect Inha and their marriage.
