Please, Confess to Me

Chapter 2 : The Adorable Choco

Minji looked at Hanni's shocked expression and felt a touch of loss. Yes, they had just gotten married, but when an unfamiliar person suddenly appeared in your room at night, consternation and shock were normal reactions.

"It's been a long day, so you should go to bed early. I... I'll sleep in the guest room tonight." After saying this, Minji nodded to Hanni, then turned away, leaving the bedroom. It seemed that she had forgotten that this bedroom was rightly hers too, along with this new house.

Hanni finally seemed to have snapped out of her astonishment.

Boom!

She heard another thunderbolt, with its light passing through the heavy curtain a few moments later. The room's lightbulb couldn't help but flicker, the intense weather outside affecting it.

Hanni turned back to the windows and peeked past the curtains, looking out at the dark clouds, blurred by the rain splattering against the glass.

After a while, a determination flashed in Hanni's eyes. She pulled the floor-to-ceiling windows open, and rain immediately fell on her. Her first thought was that it was cold. Then she thought about it, since she felt the cold, did it mean she wasn't in a dream?

Hanni couldn't help but move forward a little more. She walked right up to the edge of the balcony and carefully stretched out her hand past the balcony roof, her palm up. The rain tonight was particularly heavy, as if the sky were leaking. The raindrops were caught by the strong wind and drenched her whole body.

"It's wet. My clothes are wet, and my hair is wet." Such a palpable sensation confused Hanni even more. Now she wondered, was it the wedding that was the dream, or was it the funeral?

Minji left her new bedroom and headed downstairs to the guest room. She had long considered this scenario before their wedding.

Minji had already moved most of her personal belongings into the guest room, while the master bedroom only contained a small number of her things. She didn't want to make Hanni uncomfortable by her sudden intrusion but hoped to let Hanni accept her presence little by little. Hence, the small number of personal items in the master bedroom.

Minji took a shower in the adjoining bathroom, then changed into a set of pajamas from the wardrobe. Somewhat uncomfortable, she pressed her aching temples.

Although the wedding had been done in a hurry, it was a marriage between the Kim and Pham families after all, so many guests still attended. Coupled with the fact that Minji was genuinely happy to be marrying Hanni, she drank a few more drinks than necessary during the wedding banquet. Enduring her dull headache, she went to the kitchen to find some water to drink.

Their new house was a two-person home bought by Minji a year ago. It wasn't very big, a modest, two-story building. It had one living room and only six rooms in total. Four upstairs, two downstairs, and a small yard. There was a dog currently living in the yard. Minji had picked it up from the roadside a long time ago and had been keeping it for several years.

Minji liked it a lot, but it was going to be sent away tomorrow. This was because... Hanni was afraid of dogs.

She had just left the kitchen when she saw Hanni coming down the stairs.

Hanni had changed into a cream-colored casual dress, her long hair wet.

Minji quietly choked on her saliva as she looked at the approaching Hanni. After composing herself, with an expressionless face, she asked, "Did... did you come down for some water?"

"Yeah." After that initial shock, the now calm Hanni was much more relaxed when facing Minji.

Whether the five years Hanni had experienced were a dream or not, she had still gone through all those memories. Although the two had married for their own separate interests, after five years of marriage, the feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness that had colored their wedding night were a thing of the past for this Hanni.
