Please, Confess to Me

Chapter 35 : Apology That Wasn't Needed

Hanni ignored Minji for one more night.

Last night, Minji had asked Mrs. Jung to help her and send another bouquet, but it only got her a crisp thank you and a door slam from Hanni. It seems that Hanni was even angrier? What did she do?

Minji was in such a fretful mood that she tossed and turned the whole night. In the end, she got up before dawn and walked towards the foot of the stairs. This feeling is too painful.

The front door was suddenly opened. Minji looked towards the noise and saw Mrs. Jung enter the house with a basket full of vegetables.

"You're quite early today, boss." Mrs. Jung blinked. "You surprised me."

"Yeah. I wanted to run a little earlier today." Minji walked towards the door.

Mrs. Jung watched Minji go to the shoe rack and change into running shoes. Dumbfounded, she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Minji looked down and realized that she was still wearing her blue robe. She awkwardly coughed and silently went back to her room to change clothes.

Mrs. Jung looked at Minji's back, then up towards the second floor. She helplessly sighed.

Compared to the dazed Minji, Hanni had a good night's sleep.

But because Hanni stayed late last night to peruse some documents, she got up late today. When she woke up, it was already 8:30 a.m. She jolted up, thinking that Minji was waiting for her downstairs. Bypassing the bathroom, she didn't bother changing out of her pajamas and rushed to put on her slippers and go out. But when she touched the doorknob, she suddenly remembered. She was supposed to be angry with Minji. Why did she care if Minji ate breakfast or not? Let Minji wait.

So when Hanni finally went downstairs, it was already 9:00 a.m. She stealthily peeked at the dining table and saw that Minji wasn't there. She turned towards the sofa in the living room...

"Bark!" Choco saw Hanni and excitedly burst out.

"Shhh!" Hanni quickly hushed Choco, frantically waving her hands.

Choco thought that Hanni was calling for him, so he became even more excited. He got up and ran towards Hanni.

"Madam, you're awake." Hearing Choco's calls, Mrs. Jung came out of the kitchen.

"...Yes." Hanni replied. For some reason, her voice was a little panicked.

"Come have breakfast, I'll heat everything for you." Mrs. Jung said.

"Alright," Hanni led Choco towards the table. She looked around but didn't see Minji anywhere. She asked the dog next to her, "Where's your mama?"

"Bark!" Choco barked once more.

"Boss has already gone to work." Mrs. Jung replied as she came out of the kitchen with a few dishes.

"Oh, I see." Hanni stiffly sat down at the table. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. The custard is very creamy. Delicious.

"Boss didn't have breakfast today." Mrs. Jung mused.

"Oh?" Hanni said. "Did you pack a lunchbox for her?"

"I did." Mrs. Jung nodded.

"Oh."

Mrs. Jung looked at Hanni's listless expression and realized that Hanni was worried about Minji. She couldn't help but say, "Before boss left, she gave me a message to pass to you."

"What is it?" Hanni asked. Probably another apology.

"Boss said that if you didn't want to see her for the time being, she can just stay away and come back later. So you don't need to keep shutting yourself in your bedroom."
