It's another tiring night in Cha Young's life as a mafia wife.
She is ready for bed, wearing her husband's silk robe. At first, when she saw him wearing it, she laughed out loud. Only to see her husband horrified and telling her that these are some limited edition goods.
And now, she wears them. Because it smells like Vincenzo and she sleeps better in them.
And also, she needs compensation for all those nights he keeps her waiting and doesn't takes her along with her, no matter how many times she tries, and when he comes covered in blood and she frets and plays the role of nurse and tries her very best not to cry.
Also, she likes that the robe floats in air as she walks her way. She feels fancy.
So, item one on her beauty sleep list is crossed off.
However, unlike her other days, her most essential item (not really an item) is, well... locked in his office.
And Cha Young, ace-lawyer, the most ruthless mafia boss's wife can't sleep.
She has been waiting for an hour for him to come out.
But seems like he is as stubborn as she is (or a little more than her)
You see, they had an arguement.
And well, Cha Young knows her husband was right. But still... he should know that she is a lawyer who will do anything to win a case!
He knows her since law school.
So she thinks he should cooperate with her antics, as he always does.
But it seems like this was a serious one.
Usually, she knows when to pick up her battles with her husband and when not to.
But, she wasn't careful this time.
And so, she barges in his office, her robe rising up due to air contact.
Vincenzo knows only one person is allowed to barge in like that.
His wife.
So, he doesn't look up from his laptop screen.
But then, Cha Young comes to his desk and stands beside his chair. And looks at him.
"Is there anything you want, Cara?"
Cha Young notices he's sticking on his stance.
Vincenzo keeps on working.
Then, slowly he sees a hand slowly shutting the laptop's screen. The hand pushes the laptop slowly until its completely shut.
Vincenzo sighs.
He knows this is his wife's way of saying 'Come to sleep'
But honestly, he is still a little mad at her.
Then, the said wife hugs him in his chair. Burying her face in the crooked of his neck.
and then, he hears a haughty English-accent spoken, muffled "Sorry".
He puts his arms around her and strokes her hair. He can feel her smile against his neck.
She knows her apology is accepted.
So she pulls off and stands up again and drag her husband to their room.
When he finally is settled in bed after taking a bath and in his silky pajamas, matching the robe she has wore.
She clings to him and buries her face in his chest.
Number two crossed off from her list.
When she is near to slumber, he kisses her forehead. "Buona Notte, Cara."
Number Three crossed off from the list
She snuggles infinitesmally closer to him in response.
And that's all Cha Young needs for her beauty sleep.
