When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 40 His Warning

TL Note: please prepare your heart before reading, you've been warned!!! 😏

She looked up at him without blinking, with a lot to say. 

There were a lot of questions and things she wanted to talk about.

But at this moment, she could only gently pull at his suit jacket.

"Come to see you before work."

His answer was as accurate as a ghost. It seemed that he understood the confusion in her gesture.

Hee Joo could only scratch her ears unconsciously, and the man lying on the bed slowly looked at her.

"When you are the most talkative, how come you keep silent?" 

"……."

"Weren't you a good singer before?" 

"……!"
Although his words were not friendly, every word touched her heart.

"I can probably guess. It's because Hong In-ah's ear was injured." 

"……!"
"You must feel wronged."

His voice was low and cold, but it was not sharp against Hee Joo.

He gently brushed away her messy hair, and Hee Joo tried not to let her eyes turn red.

"It's okay, this is also good."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"There is more than one way to communicate between husband and wife." 

Before she knew it, dawn had quietly arrived. The day passed quickly.

Her mother and Chairman Hong did not call even once when they learned that Hee Joo was injured. 

While staring out the window in a daze, she suddenly thought of my sister.

'Sister...'

Since the accident when she was young, Hee Joo and Hong In-ah have gradually become close.

Hong In-ah was previously wary of her stepsister who suddenly appeared, but she changed completely after the accident. In-ah, who was more vigilant, only allowed Hee Joo, who survived the car accident with her, to be around her. The once arrogant daughter of a wealthy family has since taken good care of her inconspicuous stepsister.

'Why did my sister disappear...?'

She used to think that it was just her capriciousness and rebellion, but suddenly she became very mysterious. During the long time alone, all kinds of random thoughts came one after another.

'Sister...'

They are not particularly close sisters. But they are indeed like a whole and closely related. 

'What was I thinking when my sister disappeared.'

As her thoughts became deeper and deeper, she shook her head gently.

She looked at the clock and it was time to call.

"Don't call me again."

His warning echoed in her ears, but she didn't care. It was just a phone call anyway, what could he do?

Beep, beep.

Hearing the ringtone, her eyes, which had been dull all day, suddenly lit up.

Although the other party was a threat, the funny thing was that her only channel of communication was him - Baek Sa-eon.
