When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 45 The Sister is Back!

"You found a good place right away."

He sat down next to Hee-joo.

"I like looking out the window in this room. Guess why?"

She couldn't take her eyes off his cold expression as he looked out the window.

The elegant side profile was as delicate as a sculpture. In that graceful arc, flowed a past that Hee-joo couldn't guess.

"Every time I woke up from a dream of falling into the river, I saw little Hee-joo doing something there. The child was so naughty that she didn't even sleep at night."

"......!"

"Even so, I couldn't understand what you said at all. It felt like I was in the water. Maybe it felt like this when you go to an aquarium. Or, perhaps I'm still in the water."

This was the first time she heard these words.

"But seeing your gestures, I felt relieved." 

"......."

"The dream is over, this is reality." 

He covered Hee-joo's hand with his hand and said.

Hee-joo suddenly felt a warm feeling and her heartbeat accelerated.

"Teach me a sign language." 

"......!"

She looked at him in surprise, and he tilted his head.

"I'm very interested in Hong Hee-joo's language."

This bastard... Suddenly, he said it now?

"When you were a child, you always did this action." He tapped his chin with his little finger. 

Hee-joo bit the meat in her mouth.

She remembered what a certain aunt said, that cheating husbands would buy flowers and gifts for their wives. 

What a bastard...

When she was a child, she first learned and used the sign language most in order to pretend that nothing was wrong. It means "nothing is wrong."

"I've been waiting."

In the dark, their eyes met.

"Wait for you to speak first."

Hee-joo bit her lip, and his eyes pierced her fiercely. This was a night with everyone's thoughts.

"Mr. Baek--!"

Kim Yeon-hee stood at the door in a velvet dress.
 
It all started with the gift set that the mother-in-law sent like a mission.

As soon as the sacrifice was over, Baek Sa-eon, who was about to leave directly, was stopped by the mother-in-law, "You're here, it's not appropriate to go back empty-handed." 

So, she packed some food for him.

In this way, Hee-joo went to her mother's house, which was not in her plan.

"Aren't you tired? Why did you come so suddenly?"

Her mother's eyes were gentle and especially kind.

Hee-joo took off her shoes a little stiffly, as if she was uncomfortable with her mother's warm hospitality. Kim Yeon-hee still took the gift enthusiastically and led them into the living room.

"Is my father-in-law here?" 

"Ah, he's now..."

Her mother glanced at Hee-joo. At that time, her eyes were a little complicated. Her elegant black eyes seemed to be mocking and embarrassed.
