Chapter 24: Annoying
A few days after Hyuna had fainted.
I was preparing to go out in order to take care of my father as usual.
Knock knock!
"So Hyun ah, are you still here?"
"Omma? I'm here!"
After hearing my voice, my mother opened the door by herself and came in.
"What is it?"
"I told you, didn't I? I told you to keep a hold on the reins!"
"W...what are you talking about?"
"I was talking with Byung Hun on the phone earlier. Since he won't be coming back to the estate for a while, I asked him why."
"O...okay..."
"He was rather curt with me when he said he wouldn't return for a while. Then, when I asked him about his marriage with you...Forget about the marriage with you. He told me 'it's not the time for that'!"
"..."
"What happened? Don't tell me he's already bored of you!"
"T...there's no way I'd knowwhether that's true or not, right...?"
"Where is he anyway? Is he not coming back because he doesn't want to be together with you?"
"Oppa is together with Hyuna-ssi, I think..."
"Hyuna...? Didn't he hate her? Why are they together again...? Could it have something to do with Hyuna's illness...?"
"Probably..."
"So he's waiting on her because he got all soft-hearted when he saw his ex-fiancée with a seroius illness? What an idiot! What will he do if Jun Sung dies while he's playing house? Call Byung Hun back to the estate now! If you ask instead of me, there's still a chance! God, why is that yeoja doing this now...?" My mother slammed the door violently as she left.
"Forget about...the marriage..."
When I entered my father's hospital room, my brother and Hyuna were there.
"Ah, oppa, Hyuna-ssi..."
"So Hyun ah, you're early today too."
"N...ne. Hyuna-ssi, are you feeling well?"
"Since I had a medical examination scheduled, I came by to see how your appa was doing."
"I see...Jeongmal kamsahabnida."
"I'm grateful that you came to visit even though you aren't feeling well yourself."
"You can stop speaking so formally."
"Jjinja, do juseyo. I think of you like I do my real appa."
"I...truly appreciate it."
"Aniyo, it'll really be that way soon. Appa, you and Hyuna will be recognized as appa and daughter."
"Eh...?"
"What are you saying?"
"We're going to get married."
*T...that can't be...*
"We had at one point rethought our engagement, but in the end, we decided to be together."
"We must have worried you. So Hyun ah, we must have worried you as well..."
"Then, what will you tell to the press?"
