I Don't Care (Lee Soohyuk FF)

Chapter 9: Germany

"I'll be leaving tonight for a flight to Germany—"

"HUH WHY?!" I panicked, my face all crumpled and sulky.

He sighs, "I'm sorry—"

"Until when?" I tried to speak calmly but it sounded like I was going to cry.

Dang nab this feelings!

Soohyuk looked at me, "Until Saturday next week—"

"6 DAYS?!" Question to myself: why do I feel like I'm really a wife too much?

He furrowed his brows, "What's with the reaction?" He doubts.

I kept silent. I knew I was crossing the line.

"I know you'd be surprised that I'm leaving this sudden without telling you but— you shouldn't mind! Just think of it like I'm just going to work for 6 days without coming home. Got it?" He bursted out angry and I couldn't keep it in either.

I didn't let it slide. "That's the problem here! YOU. WILL NOT BE HERE IN SEOUL. If there's an emergency, how can I even come—"

"WELL WHY DO YOU CARE?!" He raised his voice at me as he leaned closer. I was startled for a second. "No one knows outside the media that you're my wife! How are you this confident that you'll come to my emergency situation huh?! INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS MY WIFE?!"

Now he's taking it too far. "Soohyuk-ssi—"

"Oh! I'm sorry." He sarcastically apologized. "Maybe I gave you too much high hopes when I dolled you up earlier and telling you you're beautiful?!" He pointed his finger at me.

I suddenly felt the urge to cry. My chest was squeezing in pain and my whole face was becoming heavier. Tears then piled up my eyes. "Soohyuk-ssi..."

Why do I feel like we're having a divorce?! What the—

"Don't worry, next time I'll make sure that I won't doll you up and compliment you about what you've done! SO THAT YOU WON'T GET HIGH HOPES!" He said through his gritted teeth and walked pass by me accidentally hitting my shoulder.

A tear then alas fell down my cheeks. How is my worries for him make him feel that angry?!

Is it wrong to even worry about your husband? I'm your wife, you big, lousy... UGH!!!

I was taken aback too much by his sudden outburst that I didn't expect. It grew another painful memory inside me.

If this night was the best moment happened to me... Then this is also the worst!

I shook my head hard and wiped the tears in my eyes roughly. "I hate you!" I kept it for me.

My feet were going up the stairs when I suddenly felt the urge to walk back to the kitchen and prepare him something.

I sighed, "this is the problem with you, Minjung-ah..." I said to myself as I put the medicine and vitamins that he'll need in a container. "You love him too much that you can't even get angry at him for too long." I sniffed.

While preparing the little things he'll most likely forget, I heard his steps going down the stairs.

I immediately finished my packing and ran towards him. "Soohyuk-ssi!" I called his name but he just ignored it.
