Bittersweet Marriage Life

11 - Can You Promise Me?

Eunji curled herself up on the bed and cried her heart out. It's been a week since she discharged. She never left her room, barely ate and didn't utter a word.

"Eunji-ah! You should eat something." Yunho persuaded her as he looked at Changmin who was carrying the food tray. He placed the tray on her nightstand.

"Eunji-ah!" Changmin called her out. They still got no response. Yunho stroked her hair and Eunji's sobbed became louder. Silence was what she need right now. Other girls might need to persuade to comfort them, but Eunji only needed a silent treatment. Changmin looked at her pitifully. He's going to kill the one who make his sister to suffer like this.

"CCTV tape of the staircase?" Naeun repeated confusedly.

"I want to see it. Can you help me?" Key replied. Naeun nodded and guided him to a room.

"Is there anyone here during lunchbreak yesterday?" He asked Naeun as they entered the room.

"I don't think so since it's time for the worker to shift." Naeun searched through the whole bunch of tape. "Here you go!" She tossed the tape to him. "Oh god! It's time for the meeting. I need to go! Suit yourself!" Without waiting for Key's reply, Naeun dushed out of the room, leaving Key alone in the room since Naeun has asked the worker to give them some space.

As he pressed the button, he watched it with his serious expression. He saw Eunji walking down the stair and another figure staring at her. He found the figure rather similar when his expression changed from confusion to disbelief. He reached forward and pressed delete button. 

Then he took out his phone.

"It ran out of the tape. So, nothing has captured. Thank for your help. Uh, bye!" After hanging up, he closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Key was sitting on Eunji's bed after almost get a nice warm up from Changmin. He stroked her hair gently.

"I'm sorry!" He muttered. After a while, Eunji stirred awake.

"Leave!" was the first word she said to him.

"Eunji!"

"Leave!" She raised her voice. She slowly sat up and grabbed a pillow and threw at him. "I told you to leave. Don't you hear me?" Her tear started to flow out again. He immediately puller her into embrace.

"Let me go! I hate you!" She mumbled as she slapped his chest.

"Eunji! Calm down!"

"Let's stop it! Let's disvorce!"

Meanwhile,

"Min, sit down!" Yunho said as Changmin stood up.

"Hyung! What if he do something to Eunji?" 

"Told you to sit down."

"Hyung!"

"Jung Changmin!" Changmin scoffed as he has no choice, so he sat down on the couch and glared at his only hyung.

"What?" Key exclaimed confusedly.

"Please disvorce me! You have your girlfriend. I want my normal life back." Eunji replied between her sob.

"I won't. I won't disvorce you."

"Why not? Don't you love Nicole? Go and live with her." She said.

"Though I have to disvorce you, at least we need to live with each other for one year." Key stated trying to find a reason for him not to disvorce her.

"Then would you promise me that you won't see Nicole for the whole one year?"
