Be With You

11. Don't leave me! (Past)

Ye Jin got home safe and sound. She was a bit late tonight because she enjoyed spending a lot of time with her family. Her mother looks healthier than before since the surgery went well.

Her sister, Hyo Jin and her brother-in-law, Ji Sub send her back to Grandma Hyun's mansion.

"Ye Jin ah, take care of yourself. Bye!" Said Hyo Jin who is sitting inside the car.

Ye Jin smiled. Behind her sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can ever see and feel.

She even did not share about her marriage problems to her family because she doesn't want her family will worrying about her.

As she entered the house, Grandma Hyun was in the living room.

"Ye Jin ah, I'm glad you're back."

"I'm sorry to make you worry, Halmeoni."

"It's okay, dear. Ye Jin ah, Bin is waiting for you. He's missing you already."

"Really?"

Then, she entered the bedroom slowly. Hyun Bin has been sleeping for a long time. He went to bed early again.

She tiptoed to pick up her pillow to sleep on the sofa. She did not want to disturb Hyun Bin who was in the middle of the bed with the blanket cover up to his head.

Ye Jin lay down herself on the sofa. She is very sleepy. She makes her sleeping position side to her husband who was fast asleep.

So, she can glance her husband far from the sofa.

She was jealous of the lovey-dovey moment of her sister and brother-in-law. Although they do not have much wealth, but they live happily ever after.

Despite of her luxurious life in this big house, Ye Jin could not feel the love of a husband. She felt so lonely.

The tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks. Ye Jin prayed that she would have the courage to face the challenges ahead.

A few minutes later, she fell asleep.

"Nae Sarang!"

"Nae Sarang!"

"Don't go. Nae Sarang!"

"I'm sorry."

"Nae Sarang!"

Ye Jin woke up from her sleep. Her husband was in sleep talking.

Hyun Bin's voice was so sad. He looked in uncomfortable state. He turns left and right a few times.

Ye Jin got up to calm him down. She climbs on the bed to wake her husband from delirium.

"Nae Sarang!"

She felt a sudden tender pity for him. Her husband was calling Nae Sarang. Nae Sarang is her special name made by Hyun Bin.

Grandma Hyun said was right, Hyun Bin did not hate her. He just wanted to protect Ye Jin. Deep down in Hyun Bin's heart, he wanted Ye Jin always be with him. Next to him.

"Don't leave me!"

Hyun Bin babbling.

Her heart melted as she heard Hyun Bin's plea. Apparently, her husband needs her.

She approached her husband, wanting to wake him up from his dream.

Hyun Bin looked so miserable and restless in his sleep. He sounds so sad. He has lost everything in his life. But he still has his Nae Sarang.

Slowly, Ye Jin give a gentle touch to her husband's shoulder.

"Ji Won ah! Please don't go! Nae Sarang! Don't go! Ji Won ah .... Nae Sarang! Don't leave me!"

She stopped to touch her husband's shoulder. She thought that Hyun Bin was calling her name, but he called someone else's name.

'Who is Ji Won?'

Till now, maybe Hyun Bin forgets his Nae Sarang, his wife's real name is Son Ye Jin.

'Maybe he has another Nae Sarang.'

Suddenly her heart became sad. She misunderstood. She is not the one that her husband called. Her husband missing others.

Ye Jin plans to return to her sofa. She frustrated. She could not expect love from Hyun Bin.

'There is no place for me in oppa's heart.'

She immediately lifted her back, moved back slowly from Hyun Bin's bed before he awake.

Suddenly, her right hand was pulled and held. Ye Jin was shocked.  She looked at Hyun Bin's face. Her husband was in unconscious state.

She tried to release her right hand from Hyun Bin's grip. But she felt warm with that grip.

Hyun Bin did not release his grip.

"Don't leave me." Hyun Bin gibbering a little slowly.

Then he lifted his blanket and pulled Ye Jin into his arms.

Ye Jin follows her husband movement because his grip is too strong for her to release herself.

Hyun Bin covered Ye Jin's body which was already in his arms. Then she closed her eyes.

She can feel Hyun Bin's breath. She did not know why she could be in her husband's arm.

'Is Bin oppa knows of what he is doing now?'

Ye Jin let herself enjoy the warmth of Hyun Bin's embrace. Maybe this time she has a chance to be in her husband's arms.

So tonight, Ye Jin wants to be content to sleep in her husband's arms.

'It's just for tonight.'

The rhythm of her husband's breathing calmed her heart, making her fall asleep at last.

"Nae Sarang, don't leave me..."

Hyun Bin kissed on the top of Ye Jin's hair. He smelled his wife's fragrant hair unconsciously.
