If Rosé Park were to describe Dr. Jaehyun Jung before, she'd say without thinking twice that he's a snobbish, self-centered antipathic guy who doesn't tinker a damn. However, now that she got to know him better, she figured out that Jaehyun is a man...

Jaehyun is silent while he's driving. Beside him was I who's ugly crying. I don't comprehend why it wouldn't stop honestly.
He wasn't saying anything to me, but he occasionally steals glances as if checking on me.
The deafening silence enveloping us inevitably makes me even think about more regardless of what Rayoung has told me earlier.
Junhoe's tired of me, she said. Is that the grave reason why he's committing infidelity? Was I that boring to him to the extent that he searches for another girl instead of just being a good and loyal boyfriend to me? I can't understand. Is it because I don't agree with making love with him? I was solemnly told many times by him that he properly respects my decision by not giving him my virginity. Was it that? The sex? That he wants bad from me? But he knows I'm not that kind of used girl! So, why?
All these years being in a relationship with him, all I did was to be a faithful and responsible girlfriend to him. I always cook for him. Whenever he's down, I'm the one who consoles him I've been there through his worst. I've missed out on many moments of my life because I consistently settle upon him over anything. Because I respect him. Because I love him. Why can't he do a similar thing to me?
"Stop thinking," Jaehyun says silently.
His baritone voice cooed in the car. It was enough to make me pause from thinking, though.
Conceivably, he recognizes what I'm thinking about.
"Sorry." I nibble my lip.
"Stop saying sorry."
"Okay." I sighed and thought. "You have work to attend, Doc?"
"I don't. Dr. Im took care of my indefinite leave."
Oh yeah. He was instructing at our university for a good 1 week. I almost forgot that.
"Oh," I nodded.
Silence enveloped us again. That cue my system to think about things again while I was watching outside the window.
He cleared his throat. "You wanna go home?"
"I thought we were going to eat?"
"I just thought you'd like to get rest."
"I'm starved, Doc. I'd rather allow food to fill my heart than my worrying."
"Food can't occupy your heart, Rose."
He said my name sounded so so imperial. There is really a certain something in Jaehyun that makes everything expensive.
"It can, Doc. Saturated fats can. A cardiac arrest will be the result, though."
He jerks his head, chuckling sexily. I felt my heart stopped because of his chuckle. Even his laugh sounds gorgeous. This is the first time I heard him laugh.
