The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 22

Hyerin was switching through the channel when a news catch her attention. She sat straight and look at it carefully as her son was coloring some pictures on the table. Ryohui, the guest was in her room.

The news of police captured some criminal who tried to sneak drug to China by the cruise was reported all over the country and Hyerin was sure that her husband also involved.

"Wah, this is how the drug run from one to another country? Daebak!" Ryohui suddenly appeared of nowhere exclaiming with amusement. She sat down beside Hyerin who didn't even care to say anything because she was worried with the fact that her husband was on that cruise.

"But wait, Oppa probably involved, no?" She asked with her cute wide eyes. Hyerin blinked didn't want to say anything about it.

"That was so cool." Again, Ryohui stated.

"What is so cool about it? He risked his life." Hyerin mumbled softly and the younger one shrugged.

"It's his job though."

"Omma, when will Appa come home?" Daehan suddenly asked as he walked toward her.

"I'm not sure. Appa is very busy right now." She said enveloping him in her arms and pecked his cheek as he looked up to her.

"I miss Appa." He sang pouting. That was so cute and it made Hyerin to sigh out secretly.

"Han-ah, It's time for bed." The mother reminded him and the boy pouted. Looked like he didn't want to go to bed yet.

"Come on. Ppalgang must be sleepy now." She urged her son and he nodded.

"Ppalgang, come here." Daehan said and the puppy ran to him with his swaying tail. The little boy picked his pet up and went straight to his room.

"Such a good boy. Anyway, Unnie, I'll go back to Busan next two days." Ryohui stated making Hyerin to turn to the girl.

"Already? I thought you can stay longer." Hyerin said. Ryohui smiled shaking her head.

"It's more than enough that you let me stay here this week. Here, I finally found out why Oppa loves you this much. You're a wonderful wife although you appear cold at first." Ryohui expressed with sadness but with an honest smile.

"Unnie, can I tell you something crazy but honest?" She hesitated and Hyerin could tell that she might know what she was talking about.

"Sure..."

"I actually liked oppa very much." With a smile, she honestly expressed her true feeling in front of the wife of the man she liked. Hyerin remained silent.

"He's a great man who I thought I couldn't find another one like him and I really wanted to have him for myself. But he's just so loyal to you and his work all the time. And I hope you can keep that love he has for you so that you'll be last long together. That's all I have to say, Unnie." She said all smiling. Hyerin softened before nodding her head.

"Thanks."

"Promise?"

"Sure." Hyerin agreed although she found it's childish.

"Thanks for everything, Unnie."

"No problem. Visit anytime later."

"Sure things. Then goodnight." Ryohui said standing up and walked to her room. Hyerin looked at her back until she disappeared from her sight with sad eyes. She felt sorry for her and another part of her felt so happy to know that her husband was so loyal to her all those time. He always tried to proof it yet she still had doubts but it's all cleared.
