Chapter 56: : Because Of Her

"Marry me." Na Rae blurted.

She felt nervous but at the back of her mind, she was hopeful. He would never allow his reputation to be ruined, would he? People would criticize him and it will only be a matter of time when he'll lose everyone else's respect. Na Rae inwardly smirked. He could try and think of other options. But she was confident that they won't be as convenient as her offer.

There was silence between them. Na Rae waited for his response because his expression was unreadable. He seemed to be thinking about it carefully. And so with every second that was passing, her anxiety grew. Finally, Min Jae turned to look at her and after a few moments, he scoffed. Na Rae's brows furrowed as she scowled.

"You must be f****** out of your mind." Min Jae spat. Ridiculous! It was one thing that she was pregnant. But marriage? That night was a mistake. It never should've happened! Min Jae pinched the bridge of his nose out of frustration. "F***. This... this should not have happened." He muttered almost inaudibly.

However, Na Rae heard this clearly. "So what? That's it? Just because you think we made a mistake this child's going to grow up without a father?" She challenged. He should've just agreed! Why did he have to make things complicated when they could be as simple as that?!

Min Jae didn't reply. Instead, he stared absentmindedly at the empty plate in front of him. Seeing that he seemed unconcerned, Na Rae grew more frustrated. "It's because of her isn't it? That woman you were living with?" She said out of the blue.

Min Jae didn't need more clues to know who it was. He knew instantly that she was talking about Eun Young. With this, Na Rae saw that she finally got his attention. "I knew it." She bitterly retorted. "I thought you knew better. If you were satisfied with her, then you wouldn't have hooked up with me. I didn't think you would really chose to still be with her! Aren't you just heartless?!" She exclaimed.

"You don't know anything." Min Jae calmly replied but Na Rae was having none of it.

Crossing her arms, she glared at him. "Is she that good in bed that you would rather pick her? When I was with you, where was she? You picked me before and you can certainly do it again." Na Rae boldly claimed.

"Shut up." Min Jae warned. "You don't know what you're talking about."

"What else is there to know?" Na Rae wasn't backing down. That b****! She thought for sure that they'd be on their separate ways by now. Who knew the b**** actually still stuck around while she was away? "I met her once before and she threatened me. I was just shopping with my sister that day when all of a sudden, she was making a scene in the shop. She wasn't even embarrassed in front of her child! Are you seriously telling me that you're choosing that person?"

Finally having enough with her nonsense, Min Jae abruptly stood up. "I will support the child but as for your proposal, I cannot accept it. I'm drawing the line here." He impassively said. After all, he came only to tell her that. If it were only possible, he'd want nothing else to do with her but for the sake of the unborn child, he could only risk as much. Min Jae turned to his heel to leave but Na Rae spoke again, stopping him in his tracks.

"Why don't you ever pick me?!" She screamed. Na Rae approached him and began hitting him with her fists. She was so angry! "Why her?! Why is it always her?! Why are you picking that f****** b**** over me?!"

Min Jae caught her hands in mid-air. When she looked at him, he noticed that there were now tears streaming down her cheeks. Na Rae's face was beginning to redden as she vented out her emotions. She struggled to break free from his grip. However, Min Jae's hold on her remained tight.

"First of all..." Min Jae began. "Who are you for me to choose?" He asked upon meeting her eyes.

"I am the mother of your child! Isn't that enough?!" She answered immediately. "We can be a family, Min Jae. This child I'm carrying... your blood runs in him too! He will grow up to become an intelligent person like you. He will grow up to become someone successful... someone who will make us proud!" Na Rae defended.

Remembering the child, Min Jae slowly let her go. But then Na Rae immediately turned to look at him with hatred. "But you're choosing that woman and I can't f****** understand why! What changed, Min Jae? You were already satisfied with me before! Damn it that b****! Who is she really to you? Huh? Who the f*** is she--"

"That woman is my wife!" Min Jae exclaimed, cutting her off all of a sudden. "And don't you f****** say those things about her because you're not even an inch better than she is! Because of you--Because of my f****** stupid decisions I'm gonna lose her forever! Are you happy now?!"

Na Rae was left silent with his words. On the other hand, Min Jae breathed heavily after letting out his frustrations. He was bound to lose her from the beginning. It was inevitable. He thought it would be simple--as simple as turning the next page of a book. But what he didn't expect was that everyday, as he waited for that day to officially come, it would cause him pain too.

Without another word, he stepped out of that suffocating room.

Eun Young pulled the breaks as soon as they got to the house. She didn't bother to properly park the car anymore since they weren't staying for long anyway.

"Stay right here kids. Mommy will just get a few things and then we'll head out soon." Eun Young said as she turned to her children seated at the back.

"But mommy, little Hye Soo and I wanna go inside the house too!" Her son pouted.

Eun Young thought about it for a while. She was really in a hurry and to have the kids come with her, it would be risky. "Please mommy! It's been days since I last saw Mr. Dooley. I didn't get to bring him over when we went to grandmother and grandfather's house so I really want to bring him along today. Pleaaaasee!" Little Jung Hyun insisted.

Without wasting anymore time, Eun Young ended up agreeing. "Okay. Fine. But you have to be quick and you have to help mommy, okay? And no playing! Or else mommy will get mad." She conditioned. The little ones nodded and soon after, the three of them were inside the house.

At the same time, in the subdivision's security post, an officer dialed a number. He had just finished his lunch and after making the call, he'll definitely take the opportunity to slumber. The phone rang for a few times. Before the fifth ring, another man answered from the other line.

"Good afternoon, sir." The officer greeted. "Mrs. Lee had just returned to your residence."


Chapter 57: : He Finally Let Her Go

She stood on the tip of her toes and reached for the upper shelf of the cabinet. Carefully, she grabbed the nearest suitcases her fingers could find. She then hurriedly headed to the bedroom, mentally listing down the things she would need to get and where she could find them.

Little Jung Hyun was confused upon seeing his mom so frantic. Standing by the door frame, he watched Eun Young as she gathered her clothes only to stuff them messily inside the suitcase. She then ran into the bathroom and emerged with many bottles of shampoos and body wash in her arms. Afterwards, she dashed to the bedside table, rummaging through the contents until she finally retrieved an envelope.

"Mommy?" The little one worriedly asked. For some reason, something didn't feel right. His mother was panicking and she was close to clearing out her things in the room!

Eun Young didn't hear little Jung Hyun. She was still occupied in making sure that she got everything packed. When she began to hear someone sobbing, that was the only time she turned to see her son bawling his eyes out. "Oh dear." She guiltily murmured as she immediately went to his side.

"M-mommy, why... why are you l-leaving?" Little Jung Hyun wailed. He tightly hugged Eun Young by her neck. No matter what her reasons were, he won't let her go! Little Jung Hyun and baby Hye Soo will be sad if she goes away... Daddy will also be sad if she leaves...

"Oh no, baby. Mommy's not leaving." 'The three of us will.' She wanted to say but she focused on consoling the heartbroken child. "Don't cry. Mommy will never leave you. It's just that... our house will be fixed and we need to find another home in the meantime while it's messy in here. Mommy will be with you so you don't have to be afraid. Okay?" She lied.

Eun Young patted little Jung Hyun's back. He was still crying and she could feel his warm tears dampening her shirt. Eun Young helplessly sighed. She certainly has to remain strong at times like this. She may be hurting, but she'll do everything in her power to protect her children. A few moments later, he finally let her go. Little Jung Hyun wiped his tears away and with innocence and sincerity in his eyes, he asked. "Y-you really won't leave?"

She gently shook her head and flashed him a small smile. "How could I leave you when I love you so much?" She said. Eun Young kissed little Jung Hyun's forehead. When the little one was finally assured, he voluntarily helped his mother by putting his own things in his suitcase too.

After arranging her luggage, Eun Young went to assist little Jung Hyun and Hye Soo. The kids were more concerned with bringing their toys than their clothes that Eun Young had to prepare a separate bag for them. A little while later, they had already prepared everything they would need. Eun Young wasted no more time as one by one, she began transferring the luggage to the back of the car.

On her second return, she was carrying the children's suitcases. "Little Jung Hyun, please be a dear and bring your sister to the car please. We'll leave shortly!" She called out. She dragged the heavy materials down the stairs. However, just as she was about to exit the house, she noticed that a man was now standing by the main threshold.

A familiar pair of brown eyes found hers. It was the pair that always had her heart skipping a beat. But the moment their gazes met, there was only pain and hurting. She doesn't want that for the kids. She doesn't want that kind of feeling anymore.

"The kids and I..." She began to declare. Her hands balled into fists. If Min Jae was thinking of stopping her... If he's planning on taking custody of the children... she'll definitely put up a fight.

Eun Young glared at the man in front of her. But the man, in return, simply looked at her with a defeated expression. Is this a trick? Is he still trying to prove his innocence? Eun Young rolled her eyes. He never cared about them before, what would've changed now?

Min Jae let out a sigh. "I know." He calmly said.

Eun Young was about to grab the luggage again when suddenly, little footsteps came rushing down the stairs. "Daddy!" Little Jung Hyun screamed in excitement. Behind him, baby Hye Soo was rushing to greet her father too! She wasn't as fast and as tall as little Jung Hyun yet so she still had to grab onto the railings for support. Nevertheless, they were both very ecstatic to finally see their father again.

As soon as little Jung Hyun approached Min Jae, the child held onto the hem of his suit and began tugging. "Daddy, you have to pack your stuffs too! Quickly! Mommy said our house needs fixing and we're gonna stay somewhere really nice!" His eyes glowed as he spoke. "Let's go! I'll help you!" Little Jung Hyun even offered.

"Lee Jung Hyun!" Eun Young called but her son was too distracted. He can't come! He can't! Eun Young panicked as she immediately searched her mind for an excuse. "Little Jung Hyun," She called again. Fortunately, her son heard her this time. "Your father can't come with us. He... he needs to focus on his work somewhere." She lied again.

Little Jung Hyun blinked in response after hearing this. 'Daddy won't be coming?' He thought. He then turned to look at Min Jae. Inwardly, he was telling him to say it's not true. He misses his father so much. He misses their play times... Their father-son bondings... He has to come with them!

Seeing the look on his son's face, Min Jae stooped lower so that he was now face to face with him. "Daddy, come with us please." Little Jung Hyun pleaded when their eyes met. In that moment, Min Jae's heart squeezed. His son was really expecting him to say yes, but Min Jae knew that the answer he would have to give is the opposite. He also knew that little Jung Hyun would be very disappointed. And that thought made his heart tighten once more.

Min Jae took his little hands and held it with his. He gave them a light press before looking at him in the eye. Hopefully, this wouldn't be the last time that he would see them. Because as he stared at little Jung Hyun's eyes, regret began to fill him. He wished that he never made that mistake. He wished he could've been a better father. He wished... he wished he could've tried harder. Forcing a smile, he spoke.

"Little Jung Hyun, do you remember what I said? About that thing you should do so that I wouldn't worry anymore?"
