If Mi-soo would make one wish, it would be for the earth to open up and swallow her. She could hear her heart beating as she slowly kept looking at the door praying Young-jae would magically not show up. She stretched out her hand to reach for her phone on the table but Young-jae was faster as he grabbed the phone from the table.
'I'll be holding on to this phone now, he said as he slowly put the phone in his suit pocket while looking at her like a predator that just found his prey. 'So tell me, who were you supposed to meet here? He asked her in a demanding tone. 'I heard you've been seeing another man behind my back and I was hoping to catch the bastard but I guess luck is not on my side, but I bet it's on yours but that won't be for long, he said smiling coyly
'Have you had someone tailing me? ' she asked in anger
'And if I did you bet I am well within my rights to do so if I suspect and fowl behavior
"How dare you cheat on me? I will make sure to unravel the person you are cheating on me with.
Mi-soo sat here terrified but trying really hard to hide her fear
"For someone who changes women like he changes his underwear you are really very protective especially of something you clearly don't want
"You are my wife and try as you make I will make sure that fact never changes
Just then the door opened and Young-Jae opened the door and entered
Mi-soo died and woke up she could read the scandal, she could see her father's business crashing to the ground and she was about to start apologizing but Young-Jae started speaking up first.
"I saw your car outside and thought to come and catch you with your new mistress but clearly it's nice to see you finally spending quality time with your wife.
'What are you doing in this area brother, Young-han looked at him like he was suspicious of something
'I had a business meeting and was on my way out when I saw your car with your very unique plate number
'I hope I am not interrupting anything?
"No you are not Mi-soo said the color in her face slowly coming back, she stood up, " I was just about to leave
" You are going nowhere
"Please talk to your brother, I just came here to enjoy a nice meal alone but he came here to ruin my meal talking about my secret lover
Young-jae smiled quietly to himself turning to his brother
"You really cannot be seriously torturing your wife over your own insecurities" and he turned to Mi-soo, "come on dear, I will be taking you home" and he took Mi-soo's arm and she naturally followed him but Young-han graped her other arm
"I said you are going nowhere
"Would you let go of her arm? Young-jae said in a very protective voice that left Young-han shocked and on disbelief that realization hit him and he shook his head refusing the thought that just occurred to him
It definitely cannot be possible, there is just no way his married brother was sleeping with his wife
While Young-han was standing there stunned, Young-jae led Mi-soo out of the restaurant into his car and sat her down in the car, she was visibly shaking at this point.
"You brother looked really pissed, I'm scared of what he might do
"Last time I checked I was the older brother so whatever you think he is, I am way more
She seemed to calm down and he held her hands raising them to his mouth to kiss it but she tried to pull back and he pulled it harder to his mouth and kissed it pulling her in as he proceeded to explore her mouth with his tongue by the time he was down she was breathless. He smiled at her and drove off.
***************************
Mi-soo was at home when she heard Young-han drive in and she quickly rushed to shut her bedroom door as though she knew he would come to to her room and she was right.
He entered the house and started shouting her name from the door, he asked the servant about her and they told him she was in her room and he ran up the stairs to her room.
He rapped once on the door. Then twice.
"Mi-soo! Now open this stupid door!
Her fists were clasped tightly in her lap as she sat on the bed, her heart pounding. Willing it not to turn, she gazed at the doorknob.
"Open this door, or I'll break it down, I promise!" Before she could reply, the door exploded with a thunderous boom as Young-han's voice thundered.
She gasped, automatically got to her feet and stepped back.
His chest heaved as he stood there, his face flushed with anger. Either from fury or something more powerful, his eyes were bloodshot. "You have no right to accompany him out."
Despite her trembling voice, she said calmly, "He's your brother." "I was eating by myself, as I mentioned to you."
With his finger pointed accusingly at her, he stalked at her. "Don't act foolish around me. Do you think I won't assume that the man you've been hiding with isn't the same man you've been seeing covertly?
Her brows furrowed as she said, "Covering for me?" "Do you believe this to be that?"
He muttered, halting inches from her, "I know it is." "His gaze on you—as if you were his property."
Standing her ground, she questioned, "And what about the way you treat me?" You display your affairs as though they were awards. You make fun of me in front of your family and friends. And now you want to be a true husband because you think your pride may be hurt?
After a moment of stunned silence, Young-han grabbed her wrist. "You have no right to blame me for this. Mi-soo, you are mine.
"Not for long she said more bold than ever
"No, I'm not," she muttered, her eyes full of tears. "No longer."
He hesitated for a while at the quiet, determined tone with which she spoke. He relaxed his hold a little.
It's been months since I last touched you. The once you put your mistresses ahead of your vows, you ceased to be my husband.
His hand dropped limp at his side as he released her. "So what? Will you abandon me for my brother?
She wiped her face of a tear. "I haven't decided anything yet. However, it won't be because to you if I do. It will be because I was treated with respect for the first time in years. As though I were more than just a name on a marriage license.
Young-han took a step back, speechless. And he had nothing to say for once.
She passed him, composed and at ease now. "I'm heading to bed. I advise you to follow suit. Or return to your customary place of disappearance.
She didn't hold off until she heard back. He was left alone in the hallway, surrounded only by his anger and the sound of her defiance as she silently closed the door behind her.
Never in a million years would he have imagined the man his wife was cheating on him with was his brother.
He had been fed his own medicine this time much more bitter
