Chapter 20.2

Woo-jin, leaning on a piece of furniture, looked confused by the question. “Why do you ask me that?” he said. Hae-gang, feeling restless, let out a small sigh.

“Don’t do anything just meant you don’t have to do something out of a sense of duty to be a couple,” Woo-jin explained.

Hae-gang was still in confusion, “…….”

“Do what you want to do. Whether it’s a hobby or anything, that’s why I explained what’s around the house last time,” Woo-jin added.

Is it because it’s been so long since she had a choice? It was difficult for her to make her own decision. She wanted to do something but didn’t even know what it was.

Woo-jin did not hide his frustration with her.

“I don’t know what happened at the hotel, but I think I got into a bad habit. You don’t have to ask me for permission to act one by one. You’re an adult.”

Words that only pointed out the fact of the hollow tree were particularly sharp and came in. Hae-gang, who had been properly beaten there, stared blankly at Woo-jin like someone who had forgotten how to blink.

She still hasn’t completely escaped his shadow.

Hae-gang wanted freedom so much, but her reality of naturally relying on other people’s opinions was quite shocking.

What’s this? I don’t try to think about anything by myself; I don’t decide anything. 

This is no different than the animal being domesticated.

She didn’t realize that she was losing her self-esteem excessively now.

“Oh, my”.

Since when have you been living? The moment she recognized it, the pain swooped.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.”

“Han Dawn?”

“Oh, my!”

“What’s the matter, Han Dawn?”

Woo-jin noticed Hae-gang’s distress and called out their name in concern.

Hae-gang felt trapped by an invisible leash and tried to scratch her neck to break free. Woo-jin stopped Hae-gang’s hand and helped her return to reality.

Hae-gang called out to Woo-jin, trying to excuse her irrational behavior.

 “Min Woo Jin,” she said as if she were struggling to catch her breath.

Hae-gang shook her head, acknowledging that Woo-jin was not at fault. She struggled to find the right words to say.

Woo-jin tilted his head slightly as he held Hae-gang’s arm, studying her expression, and finally managed to say, “It’s right that you did something wrong. I said anything without considering your position.”

Hae-gang looked at Woo-jin with tears streaming down her face, and Woo-jin looked embarrassed in response. He suggested they change the subject, “Let’s change the subject. You don’t have to be good at cooking. I have someone to do it for me. Instead, you married me, so I’m in trouble if you go somewhere and stay as discouraged as you are now.”

Hae-gang nodded timidly, unable to avoid Woo-jin’s direct gaze. Woo-jin looked down at Hae-gang’s neck, noticing the red marks left by her scratching. Hae-gang felt ashamed and tried to cover them but couldn’t because Woo-jin gripped her arm.

Woo-jin nodded and said, “All right. Just remember one more thing.” He spoke in a firm voice, not intimidating, but irresistible. “I have no intention of keeping Ms. Han Dawn in an animal cage.”
