"Go to sleep, I'll be out in a bit." Dae Hyun tried to speak in a tone as gentle as possible. His lips lifted slightly to carve a thin smile even though it felt heavy.

Soo Yin sat up. Before Dae Hyun stepped his foot, she first wrapped her arms so tightly around her husband's waist.

​​

"Don't go," Soo Yin said quietly. Tears could no longer be contained from the corners of her eyes. Soo Yin felt a deep sadness.

Dae Hyun took a deep breath. He was silent as he tightly clenched his hands which were hanging on both sides.

"Please, don't just silent. I know if you are very angry with me. Just hit me, so you can spill all the anger you feel right now," Soo Yin said as she tried to hold back her tears from falling.

"Honey, don't be silent. Tell me what must I do so you can forgive me?" Soo Yin sobbed, unable to contain the guilt in her heart anymore.

Dae Hyun was still stuck in his place.

'Sorry Soo Yin, I'm not like other men who can easily forgive a mistake. My bad thoughts about you are still lingering,' ~ Dae Hyun thought as he closed his eyes.

It was not that Dae Hyun didn't believe her, but he wanted to calm down first.

Soo Yin set her feet on the floor, then slowly rose to her feet. Her hands did not leave Dae Hyun's waist. Afraid that he would leave her.

Honestly, Soo Yin missed Dae Hyun's possessiveness to her. Missed him nagging that she can't be close to any man.

Tonight Soo Yin felt that there was a distance between them. She was afraid that her husband will believe what the residents had said.

Soo Yin turned her body to face the man who was standing tall. She wanted to see the gentle look he used to give her.

"Honey, hit me if that's what it takes for you to forgive me." Soo Yin put Dae Hyun's big hand to her cheek. Hoped the guy would hit her in the face. It would feel a lot better than just being silent. His eyes were also empty.

"What are you talking about? I've forgiven you." Dae Hyun gently caressed Soo Yin's cheek. But the look in his eyes can't lie if he still held his anger.

"Then why do you want to go out if you have forgiven me," Soo Yin spoke with teary eyes.

"I just wanted to go out for a while for fear of hurting you." Dae Hyun cupped Soo Yin's cheeks. He kissed her lips which looked pale for a moment, for a few seconds.

"Do not go." Soo Yin hugged her husband's body tightly again. Now her sobs were even louder. She buried her head in the broad chest that always pampered her.

Dae Hyun didn't return Soo Yin's hug, his hands clenched behind his wife's back. He really felt too jealous right now.

"Now go to sleep because it's getting late. I'm tired and very sleepy. We'd better talk in the morning." Dae Hyun let go of Soo Yin's hand slowly then led her back to the bed.

Soo Yin complied, even though her heart was still tight but she wanted Dae Hyun to rest too.

"Sleep here and don't go anywhere," said Soo Yin.

Dae Hyun nodded his head while smiling bitterly.

"I'm won't go," said Dae Hyun.

Five minutes later, Soo Yin was asleep after getting a sweet kiss from her husband.

Dae Hyun tried to close his eyes. But the anger that welled up in his heart had not completely disappeared so he chose to get up from the bed.

Dae Hyun immediately descended the stairs then to got out of the villa. He got into his car and drove the car without any definite destination. Right now he wanted to calm himself down first.

UN Village,

With languid steps Park Soo Hyun entered his house. His mind was still wandering remembering the events that had just happened some time ago. Along the way Park Soo Hyun kept cursing and grumbling for his stupidity.

"Soo Hyun, you're finally home," said Mrs. Park who had been worried about her youngest son's condition. Her face looked worried because she had not heard any news from her son all day. She was worried because it was his first day leaving the house.

"Hmmm." Park Soo Hyun answered weakly and uninspired. Guilt was now overwhelming his heart for not being able to protect his idol girl.

Park Soo Hyun regretted for not fighting the citizens when he should be able to. He even asked his brother for help. He felt pain and shortness of breath right now. The hope of being someone who can take care of the people he loved was now gone.

Soo Yin must have thought that he was a coward and irresponsible man. Park Soo Hyun felt that he was like a loser.

"Park Soo Hyun, what exactly happened? Why did you two get stuck there with Soo Yin?" asked Mrs. Park who can no longer hide her curiosity.

When the sun went down, Mrs. Park asked Dae Hyun of where Park Soo Hyun was because his cell phone was inactive. It was true when she suspected that Park Soo Hyun was not at the hotel.

"It's a long story, mom." Park Soo Hyun looked at the middle-aged woman who had been taking care of him until now. Wanted to say something but he cancelled his intention.

"Say it right now." Mrs. Park looked impatient to hear what was actually had happened.

Park Soo Hyun sighed heavily. Felt doubt to say everything. But if he wasn't honest, Dae Hyun would have said it all.

"I went to teacher Cheon's place but came back when the sun went down..." Park Soo Hyun began to tell a little about how they were almost forced to marry by the villagers and the people who treated them harshly.
