Chapter 1 - "Infidelity"
- Hye-jin, Hye-jin
- Ah?.. What's wrong? - I asked while yawning and opening my eyes
- You're finally awake, Hye-jin, you fell asleep while finishing the report for Mr. Park.
- Really?.. I fell asleep? - I asked, surprised, it was a bit unusual for me. I never fell asleep at work, especially when I was concentrating on a report or something else.
- Thank you very much for waking me up, Soo-Kyung, if you hadn't, maybe Mr. Park would have scolded me - I said while having a coffee so I wouldn't fall asleep again.
- You're welcome, Hye-jin, I couldn't let Mr. Park see you like that - she replied, putting her hand on my shoulder - By the way, what were you dreaming? You kept saying "Where am I?" - Soo-Kyung asked me.
- The truth is it was a strange dream... I dreamt I was at my wedding.
- Uyy, is it because you're getting married to Eun-ho soon??
- Maybe it's that, but... now that I remember, the person I was marrying in my dream... wasn't Eun-ho...
- What do you mean? - Soo-Kyung asked while drinking some water
- Yes, that guy's voice wasn't Eun-ho's. It was someone else, unfortunately I couldn't see his face..
- Really? How strange.. It will be a prediction or maybe you dreamt something that will happen.
- But what are you saying? Of course not. I'm sure that's not possible, besides, you know that in a few weeks I'm going to marry Eun-ho
- That's right, hey... Can I be the one to catch your bouquet?
- Uyy... Do you have someone to marry later? - I asked curiously, Soo-Kyung had never had a boyfriend. Or rather, since I've known her.
- No... the truth is no, but I will have one soon, well, I hope to have one someday
- Surely you will, I know it - I said, placing my hand on her shoulder, supporting her.
I had a feeling, a bad feeling... I didn't know what it was, but it wasn't good at all..
- Miss Kang..
- Uh?.. Yes? , What's wrong, Mr. Park?
- The report I asked you for, I hope it's ready for next Thursday - my boss said, approaching with some documents in his hand - I hope you don't get distracted and, above all, don't fall asleep during working hours.
- What...? - I replied, confused, did he see me sleeping? Was he spying on me?
- See you tomorrow, Miss Kang.
- See you tomorrow.. Mr. Park..
- Hye-jin, did he see you sleeping? - Soo-Kyung asked me.
- Maybe.. oh.. how embarrassing, what am I going to do? well.. at least he didn't scold me while I was asleep.
- Yes.. that's true, and if he saw you.. why do you think he didn't come to scold you?
- I don't know.. it's something strange about him, he's always very serious, well, I better go, I'll meet Eun-ho at his house, see you Soo-kyung.
- Goodbye Hye-jin, or should I say "Mrs. Choi?" Hahaha - Soo-Kyung said.
- Very soon, I will be Mrs. Choi - goodbye Soo-Kyung.
I grab my things, put on my coat, and head to the elevator. while I wait for it to open.
I turn on my cell phone, it was 8:30 at night, I was excited to get to Eun-ho's house as soon as possible and hug him, it was the only thing I could think about at that moment.
- Are you leaving already, Miss Kang? - my boss asked, approaching me, standing next to me in front of the elevator.
- Yes, I'm leaving, Mr. Park. And you? Do you have anything to do today? I don't know... an outing or maybe you have a date - I said, looking at Mr. Park with a mocking smile.
- I have nothing to do.. I suppose you do - Mr. Park replied with a serious and cold expression at the same time - I heard that you are getting married, is that correct?
- Yes, that's right, I'm getting married in a few weeks.
- Congratulations on that, Miss Kang - Mr. Park said in a curt tone.
- Thank you very much, Mr. Park, I'll see you tomorrow, I hope you have a good night.
Meanwhile the elevator opens, we both enter and go down to the first floor. We say goodbye and I went to take a taxi, the taxi takes me to Eun-ho's house.
Arriving at the place, I pay the driver and get out of the taxi.
I went up the stairs, reaching the door, and curiously, it was open...
This was strange... Eun-ho never left his door open. I entered the apartment and saw some high heels in the entrance, - high heels? Why would there be high heels here? - I wondered while putting my purse on the table and hanging my coat.
- Eun-ho?... darling? - I said as I slowly made my way to his room, I opened the door suddenly - I'm here darling!! - I said while...
- Hye-jin! What are you doing here?! - I found my fiancé in bed with another woman.
They were embracing like a newlywed couple. At that moment... that damn, imbecile dog broke my heart... I felt betrayed, a fool, an idiot.
- What does this mean Choi Eun-ho?! How dare you do this to me a few weeks before our wedding! How is this possible!!
- Hye-jin calm down!, you're misinterpreting it! - the idiot said while putting on his pants and shirt, while his lover covered herself with the bed sheet.
- I trusted you Choi Eun-ho, you are a damn traitor... The engagement is broken at this moment!! I don't know what explanation you will give your parents for this!!
- You can't break the engagement! What will my parents and my family say?! How dare you do this to me Kang Hye-jin?!! - At that moment I slapped Eun-ho.
- How hypocritical you are... me? , I did something?! Did I sleep with someone?!! - I took the ring off my finger and threw it at Eun-ho - you better give it to your lover, it seems that she is the one you truly love... goodbye, Choi-Eun-oh - I grabbed my things and slammed the door furiously, going down the stairs of the building crying desperately... I felt betrayed, the only man I loved... the one who was going to be my husband... cheated on me with another woman, it was like a nightmare... a nightmare that I wished would end... suddenly it started to rain, it seemed that the weather understood my situation, I went to Soo-kyung's house to calm down. I arrive and knock on the door,
- Hye-jin? What are you doing here at this hour? - Soo-kyung asked while covering herself with her bathrobe to sleep
- Can I come in? I need to be with someone now - I said discouraged and with wet hair, I had walked from Eun-ho's apartment to Soo-kyung's house - of course... come in - Soo-kyung invites me in, I leave my things at the entrance and take off my shoes to enter.
- What's wrong Hye-jin? Why were you crying? - Soo-kyung asked, giving her a cup of chamomile tea to calm down. and she could calmly tell everything - now yes, tell me what's going on...
- It's that... Eun-ho... cheated on me with another woman!! - I say, collapsing in tears, destroyed by what happened to me - What?! how did he cheat on you?! - exclaimed Soo-kyung
annoyed by what she had just heard.
- That bastard cheated on you?... but how?! - Soo-kyung asked - I found him in his bed naked with another woman... they were hugging... and he still reproached me for arriving without warning...
What will I do Soo-kyung... Soo-kyung?... where are you - Soo-kyung was sharpening a knife in the kitchen - I'm going to castrate that bastard for doing this to you - she growled with the knife in her hand - no! are you crazy? it's not worth doing that... now what will I tell my family... and the guests?...
- I said, covering my face with my hands in despair - well, tell the truth, that that damn idiot cheated on you with another woman, let it be known and let your ex-mother-in-law know what an abomination of a son she gave birth to - Soo-kyung mentioned, leaving the knife in the kitchen - but don't you think it would be embarrassing for me?.. that my ex-fiancé cheated on me?
- No.. it shouldn't be embarrassing for you, it will be embarrassing for his family, damn it! he wasted a perfect future with a good wife like you to roll around with another woman
- Hey Soo-kyung.. Can I stay over tonight with you?.. - I asked while drinking some tea - of course, you can stay here.. we're going to have a little pajama party, if it weren't for the damn job we'd stay up all night watching movies.. - Soo-kyung mentioned discouraged - don't worry.. we'll do it later, for now we have to go to bed early to go to work - that's right.. well, let's go to sleep - we went to the room. Soo-kyung lends me one of her pajamas and we lay down to sleep.
-Are you sure you don't want me to castrate that bastard?
- What, no!! , go to sleep !!
