Chapter 3

Mingyu closes his eyes again. Good night baby, and good night for you too bibi. I send my apologies to my baby through every caresses on my stomach, for tonight they wouldn't sleep with their dad.

"Please forgive your father too, bibi. Mom's pretty sure dad didn't mean to hurt me. He's just too tired today that a small mistake I made drove him up the wall." I mumbled as I keep caressing my tummy, where bibi is sleeping right now. Not long after, I fell into a deep slumber.

I wake up confused to my surrounding. Mingyu's small body isn't there in my embrace. His small bed isn't where my body lies but me and my husband's bed. When did I get here? From my back my husband's hand holds my waist tightly, I can feel his breath hitting my hair.

Yes, Seungcheol just carried my body here. Guilt and anger again boiled up in my chest. Tears flow without me even knowing. I take his hand carefully off my body. I immediately sit up on the edge of the bed. I look over, my husband's arm tries to find me on our bed. All of sudden his eyes flutter open. I quickly wipe my tears and get up from the bed.

When I reach the door, I hear Seungcheol whispers, "Where are you going?"

I did stop for a second, but I never answer his question. I have to get out of this room. Once again, this is the first time our bedroom's air suffocates me. Yes, last night's guilt is still there, along with anger for every insults he had thrown on my face, make me want to disappear from his sight.

I carefully touch my little son's forehead, his temperature is still the same as last night. I heave out a long exhale. Today I'll be focused on taking care of Mingyu. I call Professor Cho to inform him that today I can't be his assistant. After that I drag my legs to the kitchen. I make a bowl of porridge for Mingyu and also his medicine and vitamin. I didn't forget to cook my husband's breakfast. Never once I let my husband starve on his way to work. Fried rice with an egg are his favorite, with two spoons of sugar in his orange juice, no more or less.

When I'm busy setting up the table, I hear footsteps getting closer. Suddenly a familiar arm hugs me from behind.

"Could you give me a hand?" I can see a red tie hanging on Seungcheol's hand. I take his tie and turn around to help him put it on.

Without making any eye contact with him, I put the tie around his neck and form a knot. His arm is back on my waist. I can feel his eyes on me. When I'm done with his tie, I straighten his shirt and without word I remove his arm from my waist so he can let go of his embrace.

I take Mingyu's porridge and medicine from the dining table. Once I'm in Mingyu's room, I wake him up and pull him on my lap. While his eyes still closed, I start to feed him.

After around 15 minutes, Seungcheol steps into Mingyu's room. I feel him giving the top of my head a kiss.

"I'm going to work, baby.." I'm utterly confused with my husband's demeanor, last night he was clearly mad and disappointed at me, but what is he doing now?When he opens the door to Mingyu's room, he glances at me and accidentally our eyes meet. I have no idea why my husband shows such a sad and worried look.
