Chapter 22.

- I'll tell you a secret.

- What's the secret, you're not done with Siyeon right? you brought Jeongeui to meet us just to deal with it, right?

- Jaejoong's secret, he only married Siyeon for money, not love, Jaejoong has a girlfriend.

- What?

- Siyeon also doesn't want to sleep with Jaejoong, so she always comes to my room to sleep.

Mrs. Kim's eyes widened in disbelief.

- Thanks to Jaejoong's marriage, our family can live in such a large house in Seoul. Since you already know the truth, I hope you keep it a secret, because of this, both Jaejoong and Siyeon will be damaged.

- After all... what is the relationship between you and Siyeon?

- Two sister-in-law, aren't we? – SuA shrugged her shoulders like it was nothing serious, she packed up her things and went to the bedroom.

SuA went to bed gently to avoid waking Siyeon, but she made the bed sink a little and Siyeon was able to move right away.

Siyeon winced and opened her eyes, seeing SuA, immediately pulled SuA back and hugged SuA tightly.

SuA rubbed Siyeon's bare back, patting her to help her sleep better.

- Sing, what's our relationship?

- Belonging to each other, I belong to you, and you are mine - Siyeon mumbled in the crook of SuA's neck, then the steady breathing continued to indicate that she was asleep again.

SuA laughed at Siyeon's answer, at this moment she felt so happy, she couldn't think of anything, even though she knew what she was doing was wrong.

Some time has passed, autumn has come, today is SuA's birthday. Siyeon arranges to meet her at a foretold location, SuA thinks that Siyeon probably wants to take her out to dinner or something together, but when she gets there, she finds out it's a car showroom.

What does it mean?

Siyeon ran out to meet SuA, led into the store, then sat down on the sofa, an employee came to explain buying a car and needed SuA's sign, it was a sports car, red, suits SuA best

- Sing, you bought me a car? – SuA whispered to Siyeon, and the salesman was excited to do the paperwork because he had just sold a car, increasing his personal sales.

- You have a driver's license, don't you? I don't have a driver's license, of course I bought it for you, if I bought it for me, the car would be thrown away - Siyeon said innocently, blinking.

- Hmmm… is this a birthday present? This gift is too big, you don't have to, anyway, we all travel by company car.

- So what? Do you think I'm poor? -  Siyeon narrowed her eyes.

- Not just….

- We can only use the company car when we go to work, we go out on our own, we have to buy a car so we can go out further.

- …………… - SuA is speechless, she learned and got her driver's license since she was a trainee of DCC, now it's been 6 years, the number of times she actually drove a car was counted on fingertips.

She is afraid that she will have to take driving lessons again.

- In another month, we will have 3 days off in a row, let's go out together.

- You're not going to visit parents Lee, are you?

- You’re talking nonsense, if I go back to Daegu, I'll have to go with Jaejoong and have to act in love plays, do you think I want to? – Siyeon pressed SuA's head, blaming the person next to her.

- Hmm….then it's done, right?

- Yeah…

- Now I have to go to the company, have a schedule to turn on vlive for my birthday.

- You just go, I will call the service to bring the car home.

And just like that, the garage in Jaejoong's house had an extra car, in addition to his and father Kim's car, there was also Kim SuA's car. Everyone, after seeing SuA's new car, quickly wondered.

- The daughter of heaven, she said she would help her father change a new car first, but now she goes to buy it for her first - Mr. Kim pouted.

SuA was startled, it was true that she had that intention, she had told her father like that. Siyeon buying a car for her makes her very awkward, she can't publicize this car as Siyeon's birthday present.

- She will change a new car for you soon, Dad, please wait - Siyeon said for SuA, patting Mr. Kim's mature back.

SuA tried to get out of this awkward space, asking permission to go to her room early. In her mind, she thought that she had to change cars for dad Kim as soon as possible. She said it on television, but the passage of time made her forget.

She has struggled with the painful emotions of her relationship with Siyeon over the past few months, sometimes close to each other, sometimes as cold as two strangers, the turmoil causing her to forget about other aspects of herself life.

Now everything is better, she and Siyeon freely express their feelings to each other when it's just the two of them, no more quarrels, no more arguments, accept the situation together and love each other in the dark.

The relationship between her and Jeongeui is still standing still, Jeongeui is also busy with her work, so the time the two meet is also less. She just started working so of course love is second.

SuA feels secure about that, so Jeongeui won't notice her abnormality.

But sooner or later she has to decide about her relationship with Jeongeui, because she can't lie to Jeongeui all the time, doing so will hurt Jeongeui.

The end of the year is the busiest time for kpop, groups race to attend award ceremonies, music shows big and small, Dreamcatcher too, is busy. They have to get up at 5am to do makeup, come home at 11pm everyday.

Since Siyeon and SuA came out of the dorm to live elsewhere, the company rented a private car to transport the couple. The black car stopped at the house of the Kim family, SuA and Siyeon got out and walked step by step through the green flower garden to enter the house.

- The piled up schedule makes me so stressed - SuA rubs her temples.

- Don't rush into the house, let's go get some fresh air - Siyeon pulled SuA's hand.

- Where do you want to go?

---

SuA's red sports car runs on the road. After being bought by Siyeon for a new car, SuA went back to driving lessons and started driving more practically to drive better, in her passenger seat there was always Siyeon. She often takes Siyeon to the movies, to eat, to buy things.

At first, when they got into the car, the two of them didn't know where to go, thinking simply that they would drive around to relax and then go home, halfway there, Siyeon had an idea to go to Muuido Island, far from downtown Seoul 50km. To get to this island, you have to drive through Incheon airport, then go through 2 large bridges connecting the mainland to the island, then arrive.

SuA was obviously tired at first, but Siyeon suggested going sightseeing so she was in high spirits, driving very excited without knowing what fatigue is. It is true that recently she and Siyeon have only focused on work, have no time for each other, if there is, it is just the time when they sleep together in SuA's room, the rest are completely separated. Because in front of the camera, both of them have to be less friendly. There are days when the two can only look at each other, can't sit next to each other, because the camera around is on all the time.

It's great to be excited to go out this night, even though tomorrow's work starts at noon, that can't stop the two's desire to go out alone.

This is an island that has not been explored much, so it is still very wild, the beach is clear with no stains, white sand. There are not many tourist services around here, only a few motels and services, tent for rent overnight.

SuA parked the car, walked out with Siyeon, it's 1:00am at night, there are only a few street lights left here, the best light is from the moon. The beach has the sound of waves crashing, bringing a sense of peace.

- It's so beautiful, it's my first time coming here - Siyeon marveled at the simple and idyllic picture in front of her.

- You have never been here before? But just now you suggested to go here.

- Yesterday, I accidentally saw an advertisement about this island, so I was curious to go. Before, when I went to Seoul to pursue my career, I had few friends, so I didn't go anywhere much, just hanging around the dorm and the company. And you, how many times have you been here?

- I went only once, with friends.

- It's so relaxing - Siyeon closes her eyes, tilts her face up a bit, enjoying the air that flutters over her face.

- We should rent a tent to lie down - SuA looked around for services.

The two sat in the tent, watching the moon and stars together, the sound of the water flowing like a romantic song. SuA pulled out from her pocket two things, a necklace and a bracelet.

- I have a present for you.

Siyeon was surprised, the two things SuA was holding out had the same shape, it was for couple

- You will wear the necklace, I’ll wear the bracelet - SuA said and turned around, she pushed Siyeon's hair back and put the necklace around Siyeon’s neck.

- Why… when did you buy the ring? – Siyeon is still bewildered, watching SuA put the bracelet on her wrist.

- I bought it two days ago, but I haven't had a chance to tell you, just put it in my bag, now I suddenly remember.

Siyeon lifted her necklace, lowered her head to look, there was a ring attached to the necklace, the words in the ring were an English line.

“Always be on your side”

SuA's bracelet also has this ring and has the same inscription. That's the lyrics of the two of them in the song Wind Blow.

- Do you like it?

- Yes, the ring is so beautiful, did you order the design correctly, that's why there's this inscription?

- That right.

Siyeon smiled brightly, put her hands in front of her, and went to kiss SuA.

- Baby, I love you.

- I love you too, you will never leave me right? – SuA looked at Siyeon full of affection.

- Depends on your attitude.

SuA laughed, Lee Siyeon, whether she hates SuA or loves SuA, always has that hot and cold way of speaking. What a cat-like personality, often pretending to be cocky but actually living very affectionately.

- Let's go to sleep.

SuA zipped the tent and covered both of them with blankets, hugging Siyeon to sleep.

The next morning, the two got up very early to watch the sunrise on the island and then departed for the city center, because SuA suddenly received a call from Leez, the group's musician, music producer. He said that there was a problem with SuA's recording the other day and needed her to come and re-record.

So SuA had to go to work earlier than Siyeon, the two had breakfast quickly in the car and then went home. On the way, Siyeon was still sleepy, so she fell asleep, holding SuA's hand tightly and didn't let go. SuA looked at that cute cat and laughed.

- If you hold it so tight, how can I drive?

- I don’t care, if you can't drive, stop the car - Siyeon still closed her eyes tightly, her mouth dropped a perverse sentence.

SuA's smile still couldn't close, she tried to drive with one hand, even though it was a bit difficult.

The car stopped in front of the large house, Siyeon was about to get out of the car but had to stop after knowing that SuA decided to leave now.

- At least go home to change clothes, brush teeth and wash face before leaving.

- I'm going to be late, I'll change when I get back from recording, I've brought deodorant.

Siyeon showed a displeased face and rushed to kiss SuA passionately.

SuA was overwhelmed by Siyeon's actions, but also trying to respond, she placed her hand on Siyeon’s  neck to steady their position. The two kissed in the car for a long time before finally letting go.

- Sing, you made me late.

- If Leez criticizes you, tell him to call me - Siyeon said eloquently.

SuA laughed and said goodbye to Siyeon and drove off.

Siyeon watched SuA's car out of sight, then turned back to enter the house, when she took a step, she panicked and stopped, she was so shocked that she almost fell over.

Mom Lee was standing right in front of her, the door already open.

- Mommy? - Siyeon shivered.

- Dad and me came to play yesterday, but you didn't come home until now, come in - Mrs. Lee looked at her youngest daughter with a cold look, crossed her arms over her chest, and turned her face towards the house.

Siyeon followed Mrs. Lee, looking at the old woman's back trying to judge the situation, her and SuA's kiss just now must not have been seen, right?

Siyeon entered the house and saw that the living room was full of people, including Jaejoong, it seems he didn't go to work today.

- Hello wife - Jaejoong pulled Siyeon down and kissed her cheek.

Siyeon tried to show a happy smile, acting in love plays was a job she had to get used to for a long time. In the past when she hated Kim SuA, she had to act with SuA in front of the camera, this time she had to act with Jaejoong in front of both parents.

But this time, why is it so difficult for her, no matter what she does, her face is still a bit awkward, when acting with SuA, it's much more comfortable. Maybe it was because she had feelings for SuA but she didn't realize it, and never with Jaejoong.

How can she love a man, even though Kim Jaejoong is also ideal.

- How is your married life these days? Is it any different from dating? - Mr. Lee smiled peacefully.

But Siyeon knew it was just a fake smile, her parents' eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion.

- It's no different, still as sweet as the beginning - Jaejoong started acting, hands behind the chair where Siyeon was sitting.

- That's great, did Siyeon do anything to upset or displease her parents-in-law? - Mrs. Lee asked softly.

- She is very obedient and polite, we are very happy to have a daughter-in-law like Siyeon – Mrs. Kim smiles happily, her mouth looks awkward.

- Where's your wedding ring, Siyeon? - Mr. Lee asked seriously.

- Ah, I'm at work, so it's not convenient to wear it - Siyeon glanced at her right hand.

- Where did you go last night, but only showed up this morning?

- I have a lot of work these days, so I just go to the beach to relax.

This gloomy atmosphere creates an extremely scary feeling, because everyone in this room is pursuing their own thoughts, and looking at other people's faces to acting, no one dares to take off their mask out.

Siyeon is relieved that SuA doesn't have to participate in this conversation, her unexpected work suddenly comes in handy. If SuA sat here, she would definitely be questioned by Mr. and Mrs. Lee and they would hurt her.

End chapter 22.
