Our Contract Marriage

Untold Silence

"Why are you staying there? Soo-Yun, come here and join us." Mrs. Leon said with a warm smile. Jun-Sang rolled his eyes and grasped the fork tightly and started digging food in. Soo-Yun nodded her head and walked to them. "Sis, let's have your dinner." Soo-Yun's brother spoke, making her sit. "So, Jun-Sang, how was your trip with my daughter?"

"It went alright." He replied looking at Soo-Yun before taking a bite out of the food on his plate. Soo-Yun bit her lips and started eating her food. She took a spoonful and put it inside her mouth and swallowed it. "So, Soo-Yun, are you taking good care of my son-in-law?" The question made her choke slightly. "Are you okay?" Her mother asked worriedly. She nodded her head a little. The tension between Jun-Sang and Soo-Yun was getting worse. "Are you both having an argument?" Soo-Yun's brother asked out of the blue. "No Jung-Ki, your sister has so many issues with me." He replied. This made Soo-Yun's brother chuckle. "Well, she is having problems with everyone." He answered while shrugging. Mrs. Leon shook her head. "Excuse me." Soo-Yun got up and left without uttering a word. "Jung-Ki." Mrs. Leon looked at him angrily. "Sorry Mom." His response only made Mrs. Leon sigh and shake her head again.

Soo-Yun looked out of the window staring at the light of the city. She sighed and looked down, the sound of feet hitting the floor made her snapped out of thoughts. She looked over to see who was behind her but couldn't see anyone.

"Eat it." She heard him speak. She looked behind her and saw Jun-Sang standing beside her eating rice balls. "What?" She replied confused. "You haven't eaten your food. Eat it." He repeated. "I don't want to." She muttered. "Soo-Yun, don't test my patience." He said angrily. "Why do you care?" She spat back. "Because I am not heartless like you." He shot back.

Soo-Yun laughed sarcastically. "See the one saying who is more heatless than anyone." Jun sighed, annoyed. "Look, just eat that." He ordered. "I'm tired of people telling me what to eat or when to eat." Soo said angrily. "If you don't eat right now, you will regret later!" He shouted in irritation. "Stop shouting! You're too loud!" She yelled back. "Do you have a death wish!?" He screamed at her.

"Get out of my room" She told him coldly.

He was about to say something but decided against it. "Fine, I'll go." He said as he walked off.

She didn't respond and just stared outside. She was tired. Why did things have to happen? It was her fault that they ended up fighting. He had been trying to get along with her for the last few days and it was getting hard.

Soo closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. Maybe if she slept everything would be better.

Soo-Yun groaned and moved a little. She opened her eyes slowly and glanced next to her. "He is not here." Soo-Yun coughed a little. "I am feeling thirsty." She said in a voice that she didn't quite recognize, it was raspy and quiet.

She looked around the room slowly but there was no sign of Jun-Sang. A small sigh slipped from her lips. She looked at her side table, the jug of water empty. "I probably forgot to get water." She climbed down off the bed and took the jug before heading out of the room. She walked downstairs slowly as she didn't want anyone to disturb. Soo-Yun let out a sigh after seeing Jun-Sang was sleeping on the couch. She made her way to him and crouched down to his level to see his face clearly. His hair was mussed up, he looked so handsome, suddenly she felt the urge to touch him. She gently ran her fingers through his hair. He stirred slightly but then stilled again. She leaned over and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

"Handsome as always." She muttered under her breath Soo-Yun gently placed her hand on Jun-Sang's cheek. She gently brushed away some of his hair, moving her thumb across his skin. Then, she softly kissed his lips. "I am sorry for hurting you so much." She whispered into his ear before standing up. "I hope you will forgive me." Her voice had gotten hoarse and quiet again. Soo-Yun went to the kitchen and filled the jug with water before heading back to her room.

Haneul's face lit up as she heard the car brakes. She jumped out of the couch and made her way to the entrance. She immediately hugged Jun-Sang as he entered. Jun-Sang looked at Soo-Yun who was fully pissed off by Haneul. Soo-Yun rolled her eyes and walked away. "Haneul let me breathe." He said it bit cold.

Haneul released him from her arms. "Aish, I didn't know you were so grumpy." She pouted. "I'm not grumpy. I am just tired." Haneul nodded in response as they both went to the living room.

He flopped down on the couch and rubbed his temple.

"Are you sick?" Haneul asked concerned.

Jun-Sang shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Just tired. Can you make me a cup of coffee?"

Haneul nodded again and went to the kitchen. He glanced at Soo-Yun and then on the wall clock. It was 12:15 pm. He sighed. "I must go to the office." He muttered, catching Soo-Yun's attention. He stood up and started walking towards Haneul. "Are you done?" He asked.

She turned around with a mug in her hands and smiled happily. "Yes!"

He shook his head and took it. "I am going to the office." He told her. She nodded and watched him leaving.

Then, when he was gone, she went back to the couch and sat in front of Soo-Yun. Soo-Yun glared at her. "What do you want?" She hissed. "Don't get mad at me now, your husband always chooses me instead of you." She said, Soo-Yun raised an eyebrow. "So?" She prompted her.

She leaned closer. "Do you have feelings for Jun-Sang?" She asked bluntly.

"Dream on, I don't love a man like him." Soo-Yun sighed and headed to her room.

"I can smell something between them." Haneul said and sighed.

Jun-Sang closed his eyes, the moments of that night still in his mind. He smiled while recalling Soo-Yun's moans. How could he forget that voice, how it sounded like silk being blown and danced over the surface of a lake? How could he have forgotten how that voice would sound, how it'd make him feel warm inside? How his heart would race, his breath hitch, every time their bodies moved to the music. It was all because of her. Her body was just as beautiful as her voice. He couldn't stop thinking about her, even when he had no idea why his heart was beating so fast.

"Soo-Yun you broke my heart once again." Jun muttered to himself. He wanted so badly to be back with her.
