MS Extra 3 part 3

After confirming that Ki Taeju had gone to the study, Euncho exited the suite.

It looked like he still had work to take care of, so her lingering presence might make him feel uncomfortable. She didn’t want to ruin the rest of Ki Taeju’s day.

After sitting at the desk she usually worked at, Euncho hunched over and killed some time in silence.

How did the day turn out like this?

Her plans for today had been perfect.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

When she had her short meeting with Jeon Hyungjoon, if she found him to be uncomfortable with this arrangement as well, she planned on telling him that she had also come out here at the insistence of her mother. Then she was going to have a nice dinner with Ki Taeju and go back home to share some affectionate time together.

But ever since Ki Taeju appeared at the meeting place, all of her plans crumbled and twisted into something unrecognizable.

Her thoughts continued to flip and flop over and over again…

Yeah… I was wrong.

But how could he have given her that hypothetical scenario? That’s definitely cheating. Even his intentions were from a bad place!

But Ki Taeju said that because he was angry. He wasn’t actually going to do it… He must have been very upset to say something like that.

But still. How could he…

As the thoughts continued to circle around her head, she felt like her head was going to burst. Euncho’s limp body remained hunched over the desk. Suddenly, her phone began to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket.

It was her mother.

Had Jeon Hyungjoon not said anything yet? Euncho stared at her phone for a moment before putting it back to sleep.

How did it go? How do you think?

Mom, your daughter is fucked…

As the gloomy thoughts filled her head, her nose began to sting.

‘Should I go back to the suite? But what if he’s still mad?’

His touch was warm, but his eyes were cold. She didn’t want to experience that again. His cold attitude was so heavy that it caused her to lower her head with her tail between her legs.

‘Go? Don’t go? Go? Don’t go?’

She cautiously stood up from her chair and looked around. Then she turned to the sudden ray of light that shot in from the side. The sun was beginning to set, and the bright light was shining through the large glass door. It was such a magnificent scene that she couldn’t help but feel small. Euncho stared at it in a daze as she opened the door and went outside.

Because it was almost the end of summer, the weather was a lot cooler today than yesterday when the sun began to set. Even though no one was around to use it, the pool was still full of water, and its surface rippled in the breeze.

‘Should I stay here for a bit?’

Going to see Ki Taeju seemed too overwhelming right now, so Euncho walked around the perimeter of the pool. Then she saw the minibar that she had worked so hard to fill.

She opened it without it giving much thought, and she saw that it was full of various drinks and beers. She was about to close it, but she stopped herself. Unable to overcome the temptation, she grabbed a can of beer.

“Haa.”

Euncho moved to sit on the rattan bed on the side, but she changed her mind and went towards the pool instead.

She took off her sandals and pulled the hem of her dress up until her pale knees were exposed. Then she carefully sat down at the poolside and dunked her feet into the pool.

She was worried it would be cold, but the water was at just the right temperature. The suffocating feeling inside her heart seemed to fade away somewhat.

Euncho silently kicked her feet so that it wouldn’t make any noise as she drank her beer.

She stared blankly up at the sky. In the brief time she had looked away, it had grown a bit darker.

By the time the sky was pitch black, there was a row of empty beer cans next to her.

“It’s cold now that the sun is gone.”

She murmured to herself and suddenly froze.

Her voice sounded so bitter and dry. The chill she tried to ignore suddenly surged at that realization.

Euncho frowned and pulled her feet out of the pool.

Drip, drip.

The drops of water fell from her calves. Euncho stared at the dripping water and bit her lip.

Was it because of the liquor?

She suddenly felt like it wasn’t fair.

Yes, she did everything wrong in regards to this incident, and no explanation could excuse her behavior.

But I only went out because I wanted to respect your wishes. Because you clearly told me you did not want to meet my mom. But if I wanted to reject the arranged meeting, I needed to tell my mom that I already had a boyfriend. But then my mom would naturally grow curious about who he was.

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

And I was afraid you’d be intimidated into meeting my mom at a time when you weren’t comfortable with it. I know I ended up making this mistake by thinking about all of this on my own. I know that, but was my heart coming from a bad place? Did I go out with the intent to cheat on you? It wasn’t like that…

The reason why she couldn’t say this out loud back then was because she was afraid Ki Taeju would take all of it as a mere ‘excuse’.

And didn’t he already say what he thought?

Did someone force you to go there? Is that really your excuse? Things like that.

And even if she were making excuses, she wanted to do it at the right time when his anger had faded somewhat. That’s why she left.

If she looked at the incident in this light, it made sense, but a scorching heat began to boil inside her heart. She never wanted this kind of summer to return, but it had come back with full force and was tormenting her again.

As the emotions rolled inside her heart, she lifted the can to finish it in one shot.

“Ugh…!”

Suddenly, the can of beer was snatched away.

When she turned her head, she saw the face of the man who had been in her thoughts this whole time.

She blinked up at him. Ki Taeju observed her face before covering her forehead with the back of his hand.

“How much did you drink?”

“Huh?… I don’t know.”

She was so lost in thought that she hadn’t kept track. Ki Taeju heard her slightly slurred words and realized he wasn’t going to get a straight answer from her. Instead, he looked around.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

He didn’t have to hear her answer to know what had happened. The crumpled beer cans rolling around the ground were proof enough.

After looking around, Ki Taeju sighed as he straightened up. Euncho touched her own cheeks and forehead and realized that she was quite feverish. Then she quickly grabbed his pant leg.

“Wh-Where are you going?!”

“……”

“Don’t go…”

Although Ki Taeju hadn’t said a word as he looked down at her, Euncho held onto his pant leg like an abandoned puppy. Her eyes grew wet with tears as she looked up at him.

Ki Taeju gazed at her teary eyes and sighed as he crouched back down. Then he took off his jacket and draped it over Euncho’s shoulders.

“You’re shivering like someone who’s about to freeze to death, so why are you asking me to stay here with you?”

As if he were afraid she would throw the jacket off, Ki Taeju quickly fastened the first button.

As if this was his intent all along, Ki Taeju walked to the rattan bed and picked up the folded towel that was meant for guests and brought it back to her.

“Is this your way of protesting?”

But then he’d go and say something like that.

He would act so warm and affectionate, but the following words would be the complete opposite. It seemed that the thorns of anger were still there.

Euncho grabbed the loose jacket and looked up at him with defensive eyes. The moment she felt him wipe the towel against the back of her knee, her mouth opened without a thought.

“You said you didn’t want to meet my mom!”

“I’m really angry, Ki Taeju…”

Ki Taeju tilted his head.

Within the darkness, the outdoor lamps turned on right on time. As she sat on the edge of the pool, with only the lamps to illuminate their surroundings, Euncho released all the pent-up emotions she’d been feeling.

As if he weren’t fazed by her words, he began to speak in a steady voice.

Euncho grabbed his sleeve as if she felt like he was going to leave again. She began to ramble as if she were saying whatever came to mind.

But all of her ramblings came back to one single point.

Everything happened because he told her that he didn’t want to meet her mother.

“Ha…”

Ki Taeju rubbed his brow as he gazed at Euncho with disbelief.

“And so you went and… nevermind. It’s fine.”

“What’s with the tantrum?”

He pinched her cheek as if urging her to come to her senses. However, he didn’t use much force, so it was completely painless. Euncho gasped. She gulped and carefully began to broach the subject.

“Ki Taejuuu. Don’t you want to marry me?”

“……”

“I think I want to marry you…”

“……”

“I-I don’t think dating is enough. I want to get married! I want to hand out pretty wedding invitations, too! I want to wear a wedding dress.”

The thought that she could just bask in Ki Taeju’s love and not get married. The thought that this love would continue on even without marriage. The thought that there wouldn’t be any problems if they didn’t legally establish this relationship with marriage.

All of it was a mask.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Since Euncho had already experienced separating from him once before, the thought that she could grab his ankle with something like marriage was too much of a temptation for her.

In the end, she ended up revealing everything she’d been thinking. When she saw Ki Taeju staring at her, she narrowed her eyes.

Euncho blinked her watery eyes. Ki Taeju was smiling. He didn’t even seem to realize he was grinning at her. A smile that only seemed to come out when he was looking at something adorable.

Completely bewildered, Euncho remembered his question and stammered out an answer.

Euncho raised her voice as she expressed her gripes. Ki Taeju turned his head and looked out at the wide pool.

The surface was peaceful underneath the night sky. Ki Taeju stared at it as he angrily swept back his hair.

“I don’t know. It’s just… I couldn’t even imagine that being a reality.”

Euncho stared at his profile as her eyes gradually widened. They began to sparkle.

Euncho slowly approached him and stuck her body up against his.

“What’s going on…? I’ve never seen you like this, babe.”

It was true. It was faint, but she could see it. Ki Taeju was making a face that resembled a lost child’s.

She had never seen this expression on him in all the time she’d known him. This was all very new to her.

She kept squirming up against him, so Ki Taeju wrapped his arms around her hips and lifted her up until her legs closed around his waist. Euncho naturally coiled her arms around his neck and whispered.

“What’s wrong? Are you nervous about meeting my mom?”

“Think about our age difference. Do you think she’d be happy about it?”

Euncho finally realized why he had been hesitating all this time. Euncho began to giggle. All the tension seemed to melt away as he helplessly watched her innocently gleeful face.

They were merely going in different directions, but the destination had always been the same.

They wanted to keep each other by their sides, but they were going down different paths. Euncho’s sunken mood immediately soared into the sky. Her slightly tipsy state also helped.

Ki Taeju licked the sensitive area behind her lips as he tilted his head. Euncho raised her hand and wrapped it around Ki Taeju’s cheek as she nibbled on his tongue.

They shared saliva and breathed each other’s breaths as the kiss deepened. A long time later, they finally pulled away.

As he got on top of her, Euncho’s toes curled as she kept her eyes on him. Her feet flung out of the water, causing the water to spray out. The ticklish feeling of the dripping water caused goosebumps to rise on her skin.

“Ah, that’s right. How did you know I’d be at that hotel? I really thought I saw a ghost and freaked out.”

Euncho rambled on as Ki Taeju lifted the hem of her dress. He looked down at her with a mix of emotions on his face. And her parents, who he’d see very soon, would probably feel this same feeling.

What a piece of trash.

One day, the copy of Euncho’s cell phone began to ring incessantly. He peered at the messages that were blowing up the phone and instantly was at a loss for words.

After he found out that text messages from Lim Kyujin had been used to kidnap Euncho, Ki Taeju had made a copy of Euncho’s phone while she was asleep that night. He could only listen in on phone conversations after they happened, but he could still read the text messages as soon as they arrived.

He never made a copy of her phone because he planned on peeking in on her daily life. It was just his way of doing his best to keep Euncho safe at all times.

However, because of the copy, he was able to learn that her mother had set her up for an arranged meeting. He learned that the man was two years older than her, and that the text messages stopped at some point, seemingly because Euncho had agreed to attend. He even saw the message that gave the time and place of the meeting. Ki Taeju’s heart was in anguish.

He even went to the location, hoping she hadn’t gone. However, when he went inside, he saw her sitting with a man who was around her age within the pleasant atmosphere of the lounge. As soon as he saw Euncho, he couldn’t see anything else.

As soon as he realized the purpose of this meeting, he began to feel emotions that were not even comparable to the ones he’d felt when he saw the photo of her kissing Lim whatever-his-name.

The one thing that kept him from storming over there and turning everything upside-down…

Ever since Euncho asked him if he wanted to meet her mother, the worry had begun to fester.

When he saw that text message, he felt his soul leave his body. Therefore, he couldn’t help but hesitate. For his potential mother-in-law, this was the appropriate age gap.

Although it wasn’t something he hadn’t expected, now that it was right in front of his face, the blow had hit a lot harder than he’d thought.

The gift he had prepared as a way to bribe her mother was almost completed anyway. He had been secretly preparing something. But he was worried she’d go off on her own again while he was preparing the wedding gift. He decided it would be best to move forward as soon as possible.

After receiving his refreshing permission, Euncho grinned, not a speck of anxiety in sight. The light from the lamps illuminated her face.

She dragged his neck into her arms as she swung her feet. Her movements caused the water from the pool to splash. When he felt some of the water drench his pants, Ki Taeju gently reprimanded her. However, there was a bright smile on his face as well.
