DTL Extra 4 part 2 [END]

‘I don’t think I have much choice’. ‘A very difficult man’. ‘You just make the decision’? Was that decision what he thought it was? Having come to a conclusion that he didn’t even want to imagine, SeonJae dropped his fork.

“Huh, SeonJae-shi. Fo-Fork…”

YeonJung looked around for a waiter. It was so dark that she couldn’t see anything. She was about to get up from her seat when SeonJae grabbed her hand. His expression was strange.

“SeonJae-shi, ah-re yoo okay?”

Her pretty brows furrowed as she asked. SeonJae’s hands were damp with sweat. He felt as if his whole body had stiffened from dread. He may never see her face again. No. That could never happen. He completely surrendered. He should have done this from the start. SeonJae tried to control his shaking voice as he forced himself to speak.

“YeonJung, it’s all my fault.”

“Hm?”

“I won’t make any excuses. I was completely in the wrong.”

“…SeonJae-shi.”

“Don’t leave me. I won’t give you a hard time ever again. I promise you.”

YeonJung’s long lashes blinked in confusion. She tilted her head, wondering if she had read his lips correctly.

“I’m sorry for getting jealous. I’ll say this now so that there aren’t any misunderstandings, but I’m not jealous because I don’t trust you. It’s just… It’s just like a reflex. It just happens…”

SeonJae couldn’t find the right words, so he began to chew on his lips.

“That day, I was so angry. I just don’t like other men seeing you. I don’t like them watching you, so I was being childish and got jealous. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’ve always been like this, you know that. I can’t control it. I won’t make it so obvious anymore. I’ll do my best to hide it from now on.”

YeonJung looked at him and slightly tilted her head. His apology for what had happened at the park had taken an unexpected turn. She realized now that the reason for his anger had been jealousy all along. She burst into laughter.

‘Aah. He was worried because he couldn’t get in contact with me, and then he got mad when he saw me with another man.’

“I was… careless. For treating you like that.”

As he began to fret, YeonJung glanced at his half-full plate of food. She realized now that he had been so nervous that he hadn’t really eaten his dinner.

“SeonJae-shi, eat ‘dis. It’s delicious.”

YeonJung took a fork and picked up a piece of steak. She held it out to him.

“Hur-rry.”

SeonJae opened his mouth and took the food like an obedient child. After chewing it several times, he swallowed it. Then his piercing gaze landed on her. YeonJung opened his damp fist that was clenched around her hand. Then she slowly wrote something on his palm.

I.

Love.

You.

YeonJung gave him a soft smile. A sigh of relief burst out of SeonJae’s lips. His eyes melted like snow the moment he saw her smiling face.

That’s right. This woman loves me. That text conversation was just her venting out her frustrations. After swallowing, he clenched his fist as if her written words were too precious.

“I love you more.”

“…The puppy…”

Her laughing lips suddenly began to talk about the puppy. SeonJae silently focused on her face.

“Is deaf. ‘Dat puppy… from the pah-rk.”

“……”

“But ah-pparently, he knows exah-ctly… when his mah-ster is coming.”

Because dogs that were deaf in both ears were more prone to aggression, not many dog owners took them in as pets. YeonJung was relieved to know that the puppy had found a good master.

“‘Dat’s why… he seemed soh much cuter and prettier… to me. ‘Dat’s why we were tah-king.”

The owner said that the puppy didn’t get along very well with other puppies. It only followed its master around. A corner of YeonJung’s heart stung when he told her this.

“‘Dat’s all, SeonJae-shi. Other than ‘dat puppy… I don’t remember the owner’s face.”

YeonJung gave him a mischievous smile and shrugged her shoulders. Possibly due to the sparkling wine, YeonJung’s face was flushed in the candlelight. SeonJae wanted to wrap his hands around that flickering face and give her a kiss.

“YeonJung.”

SeonJae called out her name in a strained voice. One of his brows slightly went up. YeonJung silently looked at him.

“I…”

SeonJae swallowed and opened his mouth again.

“I’m even jealous of your deafness.”

YeonJung quietly met his eyes.

“I’m jealous of all the people and even the animals that share the same condition as you. I sound like a crazy bastard, don’t I?”

She was still smiling at him. SeonJae’s lips trembled as he continued.

“I know that it’s a big part of your life. And I know that you have many scars from it, but that’s why I feel it even more. Your eyes naturally go to them, and when they look at you, they also feel a special kind of sympathy… You both understand something that no one else can understand. Because it’s only natural.”

The veins of his clenched fist grew even more prominent as it began to tremble.

“That’s why I feel disappointed that I wasn’t born deaf like you sometimes.”

SeonJae was scared. He was scared that his truth would become distorted, but he still wanted to tell her. 

This is how dishonorable my love is for you.

A sigh left YeonJung’s lips as she gazed at him.

“…See-riously, Min SeonJae-shi is…”

“……”

“Unstoppable.”

YeonJung knew what kind of heart was behind these words of his. She knew he wasn’t looking down on deaf people or being sarcastic about this at all. Sometimes, she was afraid of how honest this man truly was.

SeonJae learned sign language for her, and he even began to organize charities and volunteer events through his company because of her. He didn’t tell her this, but she knew that he would donate money to charities for babies who couldn’t get a Cochlear implant due to a lack of funds.

“Because I love you so much, sometimes I can’t cope. If I get this jealous of a dog running around your ankles, how much more do you think I feel towards other men?”

SeonJae laughed bitterly.

“I’m sorry for getting jealous, YeonJung. It’s my fault.”

“……”

“I wanted to say this to you properly. While looking into your eyes.”

“……”

“Because my wife looked so blindingly beautiful today, I had a hard time getting the words out.”

YeonJung got up. SeonJae’s eyes never left her as she walked over to him. Then she slowly embraced him from behind. His scent wafted into her nose.

“Shall we… eat our dee-ssert… at the hotel?”

SeonJae’s head whipped around and swallowed her lips. YeonJung was a bit surprised, but she didn’t push him away. Instead, she gently stroked his face as if she were comforting a child. SeonJae grabbed her slender arms and continued to kiss her without restraint. Then he suddenly stood up. He wrapped his arms around her hips and gave her another deep kiss. A groan left his throat. Their reconciliation didn’t end here. It was a good thing he had made a reservation at a hotel close to the restaurant.

As soon as the door opened, they saw the rose petals that had been sprinkled in the form of a heart on top of the bed. The towels were folded into the form of a swan. YeonJung thought they were cute, so she began to snicker. SeonJae walked across the room and opened the window. The window was wide and showed the view of the sea from the resort. The sky and the water was so dark that they couldn’t tell them apart, but the breeze carried the scent of the sea.

“What’s so funny?”

He approached her as he unbuttoned his cuffs.

“SeonJae-shi, ‘dis… the towels…”

Flop.

He pushed YeonJung onto the bed. Almost immediately, she felt him begin to unzip the back of her dress.

“Let’s use the towels later. I’m in a hurry, YeonJung”

He was saying that he was too aroused to stop and wash first. As he tried to unzip her from her dress, YeonJung escaped him and grabbed the towel swan that had dropped to the floor beside the bed.

“Thi’ is too cute… Haha!”

SeonJae threw himself on top of her once again. YeonJung could feel his weight. After pinning her down between his legs, SeonJae quickly took off his shirt. His hard chest and abs were revealed in an instant.

“I told them we were newlyweds. They must have thought we were on our honeymoon.”

“We’ve been mah-rried… fo’ six years, though…”

“That’s why we’re still newlyweds.”

Her body, now half revealed, seemed to be seducing him. YeonJung chuckled like a young maiden. Ah, he couldn’t take it anymore. SeonJae embraced her and kissed her lips. Chu, chu. He gave her light kisses until she opened her lips and furtively stuck her tongue out. Then the kiss deepened. YeonJung provocatively nibbled on his lower lip. SeonJae shuddered.

“SeonJae-shi… feel good?”

She drew in a breath as she asked in a thin voice.

“What do you think?”

SeonJae sucked on her tongue and pulled as he unbuckled his pants and lowered the zipper.

“Hnng….. Nng…”

A rugged moan flowed out of her lips. SeonJae continued to suck on her mouth as he tangled their tongues together. His hand gently snatched hers and brought it down to his cock that was still straining against his underwear. As she lightly squeezed it, something slippery began to trickle down from its head. SeonJae pulled her dress above her head. His hand slipped inside her thin underwear, and YeonJung let out a soft moan as she flinched.

“You’re wet. Since when were you wet?”

SeonJae stuck his forehead against hers and asked. YeonJung, who hadn’t seen what he said, merely drew in a deep breath. His touch began to draw pleasure from her body.

“…Wha’ did yoo say?”

SeonJae plunged his damp finger deeper inside her as he repeated his question.

“Since when did you want to do it with me?”

She definitely understood him this time. Her face flushed in an instant. YeonJung’s eyes narrowed.

“When you…”

“Yeah?”

“…Were shocked… that I’d lee-ve yoo… ah-nd grabbed me.”

When SeonJae saw her having fun underneath him, he lightly bit her pert nose.

“You like watching someone suffer, don’t you?”

As his finger entered even deeper inside, he brushed against a spot within her. YeonJung’s thighs trembled.

“Aah.”

The wet sounds coming from between her legs grew louder and louder. YeonJung’s hand on SeonJae grew even bolder. It traveled up his staff and gently ran her thumb in circles on the head. His cock pushed up angrily against her hand. She also wanted to be one with SeonJae as soon as possible.

“SeonJae-shi…”

When YeonJung called out to him with a whining moan, SeonJae finally pulled his hand away. He slowly guided his painfully swollen cock into her entrance. A hot, soft pleasure enveloped her body. SeonJae relished the painful delight that never seemed to dampen no matter how many times he took her. He pushed in all the way to the root and slowly ground his hips.

“Hnng… Hnng…”

A shrill, breathy moan burst out of her lips. SeonJae slowly pumped his hips. He enjoyed listening to the sounds YeonJung made. No one would ever hear her like this. He leisurely brought her to her peak.

“Seo…SeonJae-shi… Ah… Feels good.”

SeonJae squeezed her soft bottom and plunged deep within her. She lifted her chin and moaned. SeonJae placed gentle kisses along her jaw and neck, almost as if he were scared she’d break. His thrusts were soft and gentle. This world only belonged to the two of them.

“I love you, YeonJung. I love you.”

Her world squeezed around him. Pleasure filled his body almost to the point where he couldn’t breathe. SeonJae began to pound even harder. He endured the urge to explode and continued to pump pleasure into YeonJung’s body, causing her to moan several times. The night grew deeper.

Chirp.

They heard birds chirping from far away as well as the waves crashing on the shore. Afraid that they’d catch a cold from the breeze, SeonJae was just about to close the window when YeonJung grabbed him.

“What is it? Should I just leave it open?”

She silently nodded her head.

“Then let’s stay like this for a little while longer.”

SeonJae embraced her completely nude body and pulled the sheets over them. He looked at her as he swept back her hair like he always did. YeonJung gave him an impish grin.

“My husband is soh handsome.”

His lips stretched into a smile.

“And you said I wasn’t your type when we met, making my heart sink.”

“Hm?”

YeonJung didn’t understand him. SeonJae began to laugh again.

“I just thanked you for understanding it now.”

YeonJung’s tired eyes slowly blinked. He had bothered her for several hours last night, so she must be tired.

“I like SeonJae-shi… more and more wit’ time.”

Whenever she said these words so casually, his heart drowned with emotion. But YeonJung probably never realized it.

“…So I take it that this event was a success?”

He was glad that she couldn’t hear his trembling voice. YeonJung laughed, and he stroked her face with his large hand. Then he placed a light kiss on her lips.

He liked the way her small, perfect lips felt on his finger. He liked the feel of skimming his hands down her sleek back. He liked the way her soft skin pressed on his hard chest. More than anything, he liked the way she smiled when she looked at him. YeonJung held back a yawn and spoke.

“But SeonJae-shi, why… did yoo think I was mad?”

“It’s okay now.”

SeonJae really didn’t care about it anymore, so he shook his head. However, YeonJung grasped his hand and slightly narrowed her eyes as she blinked.

“Real-ly. I wah-sn’t mad.”

It was true. She was a bit disappointed in his behavior when they left without saying their goodbyes to the stranger, but those feelings melted away the next day. She actually felt a bit sorry for making him so worried that he’d leave the office and rush over to her.

“Then what were those messages from before?”

“Messages?”

“That you didn’t have much choice. That the decision was up to you. Wasn’t that about me?”

Pfft. YeonJung burst into laughter.

“Ah, it wasn’t like I was trying to look. You know how good my eyes are. I couldn’t help but see.”

He quickly explained himself so that she wouldn’t misunderstand as he shrugged his shoulders.

“SeonJae-shi, do yoo know… ‘dat yoo can be cute sometimes?”

“I know that isn’t a compliment.”

YeonJung decided to stop teasing him.

“It’ll bee your birthday in ah few days.”

SeonJae hadn’t expected to discuss this topic at all.

“Really? So what?”

He didn’t really care about growing a year older. In all honesty, he’d completely forgotten about it after the incident at the park. But what did this have to do with anything?

“So I wanted too surprise yoo, SeonJae-shi. I was thinking of wha’ to do.”

“For what?”

“Your preh-sent. Birthday preh-sent.”

As SeonJae watched her explain that she had asked Hyejin for some advice on what to get him, SeonJae didn’t know what kind of expression to make. Instead, he merely repeated the words she said like a parrot.

“…What?”

“SeonJae-shi is pretty picky. Your pref-ferences and hobbies. So I ah-sked other pee-ple.”

She could only agree with Hyejin when she told YeonJung that she felt SeonJae would just go ‘hmph’ as he tossed the present away. While he never tossed anything away, whenever she put her all into getting him a present, he didn’t seem particularly happy either.

Rather than receiving something, SeonJae enjoyed giving her things much more. He’d even joke around and say that he’d enjoy the present if she burst out of the box. YeonJung knew very well that he wasn’t joking when he said that.

“Ah-nd last year…”

YeonJung had fallen sick, and she’d stayed in bed for three days. On his birthday, she couldn’t even get out of bed. In the end, SeonJae spent his birthday taking care of their three-year-old child. He couldn’t even have seaweed soup¹ on his birthday because he was busy taking care of her. This had always bothered her ever since.

“You fool. Do you know how terrified I was for the past few days?”

He pinned her down and began to tickle her. YeonJung couldn’t continue speaking as she cackled.

“I thought you were mad… I thought you were mad, so you were really going to leave and disappear. I imagined all sorts of scenarios.”

The reason why she’d sit at the table and blankly stare at the calendar. Why she’d have such a grave expression on her face as she texted someone at night. Thinking back to all of this, SeonJae felt aggravated.

“Hahaha… SeonJae-shi… sto… stop.”

YeonJung squirmed as she tried to escape his fingers tickling her armpits and waist. When she pushed against his shoulders with tears in her eyes, SeonJae grabbed her hands and interlocked their fingers. Then he pinned her hands together over her head. He put his full weight on top of her and bumped her nose with his.

“Aah.”

“My birthday isn’t important at all, so don’t make my heart drop down to my stomach ever again.”

SeonJae’s resentment wasn’t totally gone just yet. He looked at her with a slightly victimized expression.

“I told you. I’m happy with you as my gift. Just being with you every single day is the most important thing to me.”

YeonJung pursed her small lips before giving his cheek a light kiss. This was why he couldn’t be angry with her. In front of this woman, the unrivaled Min SeonJae would turn into a complete fool. When she saw his ears redden, YeonJung gave him a soft smile.

“No, SeonJae-shi. Your birthday is… important too me.”

“Why?”

“Bee-cause I’m thankful.”

SeonJae’s heart thumped in his chest as his piercing eyes rested on her. YeonJung grinned. Her thin voice was like a siren’s song to his ears.

“Fo’ being born… I’m tha-thankful.”

“……”

“Fo’ coming to me. I’m thankful, SeonJae-shi.”

“……”

SeonJae embraced her and closed his eyes.

I love you. She whispered to him. I love you more. He murmured back. A slightly salty breeze blew into the room. SeonJae held her tight because he didn’t want to be apart from her. So that the woman in his arms wouldn’t be cold. No matter how strong the wind blew, he would block it no matter what. This was a promise.

* * *

Today, Mommy couldn’t hear the car beeping behind us. Something bad almost happened. So I told Mommy from the back that a car was coming. Mommy told me that her SooHyun was the best. Daddy told me that if I wanted to be as cool as him, I needed to protect Mommy when he wasn’t here.

YooKyung asked me on the bus why Mommy couldn’t hear sounds. I told him she was an angel, so she could hear people’s hearts. I know Daddy was the one who told me this, but this is true. My mommy is as pretty as an angel.

Today, I took a bath with Daddy. He asked me if I wanted a little sister. I thought about it for a while but I didn’t know, so I told him I didn’t know. Daddy told me that if we get a little sister, he’ll buy me the dinosaur I wanted. I like dinosaurs.

Daddy came home with a really big dinosaur today. As soon as he came home, he hugged Mommy for a long time, but he didn’t say anything. I held the dinosaur’s hand and hugged Mommy and Daddy’s legs. Daddy is a liar. He told me that men shouldn’t cry, but tears kept coming out of his eyes. Daddy is usually scary, but he becomes a baby in front of Mommy. Daddy’s an idiot. An idiot for Mommy.
