During that night, Jung-Hee felt as though she was riding a terrifying roller coaster. She kept being thrown from one state of mind to another, without having one moment to breathe.
First, she had felt fright, panic and then despair. After all that, Yu Yeong came along and she slowly went from hopelessness to apprehension. And now, the sudden relaxation of her taut nerves caused Jung-Hee to come close to a mental breakdown.
It hadn't been easy to keep her emotions in check all this while. Now that she was powerless to stop everything from bursting out, Jung-Hee felt completely overwhelmed.
As if sensing the emotional struggle his wife was going through, Hyun embraced her tightly. He placed his chin on top of her head, pressing her body against himself. He spoke words of comfort, breathing out softly into her hair.
"Shh. It's alright. We're safe now. Shh. Don't cry, Jung-Hee. It will be alright, my love."
