Hani started to wander her eyes around here and there, gulping hard, trying not to look at him earning another chuckle. “You are being shy, I see.” Tae-Hoon said teasing her, making her redder than she already was.
She covered her eyes with her hand to prevent herself from looking at him anymore and Tae-Hoon slightly laughed, taking her hand away from her eyes.
Hani bit her lips, getting nervous and shy. “Were not you the one who kissed me? Now, why are you hiding?” he wriggled his eyebrows, flirting with his wife. Well, he was a flirt king in his university and right now he was displaying his skills on showcase.
Hani widened her, getting up in the sitting position, followed by Tae-Hoon. “You... you were awake?” she asked, gulping with nervousness and Tae-Hoon tilted his head, frowning his eyebrows in confusion.
Raising his eyebrows, he nodded his head, realizing what she was talking about. “Uhhh, I was wide awake at that time.” she slapped her right hand on her mouth, thinking that she was doomed.
Tae-Hoon let out another laugh. “Why are you slapping your pretty lips?” he took her hand away yet again while pouting, his words sent shivers down her spine, making her more flustered than she already was. His flirting was no joke.
“But I am not talking about that day, I am talking about last night. When you said that I don’t love you and I am only taking care of you just because of this child.” Hani got confused, not remembering a single thing, the last thing on her mind was taking medicine with a glass of juice.
“But then I told you I love you and you said you love me too.” Tae-Hoon said not sensing her confusion yet and Hani widened her eyes at the word ‘love’ coming out of his mouth.
“And you came this close to me and then...” he leaned his face closer to her, making their noses brush against each other and blew a kiss in the air, making a kissing sound, “kissed me.”
Hani was at a loss for words. First, whatever Tae-Hoon was uttering was not a part of her memory from last night and second, the SHIM FREAKING TAE-HOON was saying that he confessed to her last night and now was being that close to her that she could feel his breath on her lips.
Gulping down the saliva she leaned back slightly. “I... did that?” she asked still trying to process the whole situation.
Tae-Hoon's jolly mood died as he looked at her in confusion. Leaning his head back as well he asked, “You seriously don’t remember anything from last night?” his heart sank when Hani shook her head in denial.
Her cheeks were still red as she bit onto her lower lip. “Then tell me.” suddenly he was holding a serious gaze as all his flirtiness died.
Hani looked at him blinking her eyes rapidly. “Do you remember anything from that night, in the hotel room?” Although that day was horrendous, nothing about it was pleasing to remember, getting drunk by her cousin’s plan and then ending up with Tae-Hoon leaving her. Only these first and last things were in the memory compartment of her brain while the things in between vanished by the time she woke up.
Getting chills through her spine, she looked at him with widened eyes, asking herself why he was mentioning that day all of a sudden.
She swallowed in nervousness and honestly answered him. “No... I don’t." Tae-Hoon scoffed and got down from the bed. “What... happened?” Hani asked at his sudden change in mood.
Sighing in frustration, Tae-Hoon ran his hand through his hair. “Do you not remember I prevented you from taking the shot of Tequila which was forced onto you by your cousins and saved you from getting raped by an ugly a** old man?” his veins were popping out as he clenched his wrists waiting for her reply, but he still did his best to control his emotions.
“What?” she could not believe her ears. It was fine until he took the shot of tequila for her but about the old man thing, she could not help but shiver.
Wrapping her hands around herself, she could not help but be grateful for Tae-Hoon being present at the same time. “Looking at you it feels like I was always the bad guy, right?” he asked feeling hurt.
“No... no.” Hani said still in horror of the thought of getting raped. “What no... tell me, even for one second you did not think that I might have forced myself on you?” he asked, his eyes telling her that he was really hurt.
She had no more words to say since that thought had really crossed her mind more than once. “Your silence is telling me everything.” he said feeling a dagger piercing its ways to his heart.
He stood up from the bed and gave her a ninety-degree bow. “I am sorry that I became the cause of your family’s sadness and sorrow. Sorry that I was the bad guy for you.” he said still in that bowing position.
“No.” Hani whispered and came forwards, walking on her knees on the bed, she took his hand in her and said, “You are not the bad guy. I never blamed you even once for...” Tae-Hoon did not let her complete her sentence and jerked his hand away from her grip.
“Oh stop this nonsense.” he smirked. “Thank you for making me realize how does heartbreak feel like.” he was being sarcastic. "A pathetic jerk like me should experience such a thing at least for once." he chuckled bitterly, remembering how many hearts he had broken.
Tears prickled in Hani's eyes as he spat those bitter words at her face, hanging her head low and sniffing a bit she apologized, “I am sorry.” even knowing that she had no fault she still apologized not wanting Tae-Hoon to be upset with her.
