"I honestly won't believe that. Nayeon and You? Not arguing? That's clearly impossible. Since when did you not argue?"
I looked down in embarrassment and answered
"Yeah we'll still argue, that's for sure. But what I mean is that we'll not argue again, not here at our house at least"
She scanned my whole being and I was engulfed by self-doubt instantly
Is she mad at me?
Will she kill me?
I think not, she didn't get mad at me when I left her when she was sick one time, that situation is far more serious than this so maybe she's not mad?
She walked away from me but left the door open which made me smile a little, that means she's not that mad
I went inside and closed the door behind.
I just sat at the sofa then later on went out then went in the living room and watch random segments from the television while Jihyo went at the kitchen. I heard the splash of water, maybe she's washing the dishes.
The sound of water stopped after about 3 minutes but she didn't entertain me, she's not even recognizing my presence. It's clear that she's ignoring me.
She's now cleaning in the living room, holding the vaccum on her hands. She bumped the vacuum at my feet purposely like irritating me and then act like nothing happened.
She was placing back the appliance back when I stood up and walked towards her.
"W-what are you doing?"
She asked as she freeze in her place because I hugged her from the back, she wasn't expecting it.
I rested my forehead at the back of her head
"Are you mad at me?" I asked gently but got nothing in reply, she just stayed there
"Ji, I'm sorry. Please forgive me"
Some might be wondering why I'm apologizing to her, well it's because of my argument with Nayeon earlier. It might not be a big deal for Jihyo but I know her too much, she's not just mad that we argued again (Nayeon and I) but she's also jealous.
"Babe, please talk to me" I plead but still, silence
I can feel my eyes melting with tears, I'm such a bad partner.
"Jagi, please. Tell me what should I do for you to forgive me. I'll do everything"
I pulled back a little from the hug to wipe my tears with my right hand.
Jihyo suddenly stepped forward so I immediately locked her in my arms again as I thought she'll walk away
"You're hug is too tight Jeongyeon, please let go"
With that, I let go of the hug and just looked down crying me eyes out
"Shh, why are you even crying? Hush now I'm not mad at you"
Jihyo comforted me as she gently wiped away my tears.
I didn't answer immediately and just hugged her again
"I'm sorry"
"It's fine" she answered as she caressed my back
"It's already 9 pm, we should sleep now and you need to go to work tomorrow. Come on" she offered
"Okay"
"Ji" I called her
"Hm?"
"I love you do you love me too?" I asked as we were already laying in bed, she turned her head at me and smiled
"Of course, that's why I married you"
She answered
"~Please tell me the magic word~"
"You already know it, please don't make me shy"
"Hmp, okay then" I faced my back at her and pretended to sleep
She just hugged me sideways but I act like I'm not affected at all when I am actually feeling the butterflies inside my stomach.
"I love you Jeongyeonie, forever"
She whispered
With that, I faced her again and we slept hugging each other
....
3 Years Later
"Jagiya! Please pick up Mina chan, it's already 12"
Jeongyeon then left and picked up her 7 year old daughter
"Appa!!" The child greeted her mother as she run
"You're bright today, what happened my penguin?"
Asked Jeongyeon as she carried her strangely-talkative daughter towards their car
"I have a story later appa, but I want omma to hear it to so let's go"
Jeongyeon complied and drove home
"Omma we're home!!"
"My minguin, how's school?" Jihyo asked as she greeted her daughter with a motherly kiss
"Omma, appa, I met a tiger today, she's so cute and her name's Chaeyoung. I want to play with her forever"
Both woman looked at each other and smiled meaningfully
"Is that so?, We know who's her omma, do you want to ask aunty Nayeon and aunty Momo to play with your tiger forever?"
"Nae!! Let's go!!" The child cheered and jumped in happiness
The married couple stared lovingly at their daughter and wished for a happy journey
