Chapter 431: Life Threat (1)
The fact that the medicine's effect had already run out was utterly ridiculous.
I bet an improvised marriage would almost prove to be a mythic-grade potion made just to appease Jung Hayan. It would even be more satisfying than brewing up an elixir.
If I were to exaggerate this a little bit, there would be no shortage in expressing it as the supreme elixir that could calm any anger.
'Is it too loose?'
I had to regret what had previously happened a little. I had said I was busy, but it only made me feel like I had neglected to manage her.
Of course, I couldn't help it when I had been in Salit's stomach with Elena.
'No, that's not it. If I think about it, it wasn't necessarily like that.'
I started to reflect on myself, but considering what I had done so far, I realized that I hadn't really neglected her that much.
As I knew how terrifying Jung Hayan could be when she was out of her mind, I had to devote my time to her to a certain extent, even during the busiest times. For example, I could take her out on a short date.
Even if my schedule proved to be hectic, I always made sure to hug her during breaks, and I even took a piece of my time to give her peace of mind by executing physical contact. I had done my best to take care of her.
Had it been her usual self, that would've been enough to satisfy her.
I thought that the reason reality came so quickly could be because she had raised her overall expectations. Had she been her usual self, she could have been satisfied with just having spending time with me like that, but the medicine called marriage had now raised the bars higher.
It was like becoming more and more resistant to a drug the more one took it into their body. This reminded me of the saying, 'Do someone a favor, and it becomes your job,' she also considered the favors I did for her as her natural right.
'I'm a bride-to-be, so it's only natural.'
'I'm a bride-to-be, so you have to do this much.'
It had been normalized at this point. I didn't exactly know what Jung Hayan was thinking, but I knew she was thinking those kinds of thoughts.
'I should have controlled my progress with her better.'
Looking at her madness-stained face, I realized that I made a terrible mistake.
The medicine I administered in Laios was certainly used too prematurely.
I thought about taking back her 'natural right,' but when I saw Jung Hayan's face, such an option had automatically been removed.
I didn't just rule out my thoughts because I knew that giving and taking it back was the worst I could possibly do. If I were to take away the rights she could deservedly enjoy, it could lead to a headache.
"You said we were going to get married... Sniff."
Even though she had been thinking of a scene I didn't even want to imagine, watching Jung Hayan cry indeed felt painful.
Her face displayed resentment against Cha Hee-ra, as well as her distrust of me. It was hard to see her like that.
She didn't openly reveal hostility, but she did express her dissatisfaction with me.
"I said I'm busy right now..."
"You... said we were getting married. Sniff. When are we going to... When? W-When!?"
