"How dare you ask your husband, details about some other man so desperately?"
Kiaraa gently pushed him and he let go of her, "Don't touch me without my permission" she warned him.
"So, with your permission I can, like that night?" he asked smirking lightly.
"Can you stop mentioning that night. That stupid night was a mistake. Stop talking about it and stop making me uncomfortable" She shouted at him.
"Sorry" Song Ji Hun was about to step away when she tightly clenched her fists, furious at herself for what she is going to do, "Who is he?" she again asked.
Although Kiaraa hated being helpless but after ten years, she finally found a link to 'that man'.
Years ago she gave up on finding him and accepted it as her fate, to never know who he is but today she unexpectedly got a new clue.
Song Ji Hun was surprised as Kiaraa never asks the same thing again and again. If anyone chooses not to answer her, she too ignores that person, instead of nagging them.
This was the first time she was being like this.
"Why are you so desperate to know who he is?" He asked.
"That's none of your business"
"Fine, since it is none of my business, I am not going to answer you" Song Ji Hun acted stubborn.
"Why do you care about the reason? You are a person, who doesn't meddle in other people's business. Don't tell me in the last four months, you became nosy like Aera" Kiaraa taunted him.
"How can I not meddle into my wife's business?" He narrowed his eyes at her.
Kiaraa frowned at him, "Stop talking like I am actually your wife"
"You are, remember we registered our marriage at the local district office?"
"It is a sham marriage" Kiaraa wanted to shout loudly but she restrained herself from doing so.
"Really? Then why did you suddenly show up at my wedding today morning?"
Song Ji Hun took a step towards her and Kiaraa took a step back, as he looked different.
"Why did you tell Aera, we are legally married and therefore even if I marry her, it won't make a difference?"
"Why are you pretending like we are happily married in front of our families?"
"Why do you keep claiming your rights on me?"
Kiaraa was about to trip as she collided with the bed but before that he hugged her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Why?" He seriously asked.
Kiaraa was speechless, she was not sure how to answer his questions.
"Don't you ever dare call our marriage a sham" Song Ji Hun warned her.
"If this marriage means so much to you, then why the hell did you agree to marry my sister and that too within four months of my apparent death?" Kiaraa questioned him.
"Because…"
"I don't care" she interrupted him and gently pushed him away as she was still in his arms, "What I care about is who this handkerchief belongs to. If you don't wish to tell me, then say so, don't waste my time"
Kiaraa stepped away and Song Ji Hun didn't stop her.
After picking up her towel, she headed back to the washroom for her bath.
He kept looking at her retreating back going through a turmoil of emotions.
Song Ji Hun kept standing there looking in the blank space when a phone call interrupted his thoughts.
Seeing the caller ID, he deeply sighed and stepped into the gallery outside, "Hmm?"
"They still don't know about the news, should I tell them Kiaraa is alive?" Yang Nam-il asked directly coming on point.
"No, it would wreak havoc, if they will find out" Song Ji Hun held the bridge of his nose worrying about the mess that is going to be created.
"But they will know sooner or later" Yang Nam-il warned him.
"Hmm, will see what to do when they'll know. Until then, let's try to delay this news from reaching them for as long as possible"
"Ji Hun, I am trying my best but like last time, I might fail again"
"Then learn from your mistakes and don't fail this time" Song Ji Hun hung up the call.
Yang Nam-il helplessly sighed.
