Part 32

Flashback

Namsuya sat beside Fano and then sighed softly. He handed Fano his latest cell phone.

"What?" Fano asked confused.

"You'll see for yourself, Hyung," said Namsuya whose hands still haven't taken the phone out of his hands.

Fano took Namsuya's and was immediately presented with a gallery on the cell phone screen. Fano pressed the center of the screen and then a video started playing on it. Fano rolled her eyes seeing the video, occasionally Fano looked at Namsuya in disbelief. While Namsuya himself sighed heavily looking at Fano.

After the video finished playing, Fano's shoulders automatically dropped. His gaze was blank. He forgot that the idea of ​​the contract marriage came from his superiors, it is certain that his superiors have a lot of evidence of his fake marriage with Rindi.

"Hyung, what I'm afraid of is not Uncle spreading this all. But what I'm afraid of is Rindi will make an unwanted decision," said Namsuya breaking Fano's thoughts.

Fano turned to Namsuya and then nodded his head in agreement. Fano rubbed his face slowly, Fano was really in a pinch now.

"You must continue to be careful Uncle," said Namsuya later.

Fano's head nodded in understanding, Namsuya is indeed Bang Hyu Sik's nephew. But Namsuya is still a friend who already thinks of Fano as his real brother. They have worked together for years, so Namsuya doesn't want Fano and his wife Rindi to end their marriage because of his Uncle. Therefore Namsuya showed all the plans that Bang Hyu Sik had planned with his only daughter Hyu Jin.

A few days later, with Namsuya and Fano's guess, Bang Hyu Sik called Fano to his room. Arriving at his superior's room, Fano bowed his head slowly and then was invited to sit with Bang Hyu Sik. The man in his 50s still looks dashing at his age, Bang Hyu Sik then sat on the sofa right in front of Stefano. His hand then held out a white map. Without hesitation, Fano took the map and opened it.

Fano looked at the paper in the folder and Bang Hyu Sik took turns. Fano then squeezed the end of the map a little annoyed. Bang Hyu Sik smiled mockingly then cleared his throat, the man who was quite instrumental in Stefano's career sipped his coffee slowly.

"Now you choose to part with Rindi or the contract will spread all over South Korea. I'm sure your parents don't know about this either," said Bang Hyu Sik as he placed his coffee cup on the table.

Fano looked at his boss with an expression of holding back anger. His hand gripped the map tighter. His breath was roaring with anger, Fano was doing all he could to keep his anger from exploding.

Fano stood up from his seat, Fano closed his eyes for a moment then sighed in exasperation. His body bowed to say goodbye to Bang Hyu Sik. Before actually leaving Bang Hyu Sik's room, Fano said.

"My marriage was originally a game, now it's not a toy anymore. I hope Bang Hyu Sik PD nim can understand my choice," said Fano then actually left Bang Hyu Sik's room carrying a copy of the contract that Fano believed was not the only one.

Bang Hyu Sik looked angrily at Fano who had disappeared behind the door. Bang Hyu Sik hit the edge of the sofa hard.

Flashback off

***

Stefano who is lying next to Rindi has not been able to sleep yet. He was contemplating how He could escape the problem that was pressing on him right now.

Rindi herself had been fast asleep. The girl was tired all day on the trip when she got home she had to cook a lot. Fano glanced at his wife who was sleeping soundly. A faint smile etched on Fano's lips. His hand reached out and adjusted Rindi's blanket.

Stefano looked at Rindi closely. Fano liked seeing his wife's soft face for some time. Fano sighed and then hugged Rindi, He carried Rindi's tiny body into his arms. Rindi moved slowly and then wrapped her arms around Fano's body as well. His head rested on Fano's chest without hesitation. Fano smiled then stroked Rindi's hair gently.

"Why not from the start? We're like this. Miane for doing so many wrongs to you, Rin," -sorry- Fano said.

Rindi who heard her husband's words nodded her head with her eyes still closed. Fano smiled slightly then tightened his hug on Rindi.

"Chan, wake up! It's dawn," Rindi whispered as she gently shook her husband's arm.

Morning came so quickly, even though Stefano had just closed his eyes it seemed.

Stefano didn't answer and still closed his eyes. But quickly Fano pulled Rindi and shifted his body so that Rindi lay back beside him. Rindi's body stiffened in shock, her face turning red instantly.

"Soon, just five minutes."

Fano whispered with his eyes closed. Rindi nodded her head stiffly assent to her husband's request. Rindi is regulating feelings and heartbeats that are not going well right now.

"Rin," Fano called softly.

"Yes?" said Rindi.

"Saranghae."

Rindi was silent hearing Fano's sudden words. This is the first time Fano has said words that Rindi couldn't even imagine. Rindi turned her body to take a position to look at Fano who had already opened her eyes.

Rindi looked at Fano's face, and their eyes met. Rindi really couldn't believe it now that she heard Fano say that. Fano held Rindi's cheek gently, Fano smiled faintly.

"Saranghae," said Fano again.

The cold and efficient man then put his pink lips on Rindi's luscious lips. With her eyes wide open Rindi held her breath in surprise.

Rindi had just finished taking a shower, and Rindi was still standing in front of the door. The little girl was giddy with herself. After the incident this morning, Rindi couldn't even look at Stefano one bit. Rindi felt ashamed because for the first time after so many months they were truly husband and wife. The sound of a knock on the bathroom door suddenly made Rindi jump up in surprise and hold her chest which was beating fast.

"Why is it taking so long? You're okay right, Rin?"

Fano's voice was heard from outside, Rindi turned towards the door and then took a deep breath.

"I'm fine, I was just about to go out," Rindi said, screaming a little because she couldn't control her feelings.

Not long after Rindi came out of the bathroom, Rindi who was wearing a peach-colored nightgown, lowered her head and didn't want to look at Fano at all. Fano chuckled then lifted his wife's head slowly.

"Ya! Am I so scary that today you can't even look at me," said Fano softly.

Rindi looked at her husband's chubby face, lately, his chubby face has been a little thin because of a lot of thoughts. Rindi then smiled shyly and shook her head. Fano chuckled and then cupped Rindi's cheeks.

"Are you embarrassed? I am your husband, why should I be ashamed? Sooner or later everything will happen, and..."

Fano hung up on his words and glanced at Rindi's flat stomach, his hand then held Rindi's belly gently.

"Hurry up, become my magic seed to become Baby Yoon," continued Fano and then kissed Rindi's stomach warmly.

Rindi rolled her eyes in surprise then hit Fano's arm lightly.

"Ya! What the hell, only 1 time," Rindi protested while looking at Fano who was still looking down in front of him. Fano then stood up and whispered to Rindi.

"Don't worry, Rin. One shot is guaranteed to happen."

Rindi rolled her eyes looking at Fano who ran out of the room leaving Rindi just like that. The little girl then smiled shyly while shaking her head.

***

The atmosphere is bustling again tonight, the difference is that this time they all gathered in the garden of Fano's parents' house. Rindi who was already wearing a nightgown was sitting chatting with her mother-in-law while cutting fruit. Meanwhile, all the men in this house are playing go-stop cards, which somehow Rindi doesn't even understand how to play.

"Are you guys going home tomorrow?" asked Rindi's mother-in-law.

Rindi looked up and then nodded her head with a smile.

"I will come here often later, Eommonim. I will make Fano visit often, Eommonim and Aboenim," said Rindi later.

Rindi's mother-in-law smiled, feeling happy to hear Rindi's words. His wrinkled hands held Rindi's hand gently.

"Gumawo, dear. You've changed Fano to become a better person," -Thank you- said his mother-in-law.

Rindi smiled and then nodded her head in agreement. Even though Rindi did not change Stefano Chan at all. From the beginning, Rindi knew that although the man had a cold face and was talkative, his heart was still warm. Fano is also a good listener, it's just that Fano is rarely able to express his feelings to other people.
