chapter 22
Chapter 22.
The next morning, SuA woke up lazily, she had fallen asleep on the sofa, the TV was still on.
So she voluntarily waited for Siyeon for a long time until she couldn't wake up anymore and fell asleep.
But Lee Siyeon never came home, which means all SuA’s conjectures were correct.
SuA starts her new day, she needs to feed Gahyeon, prepare everything and go to the airport, she has a work schedule in Japan. A few hours later, Mrs. Jeong came home, SuA sent baby Gahyeon to Mrs. Jeong to take care of, then she took a taxi to the airport.
SuA hasn't told Siyeon about this schedule and she doesn't know how Siyeon's work is going, if Siyeon has enough time to look after Gahyeon, so she sent Gahyeon to Mrs. Jeong full time until she returns.
---
Siyeon woke up quite late and checked out of the hotel room and returned home.
When she entered the house, it was past noon, a quiet and empty atmosphere caught her eyes, and both SuA and Gahyeon were nowhere to be seen.
Siyeon picked up the phone and called SuA
“Singnie, I hear you”
- Where are you? Why is there no one at home?
“I have a business schedule in Japan for a few days, sitting in the waiting room. I send Gahyeon to Mrs. Jeong to take care of, if you're free, you go over to Mrs. Jeong's house to pick up Gahyeon, I've prepared enough milk bottles for a few days, stored in the fridge."
- What date are you coming back?
"I don't know yet, I'll let you know later"
- ……………………. – Siyeon is quiet, she doesn't know what to say next, is there any other topic to talk about? she really doesn't want to hang up right now because she wants to hear SuA's voice.
"Is there any other problem?"
- ………….no….please fly carefully.
"Singnie"
- What's wrong? - Siyeon replied in anticipation.
“I put aloe vera juice and liver detox drink on the table, drink it”
Siyeon turned to look at the kitchen table, her heart unconsciously beating faster.
- ………… thank you.
"I'll hang up"
- Bye.

A week passed.
SuA finished her business trip, her flight back to Incheon Seoul landed at 10 pm, it took another hour for SuA to return home.
When SuA entering the familiar house, the figure of Siyeon sleeping on the sofa appeared, she looked a bit tired, sleeping but her forehead was still a little wrinkled, having a nightmare or something.
SuA took off her coat and went to store her luggage, she looked into Gahyeon's room to check, the baby was sleeping soundly. SuA kissed Gahyeon on the forehead and went to the living room.
She sat down on the empty part of the sofa, silently looking at Siyeon. The more she looked at that picture, the more peaceful she felt because it had been a week since she had seen Siyeon. For a long time, if she ever went far away, she would go away for 1 or 2 days, but this time her business trip was a bit long, up to a week.
And two days from now she had another business trip, which lasted for another week, in Singapore. Recently, DCC has implemented many international projects, so she is quite busy, but the upcoming trip to Singapore will be the last. After that, she will not fly abroad anymore, because the rest of the work will be delegated to the directors below.
SuA felt a bit tired from this hectic schedule, but also told herself that it would be over in a week, then she would spend more time resting.
SuA saw some dark curls fluttering and landed on Siyeon's face, she gently smoothed them out.
Siyeon slowly opened her eyes because of the touch, she saw that SuA had gone home.
Yesterday, SuA texted that she was going home today, taking a late night flight.
- Are you back?
- Yeah, I just got back.
- You must be very tired, go take a shower, I have prepared hot water for you.
- It's late, why are you sleeping here? go to the bedroom - SuA's hand is still casually resting on Siyeon's shoulder after stroking her hair.
- Because I want to wait for you.
- You look tired, what's wrong?
Siyeon feels happy inside, this is one of the rare times that SuA shows that SuA cares about her feelings.
- It's just work, Wendy is stressed by work and love affairs, so she smoked a cigarette recently, and was caught and photographed by paparazzi. The news was in the newspaper and she was criticized a lot, every day I had to answer dozens of phone calls and answer journalists.
- Do you need any help?
Siyeon looked up at SuA, touched by how gentle she was now. 3 months have passed since Gahyeon was born, SuA has now regained her old seductive figure. Kim SuA is really a person who is very strict with herself, she always plans and follows through. She's busy working, busy with Gahyeon, but she still has time to take care of herself, practice a lot of sports, that great personality is really attractive.
SuA can be good at anything, both corporate work and childcare, she excels at all of the things at the same time even though it's not easy.
Siyeon is really immersed in Kim SuA's amazing personality and outstanding good looks, there's no way out. But this brilliant person no longer loves her.
She had thoughts of wanting to give up the kind of deep feelings she had for SuA, she spent more time chatting and hanging out with Solar, she thought that Solar would help her forget Kim SuA.
Kim Solar is a very sincere and kind person, Siyeon did not choose to refuse Solar, she followed Solar's every appointment with a relaxed spirit, the two simply met, ate, and talked.
But when she met Kim SuA again, her heart was pounding like she just fell in love.
- Hug me.
SuA accepted the request, she bent down and hugged Lee Siyeon.
Siyeon was just waiting for that, burying her face deeply into SuA's striking blonde hair, she held SuA tightly to her like if she let go, SuA would disappear.
It's been a long time since she's been close to Kim SuA, more than 2 weeks have passed, she really misses SuA. She remembers the moments when SuA kissed her forehead, the moment SuA snuggled into her lap to go to sleep, the moment SuA used the hand to wipe the food stains from her mouth.
When hugging Kim SuA now, all the old sweet memories come back.
But unfortunately, they are a thing of the past.
- We…just stay like this….and go to sleep, okay? - Siyeon whispered in SuA's hair.
- Okay, but we should go to bed - SuA replied softly.
What SuA wants now is simply to make Siyeon relax, she sees that Siyeon's face is not good, it seems that Siyeon has lost a lot of weight, when she hugs Siyeon, she realizes this.
SuA took a quick shower and went back to the bedroom, Siyeon hugged her and both fell asleep immediately because the two were tired.
And just two days later, SuA again took off on a business trip, she informed Siyeon of all the schedules and set a return date. Siyeon takes care of Gahyeon alone with the help of Mrs. Jeong.
Everything was looking fine until Siyeon received a call, from mother Lee.
- Hello.
“……………………..”
- What? - Siyeon trembled, tears fell.
---
In Daegu, Siyeon's hometown.
One day Mr. Lee suffered from severe abdominal pain and went to the doctor, the doctor told him that he had terminal stomach cancer, with only a few more months to live. The whole Lee family is very distressed and afraid that Siyeon is busy with work, so they have not told her until now.
According to calculations, Mr. Lee will only have a week left.
Siyeon drove fast back to Daegu with Gahyeon. She was extremely indignant that people had kept such an important thing from her for months. Mother Lee said that mom was afraid that her spirit would be affected, because the busy work and relationship problems with SuA had caused Siyeon too much grief, so her mother did not inform her soon.
The story of her and SuA everyone around knows, the Lee family knows because she told it. They know that she and SuA are no longer in a love relationship, only taking care of Gahyeon together.
Siyeon took Gahyeon in her arms and sat next to Mr. Lee's bed. Mr. Lee had been in hospital for a few months and had just returned home. In the last days of his life, he wanted to stay home, so everyone took him home.
Mr. Lee looked at baby Gahyeon lovingly, Gahyeon innocently looked back at her grandfather and smiled brightly.
- Where is SuA, will she come here? – Lee Haeri, Siyeon's older sister asked, she is married and also has a daughter.
- SuA is on a business trip in Singapore for a week, I don't know if she can come back in time, I will inform her later - Siyeon answered and left the room.
She phoned Handong about this so Chenle could see Mr. Lee one last time, and then the phone rang.
It's Kim Solar calling.
- Hello
“Siyeon, how are you, what are you doing?”
- I'm fine, I'm in Daegu, how's work there? – Siyeon asked, she already knew that this time SuA's business trip was accompanied by Solar and a few other directors.
“The work is still in progress, what are you doing in Daegu?”
- I don't know if the work there can be done faster, or can it be delayed a bit? - Siyeon asked shyly.
"What's up?"
- My father has terminal cancer, only a week left, I want to ask how the work there, if it can be arranged... - Siyeon said slowly.
"Then I'll be there tomorrow, send me the address" - Solar replied quickly.
- Huh?
"I can arrange it, okay, I have to go to work first" - Solar hung up, leaving Siyeon bewildered.
That's not what Siyeon meant, she wanted to ask about the work there to see if SuA could arrange to return earlier, then she would call SuA to inform SuA about this.
- Siyeon, let's eat lunch - Haeri's voice called.
- Okay.

Singapore.
SuA chaired a meeting with directors and partners, after two hours of discussion, everyone happily shook hands because many agreements were made beneficial to both sides.
After the meeting is over.
- CEO Kim, has Siyeon called you yet? – Solar asked.
- What's wrong? – SuA was surprised that Solar mentioned Siyeon again.
- Her father has terminal cancer, she needs someone by her side, can I fly back to Korea tomorrow? I will ask Kei for the rest of the work - Solar straight to the point.
SuA mused, inwardly shocked when she heard that Mr. Lee was seriously ill. At the same time, she felt uncomfortable, because this information Solar knew before her.
So Siyeon needs Solar by her side.....
- Okay, the contract has been signed, the most important work has been done, you can go back to Korea if it's too urgent.
- Thank you CEO Kim.
---
The next day, SuA woke up and went to work as usual. Solar flew back to Korea this morning, so now it's just her, Kei and two other DCC directors, Taehyung and Jimin.
After lunch, she received a call from Siyeon's Kakaotalk.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
- I just finished lunch, I'll be back to work in half an hour.
"I'm in Daegu, father Lee has terminal cancer, he only has a week to live" - Siyeon's voice is very sad.
- I know, Solar told me yesterday, is Gahyeon with you?
“Yes, Gahyeon is here, Chenle and Handong are also visiting him today.”
- Well then, when I'm done, I'll visit him, send my regards.
“Can you come back earlier?”
- …………….. – SuA was silent, she couldn't say no to Siyeon because she knew Siyeon was in a bad state, if arranged, she could also return to Korea right away.
But Siyeon already has Solar by the side, SuA feels it is unnecessary for her to return to Korea early.
“I need you, could you come back to me sooner?” – there was Siyeon sniffling, it sounded like she was crying.
- Solar is on her way to you, she got on the plane this morning.
“……………………..”
- When I'm done, I'll go back to Daegu, send my regards to Mr. Lee.
“……………………..”
- I have to get back to work now, I'll hang up.
---
Siyeon looked at her phone for a long time…
She felt broken when she heard Kim SuA's heartless words.
She used to hope when sometimes SuA showed care for her, but now is the time when she needs SuA most and SuA chooses the job. Maybe SuA's other times of concern were just polite.
For SuA, Gahyeon and work are the most important, Siyeon is nothing.
Suddenly the phone rings
- Hello
"I'm back at Incheon airport, ready to go to Daegu" - Solar's voice.
End chapter 22.
