Hidden Wife: Best Husband

After finishing dinner, they continued to talk again in the family room while enjoying television programs. They really didn't waste a moment of gathering together that wouldn't necessarily happen once a year.

After finishing dinner, they continued to talk again in the family room while enjoying television programs. They really didn't waste a moment of gathering together that wouldn't necessarily happen once a year.

As it was getting late, more and more people came. They were mostly relatives of Hae Sok's brother and sister's children. They took turns visiting the elders of each family if there was a certain event.

Soo Yin just sat in the corner without a word coming out of her lips. She didn't understand what they were talking about at all. Unlike Aeri who talked fluently with all of them because she was already used to it. Aeri had known Dae Hyun's extended family for a long time, so of course she already knew a lot about the family.

Soo Yin sat in the corner right behind Aeri. So she could notice that some people were looking at her like a stranger.

Dae Hyun gathered with the men in the living room so Soo Yin can't possibly be among them.

"Aeri, who is sitting behind you? I think I just saw her face," said one of Dae Hyun's relatives who came from out of town.

"Ah, I almost forgot," said Aeri as she turned to look at Soo Yin.

"Soo Yin, move closer to me. Aren't we family? Don't be too far away like that," Aeri said as she pulled Soo Yin's hand.

Inevitably Soo Yin shifted her body slightly to sit right next to Aeri. They were currently sitting on the floor on a mat.

"This is Soo Yin. She is my husband's second wife," Aeri said with a smile.

People who didn't know about the news looked shocked until they gaped at Aeri's words. Some of them even shook their heads in disbelief.

"Aeri, you're not wrong, are you?" said one of them.

"Of course not. At first she worked as Dae Hyun's secretary. Turns out they were secretly married," said Aeri.

"You're not angry that your husband remarried?"

"Of course I was angry. I'm a normal woman, I would be angry if I found out my husband remarried. But now I'm trying to accept everything. The most important thing is Dae Hyun wouldn't leave me because Yeon Ho still needs a complete family," explained Aeri with a sparkling face.

"Oh my, you really are a very strong woman, Aeri."

People started praising Aeri, until her heart soared to the sky. Because this was what she wanted. It turned out that it was not in vain, accepting Soo Yin as her husband's affair would have a tremendous effect for her.

"I'm just trying to accept it. Even though it hurts at first but after a while maybe I'll get used to it," said Aeri shyly.

With Aeri's confession that she accepted her as the side-chick, Soo Yin felt even more cornered. She felt that everyone who had been acting normal was now looking at her with disdain.

"Sorry, I have to go. I want to go to the toilet for a bit," said Soo Yin, who was starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Too bad they wanted to know you," said Aeri with pouting lips.

"Just a moment. I'll be back later," said Soo Yin who immediately stood up and then left them all.

"She looks so innocent," said one of them when Soo Yin was out of sight.

"Of course, that's why my husband loves her. Doesn't a man really like innocent and clumsy girls? You better be careful if your husband is close to a girl like that," said Aeri, followed by a crisp laugh.

"Well, you're right. We'd better be careful from now on."

After washing her face in the sink, Soo Yin opted out through the side door to get some fresh air.

With unsteady steps, Soo Yin walked across the courtyard to a bench located under a tree. The lighting was so dim that it was impossible for anyone to see her.

Soo Yin tightened the sweater that was wrapped around her body as a light breeze started to blow. There, the atmosphere was calmer and made him comfortable.

Honestly, Soo Yin was sleepy but she didn't know where to sleep. Although there were many rooms in this house, but the relatives who came also a lot. It felt like it won't fit if one family occupied one room.

Soo Yin looked at the sky covered in clouds. The weather tonight didn't seem to be too bright. If she knew it would be like this, it would be better if she didn't come. But Soo Yin really felt bad for Hae Sok.

The longer the night wind hit her, it made her feel like someone was stroking her. Until Soo Yin closed her eyes by leaning against the back of a wooden chair.

In the living room, Dae Hyun looked around at the women who were chatting.

"Honey, are you looking for someone?" asked Aeri who was standing behind Dae Hyun.

Dae Hyun immediately turned around. As a man who knew Aeri for a long time, he did not believe in Aeri's very sweet attitude.

"Hmm, where is Soo Yin? I haven't seen her ever since," stated Dae Hyun with a flat face.

"She asked to go to the toilet for a bit, but she hasn't come back until now. Maybe she's already sleeping in the room," Aeri said.

"Alright, I'll look for her," Dae Hyun said worriedly because Soo Yin must be lonely.

"Dae Hyun, where are you going?" one of the middle-aged women, who was a close relative of Hae Sok, stopped him.

"Aunt Min-hwa," greeted Dae Hyun then bowed his body.

"Now you're very mature and success. Although I heard that there's a little problem. But thank God because everything has passed," said Min-hwa while smiling.

"It turns out that we haven't seen each other for a long time," continued Min-hwa.

"Right, Auntie. We've met at my wedding," Dae Hyun said.

"Hopefully your marriage will last forever even though there is another woman in your heart. Remember the first wife should be prioritized because she is the one who supports us when we are down. Unlike the young wife who met you when you're already successful," Min-hwa said with a chuckle.

"No need to be like that, Auntie. For me the most important thing is Dae Hyun being able to be fair between the two of us is more than enough. After all, Dae Hyun said he forced Soo Yin to marry him. So I believe Soo Yin is a good girl," said Aeri as she glanced at Dae Hyun who wore a sour face.

"You're an incredible woman, indeed," Min-hwa praised Aeri.

"Auntie, I'd better go. Please continue your conversation," said Dae Hyun.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Even though we've only been chatting for a moment," said Min-hwa.

"Auntie can ask Aeri to accompany," Dae Hyun said then walked away from the two women. He was very sure that there was an ulterior motive in Aeri's drastically changed attitude towards Soo Yin.

"We should join the others again," Aeri asked Min-hwa.
