I Want a Husband

It was like she was running away. Cheongwoon, watching her silently, sighing low. Surely she knew what he was going to say, so she went out of the way.

“Woo.”

How to speak to that child. He also had little time left. I had to go back to the battlefield soon. Even if I don’t have any hesitation about leaving to the battlefield, it seemed that I wouldn’t feel reassured if I made that child leave my side.

Cheongwoon repeatedly clasped and unfastened his hands as a deep sense of tension kept rising from his feet. It already felt like my blood vessels were beating quickly. After a quick break, his sensation came back from being asleep.

Okay. Indeed, we already reached this point, so I have to finish it.

“Again… you’re leaving the battlefield?” Mrs. Yoo’s face, sitting face to face with Cheongwoon, became serious.

“Yes. This time, we will see the end.”

He already perceived the meaning of his son’s words, Baekhyu, who was sitting next to his wife, closed his heavy eyes. I already knew that this day would come. And I knew well what Cheongwoon wanted so much. Baekhyun, who had been silent all this time, asked with a heavy voice. “How long will it take?”

“I don’t know. But this time, I think returning won’t be easy.” He had never spoken of his own death before. I always thought about it, but I don’t want to hurt my parents, who already lost one of their children. Everyone had always been careful about the strength of their words, but Cheongwoon broke it first.

Mrs. Yoo has already endured shedding her tears. While I can’t even count how many battles Cheongwoon had already fought, he’s been on this line for a very long time. And his parents, themselves, simply respect his will.

As Mrs. Yoo’s face turned pale, Baekhyun grabbed her hand tightly. After a while, Mrs. Yoo opened her mouth in a slightly subdued voice.
