Chapter 40

Five seconds after she left, Jun was finally jerked awake by Jung-Hee's voice. The young woman was also  nudging at his back, trying to get his attention.

"Uhm, aren't you going to follow her? She's already inside."

"Hm? Oh, oh yes. Let's go, let's go." Jun answered and hastily chased after Madam X.

Jung-Hee looked at her husband, confusion written all over her face.

"What do you think it's all about?"

Hyun shook his head without replying. He didn't know and, in all probability, he didn't care too much either. After all, whatever Madam Chae-Won had to show Jun had little to do with him, or with Jung-Hee for that matter. As such, he simply took Jung-Hee's hand in his and walked slowly towards the house.

Meanwhile, Jun had already caught up to Madam Chae-Won's agile step. He trotted after her inside, shooting curious glances towards her face. It seemed as though he wished to read her mind with all that staring.
