My Wife Friendzoned me because I'm a Mafia

Haneul sat in the hospital's garden, waiting for Yeom Tae to come and pick her. She was still wondering if he had heard her reply or not. He wouldn't have cut her off if he had heard it right? Maybe her voice was inaudible, considering she had whispered. She sighed. What impression could that leave on him?

Soon, she saw Yeom Tae walking towards her in a hurry. He might be worried that he ran late. He didn't though. All Haneul had to wait turned out to be 5 minutes. Yeom Tae's parents' house was surprisingly closer to the hospital than the apartment. A quick trip to hospital when she could be on call; it was perfect.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Yeom Tae reached her and asked right away, almost out of breath.

"No." Haneul shook her head, "And breathe." She added.

Yeom Tae exhaled and inhaled slowly before offering his hand to Haneul. Haneul instantly held it and he comfortably turned around to walk her away towards the car.
