Chapter 252.2

Seoryeong felt an unsettling sense of discomfort as she looked around. He had sprayed some cleaner between the tiles, and white foam was bubbling up. Amidst that, a hint of red was faintly visible. She narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Why are you taking a shower all of a sudden at this hour?”

“I did a little something.”

He took a deep breath, filling his chest, and began scrubbing the gaps in the bathtub furiously again. Seoryeong leaned against the doorframe, a bit incredulous, and watched him.

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub! The old toothbrush suddenly snapped in half, showing how much strength he was putting into it.

“What did you do?”

“Cooking.”

As he sprayed the showerhead, faint red water flowed down the drain. Amidst the strong smell of bleach, there was a subtle fishy odor. Lee Wooshin, why are you lying to me? Seoryeong’s shoulders tensed.

“Did you drain the blood from some cow or something?”

“It’s similar.”

“Then where is it, the one you prepared, Instructor? From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like just a couple of servings.”

“….”

Silence fell, except for the sound of the shower. As he silently washed the tiles, the floor soon became clean as if nothing had happened.

“Did you kill someone?”

At her direct question, Lee Wooshin stopped moving. Seoryeong tilted her head dryly.

“Why are you lying to me? The smell of blood is overwhelming here.”

The frozen gazes of the two met in the mirror.

“It’s not beef; it’s a person, right? Did you torture them?”

“No, Seoryeong.”

He pressed on his temples and let out a hollow laugh. Why does your mind go there immediately? He muttered in disbelief.

“It’s not like that; it’s just training a junior I know.”

“….”

Once again, their eyes met, hiding their true feelings.

“There’s a guy going out to the field soon, and if I scare him just a little, he’ll spill everything. If I partner with someone like that, it’ll be a real disaster, Seoryeong. If he gets caught and interrogated, he’ll easily give up the partner code name, the house he lives in, and even the spouse’s name.”

He nervously pulled on the rubber gloves. They stuck tightly due to the moisture, and he clenched his jaw. Soon, the completely turned inside-out rubber gloves fell to the floor with a thud, thud.

“You know you have to chop the meat before frying the pork cutlet, right?”

“….”

“It’s just that. You don’t have to worry about it. It was complementary preparation of ingredients.”

“How can I not worry? My husband is chopping meat in our bedroom!”

“I was in a bit of a rush today.”

He frowned and scratched his chin.

“From now on, we’ll decide on a separate location. I have to chop it up somehow; at least I won’t get anyone caught.”

“….”

Seoryeong was at a loss for words. What was going on? What was she missing? Her heart rate began to rise.

She looked at Lee Wooshin, who still hadn’t come out of the bathtub, with a frown. He turned the showerhead back on, spraying water aimlessly at the floor. It felt as if he was keeping his distance, not wanting to approach his wife too hastily.

It was strange, especially since it was Lee Wooshin. Why hadn’t he given her a goodbye kiss after work yet? What was going on! Seoryeong suppressed her frustration and got straight to the point. There was so much she needed to discuss with him.

“Instructor, I’m going to Ukraine. The Kursk region. But I have to disguise myself as a couple for an international NGO.”

With a loud clatter, the showerhead he had let go of, spun around and drenched both of them. Water splashed everywhere, but Lee Wooshin didn’t move an inch. He merely stared at Seoryeong with cold, hardened eyes.

“This time, you’re coming with me.”

“….!”

“Follow me and keep an eye on me. I didn’t want to go at first, but I saw some strange photos. I think I need to check it out in person. No, I can’t go without you, Instructor. So, you’re coming. I’ll manage to live in two households. You have to follow me somehow. Ugh!”

At that moment, her face was caught, and her lips were swallowed.

What kind of household? He growled as he murmured. A hot tongue pushed its way in.

The shower hose continued to wriggle like a snake, and Lee Wooshin opened his jaw wide. The flesh that slipped between his lips cruelly touched her from deep within.

Drops of water falling from her eyelashes stung her eyes. Despite that, Lee Wooshin stubbornly twisted his head as he entered. As she lifted her heels and let out a faint moan, the man finally emerged from the bathtub and lifted his wife up.

Taking advantage of the moment their lips parted, Seoryeong urgently shouted. He was striding confidently into the bedroom.

“Wait, Instructor! Wait, let’s finish talking!”

“Sorry, Seoryeong. I can’t do this anymore.”
