I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chen Residence...

It was already dark. The sounds of the night crept through the windows along with the shadows of the moonlight.

The man sitting on the sofa was staring at the moon above, as if lost in his thoughts.

Zaki, who had just entered the study room, saw Sei in that state and he quietly walked towards him. He and Hinari landed in the country a few hours ago after everything in Country J was settled. Well, Zaki wanted to report to his older brother but he didn’t expect to see Sei looking like a wolf under the moonlight, howling silently in the of the dark night, seemingly missing its beloved.

"Sei..." Zaki then called out his name and the man simply glanced at him. "What’s with that face?"

"This is your fault, idiot."

"H-huh?"

"I told you to get married already, so my wife will at least come home even for two days."

". . ." Zaki was speechless. He didn’t expect this man to be actually sulking like this right now but somehow, he understood why. Davi going to country A was indeed all because of him and what she was working on was extremely confidential so Sei couldn’t go and just visit her whenever he wanted.

"D-don’t worry, okay? Hinari and I already talked about it. We just have to choose a date and it will only be the preparation left to do after that."

As soon as Sei heard him, something glimmered in his eyes. Sei then stood up and held his younger brother’s shoulders.

"My younger brother, I will choose the date for you."

"Okay, when?"

"Tomorrow."

". . ."

Sei looked at his wrist watch. "We still have plenty of time to prepare, and just to remind you, you made her wait for almost six years, don’t add any more days to it. Don’t worry Zaki, your big bro will assist you in everything."

". . ."

...

Thus, that night, Zaki went and spoke with Hinari. Well, Zaki didn’t actually protest at all. He even secretly approved with his big brother. It looked like he was pretty much the same as Sei after all, because he too couldn’t wait any longer. Besides, Sei’s flash wedding went just fine. It was even more romantic and exciting than any wedding he had seen before so what was wrong with him wanting to do the same thing? After all, he was Sei’s younger brother and what was the point of postponing the wedding when they could do it tomorrow?

Hinari also didn’t even utter a single word of disapproval. She instead looked more excited than him, declaring that that she too couldn’t wait anymore for him to call her his wife. She was obviously ecstatic and thrilled that she immediately brought out her notes where she had written down a list of people she wanted to invite to her wedding day. She also actually already wrote the things she wanted to happen and what kind of wedding she had been dreaming of.

When Zaki saw her notes, he couldn’t help but smile and kiss her. His woman really was prepared and he couldn’t ask for more.

The planning was over in no time and the preparation immediately began. The difference this time was that Sei forced the bride and groom to go and have a rest since he knew they just arrived from a long trip. Sei told them that their people will do the preparation and the two, who also felt the need to rest, happily agreed.

...

Somewhere in country A, a woman in a white labcoat finally stepped out of a certain huge lab. She looked quite tired as she sat on a chair but the first thing she did as soon as she removed her gloves and mask, was to check her phone. When she saw the photo of her beloveds, a smile carved on her face and she kissed the screen.

She had to devote herself to this experiment and gladly, it seemed to be progressing well. If this continued, she might be able to leave this place in a week and finally return home.

Thinking positively, Davi smiled. She missed her Sei and her little Shin so much even though it hadn’t even been a week yet since she last saw them.

As she looked at their faces, Davi looked at her wrist watch and saw that it was already past midnight in Country C, so she didn’t call Sei and just sent him a ’goodnight, I miss you so much’.

When she was about to return her phone into her pocket so she could go back inside the lab, Davi was halted by an upcoming call. She saw that it was her Sei so she immediately accepted the call.

"Hello? Darling?" Davi was obviously delighted.

"Darling... my wife, pack up and come home now." Sei seemed to be in cloud nine as she said those words while Davi slightly creased her brows, curious about the reason why he was suddenly asking her home. Well they both knew what was at stake for this experiment. Sei even agreed for her to go to country A, knowing that they would not see each other for a week, even though he was obviously very unwilling. So why was he suddenly asking her home? Did something happen back home?

Before Davi could ask, Sei spoke first.

"Zaki and Hinari’s wedding is tomorrow." He said and Davi’s eyes widened.

"W-what?! Tomorrow?!"
