I'm Not that Cruel Part 25

"When did Leticia come back into your life?"

"I hadn't seen her in years. I met her a few weeks ago," Shownu responded. He was candid as he could be. If Kihyun wanted to know every little detail about his relationship with her, he would tell him everything.

"Why did she come back?"

"Her marriage is falling apart. She thought we could get back together."

It had been years since he had last seen her. So many things have changed. He had changed in so many ways. Not only had he been left hurt to toughen up by not caring about the people around him, he had also been forced to grow up for the sake of his father. None of this was Leticia's fault. Everything had been his father's fault but there had been a rage inside Shownu when he saw Leticia show up at his work while Kihyun was at home.

Now that Shownu was seating facing Kihyun, he could see the tiredness of his face. His face had dropped when Shownu mentioned Leticia and the times they had met. Shownu concealed the times he met with Leticia because he didn't want his past to be in his present anymore.

Leticia will always be a part of his old life and permitting her to be in his life once again was like letting his old persona back. When she left he had no soul. There was nothing that was holding him back. If people hated him he didn't mind. He hated himself too.

It was until he saw Kihyun as a person. That was so fucked up to say. It was not that he didn't see him as human, it was that he didn't care about feelings. If he didn't care about himself, if he lived or die, why would he care about anyone else. Everyone just wanted something out of him until he met Kihyun who didn't want nothing him but his true self.

"Keeping her a secret only it made it worse," Kihyun said with seriousness. He didn't look straight at Shownu. "I really though you were going to leave me."

"Not possible." Shownu shook his head. He wanted to bang his head on this table. He had been so stupid to think what he was doing was right.

"Your secrets didn't make it any better."

"I thought you would flee from me if you found out about my past. I was monster. To you and everyone else," Shownu said in defeat. He was letting go of his fears. Of the vulnerable side that he detested with all his heart.

"We all have a past. You're not the only monster here," Kihyun said. His voice dropped.

Shownu creased his eyebrows. "But you're not. You're the best thing that happened to me." He wanted to chuckle. Never in a million years would he ever think of Kihyun as a monster. He was anything but that.

"And you don't think you are for me as well."

"I have trouble believing that."

There was a slight pause. Before Shownu could say anything else, Kihyun took his phone out and for a few seconds he went through his phone.  It wasn't long before Kihyun stopped scrolling and turned his phone over so that Shownu could see what was in the screen.

It was of him sleeping on the floor with wood material all around him. The day he was constructing the cribs for their triplets. "You were so exhausted after finishing the cribs. You never complained and even before you could properly take a good nap, you made dinner for me."

"I don't understand-"

"That took hours. You were there for hours," Kihyun said with a pleading voice as if he wanted to make Shownu understand something he was not understanding. "No one has ever done anything like that for me. Or wanting for me to be comfortable and do nothing. Even when you were mean you still were caring."
