Seventeen Imagines III

#85"Why Won't You Kiss Me?"

Hi. My name is Minghao and I have a weird wife. Ever since we were a couple and until now that we are married, my wife refuses to kiss me. That's the biggest mystery in my life so far.

I still remembered the very first day I tried to kiss her:

"Oh my! Look at this! Isn't this pretty?" (Y/n) exclaimed while looking at the flower in my garden.

We were alone back there. The wind is warm, the sky is cloudy and the vibe was just so perfect for romantic scheme. So I stared at her and whispered sweet words.

"You're prettier," As I said this, she met my gaze. It followed by natural glancing on our lips. Tilting my head, I leaned closer. But as my lips about to touch hers, she shoved my face and shouted.

"No! Don't kiss me!"

Dumbfounded at her remark, I blinked swiftly. Then I asked, "Why?"

She avoided my gaze and stuttered with blushing cheeks, "I'm n-not ready yet."

"But we're dating for almost 5 years."

"I k-know. But still, I'm not ready. Can we do that after our marriage?"

Even if it's ridiculous offer, I agreed to her request.

However, she never fulfilled her promise. Even in our own wedding day and honeymoon, she refused to kiss me!

Was it that hard to connect our lips together?!

We did make out in bed. She's okay with me kissing her neck and the other part of her body except her lips. I always asked her why but she never tell me the real reason.

It's not like I can force her. I love my wife so I wanted to respect every inch of her.

So this time, instead of asking directly, I went to an expert to ask my problem.

"Your wife refused to kiss you, I see." The psychologist nodded his head. He stared at the blank space as if he's trying to figure out the mystery behind my case.

"What do you think is the problem?" I asked. "At first I thought that my breath stink. But no I'm not. Every morning, I tried to smell her breath and it is bearable, so that's also not a problem."

"Then, it could be because of these circumstances."

"What are they?"

"First," he showed me his index. "It could be, she has a trauma before."

Trauma? Did something bad happen to her when she was young?

"Second," the doctor showed me his middle finger.

Wait. Why does it look like he's cursing me? Anyway...

"She maybe has a phobia. You know it right? There are cases when someone refused to kiss because she has a phobia in saliva. It is called Queunliskanphobia."

Queenasdgghhjjkklphobia? Really?

"Or the third reason is..."

"Is?"

"She doesn't love you."

Now that's the worst reason, if it is true.

(Y/n) didn't come from a wealthy family. But it never occur to me that she married me for money. We were and are really in love with each other. So the third possible reason doesn't make sense.

Therefore, to unfold the truth, I decided to ask sincerely about this.

The two of us just finished our shower and now sitting at the edge of the bed with bathrobes on. She looks good on it, yet I calmed my desire.

"(Y/n)."

"Hmmmm."

First, I smiled at her. The doctor told me to make her feel comfortable before asking. Next, I need to assure her about my feelings. "I love you."

My wife smiled and replied, "I love you too."

Now, it's the time.

"And because I love you," I started. "I wanted to understand everything about my wife. Your worries, your insecurities, your fear, everything about you, dear."

Her smiled faded as her eyes were clouded by the lightly shadow. She knew what I am going to ask, that's why.

"So please be honest with me."

"..."

"The reason why you can't kiss me is because of your phobia?"

"..."

"You trauma?"

Or because you don't really love me? I asked inwardly coz I'm afraid she'll get hurt if I bring this out.

(Y/n) avoided my gaze. Next, her shoulder moved up and down. "Will you promise that you won't hate me if I'll tell you why?"

Eyes widened, I gasped, "Of course! I won't! We can solve this together! Because I am your husband!"

She bit her lower lip then stared at my eyes.

Finally! Finally I will know the truth! Even if I'm nervous as hell, I am happy that she'll share it right now.

"Then, I'll tell you. I really believe you should know about this, but was scared you'll leave if you do."

"No. I will accept everything. Now..." I put my hands on her shoulder. Looking straight at her eyes, a sweet beam slipped on my mouth. "...tell me."

"To be honest," she murmured. "I hid this ever since we were dating. Actually, I..."

"You...?"

She opened her mouth. I watched her carefully as she put her hand inside her mouth and suddenly removed her front teeth.

Huh?

Removed her...

What?

How did...

"I am only using false teeth," (Y/n) confessed while holding his fake teeth.

So that's also the reason why she always locked the door of the bathroom while brushing. Another mystery unlocked and yeah... I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT'S REAL.
