365 Days of You

Chapter 36

"I can't. Anymore."

Mina sobs as she tries to clamp her legs. She has lost count of how many times she has come in Nayeon's hand and tongue.

The older girl's needs are animalistic and carnal, kisses fervent and scorching. And Mina thinks she might burn.

Burn and turn to nothing, to nothing but dust, when the sun rises the next morning. And brings their marriage to an end.

She pulls Nayeon up from between her legs and kisses her senseless, her lips and mouth, hot and hungry on the singer.

She rolls them around as she thrusts a hand between them.

Tonight is different. There is no loving or tenderness that is usually there between them.

This is all about taking. 

Taking everything and as much as she can before she's left with nothing.

They sometimes drift off to sleep, only to wake up needing to touch the other person.

Mina wakes up during the night, gasping for breath, with Nayeon's tongue buried in her center.

Nayeon stirs with Mina's fingers rolling her nipple, hips bucking into the younger girl's hand.

They fuck like they want to make the most of their last night together.

Like they want to forget atleast for the night that their heart will be broken in the morning.

"Hi."

Nayeon's eyes on her are tender.

Mina feels sore and worn out from making love all night.

"Hi."

She replies, her eyes gazing at Nayeon's face for a long moment as if to memorise every part of it.

"The girls will be here soon." Nayeon says.

And then Mina has to go.

She'll be out of her life.

With that realisation, Nayeon bends down and lays a soft kiss on her forehead.

She has waited patiently for quite some time to hear from the blonde she doesn't want to leave.

Maybe she should ask her to stay?

She pulls back, searching the warm brown eyes before hers, trying to find something behind them that'll give her the courage to ask her not to go.

Mina doesn't look away, taking in every moment for a memory. Memories that can destroy her once she walks out of Nayeon's life.

Please, she thinks, Just tell me not to go.

Nayeon moves closer with those dark eyes that looks so deeply into her soul, pensive look melting into a soft smile.

Mina knows the older girl is about to ask her something.

Her heart flutters expectantly.

They both jump apart when a loud noise comes from the living room.

Nayeon gets quickly dressed and asks Mina to lock the door behind her just in case it is an intruder.

Mina protests- she's not going to let Nayeon walk out alone into a potentially dangerous situation- only to be shut up by a kiss that leaves her speechless.

Nayeon puts all her emotions into the kiss trying to tell Mina what her words can't.

It is a kiss that takes Mina's breath away.

It is a kiss that speaks of love, passion and undying devotion and Mina wonders if her lovesick mind is playing tricks on her.

Nayeon rests her forehead against Mina. She smiles as their eyes lock and gives another quick peck on Mina's lips.

Then she goes in search of the source of the noise, throwing one last fond look at the younger girl, grabbing a golf stick on the way.

"Dad?"

She drops the golf stick when she comes across the grouchy man making himself breakfast.

"What are you doing here?"

"Heard you're dumping that charity case of yours darling." He chews loudly with his mouth open. "Came to congratulate you."

Nayeon clenches her jaws.

She balls her fists trying to resist the urge to grab the golfstick and smash his teeth in.

"I knew you're just like me darling. What did you say? Aye, it runs in the family."

He grins at her wickedly.

It doesn't run in the family. He is wrong. She refuses to listen to him. She isn't him. She isn't a monster. Mina has told her that.

"Love doesn't get you anywhere darling. Fame does. Money does. I'm glad you've finally come to your sense. We Im's are a nasty, hurtful and selfish bunch. We don't care about anyone except ourselves."

She opens her mouth to answer but no words come out. He is right after all. Isn't he? How many times has she hurt Mina so cruelly, heartlessly, like she isn't human.

"Your wife may the kindest woman darling but we are the cruelest lot. That doesn't fit."

That strikes a chord. Every hurtful thing she has said to the blonde resonates in her ears.

You're in it for the money. I don't see much difference between you and a prostitute.

Tears fill her eyes as she remembers the hurt she saw in brown eyes.

The hurt she caused.

"We thrive on power, we like to destroy others. That's what destroyed your marriage as well, right darling?"

Right.

How has she not seen that she only knows how to destroy when she's seen firsthand how she destroyed the girl.

She used to look like a low class prostitute, now she looks like a high class escort.

Her cruel voice echoes in her mind as her balled fists trembles slightly.

"Did you really think you are made for relationships darling ?"

He cackles loudly.

Nayeon closes her eyes shut.

This thing with Mina, whatever it is, has to be crushed in the bud. She will never forgive herself if she hurt the younger girl. She needs to protect Mina from her. Because her father is right, she doesn't know how to care or love.

Her own words playing in her head confirms it.

Do you know how much I spend on Romeo? You expect me to wear this shit?

She is self destructive. And she'll only end up taking Mina down with her.

I don't want to know anything about your family or whatever.

She can never give Mina a happy ending. Because she's not the hero, she's the villain.

She hangs her head in shame as she remembers the last cruel thing she told the younger girl.

It's my money and I'll buy what I want. Including you.

She collapses to the floor, dragging her knees to her face, crying for all the things she will never have in her life.

She lets sob wreck her body as she realises that for once she has to the right thing.

And give Mina her life back.
