"SO.. JUNGKOOK told me that your ex-husband went to your apartment. Is it true?" Ryujin raises an eyebrow amusingly, bringing her lips to the rim of her cup. That brat.

"News flash, he's still my husband since someone lied to me that she had taken care of my divorce," I retort with sarcasm. "Why did you lie?"

Ryujin's mouth parts to oppress, eyes filled with guilt as she sighs heavily. "Okay, wait.. about that, I'm sorry. I just didn't want you to be frustrated over this since you're already upset enough,"

"That doesn't cut it, Ryujin. I'm still married to him for almost four years and wasn't aware of it. Do you know how defamatory this is? You're a prosecutor, you should know better," I shake my head in disappointment.

"What was I supposed to do? The divorce couldn't be finalised but now that you meet him again.. that's got to mean something, right?" she settles down her cup and cross her arms over her chest.

"No, it meant nothing,"

She curls her lips back in distaste, narrowing her eyes slightly. "We both know that's not true,"

"Ryujin, don't start,"

"I'm sorry, but I don't see why can't you work this out. What matters is you love each other and I could see that he still loves you from the way he looks at you,"

My heart instantly clenches. "Leave it. We're not destined to be together,"

"What if he actually didn't cheat on you?" she ignores my sentence. "I mean.. after all these years, think about it. It's stupid,"

I turn to glare at her as adrenaline rushes in. "He has a family, Ryujin. Besides, I'm not going back to him after what he did,"

"There's gotta be an explanation as to why things turned out the way there are. Just talk to him,"

"Do you not remember how much I suffered? I cried and starved myself for days until I found out I was pregnan—" I pause midway as tears sting in my eyes, recalling back the days of sorrow. "I just couldn't —"

Ryujin's eyes swimming with remorse and immediately, she brings my body into a comforting hug. I let my guard down and accept her embrace as the tears soon run down my cheeks with agony pains in my chest.
