SUDDEN MARRIAGE

Thirty

"Donghyuck..." Mark tugs the hem of my shorts, pulling me back to bed and me, ending up on his lap. "Are you still not gonna talk to me?"

"Let me go..." I huff. "I'm hungry."

"I'm gonna cook for you." He replies on my neck, still soothing me and holding onto me.

"Who are you kidding? You don't know how to cook." I utter shyly.

"I'm sorry."

I slowly get out of his tight grip and walk out of the room. I just finished taking a shower, of course after sneaking out of Mark's hug earlier this morning.

I want to finish the conversation with him but I can't currently do that. First of all, I'm embarrassed by what I said last night. I was so eager to leave but I just realised now that the action was unnecessary. Second, I'm hungry. Third, I haven't had my coffee yet.

As I was stirring the coffee that I just made, I felt Mark's presence behind me again. For how many times have he hugged me from behind already? God, I can't even count.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispers as he tightens his wrap around me. "Love, I'm sorry..."

When I stayed silent, Mark turned me and lifted me off of my feet which made me gasp in shock loudly. The coffee almost dropped on him if it lasted longer, gladly it didn't.

"Shit..." I pant for air.

"You're still not gonna talk to me?" He looks at me with his wide expressive eyes, carrying his message that he's genuine. "I'm serious, love. Talk to me."

I can't help but fiddle on my fingers as I try to process and collect words for me to say it to him without us fighting. My eyes bawled out on itself. It may be too much and overreacting for some people and who knows, maybe for Mark too, but I just can't help it.

"I'm sorry for shouting at you last night. I got so mad because of your accusations. I didn't think of what you would feel..." He says right into my face while brushing my hair backwards. "Also love, I don't like Jungwoo, if you think I do. You're the only one I love, Lee Donghyuck. I'm sorry for making you think that I can cheat on you."

How can he stay calm? How can he fucking say those words sweetly? Why is he such an understanding person? Why is he such a perfect husband?

He could've lashed out at me by now but he didn't and I'm pretty sure he'll tell me he can't. God, I'm so lucky for this. So lucky because I have him.

"I was hoping you'd seek me those days when I stayed at Jeno's. I thought about leaving you for some time because I wanted to see if you would run after me. It was such a dumb action and I'm sorry..." He kisses my shoulders, then. Shivers went straight to my body because of his action. "I shouldn't have done that..."

I unknowingly clench my fingers on his shirt as I bury my face into his neck. This is such an intimate and bold act and I just felt the urge to do it out of nowhere. I love being in his arms, argument after argument.

"For being unreasonably jealous of Lucas. I'm sorry about it, too. I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating on me. I deeply apologise..." He says. "Please... tell me if I'm forgiven already because I can't stand this anymore, love..."

"I can't too..." I sob while I hug him tight, making his shirt lift itself up. I shut my eyes and tense on his arms. "Love..."

"Oh, god..." His arms went straight to my back, embracing me in return. I feel somehow happy with this action and I don't want this to end. "God... I-I'm sorry, Donghyuck..."

"No..." I shake my head lightly. "It's all my fault. I am at fault—"

"Shh..." He whispers. "Stop it, hmm? None of these—"
