Secret Affair

6

Guilt slowly dies whenever you sin for countless times.

Ran dropped you off on a nearby convenience store. You walked your way home. It was 7 in the morning. There's no Takashi Mitsuya in the house.

You tried to call his phone and he immediately answered.

Sorry. I just got home.

Where have you
been? I was worried.
You usually send me
message when you go out.

I went drinking
with Hasegawa-san
and other fellow writers.
I'm sorry.

It's okay. Just
send me a message
next time. I'm going
back to our meeting.
I love you y/n. I'll make
it up to you after this
project.

Don't worry about
me. Just focus on
your work.

You hanged up the call and slumped straight to the couch in living room.

Mitsuya headed back at the meeting. Yuzuha was eyeing him why he suddenly left the seat after seeing his phone.

"Taka-chan." Yuzuha called the attention of Mitsuya after the meeting.

"Yes?" Mitsuya responded while tidying his thing on the table. Everyone left already. Suddenly Yuzuha hugged him from behind."What are you doing?" He followed and tried to remove her arms.

"The call, was it your wife?" She asked in muffled voice as her was face buried on his back.

"C'mon, we've talked about this already over and over again. I'm married already Yuzuha... let's not make it difficult for the both of us..."

"But you said you'd file a divorce..."

Mitsuya felt a pang in his heart. His feelings wavering for some reason. He still likes Yuzuha for sure but he can't let go of you.

A series of exaggerated cough had startled the two. It was Luna, Mitsuya's other sister who's working as his assistant.

"Forgot my laptop." She said as she entered the meeting room.

"Taka chan, I'm going home. Bye Luna." Yuzuha said and dashed out.

The moment Yuzuha was out of their sight, Luna hit his brother on his arm. "What are you doing?"

Mitsuya just silently ran a palm on his face. He's stressed with his big project, with Yuzuha, with you. Plopping down on the swivel chair, he leaned his head on the table.

Luna just heaved a sigh watching his brother. She knows how confused and struggling he is and yet, she can't find the right words to say.

Meanwhile, you received a call from your editor. You were summoned at the publishing company to meet with the production staff for the drama adaptation of your movie.

It was so sudden but you were able to dress up properly. During this kind of meetings, you usually wear something like a semi casual attire. An off white sweater paired with a black trousers.

This is no time to think about your personal problems. As Mitsuya's chasing for his big breakthrough, you need to keep up with yours.

The meeting was about the timeline of events such as the press conference, audition for the roles and the shooting itself. This would be a busy month ahead. Not for you tho, because the only time they need your appearance is for the presscon and audition. While this goes on, you still have another novel on work. Hasegawa is a good editor. Your work usually progress well unless you screw up.

"You fuckin look gorgeous right now   
y/n."

The voice was familiar and you were not that surprised.

"Ran, what if someone sees us? I told you to wait me at the parking lot." You heaved a heavy sigh.

"Can't wait to pick you up. Let's go. I made a reservation for dinner." Ran took your hand and kissed it.

You want to smack his head right now but somehow, the feeling of someone longing for you made your heart skip beat.

Why can't Mitsuya give you this kind of happiness. Is he even trying or you are just ungrateful?
