Secret Affair

17

You weren't able to tell Ran how you feel right now. The same exact words, you want to reciprocate it.

Don't get him wrong. He did not told you what he said the last night just so he could hear you say you feel the same. It was genuine.

The 3 days 2 nights staycation at the hot spring was well spent. You are beyond grateful to this man beside you how he makes you feel loved and important. For how many years you lost your confidence as a woman and felt neglected.

"Y/n." Ran broke the silence. "I'll be out the country for like 2-3 weeks."

"Oh." You were quite surprised. 3 weeks is long. You'd surely miss him.

"Are you fine being alone? You can stay in my flat if you want to."

"It's okay. Just tell me when you're back." Not gonna lie, there's this feeling of being anxious. What if he doesn't come back to you?

You can't be whiny. A married woman like you has no right to demand things from him.

"So, where should i drop you off?"

Municipal hall

-------------

There's only one reason you had to drop by at the municipal hall. To get a divorce paper form. You're not getting a divorce just because you confirmed how Ran feels. You're getting a divorce because you realizes how unhappy you are. All these time, you were in denial. No matter how hard you try, Mitsuya will never be yours.

Time to choose yourself.

You arrived at your apartment. When you opened the door, there's a pair of woman's high heels.

You suddenly felt your heart beat fast. You left your luggage at the entrance. Slowly, silently, you walked toward the living room. Your legs wobbled and gave up.

You're not just hearing things. They are inside. Inside your shared bedroom.

The faint slapping sound and moaning can be heard from where you slumped. So he wasn't able to wait for a divorce before he bring his woman in this apartment. Well you are as guilty as him. You seek someone's comfort.

To your surprise, no tears had escaped from your eyes. How could you explain this feeling? You know your husband is not 100% into you but you weren't expecting him doing this kind of thing. On top of that, bringing someone over your house. When was the last time the two of you had sex? You can't even remember.

You tried to get a grip of your self and stood up fixing your clothes, wiping the cold sweats on your forehead. You sat properly on the couch and tried to calm your mind. Should you go out and pretend you know nothing? Should you confront them? At this state, you might end up lashing on them. What should you do?

A soft chuckle escaped from your mouth as you suppressed your throbbing temples. You pulled out the divorce paper from your bag, filled it up and signed it. Now, all you need is his sign.

You'll be free...

Mitsuya dropped the glass he was holding when he saw your sitting figure from the counter table of the kitchen.

"Y/n?!" He walked toward you kneeling infront of you to level his height. "W-when did you came back?"

"Been here the whole time you were chanting her name like a goddess." You said coldly.

He ran a palm on his face. "Let's talk about this. I'll explain everythi--"

"Taka what's taking you so lon---" Yuzuha gasped when she saw you and ran back the room.

You stood up from your seat and grabbed your bag. He grabbed your wrist stopping you from leaving.

"Don't worry. I'll be at the coffee shop below. Go to her. Just call me back when she left already. "You yanked his hand out of your wrist and walked away from him leaving your unit.

Mitsuya went to the room seeing Yuzuha already dressed up. She was pale. Sitting on the corner of the bed while biting her nails.

"S-she'd tell the media for sure... she's going to destroy us... she'll bring us down---"

"She won't." Mitsuya cut her off. "She won't do that..."

" HOW SURE ARE YOU?! What if she rat us to the publishing company?! She has influence over media!!!"

Mitsuya held her cheek." She won't. Just leave everything to me. Trust me."

Mitsuya escorted Yuzuha below the apartment complex and called a taxi for her. After she left, he called you on your phone and you immediately answered.

Y/n, she's not
here anymore.
Let's talk about
it calmly can we?

I'll be there in a
minute. And yes,
LET'S TALK and settle
this. CALMLY.

You ended the call and left the coffee shop immediately. Your mind was already cleared. The relaxing scent of the sweets and coffee helped a lot.

You loved him. Surely you did. For your own peace of mind, and for his happiness...You'd let go. You'd set him free. You'd set the two of you free...

Free from the burden of this so called marriage...
