A Killer's Obsession

Chapter 30

Jun Pov:

"Ack! Babe! Please calm down!" I pleaded, dodging several more pillows that were thrown my way.

"I hate you! This is all your fault!" Aera screamed.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay. Take a deep bre-"

"I'm tired of feeling fat all the fucking time! I only gain weight there and no wear else! It freaking sucks!"

I gulped and grabbed a box of peanut butter stuffed pretzel bites before shakily tossing it over to my sobbing wife.

"Hey, have you eaten yet? Here, try a bite."

"I don't want to eat!" Aera bawled.

I sighed. What was I supposed to do?

Later that night:

"Love? Is something wrong?" I muttered watching with sleepy eyes as Aera suddenly burst from the bed and ran towards the bathroom.

Moments later I heard a loud Blurghhh noise. I grimaced but followed my wife into the bathroom before gathering her hair in one hand and gently rubbing her back in a soothing manner.

"I hate this. . ." Aera moaned.

"I know babe. But it'll be worth it. It'll be worth it."

A few months later:

"So um is that yummy or something?" Kyujin asked, nodding at what Aera was currently eating.

"Pickles and ice cream? Yeah. It's pretty normal." I shrugged.

I watched as Aera frowned and set her spoon down onto the table.

"What's wrong dear?" I questioned.

"I'm not craving this anymore." The young woman replied.

"Oh really? Is there something else I can get you?"

"Mashed potatoes and mayonnaise."

"Alrighty then. I think we have a pack of instant mashed potatoes in the pantry-"

"Actually. I think I want tuna fish and chocolate milk."

"Okay that won't be too hard-"

"No wait. Boiled eggs and horseradish."

"Horseradish?" Kyujin squeaked.

"You know what. Just give me a whole lemon." Aera finished.

"Girl. Make up your fucking mind!" Kyujin groaned.

WIth that Aera burst into tears. Kyujin immediately grew quiet, an expression of guilt washing over her face.

"Shit. I'm sorry." She muttered.

I frowned but went over to console my crying wife.

"I don't understand my body anymore!" Aera wailed.

"Shh." I hushed.

"I can't stand this!" She continued.

I simply nodded and held her until she finally stopped crying.

"Are you tired dear? Shall we head to bed?" I offered.

"Yeah. I think that would be for the best." Aera mumbled.

9 Months Later:

"Aera, are you sure I should go to work today?" I asked, while getting on my jacket.

Aera rolled her eyes.

"Yes! I'll be fine! Besides, the kiddos at the studio love you! You don't want to let down your dear students do you?"
