EPISODE 17

"i'm sorry, y/n. i didn't mean to... everything just happened so fast..." mysta mumbled in almost a whisper, his hold on another woman's hand tightening.

"it's just... i don't know. i'm really sorry. you were too perfect. it scared me. maybe you really don't deserve me, y/n."

y/n slowly opened her eyelids, her tears trickling down her temples.

she slowly sat down, rubbing her eyes.

nightmares. again. y/n thought and glanced at the empty side of the bed. as expected, there was no one there.

y/n just stared at her fiddling fingers. she can't bring herself to sleep again.

mysta's on a business trip with vox for three days and two nights.

y/n was relieved to have vox accompany her husband, but tonight was already the third night she slept without mysta when he was supposed to be home this afternoon.

she hasn't heard any news from vox. when she asked ike, he said he doesn't know what was happening either.

well, the weather was bad earlier. maybe their flight was delayed.

but mysta would immediately tell her if it was.

"oh god. i'm overthinking. this isn't you, y/n." y/n mumbled to herself and ran her palms through her cheeks.

y/n suddenly thought about the dream she just had earlier. it was mysta, coming home from her business trip. only to come home with another luggage.

another woman.

he was holding her hand so tight. it was too painful to even look at.

y/n could still feel the sting on her chest. although it was just a figment of her stressed mind, everything just seemed so real. how he talked and explained, how he stared at that woman with love, like how he stared at y/n.

"what's wrong with me..?" y/n mumbled as tears kept coming out. she endlessly wiped her tears away.

but the tears won't just stop.

ah... it was the first time the two of them were away from each other. y/n sure did have some missions out of town, but she always made sure to never sleep the night without mysta.

the first two nights were already torture to her. she thought he'd be home by the third night.

where even is he?

y/n just buried her face in her knees and bawled her eyes out. maybe she was feeling a little emotional for being away from her beloved husband for so long.

"maybe i should've taken the job luca gave to me earlier." y/n whispered on her way to the bathroom. "i should've kept myself occupied instead of acting like a baby..."

y/n glanced at herself in the mirror.

"ugly," she mumbled in disgust before turning the faucet on.

her eyes were red and swollen. people could really tell at one glance that she actually cried.

she was usually good at hiding her emotions.

but when mysta came into her life, her perfect path of living was like... shaken by an earthquake, creating a new path for her to take.

with him.

y/n was about to rinse her face when the doorbell rang.

she turned it off and stood there for a minute.
