The other women
Will never have his love to keep

Minho
I walk through the door to be greeted with the smell of food. My eyebrows pull together as I walk more into the house and to the kitchen.

Her back was towards me, still not knowing I was home as she hovered over the stove. Her long blonde hair was in a messy ponytail as she hummed something.

"June" I announce and she looked over her shoulder, a smile finding her lips.

"I tried to finish before you got home" She turned to me and frowned. I walk closer to her and she automatically slivers her arms around my waist. Looking up at me with her big brown eyes.

"I wasn't aware you were cooking tonight" I spoke. June never cooked, well hardly. I was busy and so was she.

"I wanted to do something nice for us" I felt her hands run up and down my back.

"What's the occasion?"

She bites at her bottom lip "There is none, just want a nice dinner" But there is a catch to it, I knew there was because with June there always was. Her eyes bored into mine until she sighs softly, pulling away slightly and start messing with the buttons on my shirt. "I wanted to try again tonight" I swallowed harshly, and there it was.

"June—"

"Minho please, you know this is all I've dreamed for" Her eyes fill with tears "You know I want a family with you"

I did and she knew I didn't want kids. I pull her hands away and her frown deepens "I'm gonna take a shower"

"Let's talk about this!" She yells as I was about to walk out of the kitchen.

I turn to her "About what June? I told you over and over again for years that I don't want kids!"

"But you agreed!" Tears now fall from her eyes.

I did, but that was last year and that was before she had a miscarriage. This isn't me saying I don't want kids with her because of that but because it seemed selfish to try again when she knew the risks of it all. I told her I didn't want kids and finally, I gave in and it didn't work out.

I stood there and she wipe her tears, "Why are you still pushing this?"

"For us," She said softly "I want this for us because I see you slipping from me"

I roll my eyes and run my finger through my hair, "Stop this June"

"I do" I heard her voice break "I love you Minho"

Did I feel guilty? Yes, I hated that she was right. I was slipping away and my mind couldn't help but go to Jisung. My student.

I didn't blame him though, I was slipping away before that.

"I can't be here for dinner," I said, avoiding her eyes "I just remembered I had something to do" I left the kitchen and out the door. She didn't call for me and let me leave but it didn't feel that way. It felt like she tried to constantly trap me into something I didn't want.

My mind is only on one person and it shouldn't be. The kiss just felt too real and it made me feel things I shouldn't feel.

I had only seen him in class but I become guilty about the situation so I never tried to make a move since and he didn't either. My mind wondered if he regretted it and was thankful I didn't try anything again. I wanted to. God, did I want to ask him to stay after class or show up at his work and touch his body.

I wanted that so badly and it wasn't right. I was confused about why he made me feel this way with a simple kiss and seductive words. I was confused why I wanted him.
