Ex Husband's Obsession(21+) [Kth ff]

CHAPTER~35

Yn stared at him dully. She had seen him like this before when they were still married. When he was losing control over his carnal desires, he would gaze at her and touch her in this way. Feeling mocked, she reached her hands out to caress his eyebrows. He seemed to like being this close to her and even allowed her to touch his face as much as she wanted. Taehyung doesn't like physical touch, but yn was an exception.

After a moment of silence, he heard her speak in a deep voice with a curious expression, "I'm very curious. Does Guinevere not satisfy you?" The atmosphere between them instantly shattered when she brought up that woman's name. The little warmth they had earlier was now filled with coldness and unspeakable embarrassment.

Perhaps taehyung didn't take this seriously, but yn couldn't accept her identity at all. What was she? Merely a mistress of his...As much as she didn't want to, she lived under Guinevere's shadow. She hated every bit of it.

The man's fingertips pressed against her mouth, and his expression slowly calmed down. "Do you know that you just ruined the mood, baby?" She gasped, "Really?" Her lips were pulled into a tight line. He let yn go. With both having little appetite to eat, the table was still full of dishes.

Joan wanted to clear the table, but taehyung shot her a glance, instructing, "Leave it there." Her eyebrows frowned very slightly, "Sir..." she stammered, a little hesitating. He rubbed his forehead in frustration and repeated himself. "I said, leave it there." She stood up straight, "Yes, sir."

Joan didn't understand how they were fine one minute but argued the next.

Yn didn't know how long she stayed in the toilet. Not wanting to face him, she took a really long bath. Emerged in warm water and lavender and rose fragrance, it somehow calmed her nerves, and she went in deep thoughts.

Though she had been in an enclosed space for a long time, something was different today. Taehyung didn't want to bother her for long time and she relaxed more.

But considering the time she was taking, he finally lost patience, walked to the door, and knocked. "Yn, are you trying to suffocate yourself?" No sound came out. His eyebrows scrunched as if realizing something had happened. "Yn, answer me!" It was still quiet inside. Instantly, his face darkened, and he kicked the door open.

A loud bang ensued as the door fell open. He strode inside. The stuffy bathroom was marred by steam and vapor, and inside the bathtub laid yn with her eyes shut. She was so quiet she looked like she was not even breathing.

His eyes widened, and an indescribable wave of fear coursed through his body. "yn!" he yelled. Without a second thought, he pulled her drowning bare body out of the water and pinched her philtrum, patting her cheeks."Are you insane?" he scolded even though she was unconscious.

From the looks of it, he believed she must've deliberately done that to herself, that she's trying to steal herself away from him and leave him behind in cold. Quickly, he took her out of the bathtub, laid her on the ground, and put pressure on her chest with his palms, attempting to resuscitate her. After a while, she sputtered unceremoniously and spat out water as she choked and gagged "Cough!" he instructed.
