You came downstairs to put the groceries in the fridge. You noticed that Jiwon was not in the hall. Ignoring it, you went to the kitchen. There she was. Drinking water from the glass.
'why is she in my kitchen?', you internally thought.
"Where is Jongin?", she asked you once she noticed you entering the kitchen.
"He's with Min", you replied without glancing at her.
"Why? Did he forgot that we have a date today?", she said loudly as if asking herself.
You ignored her and continued your work. You looked at the clock. 4:10 pm, it said.
You still had some time to make dinner.
"Are you ignoring me?", Jiwon asked you.
"Why can't you keep your son to yourself. Jongin can't always be with him", she said.
As soon as she said those words, she got a really tight slap on her cheek. The impact causing her to loose her balance as he almost fell down if she hadn't gripped the water tap.
"Next time, think twice before you open your trash mouth to say anything towards my son", you said calmly.
"Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I can't do anything to protect my son", turning around, you continued your work. She stood there holding her cheek with her left hand.
"How dare you hit me!!", she yelled at you but you didn't bulge. You know she wouldn't do anything other than just yelling at you.
"You bitch! I won't forget this. You'll pay for this", she said as she left the kitchen.
"Yeah. Good luck to you", you mocked her. She went to the living room when jongin went downstairs. You heard her crying and telling jongin about what happened. You heard it all clearly how she tried to make you the villain here.
You heard it when jongin said he'll talk to you about it.
"Y/n?", you heard him calling behind you. You didn't respond. He still continued.
"Why did you hit Jiwon?", he asked you.
"Didn't she told you why I hit her?", you asked him back.
"That's not the answer y/n. There is nothing wrong if she wants to spend time with me. Why do you always misunderstand her? She just said that Min can not be present with me and her all the time. She said it because she's also a busy person. She's not a housewife like you", your hands stopped at his last sentence. He also realised what he had just said as he silenced himself. You fully turned towards him and said, "what do you mean a housewife like me? Then why did you marry a woman who was going to be a housewife for you?".
"I didn't mean it that way y/n", he said to you.
"Whatever you meant jongin. You know that I can't tolerate that woman in this house, then why would you bring her here all fo a sudden? If you're so much in love with her then why do you keep coming here? Just stay with you lover. I can take care of my son on my own. I don't need anyone's sympathy just because I'm a housewife", you glared at him as you said the last words.
You know he was also angry.
"Min is not just your son. He's also my son. I have the right to meet him and stay with him. Why do you always get angry when I try to talk to you calmly??", his voice raises with every sentence."You know exactly why I talk to you angrily. I don't have to explain to anyone like I'm the villain here and everyone around is innocent", you replied back. You felt your breathing going fast. But you didn't care right now.
"You asked for a divorce and I refused to sigh the papers. Is this why you're like this?", he reminded you one of the many painful memories from the last months. He paused for a second as if thinking, "Wait. Are you seeing someone else?", he said.
"Or were you seeing someone before all this happened? Do you even take care of Minjun? Tell me y/n. Were you really cheating on me when we were together?", he asked you as if he was sure if all this happenings.Before you could say anything, you tears started to fall without stopping as you fell down the floor.
"Y-You really think I was cheating on you? When it was you who was doing it. I have never ever thought of any other man other than you. How can you say that", you said as you cried there.It was him who went to another woman leaving his wife and son. It was him who decided to leave the house, leave the family. Yet he's accusing you for cheating. You can't believe how far this small argument has gotten. You became to blame yourself for all this. You felt like in between all this mess, you are responsible for your small family's falling apart.
Jongin's eyes soften when he looked at your state. He was about to say something when he got interrupted by Jiwon as she entered the kitchen.
"Jongin, please don't fight with y/n for this small thing. Look, she's crying now", saying this, she bent down to wife your tears.
But before she could touch your face, you jerked her hand off of you.
"Don't you dare touch me!! Both of you can leave this place now", you spat at her. You saw how she smirked at you when you wiped your tears. Jongin just stood there like a statue. You stood up to leave the kitchen but you lost your balance again when you try to walk. For a moment, you felt your head spinning around. You held the table to compose yourself.
"Y/n, you're misunderstanding me. I love jongin more than anything. I can't-", Jiwon said as she gripped jongin's arm as if to prove her love to you. You just shook your head and said, "do whatever you want. I don't care. If you guys excuse me, I have a child to look after for. I don't have anyone else to love anyways", saying this, you went to your bedroom and locked the door.You were afraid that Minjun might wake up from all the shouting going downstairs. But thankfully, he was still sleeping. You heard, the main door of the house closing, indicating their leave. You slide down against the door. You held your head in between your knees and let the tears fall from your eyes.
"I hate you Kim Jongin. I really hate you now", you sobbed as you said those words.
