After making sure all the kids left, I pick up my bag. Looking back at junhui

TH: Thanks Jun Really. I don't know what would I have done if you wouldn't be here.

Jun: I am always here to help you, Tae. Why won't I be.

Nodding I was going to walk past him, when he clenches my wrists. Making me stop. And I look back at him surprised. He retreats his hand immediately, rubbing his neck in awkwardness.

Jun: Um sorry I...I just wanted to say it's late. Let me drop you.

Th: It's fine Jun. I drove here. Remember.

Jun: Oh yah. Just be careful.Message me when you reach okay?

Th: I will be

And I nod. I told you he is so thoughtful. Waving his a goodbye, I get on my car seat.

To only look at the time. It's been 5 hours already! I really got late. But still, I don't know why. I didn't wish to go back home. Not to him. It felt suffocating. Just looking at him does something inside me. The live I have for him is still there, you don't know how difficult it is to show that I didn't care. To not stop him from cooking, asking him to sit. While I cook for him. To show him that his gaze doesn't bothers when it rages havoc inside me. To sleep alone, wishing he held me like that day. In his warm embrace.

To see those dark circles under his eyes and stop myself from asking what's troubling him. To have him near me, to inhale his fragrance yet not touch him. It's a torture. But it's a requirement. One's worth has to be earned. And that's what I am doing. I am earning my worth by my silence. I try to be happy in my life.

With the kids and the staff there. Going to an orphanage, I have been visiting regularly. With Junhui With bogum visiting me sometimes and us chilling. Going on shopping spree with jen with han complaining. Visiting Mrs Jeon Feeling like home with her. Jisung we have grown distant. He doesn't reply to my texts anymore. I guess he hates me now. And why wouldn't he?

He was right that day. I am a fool. A stupid boy really who made the biggest mistake in his life by marrying him. But what to do? One has to live with one's choices and decisions.

I open the main door with the spare key kept under the doormat. Locking it, I remove my shoes. Rubbing my forehead. Damn! Don't tell me another headache is on the flare. I hate them. It was dark inside as usual. And I already knew, he must be asleep in his room. His strict workaholic routine still remains and he never compromises on it with sleep as late as 10 pm at max Sighing.

I was going to climb up the stairs and walk towards my room. When I hear a voice behind me, that
made my footsteps to seize. My heart thumping in my chest.

Jk: Where are you coming from so late, Mr Jeon Taehyung?

And I gulp, turning around to look at him. Sitting there on the sofa, with one leg placed on the other. And aura domineering and deadly. Was him. My husband. His business suit still on, his tie loosely hanging in his neck. A bottle of whiskey in front of him and a half filled glass placed on his lips.

As he stares at me, with cold emotionless eyes. Void of any human emotion Red and deadly. And I suddenly felt my feet turn cold and my mind glowing blank.

Th: None of your concern, Mr Jeon

His intense gaze doesn't waver from me. To only have that scowl on his face to be replaced by a smirk of disbelief. As he takes in my word. My feet were turning ice and hands sweaty. But I don't show it. Nodding. Turning around to leave.

My heart was thumping against my ribcage, feeling those burning eyes on my back. I had taken just one step up the stair when his emotionless voice made me stop.
