My Cold Husband

Feelings ~33~

Sunday, 7:30 AM

Namjoon was peacefully asleep on his soft bed, making the best use of an usual holiday. It was the last days of spring. The weather was still comfortable enough. A sudden wind blows in, making the atmosphere chilled. He tries to reach for the blanket.

And a sobbing sound breaks his sleep, ruining his mood in this early cozy morning.

It was Niko who cried taking a name, Quinn.

Why is she crying till now?

Getting up from the bed Namjoon searches for his t-shirt but it was not there. He was only in his shorts. He walks to the staircase like that.

There Niko was, crying on the floor of the hall room. Namjoon's shirt was covering her upper body.

What the heck?!

Taking a few more steps down, Namjoon discovers some broken pieces of watch in her hand. The gift that he broke last night.

I'm s-sorry Quinn...

Like a flash Namjoon remembers that it's the name of Niko's best friend. The one Niko cried the most, hugging before moving out to Seoul. So it was her to send the parcel?

Stupid. That's why I h@te giπls.

While mumbling he pulled a part of his t-shirt as Niko winced in shock. She didn't realize when he was here.

That's mine! Why do you wear my clothes for god's sa-

There were a few scars on her skin. Some were bleeding a little. Her eyes were swollen, lips all red. With a helpless face she tries to get up but falls. There was no energy left inside her.

Namjoon tries to kick off the remorse inside himself. Why the hell Quinn would do such a stupid prank that could get so serious? There's no fault of him.

Managing himself with some lies he goes to freshen up.

Flashback:

Because of the pain Niko's sleep breaks early in the morning.

This hurts..

The tears were dried up on her face. Under the blanket she was fully naked. Her dresses were on the floor. But Namjoon's t-shirt was lying by her. She puts that on. The lose and soft fabric felt so gentle.

Suddenly her phone beeps.

Nikossi! Sorry for the prank. I went to your house to give you the gifts but couldn't find you there. Did you receive my parcel? I've ordered the watches specially for you and Namjoon from France. They are couple watches. Ofc uk if you've checked it. Couples wear those so that their bonding deepens. I was saving money for this for a long time. I'm sending them with all the best wishes for you. You and Namjoon.

Niko doesn't realize when she was in tears again. She runs downstairs to check the gifts which Namjoon destroyed.

End of flashback

The next day Niko was present with a few first aid bandages on her knees, neck and hands. The rest of the parts where she was hurt was already covered. But she couldn't help with the visible areas.

What happened to you Nikoya? Are you alright??

Ji Ah sounded sorry enough. Niko's voice was gone. She somehow manages to whisper-talk.

I- fell down.

Where? And why are you whispering?

A-at our y-ard. I- had a cough.
