I'm scooping food on to my plate when I spot a figure at the corner of my eye. My heart knocking against my chest leads me to the realization that it's Yeonjun .

"Why are you following me?" I ask.

"I'm not following you. I'm trying to talk to you."

"What, no Yuna around to pick up my slack? Did she get tired of your antics and kick you to the curb too?"

"Ancient history. Besides, you know we were never together."

"She was important enough to keep you and I from being together."

"I was young and dumb."

My phone ringing in my pocket startled me. I sigh in relief.

"Looks like it's my girlfriend."

"I thought you were married?"

...

Pressing the answer key, I turn towards my bedroom making sure to lock the door behind me.

"Save me." I plead humorously.

"That bad?"

"No, I'm just being a baby and I miss you."

"I miss you."

Someone scored a touchdown causing everyone in the living room to shout praises that rang throughout the entire house.

"Are you at a party?"

"My Dad invites family and friends over every Sunday to eat barbecue and watch sports. From the cheering I'm guessing this Sunday is football."

"I wish I were with you."

"You really don't want to be here. 
My dad asked about Sunghoon and
I ran. My ex boyfriend is also here. Not really an ex because he cheated before anything happened. His uncle and my dad are friends which is why he's here."

Silence.

"Please don't be upset."

"I'm not."

"Say it like you mean."

"I'm not upset. I trust you."

"Good because nothing will ever happen between him and I."

Then there it was again a few good seconds of silence before she spoke.

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"No! There's nothing about you that would bring anyone shame. Why would you ask me that baby? We've talked about this."

"I know. I just can't convince myself you aren't ashamed of your sex fiend side piece."

"I crazy love you, baby. I ripped apart everything I knew because
I believe in us. Where I come from there's no divorce. You marry once and that's it. I need to make my dad understand how much you mean to me and I have to do that one on one. That's it. Okay?"

"Yeah. It's just that when I'm not with you, fucking into you, my demons have their way with my insecurities and right now they're telling me that I'm not good enough. That you crave the simplicity you had with Sunghoon. That I'm a phase you're going to get over."
