Are You Cheating?

Chapter 9

"Take out the trash,"I ordered Yoongi seeing that he was slowly melting away on the sofa. It was currently raining and I was washing the dishes. The cool weather soothed me and seemed to slow down my speed at washing the dishes. And Yoongi seemed to be suffering from the same effects.

"No,"he rejected flatly before taking the remote controller and changing rhe channel.

"Uh excuse you. I cook your meals and now I'm washing the dishes. The least you could do is bring out the trash,"I nagged,turning on the tap to wash away the soap on the utensils.

"Fine,"he rolled his eyes grumpily and pulled himself up in a sloppy way,"but it's raining,"he complained again and plopled himself into the sofa.

"Wear a poncho,"I took off my rubber gloves and walked to the cabinet,taking out a poncho and throwing it at him.

"But it's dark at night. What if someone wants to rape me,huh?"he said casually. I gave him the 'are you serious' face.

"No one wants to rape you. You're so annoying geez. I'll just take it out myself then. Pft,"I scoffed,narrowing my eyes at him.

"I'll go with you. What if that crazy guy comes and tries disfiguring you again? Then,I won't even be able to face you,"he insulted.

"Haha,"I laughed with sarcasm,my voice filled with malice.

----------------------------------------

"Aish. This place is so smelly,"Yoongi scrunched his nose in disgust and flailed his arms around to get rid of the stench from the estate's rubbish collection site.

I rolled my eyes,"Aren't you exaggerating a little too much? We're already out of that place,"

"But I can still smell it!"he whined,folding his arms like a little angry baby.

"Because you're smelling yourself,"I retorted,smirking in victory.

"Whatever. Wait a minute....do you hear that?"he asked. I raised a brow in confusion,"what?"

"Can't you hear it? It's a cat!"he exclaimed. I closed my eyes and concentrated,temporarily blocking out other thoughts and noises like the rustling if leaves or the howling of winds.

"Meow,"I heard a faint and weak meow from a cat. Yoongi started walking off on his own and I trailed behind as the sound was getting louder and louder. When all was silent again,we arrived at the corner of the carpark.

"Meow,"I heard the pitiful yelp from a box and I approached it and bent down. It was a white cat with shiny brown eyes. It's paws were a cute shade of pink. It's fur was slightly grey as it was dirty. It looked at me with his eyes crying out pity and pain. I melted at the sight of it and reached out for it,gently stroking its head. It was tense at first but it relaxed and looked like it was enjoying it.

"What are we gonna do about this fella here?"Yoongi asked,making pouty faces adults do to amuse children. I laughed at his weird faces,earning a flick on the forehead.

"Yah!"I screamed,rubbing my forehead,"Let's bring it home,"I suggested,gently lifting it into my arms.

"Woah wait a minute. As a pet? I don't know if I can live with that,"he said.

"What? But he seems to like you too,"I said and as if on cue,the cat reached out for Yoongi with his small paw. What a smart cat.

"Fine,"Yoongi finally agreed,trying to act all nonchalant about that small gesture although through his softened gaze on it,I'm sure he was fawning over it.

"Let's give it a name,"I said as we strolled back to the apartment,the cat comfortably resting in my arms.

"How bout' T-Rex,"Yoongi suggested and I looked at him doubtfully,"It's a cat not a dinosaur,"

"Ugh fine how bout naked. So you could tell others you're walking Naked,eh eh?"he wriggled his eyebrows mischevously. I chuckled at his foolish gestures.

"That's just stupid. Hmmm....Scarlett! It's elegant and sweet! I like names that start with 'S',"I exclaimed excitedly only to be rejected.

"Uh whatever. The cat is mine anyway,"I said,"You're Genevieve,"I whispered to the cat with a smile.

"Ahem no. If I hadn't brought you there you wouldn't have found it. I'm the Dad and you're the Mum. Let's call him Suga,"

I laughed hysterically,"What do you think we are a married couple?"

There was an awkward silence after that careless remark of mine. I coughed uneasily,"Sorry...uh yeah Suga sounds nicer and cooler too,"

"Then Suga it is!"he shouted,gaining a few weird stares from passersby.

I kept quiet until we reached home and I gave the cat a bath.

I tool a towel and dried Suga's now pearly white fur. I sighed deeply. You see.... It was the happiest moment of my life when he went down on his knees and proposed to me. However,things were more complicated.

*Flashback*

He kneeled down on the soft carpet of the private room in the restaurant we had booked for our anniversary.

"Y...Yoongi...what are you doing?"I gasped at his sudden actions. He pulled out a ring from his pocket and held my hand gently.

"I know we've only dated for one year but I'm already sure you're the one. I feel the happiest and most relaxed around you and I hope we can do that for the rest of our lives?"he paused for a moment and looked at me with eyes that glimmered with hope and anticipation,"will you marry me?"

I gulped at his question and kept silent for a while. Should I? I can't possibly...especially when I know what he's doing behind my back...why is he even doing this?

I coughed awkwardly. "I'm sorry,Yoongi...not now,"I rejected shortly,my heart feeling as if it was pierced when I said those words.

His whole face darkened and he sighed but then forced on a smile,"It's okay. I get it. We've only been dating for a while. You're not really sure of it,"

I nodded my head,"Thanks for understanding,"I lied. That's not the reason why I rejected you,Yoongi...

*Flashback end*

Thinking back about it,I shouldn't have felt guilty. He was hiding things from me ever since then...how could I possibly trust him with the rest of my life? With all the doubts and confusion I had,it was the right choice to reject him anyway.

I picked the cat up and opened the door before laying it down onto a small bed Yoongi made once we came back home. He used an old basket I got from the market before cushioning it with pillows and a warm fuzzy blanket. And he acted like he didn't care,pft.
