Forgive me, My Mrs. Choi (S.coups X Reader)

5.6: A

I stared at Y/N as she laughed at something Jieun said as we ate dinner. We've been here for a week now. Should I tell her?

"Oh. Before I forget, I'll have to go back to Seoul again  tomorrow because Seungmin has been asking me why I've been here for so long." Jieun said.
"Ah. I see. Take care." Y/N told her.
"When will you come back?" Jicheol asked her.
"Maybe after two days. You want to come with me?"
"Ani. I want to stay with my sister."

We all looked at her shocked. Sister? Is she bullying Jeongcheol again? Tsk tsk. This girl, jinjja, calling Jeongcheol her sister. I ruffled her hair.

"Yah, Jicheol-ah. Jeongcheol is a boy." I told her.
"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about the one in eomma's tummy. Appa said women with big tummies have babies inside their tummies. Eomma has a big tummy now."

We were speechless. Y/N sure has baby bump now, but I didn't know Jicheol would notice that. I underestimated this kid. Jeongcheol seems like he's not shocked at what her sister said. We continued eating in silence.

After eating, the twins went to their bedroom. I find it amazing how those two-year-old twins can sleep on their own without anyone else but each other. I decided to bring a glass of milk to Y/N before I go to sleep too but I saw Jicheol enter the room where Y/N and Jieun sleep in. I decided to stay by the door and listen.

"Eomma,"
"Oh. Jicheol-ah, why are you here? You should be sleeping by now."
"Can we stay here a little longer? I want to spend my birthday here." She asked her mom. It shocked me. Why would she...
"What?!"
"Jeongcheol told me about what appa did to you before when he was drunk. I want you to be happy on our birthday. You seem happy here without appa so let's stay here."
"Cheol-ah,"
"Also, Mingyu oppa promised to teach me how to make a snowman on my birthday."
It took a while for Y/N to answer. "Are you sure about this?"
"Ne. Jeongcheol and I talked about it. Please, eomma!~"
"Ok."

I saw Y/N smile. It was a fake smile. I feel the sadness in her voice. It breaks my heart. She's sad knowing her daughter thinks this way. Jicheol contentedly left the room without noticing me. I went inside.

"Oppa, you...you were there?"
"Ne. Here. Have some milk before sleeping." I said giving her the glass.
"Did you..."
"Yes, I heard it."

She didn't reply. She simply stared at the moon shining down the sea. She let out a sigh before looking at me again. I have to tell her.

"Y/N-ah, before I...before I went back here this morning, I talked to hyung."
"Mwo?"
"I asked him what he wants to tell you if he can contact you. I recorded everything he said."

I took my phone from my pocket and looked for the recording. I played it and watched Y/N as she listened to it. His voice was a little unclear, but we can still understand what he's saying. The recording started with him singing a song by Urban Zakapa, 'My Love', because he was singing it when I entered the practice room. Y/N smiled hearing his voice singing that song. He was alone there so I took the chance. The recording goes...

"Hyung," I called him
"Oh! Mingyu-ya," He said.
"How are you?"
"Hmm? I don't know. With me still being linked to that blind item, our comeback being delayed and Y/N and my kids missing, I don't know. I feel numb right now."
"If, if you get a chance to talk to her right now, what would you tell her?" I hesitantly asked. I didn't know what he would say.
"What would I tell her? Well, I would tell her I'm sorry. I know it's so cliché and frustrating, but I think I really need to apologize, for every mistake I did. And, that I miss her. So much. I would be pleading for her to come back. I would tell her I'm looking for a way out of this controversy already. I would ask her to wait a little longer because I'll make sure I can prove to her it's just a rumor."
"How would you do that?" I remember he stood up when I asked him that.
"I'm going to meet up with someone later. Come with me."
"U-uhhh. I can't. I need to go back to Busan."
"Busan? Wae?"
"It's my cousin's birthday today so.."
"Oh. I see. Take care."
"Ne. I'll be going now. Take care. Good luck, hyung."
"Ne. Bye."

The recording ended because I stopped recording as soon as I got out of the room. Y/N is just staring at my phone. She smiled again. This time, it's genuine.

"I'll sleep now, oppa. Good night." She said lying down on the bed.
"Ah. Ne. Good night." I said walking to the door.
"And...please tell him I miss him too. So much."
"Ne. Sleep well."

I looked at her before leaving. Her eyes are already closed, but she's smiling. I'm glad I found a way to make her happy. I bumped into Jieun on my way to my room. I greeted her before continuing walking, but she called me.

"No one suspects you coming here?" She asked me.
"No one. My family thinks I'm here to relax. That's what the company thinks too."
"And Seventeen?"
"I told Seungcheol I'm heading here after attending my cousin's birthday party in Busan." I told her.
"Ok. I just want to make sure Y/N doesn't get disturbed here. She needs rest. Good night."

I watched her as she went to their room before going to the balcony. No one suspects, but Wonwoo knows. He read Youngsoo's message on my phone. He confronted me. We had a fight. I remember everything he said.

"Do you think you're really helping here?! You told me before this is bad, that we should just let them be! Now you're doing it yourself!" He shouted at me.
"I'm doing what's best so stop interfering."
"STOP INTERFERING?! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO WHAT?! I'M JUST TRYING TO PREVENT YOU FROM BEING THE MONSTER I WAS!" He shouted kicking the trashbin.
"I won't be that monster. When you hid Y/N from her husband, it was for yourself, for your happiness. I'm hiding her now because I want her to be happy. We're different."

He sighed and let himself drop on the floor while leaning against the wall. It was silent for a while. I just stared at the floor until he stood up again. I see his tears despite the darkness of the room. He stared at me blankly.

"Fine. Do what you want, but promise me something."
"What is it?"

He wiped his tears away and walked towards me. He looks exhausted. Maybe because of our hectic schedule and endless activities. I knew this would happen. This is actually one of the reasons why I did this. If I keep going somewhere, our comeback will be delayed. He will have time to rest. The other members too. It's hitting two birds with one stone.

"Don't let your heart break."
"I can't promise that. Can you just keep it for me?"
"Do you trust me?"
"I have let you keep my heart for so long. This isn't so new now."

He helped me get back to Korea the day after the last  fanmeeting of our latest tour. He promised not to tell anyone. He made excuses. He lied to our manager and the other members for me. That's how much he loves me. And, I love him just as much as he does.

I don't know how this chapter ended like this. Like it's a different love story. LOL

I would like to apologize again for the confusion with the previous release. My friend is stupid like that. Don't worry. I deleted my unnecessary drafts after the incident. It won't happen again. Thank you for understanding.

Don't mind the title of the chapters! I made a mess on those so it kind of make no sense at all. Sorry.
