Mino 06

-I was a fool-

"It's a company dinner Mino." I tell him over the phone. "I don't want to go alone, you'll come right?" I asked him over the phone. 

I heard him sigh over the phone. "I guess the ladies need something to keep their eyes on." He boasts. 

I laugh. "Sure, whatever." 

He chuckles lightly. "You know I'll go with you til the gates of hell beautiful." He groaned in frustration at the end of the line. "Look I'll call you later I have to deal with some crap, see you Jess." 

He hangs up before I can give him a proper goodbye. 

Setting my phone down I walk over to the closet and pick out a nice dress, Mino recently bought me a nice one. 

After putting on my dress, I did my make up and hair and once I was all done I sat on the couch waiting for Mino to get here. After half n hour of waiting he ended up texting me that he'd meet up with me instead. 

I sighed and texted him the address before calling up a taxi. 

So much for not wanting to go alone. 

- 

The reception was full by the time I arrived and most of my coworkers were looking my way, I guess I had been bragging too much about Mino since we began dating they wanted to know what he looked like but now they were probably thinking I had made him all up. 

I was going to punish him when I got home. 

I browsed through the wine section, deciding on what it was I should pick. I found something I thought I might like and just when I had reached for it someone else did too. Our fingers touched, gasping I looked up. 

Looking into the eyes of someone I thought I'd never see again. "Hyuk?" 

He must have not recognized me at first until his eyes widened and his lips pursed into a tight line, all I could see in his eyes was disbelief. I must have looked so different to him now, but who could blame him for his reaction. 

Those last few months of our marriage I had grown so depressed because of not being able to have his child, I couldn't conceive and he hated me for it. Something I had no control over took control of my life and made a mess of things, especially me. 

"Jessica?" He gave me a grim smile. 

I backed away a few steps, making sure to keep a distance between us. "I heard you were coming, wasn't so sure you'd be looking like that...you look beautiful."

I didn't take his compliment but I did take my glass of wine. "And your whore?" I ask. 

He shook his head in disbelief chuckling. "She was just a fling you know, looking at you now though I regret it." 

I give him a disgusted look and roll my eyes. "And now, what innocent girl do you defile?" His eyes darkened, this time he threw the nasty look back at me. 

"We are not so different you and I..." 

"Don't put me in the same category with a coward like you." I spat. He holds his hand up as a way of making peace but I've been wanting so long to put him in his place and now with the crowd of people looking our way I figured I'd take my shot. 

"You cheated on me and blamed it all on me, for not being able to conceive your child? You called me names, said I was useless for a woman, that I should just die for not giving you a child...well I've never been so blessed in my life for that. I thank god every day that I didn't give you what you wanted. You don't deserve what you have you bastard, a coward who feeds off of poor innocent girls and takes there virginity as payment for fame...that pathetic excuse for a man doesn't deserve a child." 

I could hear the gasps all around me, but what I had just said sparked a rage in him. He was killing me with his eyes and I knew if we would have been all alone he wouldn't have hesitated to raise a hand at me. 

Instead he broke out into a fit of laughter, looking around he started telling everyone that I was just his crazy ex wife who was jealous of his new marriage. I hadn't known he'd remarried but then again I didn't plan on reunions. 

He turned his attention back at me. "Now let me tell everyone about you. You who claim to be innocent of your demons. Tell me do you even know that your being played like a fool?" I feel my resolve sway but I try my best to stay firm. 

"That new boy toy you have, what does he tell you? That he's an entrepreneur? A business man? Hard worker that contributes to society?" He shakes his head. "I thought you said  you hated anything that had to do with kpop? With the music industry?" 

My heart starts ramming in my chest. He was lying, Mino worked at some business company, he had to stay away a lot because the job kept him so busy...there was no way he could be an idol. There was no way he...he wouldn't lie to me about that. He knew how I felt about it...why I hated it so much. 

My head starts to spin, I never really did know what he did exactly. "The boy you keep around is in my rival company. He's just a kid and your fucking him, how much money does he give you huh? Those idols do make a lot don't they?" I placed a hand over my chest trying to ease the pain but I could feel my breath shortening. "Too bad you won't be able to have his kid to keep the money coming."

I could feel everyone's eyes on me, all their disgusted looks suddenly were directed at me. I was the victim here but why did it feel like I was just a fool? The glass of wine slipped from my fingers hitting the ground and shattering to pieces. "Your still so naive Jess." 

Hyuk tried reaching for me but I backed away from his touch and ended up on my knees taking deep breaths. "Stay away from me." I spat. 

But he didn't listen, instead he grabbed my elbow and forced me up. I staggered to my feet my eyes wet with tears that were going to fall. But just as he was about to say something else I was suddenly pulled away, a pair of arms pulled me back and lunged for him all at once. Mino was here and engaged in a fist fight with Hyuk. 

Hyuk didn't really put up much of a fight and instead laid there and took in all the punches, his nose bled and so did his lip and his eyes was swollen up and I just watched, gasping for air. Someone was helping me up, "She needs a doctor." 

I felt the tears fall from my eyes. "Take me away from here." I told the stranger. 

He only nodded and as security stepped in to drag Mino away from Hyuk's body he looked around from me. Shouting my name over and over but I hid like a fool and sobbed into the strangers chest.
