Married

5. Anger

- You knew all along and you don't care?! – I yelled at him

- The only reason we got married was because our families-

- Look at me Jung Taekwoon! We-we were happy, I thought we were happy.

- Uh... Look, I know you tried your best to hide your double life but sometimes you failed so I had to cover you up. Hyuk is a good kid, he is someone you can trust, he won't tell anyone, he's been helping me keep it hidden.

- Taekwoon, how can you do this? How can you be so cold about it? What about...

All our happy memories, was it all a lie? Has it always been like this? Were you just pretending all along?

- I love you, Taekwoon. I really-

- You don't need to lie now. It's sweet of you to say it. But right now I'm not in the mood...

- I said I love you! Fuck you, you perfect boy, are you even human?! The normal thing to do if your husband is cheating is to yell and be mad! And hit me! Why are you so calmed?

- Sshh... Don't be so loud.

Loud? What? Is he only worried of what other people might say? Is that the only thing you care about? Appearances?

- You think this makes me happy? Having to deal with a cheating husband... But I'd do anything to protect my family's name. I'm the only one who couldn't get his husband satisfied, why should our families suffer

- I couldn't care less about my family's name and reputation. If I was trying to hide it was only because of you, because I only worry about you... Because I really lo-

- Shut up. Please... I know you are trying to be kind to me... You try so hard to give me the illusion of a perfect marriage. And I feel really sorry that you married me when your heart already belongs to someone else.

- Why are you not listening to me?!

- His name is Jaehwan, but everyone calls him "Ken". Your mother talked to me about him in the past... He's the one you called "babe" the day we met, right?

- Yes. He may be a street rat but at least he's sincere. He gives his affection easily and he's kind of a slut but he's better than you, you only pretend to be perfect but you are so empty.

I was mad and I was saying hurtful things. I wanted to see him snap and yell at me. Why is he acting like this?

- I need to get out of here. – I said as I felt I couldn't breath

- Do as you want. But remember you are still my husband. I'll be waiting for you as I always do.

I shut the door behind me as I left to meet my lover.

Perfect life, my ass.

I'm tired of playing the good guy.
