Married

6. Pain

(Leo's POV)

The moment he left I fell on my knees and the tears began to flow as a river from my eyes.

- I love you... Why can't you stay with me... Why is this happening?

I didn't want to know about the affair, I wanted to live in a lie, because he was so good to me, he was taking care of me, he was trying to please me so hard, he hated this life but he was willing to put on this act because he felt responsible of me... and I wanted to believe him, when he held me I wanted to believe I was being loved...

When Hyukkie told me about it, I didn't want to hear about it, I wanted to hide myself and never know the truth... but if other people found out then... it's not just about me, what about my sisters? Is already bad enough that I married a man...

I mean I did make a mistake when I gave into him the day we met... Eyes are always on us, even back then, I was the one who made a mistake when I stayed after saying my sister was not going to the meeting... I made him feel guilty when people talked about me... I accepted his proposal... and now our families' friendship and business alliances could be in danger because I failed to keep him loyal to me... A failed marriage could ruin the Jung's reputation, what would be of my sisters?

I called to the office and said I wanted to stay at home so I would only receive calls from Hyuk.

Hyuk's famiy has worked for my family for ages. Hyuk is my wing man, he's my right hand, someone I can trust... he works for me but is also my friend...

- Hyung, please, open the door.

I had fallen asleep while crying... It was already a new day and it was already late

- I'm coming! – I run to open the door

- Hyung, are you okay? Did that bastard hit you or something? - a worried Hyuk said

- He's not like that, Hyukkie... But... he left and he hasn't come back home yet...

- You are the victim here, yet he's acting full of pride

- Hyukkie, if you are only going to talk bad about my husband then I'll ask you to leave.

- Hyung...

- I know, it's late but I have to wait for him... So, tell mom I'm sorry I couldn't join her today-

- Don't be silly hyung, get dress and we'll be back really soon, I bet the bastard won't get here before we do.

It's the memorial of my brother in law and I always go to my mom's side on a day like this...

- Wonsik was busy today, I'm sorry... - I told mom

- It's okay, it's you who we care about... Your brother is thankful because you are taking good care of his wife and all of us.

As Hyuk said, it didn't take long and I excused myself saying I was feeling sick so I could run back home.

He was not there yet.

- Hyung...

- I know... just make sure none knows what he's doing... as always...
