Married

7. Leave Me

(Ravi's POV)

I got home and Taekwoon ran to meet me

- Do you really think we can continue living this lie?

- Wonsik, I can...

I noticed his hands were shaking, he was only pretending he didn't care... I was hurting him...

- Why are you doing this to yourself? – I hugged him and I kissed his forehead – Why did you keep it to yourself? You should have stopped me...

- I'm so sorry... - he had tears in his eyes

- Was it all a lie?

- No. I did fall in love with you, these smiles of mine were because I was thankful... I wanted to believe in your words when you said "I love you"... I don't want to lose you... I can be better, I can make you happy. You can keep your lover if you want to and I- 

- Why are you saying this? – I pushed him apart

- You need him. I can't keep you in this cage, I get it, but

- You "get it"? Taekwoon... look at what I've done to you. Your pride is lost, you... you should leave me, I am your ruin... We should... get a divorce...

- NEVER.

- You don't even believe in my love, why do you want to keep me by your side?

- I know I failed you but you were the one who proposed this marriage to save our families' reputation, you have to be responsible, I will not have a failed marriage in my family history! Father is sick and brother in law already died, I'm the only man in my family, I need a clean reputation not for me but for them!

- You are just doing your homework... what a good kid... Well, then, stay married. I'm tired of this shit. I don't even have to hide it from you right? So now we will just accept the fact that there are three people in this marriage? Let's see how much longer can you deal with it.

I left. I can't handle this.

I'll make you leave me.

- Kenny? – I talked to the phone – Let's meet. I need you, badly.

Jung Taekwoon, I will make your life a living hell, you better leave me soon.
