Married to a Monster

Twenty-Two - Finale

Balancing on a ladder and trying to get a canvas straight on the wall, wasn't an easy task. Especially, when you looked over and saw a completely shocking photo being hung by your partner.

Your eyes grew wide and you wobbled on the ladder for a minute before catching yourself. "Baekhyun," you hissed. "Why are you hanging a picture of Jongdae's dick on the wall?"

Baekhyun turned slowly, narrowing his eyes at you. "How do you know it's Jongdae's?"

You put your hands up in defense, "It's not like what it seems."

"It has no distinguishing features other than his actual dick, so how do you know it's his?" He crossed his arms over his chest. "I refuse to let you marry Jongin if you're blowing Jongdae behind his back."

Pointing at him and climbing off the ladder, you scoff. "You'd be more likely to be blowing Jongdae than me," you said as Baekhyun scrunched his face up in disgust. "And for the record the first time I saw it, it was an accident, okay? Jongdae has a habit of stripping in his sleep and when I stayed the night at his house for the first time when we were younger, Minnie and I were both victimized."

"The first time?"

You shrugged, taking the picture off the wall and thrusting it at Baekhyun's chest. "I said it was a habit, didn't I? I grew to be desensitized to it but it's been a while so you nearly gave me a heart attack."

Baekhyun clutched the picture tightly, "Can't we hang it up though? Jongdae has been sending nudes back and forth with someone and he won't tell me who." You raised a brow. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not being a weirdo and going through his messages. He's the one that accidentally sent me the picture and now I want to use it to find out who he is sending pictures to."

"Baekhyun, this is the opening night of our gallery and my parents are coming."

"What?" He asked while winking. "It's not like your mom hasn't seen a dick before."

You closed your eyes and let out a deep breath. "You're making me regret opening this business together."

Holding the picture to his chest still, he gave you a coy smile. "Okay, okay. I'll just hang it up in the house."

After giving him a nod and a playful smack, you went back to getting the gallery ready for opening. It had been six months since you graduated from college and you and Baekhyun had been such great partners before, that the two of you decided to open a gallery together. Baekhyun was going to do the photography side and not only sell the work he did on the side, but also take professional pictures of people too. You were doing the same but with paintings. The last painting you did of Hani, the one you did for school, and the one you did of Minseok were on display to showcase what you could do with your work and even though people asked about them when they saw your portfolio, they were not for sale. You wouldn't remake them either because they were too special.

The two of you were getting ready for tonight which was when you were having an opening party with your friends and family for the gallery. It wasn't necessary but it was Jongin's idea and Baekhyun loves any chance to talk about himself.

The night rolled around and you and Baekhyun stood side by side, admiring the gallery from where you stood by the doors. You tried to hold back the tears that started to form in your eyes as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders.

You were in a white satin dress that made you feel much fancier than you had wanted but Baekhyun insisted and he wore white satin dress pants and a black dress shirt. "Don't cry," he whispered as you looked at the walls that were filled with paintings you had created over the past few years and the photographs that Baekhyun had taken.
