The Golden Maknae

Lots of Changes

The next two days were the longest two days ever. Considering the nature of every day of the 3 years I'd been married to Bo, that was saying something. I didn't dare power it on. He didn't come in my room much and he had never searched it so I knew I could hide it successfully. But as long as he is home I was to scared to power it on, in case it made a noise.

I tried not to think about it too much, but wasn't successful. My mind was whirling. Luckily our life was so regimented it was pretty easy to go about my days. 

Things hadn't improved and I was pretty sure most of what he said was lies. He had barely talked to me. 

"Be patient, Rose. Let's see what happens Monday. If people really saw the bruise." 

"You said we would go out more often, it doesn't have to be with work people! We could go to Mc Donalds for all I care!"

!SLAP!

"You do not tell me what we can and can't do! I make the decisions!" he yelled at me. 

He had knocked me to the floor with the force of that unexpected slap. I got up, tears in my eyes and ran to my room. I had a lock on my door but I never used it. There was also a lock on the outside and my window was nailed shut and covered so I couldn't get any sunlight. What was the point of locking him out? He literally was my source of food and water. If he chose I could be limited to this one room. 

Better not to test it. 

My nose was bleeding and I considered turning on the phone and contacting Jungkook but I didn't want to cause him trouble. He had been so nice to give me a phone. I wondered what he was doing, where he was. I laid in bed crying and thinking of Jungkook's kindness. In my heart I was getting my hopes up that things would change for me, but my brain was sure nothing would come of it. I fell asleep.

When I awoke and looked at the clock I saw that it was already after 6pm. This was very bad. I was required to have dinner ready at 6 PM sharp. 

I quietly made my way out of my room and down the hall to the kitchen. To my surprise he was in there, cooking. 

Bracing myself I went over to him.  "Bo, I'm sorry, I fell asleep." 

"It's Ok. I shouldn't have slapped you. I am making it up to you by making us dinner. 

"I didn't know you could cook. How talented you are!" I was trying to sound positive. 

He turned around and put his arms around me and pulled me to him. "My love, I was 50 when we married. I had cooked for myself for a very long time. Go sit at the table, it's almost done."

He had made some kind of cold noodles, and it was actually amazing. 

"It's got duck in it. I ran to the store earlier just to make this for you. I also got us some alcohol. I want us to have a nice night."

Did that mean I would have to endure sex with him tonight? Probably. I didn't have to cook and I rarely got to drink, it really was a treat.  He really was trying to make up for earlier. It really did look like things were changing. 

After dinner I excused myself to wash up, I wanted to make sure the phone was really hidden well in case he did want to have sex. 

I got on the dress he had bought me earlier in the week and put just a tiny bit of makeup. I went out to the living room and found a TV in there. 

"OMG! Bo! A TV? I'm so excited!"

"I got us a movie to watch too." the words were normal but his voice had a different tone to it. I wasn't sure what was happening. 

I sat down on the couch to wait for him to get everything set up. He hooked up a DVD player. He put a disk in and then got up and turned down the lights and came and sat next to me. He had the remote in his hands. 

When the video started I went rigid. It was me and Jungkook the night of the party at our table after Jimin distracted Bo. 

"So, this was on our private company website, videos from the party. I can't help but notice that you talking with Jungkook here, why didn't you tell me? Are you trying to make me look like a fool?"

"Bo, no! He just took that photo. It was innocent. Please don't think anything of it!"

"He touched your back right before the video cut away, I saw you flinch. Did he?"

"No, he moved on to someone else after he took the picture. Another girl that was obviously trying to catch his attention."

"I think we will need to wait a bit more before we try to go out again. Let's watch the movie."

I was devastated. I watched with him, but my mind was else ware. 

After the movie he kissed me goodnight and went to bed. I cleaned up the house before returning to the TV. It wasn't able to get channels, figures, I thought. 

I cleaned myself up and went to bed, but not before noticing that it looked like I was going to have a black eye.
