Lie [ JEONGMO | MICHAENG ]

Momo POV

The sound of the doorbell woke me up, I groggily opened my eyes and realize I was laying on Jeongyeon's lap. She got up slowly and went to greet whoever was at the door. I was still taking my time to fully wake myself up by rubbing my eyes. I looked at the clock, it was almost midnight. 'I must have fallen asleep watching the movie', I deciphered, 'I wonder who's at the door at this time'. I peeked towards the front door and doubled back just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. 'Why is Jeongyeon HUGGING another girl in front of ME?!'. To say I was a bit annoyed is an understatement, I was fuming. It was 12 am and some girl showed up, 'groping' my woman. Well, it looked innocent enough, but, THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I got up and stood in the doorway, I crossed my arms and patted my feet on her floor. I waited for an explanation from Jeongyeon. I watched her hug the girl while caressing her hair ... I think she's crying?

Finally, what felt like forever, they moved away but that didn't stop Jeongyeon being the sweet person she is, cupping this girl's face and whipping her tears. Jeongyeon turned around and I smiled at her direction, hoping she'll notice me. She started walking to the living room, holding this girls hand, ignoring me! They sat too close to my liking.

"Momo, this is Mina, my sister-in-law", Jeongyeon said to me, I was pouting in her direction. "Mina, this is Momo, my girlfriend". She introduced us, but she wouldn't stop touching Mina. Mina, despite her bloodshot eyes and wet cheeks, smiled at me. I faked a smile back, I wasn't feeling too friendly because I was about to kill Jeongyeon for ignoring me. I sat down in a chair in front of them. I didn't feel comfortable leaving Jeongyeon with her. I guess this is jealousy?

"What's wrong?", Jeongyeon asked concerned as she held onto Mina's hand.

"Chaeyoung ... I was with him ... he was ... so cold towards me", Mina explained in between sobs. I'm surprised she can say anything with how much she's crying.

"Why? What did he do?".

"I asked him about us ... what our relationship is or will be ...", Mina looked devastated, "Jeongyeon, please don't be mad ... he keeps blaming me for what happened ... I .... I want to get a divorce ...", Mina elaborated and cried, even more, burying her face in her hands.

Jeongyeon sighed, she looked tired, "Minjun's death tore him apart ...".

"IT BREAKS ME TOO!", Mina yelled tears flowing down her face. 'Wow ...', I was a little taken back by her voice, I could felt the anger in her.

"I TRIED TO BE STRONG FOR HIM! ... then my mom died ... and he didn't even call ...", Mina's voice broke. "I told him, I wanted a divorce. He wasn't even wearing his wedding ring anymore Jeongyeon-ah".

Jeongyeon frowned, her eyebrows furrowed and she didn't stop caressing Mina's back.

"What did he say to you?".

"He started yelling at me, started accusing me, asking if I have a boyfriend in Japan".

Jeongyeon went wide-eyed, so did I.

"Has he lost his mind?", I said to her. It made them both to look at my direction.

"... sorry", I mumbled. I guess I crossed a line, but what kind of moron would say that to his wife, even after what had happened. But I guess, it's not really my place to comment. So I decided to zip my lips.

"He told me off, then say he doesn't want a divorce ... I felt lost and angry, I had to get away. The first place I thought was here".

"I apologies Mina ... but I have to ask ... did the police ever caught the guy who murdered ... Minjun?", Jeongyeon's voice sounded reluctant when she said Minjun's name.
