Behind their masks

I like sweet things

Jimin's point of view:

As the car slowed down in front of the red light I turned to Aerin. Since we left my parents house she's been dead quiet, she hasn't looked away from the window either. It made sense, I felt just as shocked and confused as her.

I had to say something to her, anything. I have to apologise for everything, but my mind was blank. I couldn't think of anything to say. I jumped at the sound of horns beeping behind me, I didn't realise when the light turned green. I shook my head and drove ahead, focusing back on the road.

I don't know what came over me. All I remember is seeing her in front of me and it just happened. I wasn't thinking at all. I didn't think about how it would affect us and now here I am, hating every second of it.

I hate what I did. I knew what this meant. I love Aerin. Deep down I've been afraid of that. To fall in love with her again. But I don't even know when it started. I love her but it's definitely not okay.

I can't do this. Not now, not to her. She's got her heart set on what she wants and I'm definitely not part of that plan. I'm not about to just pop up and ruin it all for her. She deserves to live her life, especially after how rough things were for her at home, not to mention that I wasn't exactly helping by making her miserable at work.

Not only Aerin, but I can't do this to Jaehyo either. He was the only one who's been by my side for the longest time, and before Aerin and I started to get along again, he was the only friend I had at the time. He trusted me with his feelings towards Aerin, and I definitely couldn't do anything since I've denied liking her over a million times to him already.

This is all wrong. I shouldn't love Aerin like that. I can't hurt her or Jaehyo because of how I feel. I knew it was wrong but I couldn't help but like it. I liked how it felt. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get myself to ignore it and it was eating me up alive.

We arrived home and Aerin got out as soon as the car stopped in front of the house. She walked back the house, leaving the door slightly open behind her as she disappeared inside. I sighed softly as I watched her. It's not even been a full month since we got married. If the next 11 months are gonna be like this I don't know if I'll survive.

I parked the car and walked into the house. I saw her in the kitchen, grabbing a yakult from the fridge. She looked up at me before quickly turning away. She got another one out and slid it across the counter before picking up her's up and walking away past me into the living room.

I went over to the kitchen counter and picked up the yakult. At least I knew she wasn't mad at me, that was a start.

"Hey guys!" A voice popped from behind me, making me almost choke on the drink.

I swerved my head around, staring wide eyed at the man rummaging though our fridge. He poked his out from behind the fridge door and smiled at me, "Oh, yakult. I want some too." He popped, taking out a bottle for himself.

"What are you doing here?" I popped, pushing the fridge door close that he left slightly open.

"I'm having yakult." Jaehyo shrugged, twisting the lid off and peeling the film off the top.

"When did you get here?" I shot.

"Like half an hour ago." He hummed, sipping the drink.

"We weren't even home, how did you get in?" I popped.

"I let myself in." He said simply, shaking his head at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows.  "How? Why?" I hummed.

"I came to drop off the stuff my mom and dad sent you guys." He hummed, finishing up the last of his yakult in one big gulp.

"At this time?" I popped. He seemed like what he did was normal? Does he even realise that's breaking and entering?
