Bitter Sweet

Chapter 7

Erin's POV

'Guys, can you accompany me to go dinner with P'Arm, please?' I begged them so that they don't ditch me. Bright said 'I thought it was Tay because I saw his car just now'. 'Maybe he fetched Jess' I replied with a shrugged. But deep inside I feel hurts because my own husband just fetched his lover. I still hoping we can protect this marriage but I guess it's not gonna happened.

P'Arm arrived and us smiled at him. I introduced Angel and Bright to him. 'So, where do you want to go for dinner?' he asked all of us. I like when he is trying to make conversation with my friends. 'There's a korean bbq restaurant near our dorm. It's really good and cheap too' Angel gave the suggestion to him and looked at us 'Ok. Then we'll go there, so lead the way'.

We had fun with P'Arm, Bright and Angel just become his friend. They were sharing all the hilarious moment. It's been a long time I didn't had fun like this. All the problems in our mind seems forgotten by us. We lost track of time and decided to go home because we'll have class to monitor tomorrow.

Me and P'Arm waved at Angel and Bright as they go back to their dorm which is nearby. P'Arm decided to send me home.

'Thank you P'Arm for the dinner. I hope you had fun with my friends'

'No problem. Hope to see again' - Arm

I nodded and get out from his car while waving at him.

Tay's POV

Where's Erin go. It's almost 1030pm. What if there's something happen to her. Damn, my parents would mad at me. Then I heard the sound from the main door. I looked at her furious 'where were you? don't you know what time is it?' She seems shocked with my anger and said 'I had dinner with P'Arm'. 'So P'Arm is your husband already?' I scoffed at her. 'What's your problem? you yourself told me to minding our own business'. 'But as long as you live here Erin, you need to follow my rules, no coming home late at night' I tried to explained to her without showing that I truly worried for her.

'you're not my husband in the eye of the public. Technically, I can come home late just like single people do' I was hurt by listening to her. It's true I am not her husband in public, but it doesn't mean I can't make rules to keep her safe. She continued 'why do i have to follow your rules when you didn't do the same for me' She looked hurt when saying this and I don't know what to respond.

She immediately went to her room. Why am I like this? I should ignore and not care about her. Is it because I'm envy her with Arm where they can go out public and had fun. I try to remind myself, I love Jess, this marriage will be over soon.

The next morning

3rd POV

Erin woke up and did her morning routine which is making breakfast for Tay. She made the usual coffee and toast. Tay's just woke up and went straight to the kitchen. He doesn't have work for today. He stares at Erin who is busy making breakfast for both of them, Erin with her hair tied up and wore oversize t-shirt. Erin just want to make breakfast first then she'll get ready for the class. Little did she know, Tay woke up early and now just standing near the kitchen.

She surprised by Tay near the kitchen but she just passed by him and went to her room. Tay seems hurt that Erin didn't greet him. She still hurt by what happened last night, first argument as married couple. After Erin done, she went to the kitchen and put her toast in her mouth then go to the faculty without looking at Tay. Tay just sighed and felt guilty.

Faculty.

Erin POV

'Ok ready to meet the students?' Angel asked Bright and me. I nodded and show the sign fighting! Once we entered the class, everyone become quiet. 'Hi everyone, we'll be your tutor for your dissertation. As you know, Prof Eya isn't available so we're in charge for today' I explained to the students. I saw Win excited to see Bright in his class then I looked around until I saw Jess. She smirked at me. How dare she smirked? But whatever, Tay's hers not mine. I don't want to compete.

Then we went around the class and asked whether they had problem in starting dissertation. 'Ms Erin. I have question' I looked around who's asking for me then apparently it's Jess. I walked with confident to her. 'Ok what was the question?' 'These question is personal but since you're smarter, I would like to have your opinion, if the husband doesn't love his wife, he should divorce her right in order to prevent her wife getting hurt?' I knew she talking about my relationship with Tay. 'I supposed to but that's their decision' I replied her. 'But don't you think the wife also should file divorce if she knew her husband doesn't love her, why would she wait for the husband to file divorce?' She smirked at me. I knew she wanted me to file divorce first. Alright. I play your game Jess. 'Maybe they're in love but they're in denial' now it's my turn to smirked at her. I excused myself and asked another students. I can see she's angry with my statement.

Win's POV

Why every girl want to ask question at my boyfie. I don't have a chance to asked anything. Damn you Bright, why you have to be handsome. Now look, everyone want to hit you. I pouted and suddenly Bright standing behind me, blew at my ear. 'Yahh!' I was about to hit that person and stop when It's Bright. I smiled at him and he asked whether i have question. Of course I have question. I stare at him while he's explaining to me what should I do for my dissertation.

He smiled at me and whisper 'babe, stop staring'. I feel embarrassed and blushing at his whisper. 'See you tonight love' he continued and I just hold my cheeks as he chuckled. What did you do Bright? I never feel so shy before.

Erin's POV

Few hours later

'Ok class dismissed. Hopefully you'll be motivated to do your dissertation soon. Good bye, Anyeong' said Angel. Me and Bright chuckled at her when she said Anyeong. Does she knows that we're in Thailand not South Korea. ' I saw you talked to Jess, what happened' Angel try to get some tea from me. Bright just shake his head but at the same time curious what is happening back there. 'She asked personal question about me and Tay, but she didn't mentioned our name' I sighed. 'She must furious and envy that you actually a legal wife of Tay Tawan not her' replied Angel. 'Only on paper Angel not in public'.

When we reach the faculty lobby, we said good bye to each other. I usually went home by taxi because it's quite far. Once i enter our condo, I surprised with foods on the table. What occasion is happening tonight? I walked to the table and look at the food. My stomach suddenly grumbling just looked at the foods. I didn't realised Tay standing behind me and said 'This is my apology to you for last night'. I turned and faced him, we're standing close 'you don't have to do this Tay'. 'Why? I hurt my wife last night' he smiled. Wife? Did I just listened correctly and respond 'only wife in this house Tay'.

He back off 'Yea. not in public. Let's eat before it's getting cold'. I nodded and started to eat with him silently. 'Tay, I need to tell you something'. Tay looked up and raised his eyebrows. 'We need..'
