Seventeen Imagines III

#35 "Too Late For Everything(?)" part six

  I thought I wasn't in the picture of my husband's messy love triangle. But I was completely wrong.

"Give it back." I snatched my phone from his hand.

Joshua is wearing his wedding ring but I pretended that I didn't see it. Why should I when he quickly hid his hand behind his back? That shows how Joshua hates the idea of getting caught which might embarrass him forever.

As if nothing happened, I turned my back against him and the door. "I'll prepare for my work."

Although I looked calm outside, my mind was frenzy with surprising stuffs I witnessed today. Who would have thought that the girl my husband loves, Bea, is Junhui's stepsister?

The love cycle right now is Joshua to Bea, Bea to Junhui, Junhui to me and I to no one. 'Since when did I enter their love rivalry?'

'No no no. Marrying Joshua was a mistake from the first place.'

"Don't tell me..." Joshua's words that paused my steps. I tilted my head in wonder about the next thing he'll say. "...that you are still planning of going back to that night bar?"

Wearing his wedding ring and then prohibiting me to meet Junhui, I might think he's being possessive because of jealousy. Thank goodness I knew that he likes Bea so I won't be bother by those useless guess.

"Are you..." I opened my lips then pointed the paper bag that was on the floor. "...going to eat that?"

I was talking about the sandwich Bea made for him but was wasted because she dropped it on the ground after getting pulled by Junhui.

"I'm asking you first," Joshua responded in unusual cold tone.

Smiling sarcastically, I remained quiet. It was due of knowing that no matter what I'll say, he'll make me the bad guy in this conversation which is true because I really am; (Y/n), the selfish wife.

"Do you like him?" he asked out of nowhere. Joshua was gritting his teeth and furrowing his brows. He looked at me in a way that he'll get hurt me if I say 'Yes, I do.'

It might be because of his damn pride. He maybe can't accept that he lost her girl to Junhui and now, his wife has something to do with the same guy. Joshua was pissed.

"Uh, I like him," I lied.

Instead of saying that I did it for revenge, I'll see this as a part of my consideration. Joshua will divorce me for Bea so with this lie, he won't feel guilty that much.

Joshua stared at me. His lips tremble a bit, I'm sure he wanted to say something but nothing came out. He gulped, making his Adam's apple moved down then up.

"Five months are too long. I have a lawyer friend so she'll help us with the paper works."

"Do you want for us to separate as soon as possible?"

"Hmmm. So you can be with Bea as soon as possible too."

"And you can be with Junhui?"

No. After our divorce, I wanted to stay away from them. This chaotic relationship, I'm really sick of it. However...

"Yes," I lied again.

My husband didn't say a thing. His eyes were fixed on mine but he looks blank.

'Yes, dear. Let me do this. Let me hurt your pride so we can separate without lingering memories. Hate me and forget me.'
