My answer was no. Which as I lay here in bed alone in the early hours of the morning, I'm starting to feel I regret. Why couldn't I let him kiss me? My husband doesn't seem to be having a hard time saying yes so why should I?

But as he leaned over me, all I could think of was Jin and how sad he would be to find out that I had let Jungkook kiss me. Which is completely and utterly fucked up. He's cheating on me. He is literally having an affair for the world to see and yet I feel guilty for wanting affection from someone else also.

Jin has been calling non stop, but I still can't pluck up the courage to answer him. I am curious about what he would say though. Would he grovel? Beg for forgiveness and promise that it will never happen again. Or would he deny? Tell me that the rumours are false and that he's innocent.

To be honest, I would be more hurt if he denied it. Because that would mean that he thinks I'm stupid, whoops he got caught, but he doesn't care and he has nothing to apologise for. I would feel better if he owned up to it. Especially because I know the truth.

My alarm sounding pulls me from my thoughts, making me realise I must have only had one hour sleep maximum. The hair and makeup people are going to love trying to make me look human today. But they have to. I have to look as normal as possible for this press conference. Any sign of emotion and the reporters will pounce on me with no remorse.

After a brisk cold shower, I walk out of the bathroom just in time as the glam squad knocks on the door. Each of them giving me a sympathetic smile as they walk inside, hinting that they must have seen the headlines about my marriage.

Sitting silently as they all work their magic, I'm grateful to Joe, my manager, who comes in with a small plate of pastries for me. Not saying a word he just sets the plate in front of me. With a tight lipped smile, he turns to take a seat on the edge of the bed. Joe knows me, and he knows that if I wanted to talk about it, I'd be talking about it.

Seeing as it's only a press conference, and we will just be sitting at a long table on stage whilst the press fires questions at us, I opt to just wear jeans and a nice top with a long cardigan to cover my arms. This is why I don't mind conferences so much, they are much more casual than any other event for a movie.

"I've asked the reporters to only ask questions about the movie and the role." Joe says looking up from his phone. "But as you know, the press are assholes so even though they have agreed, I highly doubt that you will avoid talking about the scandal."

"Scandal." I scoff as I stand from my seat. "Is that what this is?"

"What did Jin say when you spoke to him?" He asks me, pulling the door open motioning for me to go first.

"I haven't spoken to him yet." I shrug as I walk past.

"What?!" Y/N! You are going into the lions den without any protection? What if they say something that you haven't even read about? You need to be prepared to defend your marriage."

"Do I?" I say as I stop and fold me arms over my chest. "Because I'm not the one that fucked it up!"

Stepping towards the elevators, I hit the button a little harder than needed but I don't care. I need to take my anger out on something and Joe should just be glad it's not him.

"But you don't even know the truth right now Y/N." He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"You do realise that the husband of Jin's apparent lover is on our staff also right?" I frown at him as we step inside the elevator, the hair and makeup girls following close behind, keeping quiet as Joe and I go at it.
