2. Pinning jiyeon to the wall of the elevator...
3. ...my hands clench into fists above her head.
4. "......"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. It's taking every ounce of self-control I have not to push my hips into hers and claim her mouth.
2. I know I've lost the right, but my body refuses to understand that.
3. "Get close"
4. I can see her pulse thrumming in her neck as I bend down near her ear.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Don't push me right now. My emotions are all over the fucking place...."
2. "Something very new for me, I can assure you."
3. "Oh, your emotions are all over the place? Try putting yourself in my shoes."
4. Her voice rises frantically.
5. "I was buck-naked in your goddamn pool trying to seduce you when your wife showed up."
6. The word wife is spat from her mouth like a sour bomb.
1. "You ran out on me before I had the chance to explain."
2. "You wouldn't answer my calls and now..."
3. "I've flown six thousand miles just to set the record straight with you."
4. Arguing with her won't get me anywhere. Of course she has a right to be mad.
5. I take a deep breath and straighten my posture.
6. "Listen, jiyeon. I needed to see you. I'm coming upstairs to talk to you."
7. After an intense standoff her gaze falls to the floor as she realizes further negotiation will be pointless.
1. "What floor am I on?"
2. "Same floor."
3. Realizing we're just standing in the stationary elevator that hasn't yet moved from the ground level...
4. ...she gingerly reaches out and presses the button.
5. "Uh?"
1. My mouth lifts up in a smile. Progress.
2. Even though it's only been three days since I've seen her, held her in my arms...
3. ....slept with her warm body next to me, it feels like much longer.
4. The privilege to touch her has been ripped away, and my body riots in silent agony...
5. My heart aching and my fists clenching uselessly at my sides. I fucking hate this.
6. We need to talk like civilized adults, but fuck if I know how to start.
1. "Jiyeon..."
2. I begin.
3. "Kir.."
4. She says at the same time.
5. We share an awkward smile.
1. "Come sit down."
2. I gesture to the sofa neutral territory...
3. And she obeys.
1. "Ask me anything you want to know."
2. "...."
3. "No more secrets."
4. "I promise."
5. "How long have you been married?"
