1. "Is it because you would have felt like you were cheating on her??"
2. She asks, her big blue eyes locked onto mine.
3. I reach for her hand...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. Pulling it into my lap, unable to resist the physical warmth it provides.
2. "No. It's because I would have felt like I was cheating on you."
3. "You deserved more and I knew it."
4. Her bottom lip trembles...
5. And the urge to suck it into my mouth flares up inside me.
1. Pulling her hand away, jiyeon rises to her feet.
2. "You can't say things like that."
3. There's anger in her eyes and I'm left speechless.
1. I can't even begin to imagine all the thoughts and emotions running through her head.
2. She moves to the window and looks out solemnly.
3. Rising to my feet...
4. I stand behind her, resisting the urge to pull her close.
1. "I can't lose you."
2. "Not when I feel like my life is finally falling into place."
3. "You were the missing piece. You were the cheese to my macaroni."
4. I smile lightly, hoping she remembers.
1. She turns to face me.
2. Her soft gaze is pinned on mine and I can tell we're both remembering the time we spent together.
3. It just felt right.
4. "I can't do this, unnie. I was developing real feelings for you."
5. Was? I know I'm falling for her, terrifying as it fucking is.
6. I'm trying to convince myself that my interest in her is only about seeing the arrangement through.
7. "You're married."
8. She reminds me.
1. "Only legally."
2. "And if I can just get her to agree to the terms..."
