"Hey is there something wrong?" Hoya asked Irene when she noticed her biting her lower lips for the nth time, she do that every time she's nervous or uncomfortable "Something is bothering you?"

Irene nods "Well yes there is"

"What is it? You can tell it to me you know I'm always here to listen"

"it's about Soojung" Irene said wirh a sigh

"What's with her?" Hoya asked putting down his fork to give his attention to the girl in front of him

Irene looked at Hoya straight in the eyes "What happened on your boys night out? Don't think wrong of me I'm just curious but is Myungsoo cheating on Soojung?"

"What?" Hoya said almost a shout startling Irene and other customers, he immediately bowed as a sign of apology then turned to her "What are you talking about? You know Myungsoo will never do that"

"That's why I'm asking I'm just making sure because Soojung is kind of doubting him. She confessed to me earlier"

"Why?"

"Soojung said that it looks like Myungsoo is hiding something from her do you know anything Hoya? I mean you're his friend maybe you know something" Irene said hoping that Hoya will answer yes 

He sighed, "Irene all I know is Myungsoo is not cheating on her. He loves Soojung he can never do that maybe Myungsoo just have some personal problems"

"But did something happened on your boys night out? She said that Myungsoo acted like that after the event"

"I'm too drunk to remember it but the last thing I remember Myungsoo brought Hani to our table before we passed out" Hoya said rubbing his nape

Irene furrowed her eyebrows and leaned closer "Hani?"

"Hani, Myungsoo's business partner don't you know her?"

"I think I met her before but I don't remember her face" Irene said

Hoya reached for Irene's hand "But believe me Myungsoo is not cheating on her okay?" he said as he noticed Irene's doubting expression 

"I'm just worried of Soojung, you know she have some trust issues sometimes and you know she's stubborn as always" Irene said with a sigh

Hoya chuckled a little getting what she meant "I know but just be there for Soojung that's the thing you can do and besides those two can survive they love each other and I think Soojung will understand him if ever something happen" 

"Thank you for cheering me up and I'm sorry for ruining our date" Irene said biting her lips

Hoya gave her a genuine smile "No everything is still fine, let's just mind our own business now shall we?"

______________

Soojung laid down on the bed her back was facing Myungsoo while he laid down beside her quietly, staring at the ceiling with a problematic look. He was thinking about the conversation between him and his parents

"Myungsoo is better if you're just going to say it to Soojung" His mother said calmly

His head hung low "I don't know, I don't know how to say it to her"

"Keep it a secret and you'll forever hurt Soojung" His father said to him replying to his words

He hates himself for being such a stubborn for being a coward in situation like this. He surely wants to remember everything that happened to him and Hani but his mind doesn't function it's like all his problems are eating his brain slowly

He glanced at her he can feel her heavy breathing, he moved closer to her and s his arms around her waist burying his face on the back of her neck smelling her perfume

She stayed silent, she's still awake but she still decided not to speak waiting for Myungsoo to speak instead "Soojung"

"Hmm"

"I'm sorry" Myungsoo said softly

"For what?"

"For being like this"

She frowned "What do you mean?"

"For being so stubborn" he simply replied "I'm sorry for worrying you sorry for giving you headache, I'm sorry if I am a burden to you"

Soojung finally faced him as she shifted her position he's still hugging her their eyes staring to each other "What are you saying? You're not a burden"

"Still, I'm sorry" He said kissing her forehead

"Myungsoo" she called almost a whisper but he ignored her and hugged her tight like he doesn't want her to let go "I'm sorry Soojung I'm sorry I promise not to be a burden anymore"

"You're so stupid you're not a burden just a stupid please" Soojung said with a little chuckle trying to light up the mood

"Sorry for being dramatic I just love you so much and I feel sorry" He mumbled

Soojung smiled and pinched his nose lightly "Apology accepted but would you mind to say your problem to me?"

"I don't have any problems" He lied again, "I just feel sorry"

"Weird" Soojung said acting like she bought his answer "Don't be okay? You'll never be a burden to me and it's just normal for me to worry about you I'm your wife"

Myungsoo crept a smile and he caressed her cheeks with his thumb and spill those three lovely words to her "I love you Soojung" he said softly "I love you so much please always remember that"

"I will and I love you too" she answered

He slowly lean to her and claimed her lips as they both shared a passionate kiss. It was sweet for her but for Myungsoo it was bitter because he's kissing her with lies that are buried in his throat that he can never spit in front of her

He's sorry, he's very sorry. If only he can turn back time he will never let Hani take advantage of him. He will never be blinded by her act of kindness but he hope he also hope he can fast forward the time to forget everything, to stop hurting Soojung and Sena secretly.

_______________

Exactly a week passed after the incident and until know Myungsoo haven't said any word to Soojung about it, he act like everything is okay like everything is just normal. Fortunately to him it looks like Soojung already forgot about it since she was busy all of a sudden because of Sena's start of classes

Giving her full attention to Sena just like what other mothers do but Myungsoo never complains he understood it and he can still have time with Soojung every night and besides he is busy with work too since Hani is not even show
