I am coward. I let the person I love go. I couldn't partly blame her for cheating on me. In fact, I took part on it. It may have seem odd on other's perspective but no this isn't me trying to save someone else's dignity. I made her cheat on me. 

I was too engrossed on my work. I was obsessed. I always wanted to be on top of everything. I was too busy making things that may lift my career. I've forsaken my responsibilities to the love of my life. Perhaps she grew tired of waiting for me to come home and embrace her after the tiring work when all along I was stuck at the office signing those papers that can be done on the next day. She give me a lot of chances to make it up to her. But I blow it up. The only excuse I gave is that I have work to do. 

Then, I saw her. She's with another person. She's laughing that it blinded me. I forgotten when was the last time I saw her like that. Her eyes sparkled when that person give her flowers. They walk away hand in hand. I stood to where they have stopped. I picked up the piece of paper that they probably didn't notice that it dropped earlier. I read what's written, it says a party. She must be so happy. I remembered how she love to dance and attend the parties. 

"She's your wife, Yoong! How could she cheat on you?" My mother is furious when she heard about it. As much as I want to keep this from her, I know it will be fruitless to even try. I sigh knowing this won't stop sooner. 

"I'm tired Umma," I softly answered to which I know my father understood. He stopped my mother from talking once more. My mother finally relented so I took it as a cue to go to my room. 

"Knock, knock~" a voice echoed to my silent room. I told the person to come inside. My sister came to my view. 

"Unnie?" small arms wrapped around my shoulder. I slowly engulfed my sister into a warm hug. 

"Will you be staying here now? Where is Seohyun-unnie?" Hannah asked displaying her curious eyes. I nodded my head before ruffling her hair. 

"Seohyun-unnie won't stay here. It's only me," I answered her though it may came vague for her. But she's smart enough not to ask anymore. That night, we sleep together. 

Weeks past and here I am glancing at my wife. She's sitting beside me yet I feel like there's a thick wall separating the two of us. 

"You only need to sign here then the annulment is done," it was the same person I saw with her the last time. He pointed the part where we would sign. I took the pen and write my signature. Who am I to deny my wif-- I mean my ex-wife's happiness when I once took it away from her? 

"Thank you, Yoona-ssi," he said which I only responded with a nod. He took his leave first allowing us to talk a bit. 

"So... congrats! You're finally a free woman now," I said breaking the ice. "I know this may sound selfish but can I get a hug before I finally leave?" I added shamelessly. 

"You'll always be a part of my life, Yoong," she said while we hug each other. I took time to savor the last time I would get to feel her warmness. 

"Congrats in advance for your marriage," I said like it never hurt me a bit. She chuckled and it's the most amazing thing I've heard. She still has an effect on me. 

"Silly, I just got my freedom. I wanted to enjoy myself first," I admit I was hurt but more on being guilty upon hearing her saying those words. Did she feel like being chained on her neck when she's still married to me? But I didn't have the chance to hear her answer when we heard a voice calling her out.

"Yoona! Honey, I need your hands here in the kitchen," I heard my mother yelled downstairs. I quickly go outside my room and proceed to the kitchen. 

"What can I help?" I asked seeing my mother and the maids going to places. 

"You know your sister only likes to eat what you made so can you make something for her to eat first? I got a lot of things in hand and your sister haven't eaten yet," she explained and I mentally reminded myself to check my sister on her room. I excused myself first to ask Hannah what she likes to eat. I came back to the kitchen to cook her pasta. 

"She's getting so like you these days," Umma said and sh
