Unofficial Couple

3 Identities of my Mysterious Wife

Not returning home yet, L.Joe immediately headed for the club where he last met his Queen.

He put on his mask like the last time because it was a needed accessory in the club, and immediately looked around for the Queen he was supposed to find. He frowned when he didn't see any one that looked like his queen, sighing softly.

He approached the bartender instead. "Hey. I was wondering, did you see any girl that looks amazing, and she dances extremely well...err.." he tried explaining, but he doesn't even know how his Queen looks like.

The bar tender gave him a look. "If I want to keep my job," he retorted. "All girls are amazing and all girls dance well. And you do know that all of us are wearing masks?"

L.Joe flustered. "It's not like that. She's really exceptionally amazing and she really really dances well!" he tried saying again. "You know a few nights ago there was this girl that danced super well and everyone was just attracted to her? She was dancing right there!" he pointed to the spot on the dance floor where his Queen had been dancing.

The bar tender rolled his eyes. "Do I look like I remember?" he snapped. "Are you trying to cause trouble? Should I call the securities?" he threatened.

L.Joe immediately backed away, heavy hearted. He sighed and ordered a drink, wondering how he was supposed to look for his dancing girl when she's not here. The next meeting was a long time away too. What is he supposed to do from now till then?

Just then, the crowd became restless and even more so the males. L.Joe squinted through the lights and noticed a familiar figure dressed in a familiar looking dress, walking towards the bar. His eyes widened when he realized who it was. "My dancing girl!" he gasped.

The males were attracted as his masked y girl came to the bar. She coolly ordered a shot and downed it in one go. She sighed and ruffled her own hair, frustrated.

*Choi Mihye. Why are you wavering? You said you won't think about the Knight anymore.* she thought. *You're married to Byunghun oppa. You shouldn't find someone else until you're divorced! Babo babo!*

L.Joe gulped. *It's really her. She's still wearing those clothes from the meeting.* he thought. He walked slowly to her and heard her muttering to herself.

"Why are you so frustrated, my dancing girl?"

Mihye's eyes widened and she immediately spun round, surprised. Her eyes widened when she realized that her Knight was here with her and she cursed herself for forgetting that it was this place where she met him in the first place.

She immediately paid for her drinks and took her bag, turning to leave. L.Joe grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Yah dancing girl, where are you going!" he demanded.

Mihye avoided his gaze. "Another bar. I came to the wrong one." she muttered. "I'm going to another bar."

L.Joe frowned. "What's wrong with this one?" he asked. "If you want to go somewhere else, I'll go with you."

Mihye's eyes widened. She shook her head. "No. I'll go myself." she quickly ran away but L.Joe wasn't slow on his steps as well. He grabbed her and yanked her towards him, causing her petite body to crush into his. Mihye caught a whiff of his cologne and she backed away.

"What are you doing?" she demanded.

L.Joe glared. "No. What are YOU doing?" he asked. "Why are you avoiding me?"

Mihye reddened. "I'm not avoiding you!" she fibbed.

L.Joe rolled his eyes. "Don't try to lie dancing girl, you don't do it well." he muttered. "You've been avoiding me since the meeting this afternoon! What is this? What have I done wrong?"

"You shouldn't be here!" Mihye screamed. L.Joe's eyes widened. *Why is she so angry?*

Mihye looked around and noticed a crowd gathering around them, watching the free show. She grabbed onto L.Joe's hand and led him to one of the private rooms of the Bar. She shut the door and crossed her arms.

"You shouldn't be here." she snapped fiercely at L.Joe. "You should be at home spending time with your wife!"

L.Joe took a sharp intake of breath. *How did she know I'm married?*

"How did you-" he started, surprised.

"Don't care how I know but I just do!" Mihye growled. "You shouldn't be doing this, Knight. You shouldn't be fooling around with other girls when there is someone else waiting for you at home! This is wrong! We are wrong! Everything is wrong!"

L.Joe grabbed her shoulders and made her face him. "Listen carefully." he let out a labored breath. "I know you like me and I like you too. The chemistry is there. You can't just deny it!"

"But you're married!" Mihye shrieked.

"But I don't love my wife!" L.Joe snapped. Mihye blinked and stared at him. L.Joe panted and looked at her. "I don't love her. It's an arranged marriage. We're going to get a divorce."

Mihye's eyes widened. "You are?"

L.Joe nodded. "I know it's wrong to cheat, so I'm asking you to wait for me. Just wait till I've divorced my wife and then we can be together openly, oh?" he pleaded.

Mihye bit her lip. *He doesn't love her? Hey isn't this case the same as me and Byunghun oppa?*

"Actually...I can't get into a relationship now too." she admitted. "I have to wait a few months."

L.Joe brightened. "See?" he grinned. "We can become an unofficial couple. I know you like me and you know I like you. But we're not going to devote ourselves to each other until we can. We can just spend time together as friends but we both know it's more than that. But we won't be betraying our other halves physically."

"It seems..." Mihye gulped. "possible."

L.Joe chuckled softly and gathered her in his arms. Mihye stiffened momentarily, but relaxed when she felt L.Joe her hair. She just felt so at ease.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do this." he whispered into her ear. Mihye nodded, muffling her voice into his chest. She knew the contract she signed with her husband said that she could have romantic relationships with other guys as long as they're not found out by the public.

But she knew she couldn't do it if she really dated while being married. Just liking him would do for now. Until she could really date in public.

L.Joe smiled when she nodded. "So you thought of me too?" he teased lightly.

Mihye rolled her eyes and slapped his chest lightly. "Let's dance." she took his hand and led him out to the dance floor. The two of them felt like they've returned home to their familiar grounds as their bodies began dancing to the music.

L.Joe made a bold move by putting his hands on Mihye's waist and waited for her to push them off. Instead she let his hands stay and put her arms round his neck.

L.Joe smiled and danced close to her, letting his only place of contact with her be his hands. Their eyes met and never left each other as they continued swaying to the music.

L.Joe sighed. *I really can't wait to divorce now. She's really the symbol of the perfect girl in my mind. I wonder what she looks like under that mask.*

Their peace lasted for a while, until Mihye suddenly stiffened. "What time is it?" she suddenly asked.

L.Joe glanced at one of the watches another person was wearing. "10:30pm. Why?"

Mihye gasped. *Oh no! What if Byunghun oppa is home already and he doesn't see me!* she panicked. "I have to go home. I'll see you again at the next meeting alright!" she ran off again, leaving L.Joe in the crowd of dancing people.

L.Joe just sighed. "Disappearing on me again." he muttered. But he smiled again. "But it's okay. At least I know you like me too." he chuckled. "Thanks Apple. Seems like your plan worked."
