Chapter 21 
Half of The Truth

***

"you're married ...?!" he repeated in shock

"ne, It's been four years already Jongin." you explained

"you got married after we broke up?" he asked

"I had too, for the business.." you whispered loud enough for him to hear

"that's it? as simple as that?!" he smirked, "that explains why you're all dressed like that" he pointed

"are you trying to mock me?" you questioned starting to feel insulted

"you probably got married to some rich guy huh?" he asked back

"it's not like that! our parents arranged it since we were young and only found out once I came back to Japan..." you tried explaining

Jongin suddenly holds onto your right hand and witnesses the ring placed next to the pinky "so it is true,,," he sighed

You wanted to cheer him up. "but hey you're debuting now shouldn't you be hap-"

"HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BE HAPPY IF I SUFFERED FOR FOUR YEARS WAITING FOR AN EXPLANATION FROM YOU AND FOUR YEARS LATER JUST BEFORE I DEBUT YOU COME BACK AND TELL ME YOU'RE MARRIED HOW THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY HYORIN-AH!" he yelled and tears were now running down his face.

Just seeing Jongin breakdown made you heart ache.

"I did this for you ... please Jongin I'm sorry..."

"WHAT ABOUT THAT NIGHT HUH?! DID THAT NIGHT NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?! he asked

"IT DID! THAT'S WHY I AGREED TO IT JONGIN" *because of that one night your daughter now exists..* 

"THEN WHY DID YOU.. just leave like that.." he started to calm down

"I was being selfish, I didn't know how to approach you so running away was the option that I thought was best." you explained once more

"indeed you were selfish ... I just .. aish! you don't know how much pain I went through" he mentioned 

"you weren't the only one suffering.."

"haha you? suffering? didn't you have your 'husband'?" he asked like a jerk

"do you honestly think that It didn't hurt leaving you?! I simply had no choice, I swear you can be inconsiderate sometimes!" you complained

"you make me laugh Hyorin-ah, me inconsiderate? you're the inconsiderate one here" he complained back

"I guess it was better to break up with you .." and from that he froze and looked at you

"Hyorin-ah .. wait let me-" before he could explain you quickly ran down the stairs from the emergency exist and ran down several floors hoping Jongin wouldn't chase after you. When you no longer could hear any footsteps you called Hyomin to wait for you in the lobby so you could quickly leave, You took the closest elevator and stopped at the lobby of the building. Jongin was out of sight and there was Hyomin instead, you quickly ran to her and pulled her out of the building. 

You quickly called a taxi and headed home. Hyomin understood the situation and silent comforted you by pulling you into an embrace, you couldn't control your emotions anymore and you let the tears you held back fall. 

You were now at home ~ eonni was at work and Luhan was at JYP today. You went inside your bedroom and lied down on the bed. Hyomin was sitting down beside the bed and watch you calm down. 

"I'll leave you alone for no-"

"no, stay with me" you asked

Hyomin lied down next to you and hugged you. Hyomin always knew how to cheer you up. 

"I'm sorry that you had to see him" Hyomin apologised

"ani- I just can't believe I forgot about him being a trainee there .
