Both Gian and Seungri were surprise when a tipsy Ilwoo shows up in the penthouse, he's carrying shopping bags on the right hand and a half filled bottle of wine on the other. His not his usual self, the first two buttons of his long sleeves are undone, his cheeks are rosy, his eyes are squinting and he walks unsteadily. Gian raised and eye brow when she saw her friend messed up like that.

 

"Please tell me that you're with one of your securities." Gian said while putting Cassie to her crib.

 

"I'm alone." Ilwoo said smiling, looking at Gian and Seungri. "Let's drink, it's my wedding anniversary today." He drink straight from the bottle and wipe his mouth with the back of his hand.

 

"Yah Ilwoo-ah, what's wrong with you?" Seungri ruffled his hair and trying to yank the bottle of red wine in Ilwoo's hand.

 

"My lovely wife is sleeping peacefully in our house." He slurs and slump his self in the couch. "Let's drink please!"

 

"Any problem?" Gian ask.

 

"Problem?" He smiles. "Your husband always store various alcohol in there right?" He points at the mini bar and stand. "I want to drink, I'll just replace whatever we consume."

 

"Ilwoo, I'm asking you." Gian raise her voice.

 

"Aish! don't get mad at me." He smiles. He squint his eyes once more and look at the wine rack. "What do you guys want?"

 

"Anything!" Seungri said.

 

"Are you allowed to drink Gian? You're still feeding?"

 

"I'm good to go, Cassie is drinking formula milk since last month." She sigh and look at Ilwoo.

 

"Good!" He exclaims and grab the bottle of whisky and three glass in the bar. "Let's celebrate."

 

The two didn't succeed on stopping Ilwoo to drink, actually he drinks more than half of the whisky. His vision becomes blurred and almost puke but he keeps drinking. The pain still lingers in his heart, his mind still replaying what he heard earlier, he wanted to drink until he gets numb and forget everything just for a few hours.

 

"Seriously Ilwoo, what's your problem? Seungri said. "Did you and Chelle fight?" Ilwoo smile but there is sadness in his eyes.

 

"Fight?" He chuckles. "Gian, did your husband love you?" He slurs. Gian just nod. "Did your husband love you?" She nods again and look at Seungri.

 

"Okay, I'm calling her right now." Seungri stands up but Ilwoo stop him.

 

"My wife doesn't love me." He said.

 

"What? Yah Ilwoo, what's wrong?" Seungri pats his back and sigh.

 

"I have a wife that I love more than my life but she love somebody else." He become serious and stare at the two who are shocked. "She still love that KWON JIYONG." He slurs and laughs but sadness is very evident in his face. "She talks in her sleep, she keeps repeating how much she love Jiyong, do you know how that hurts?" He scoffs and grab another bottle of whisky and chug it.

 

"Stop!" Seungri grab the bottle and hide it from Ilwoo. "Tell us what happen, please?"

 

"Can you keep a secret?" He giggles. "Me and my wife have a secret." He lay in the couch and put his arms in his eyes, to cover his tears but his own feelings betray him, he started to cry that he can't stop and start to tell what he and Chelle kept from everyone for a long time.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

"Sorry we didn't call you earlier when Ilwoo arrive in my house." Gian said to Chelle while carrying Cassie in her arms. Her eyes are swollen because of crying.

 

"What happen to him?" Chelle run towards Ilwoo while Paul and Grayson help him out of the car because of so much alcohol intake he fell asleep in Gian's couch. 

 

Minho emerges from the house after calling Matt who is also on his way going to Seoul. He went here immediately when Chelle called him. She can't even talk properly because she keeps on crying. The two is about to leave when Gian and Seungri arrived.

 

"Ask one of your securities to get Ilwoo's car in the basement parking of the apartment, we can't find his car keys." Seungri sighs and look at Ilwoo.

 

"I'm so worried, this is the first time he did this. He didn't answer any of my phone calls and he didn't replied to my messages." Chelle is teary eyed again. "Come inside first, I cook dinner for our anniversary, let's eat."

 

"Just take care of Ilwoo, we have to go." Seungri said. "T.O.P hyung didn't know that we leave the penthouse, he might erupt if he went home and found out that his two girls are not there. I don't want my to get kick." He smies and hug Chelle then tap Minho's shoulder.

 

"Let's just have dinner tomorrow at my house." Gian said. "It's Cassie's 6th month birthday."

 

"Okay!" Chelle replied. "Thank you for bringing Ilwoo home."

 

"No problem!" Seungri said. "Bye!"

 

-----------------------------------------

 

Minho help Chelle carry Ilwoo to their room. He ask Minho to get her a towel while undressing his husband.

 

"Did you two have a fight?" He ask while handling the basin.

 

"No! Why would we fight? It's our wedding anniversary today, Minho. I don't know why he left the house." She answered while wiping her husband with the wet towel. "My God! He's so wasted." 

 

"Good thing he went to the penthouse and didn't go anywhere. Or else it would be a major problem." He sigh. "I'll take care of this. Get rest and sleep, Chelle. You look so tired. I'll be downstairs. Talk tomorrow." Minho kiss her forehead and went downstairs to wait for Matthew.

 

When Minho left, Chelle walks on their closet to grab some clothes and put it in her husband. While wiping her husband, Ilwoo suddenly talks.

 

"Yeobo!" He called. Still his eyes close.

 

"I'm here, yeobo!" She replied.

 

"Yeobo, don't leave me. I love you so much. Don't go with Jiyong."

 

"I'm not going anywhere. I won't leave you." She answered while giving him a kiss and a hug.

 

She's sleepy but she don't want to sleep. She just sit beside the bed and watch her husband sleeping soundly in their bed. She waited until she fell asleep.

 

When she wakes up, Ilwoo is still sleeping. She went downstairs and cook breakfast for her husband and made him a hangover juice. She was surprise to find Minho and Matthew in her kitchen eating the food she cooked for dinner last night.

 

She can't fight her tears when Matthew went to hug her. He let her cry while rubbing her back.

 

"I'm so worried last night that I could die. This is the first time he did that." She said in between sobs.

 

"It's okay, sweetie! You can talk to him later. He's fine! He's in your bed right? We're here." He said with so much concern. "Get some sleep. You look so pale."

 

"I will. I'll just cook breakfast for him." She said while wiping her tears and smile.

 

She place the tray on the table beside the bed and leave him a note. She went out of the house to think what happen. Why Ilwoo did that? What did she do? Did she hurt him in some ways she didn't know? Is he seeing another girl? Did he still love me? Is he leaving me? So many question in her head that she can't help to think. She felt scared on the thought that Ilwoo will leave her. He loves the guy so much! 

 

She wipe her tears and look in the sky. The sun is shinning do bright today. It fells so good on her skin. She took a deep sigh and decided to go back home to talk to her husband. She bump into Matthew in the stairs.

 

"He's awake. I'm going out to get your car in Gian's. Minho's gonna be with me. I ask Ilwoo for the spare key coz he lost the other one." He kiss her cheeks and leave with Minho.

 

He lost her car key. There is something important in that key. She can't loose it. She needs to find that key. She called one of her security and instructed him to find her key. She makes her way to their room and took a deep breath before she turn the know. She found Ilwoo sitting in the bed, both his hand on his hair while holding the note.

 

================================

 

ILWOO's POV

 

 

I woke up with my head hurt likes hell. I shake my head to lessen the pain. I slowly sit in the bed and thought of what happen last night. The last thing I remember is that I drive to Gian's house and ask her and Seungri to drink with me. To celebrate my.... Wedding day. Dammit! I messed up! 

 

"Good thing you're up!" Matthew said when he enters the room. When did he arrived? "Minho called me yesterday. He was so worried when Chelle called her while crying." He walks towards me. He's serious.

 

"Hyung..." The only thing I said.

 

"What the hell is your ing problem, Jung Ilwoo?" He yells. "What gotten into your ing brain to do that ing thing? Are you out of your ing mind?" His voice echoed in the whole room. Matthew never used that tone to me. Never! 

 

"Hyung... I..." I bow my head.

 

"Dammit Ilwoo! This is what I'm telling you before. But you're so stubborn! You didn't listen! Blame it to yourself. Look, I know where your coming from. But Ilwoo you don't have to do that . You make everyone worried. Specially her."

 

"I just can't take it anymore, hyung. It's really painful!" I said. Keep trying not to cry but I failed.

 

He walks towards the bed and sit beside me.

 

"I've warned you before, Ilwoo. But you didn't listen."

 

"Because I love her so much, hyung. You know that! I will do everything for her. She's begging me for help. What do you expect me to do? I can't stand see her like that. It's killing me. I love her more than my life. I love her but she didn't love me."

 

Matthew stared at me while shaking his head.

 

"She loves you, Ilwoo."

 

"Yah right! But she love that jerk more than me." I smirk.

 

"Talk to her. Say that to her. Tell her that your hurt. She has the right to know. She is your wife, Ilwoo. Don't just ignore her and do stupid things."

 

"I don't know, hyung. I really don't know." I rake my hair with my hands.

 

"You choose to be in this situation, Ilwoo. If you can't bare the pain anymore, let go in a right way. Do it right. Do what you think is right before it's too late. I don't want to see you hurting yourself because you hurt her. Think!" 

 

Matthew tap may shoulder. He knows everything about me and Chelle when I asked him to be her doctor and keep her medical records before. He knows the choices I made that made me in this situation right now. 

 

"Eat that!" He pointed on the tray beside the bed. "Your wife made that for you. She didn't get enough sleep. I'm worried. She looks really pale. Me and Minho will get your car in Gian's. I need to be back in Japan today. I have a very important meeting this afternoon. Where's the key?"

 

"I lost her key. Use the duplicate." I pointed the keys hanging beside the light switch. Chelle hang all our keys for us to see it immediately when needed and for us not to put ours keys anywhere and misplaced it.

 

"Call me, Ilwoo. Fixed yourself." He said and went out of the room.

 

I reach for the glass and read the note.

 

Out for jogging. Be back soon. See you later. I love you! - Chelle

 

I eat my breakfast and the hangover drink she prepared for me and it really make me feel better. She really takes good care of me. How can I not love that girl.

 

"Hi! Feeling better?" She said while walking towards me. She bend a little and give me a peck in my lips. "Gian and Seungri drive you home last night." She smile sweetly.

 

I didn't know what to say to her. All I do is stare in her face and watch her every move. I know she's hurt right now. She's hurt because of me. She emerges from our closet with my clothes in her hands when one of her security knocks on our door.

 

"Excuse me, Mr. Jung." He bows and turn to my wife. "Mrs. Jung we can't find your car keys." He said.

 

"It's okay Paul. I'll just go to the lost and found department later to ask if someone turn my key to them. Thank you." She replied.

 

"Why do you have to find that key? You still have the duplicate." I said when Paul went out.

 

"That key is important to me, yeobo. It has my memory. If I lost it, I will lost a very important person in my life."

 

"Yah right!" I said irritably. "Very important person like KWON JIYONG!" I walk towards the bathroom and slam the door close.

 

I open the shower and strip my clothes. Laugher bitterly. Maybe she found out about the ring I place in her key chain. When I bought her the pink hummer I also bought a special key chain for her. It's a cute dress where you can place a picture and it has a secret pocket.

 

When Matthew gave me her belongings, her ring - her and GD's couple ring was found in her pocket. I don't know what to do during that time specially when she beg me to take her pain away.  I decided to keep it and wait for the right time. I put it in her car keys coz I don't want to keep it to myself. You know. It's painful. 

 

After taking a shower, I found her talking on her phone. When I pass through her she mention the car keys again. Damn that ring! Why can't she let it go away. I can buy her lots of rings if she wants. Jealousy strikes my whole being again. 

 

"I'll pick you up at 7. Gian invited us to celebrate in Cassie's 6th month birthday." I said without looking at her and headed downstairs. Where am I going? I don't know. All I know is that I want to be away from her for a moment. I'm just going to hurt her if I stay for sure. I'm not yet ready to tak. I need more time to think. I decided to kill the time in a bar, drinking again.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

When I came back she's not in the house which made me go ballistic again. I threw the vase beside me then on cue she enter the house.

 

"I told you I'm going to pick you up! Where the hell did you go?" I yell at her which made her step back.

 

"What is your problem, yeobo?" She answered with shaky voice.

 

"I told you were going to Gian's. Why can't you understand that?"

 

Instead of arguing, she started to pick up the pieces of the broken vase. I want to hug her and tell her how sorry I am but I can't move. My body is not cooperating. 

 

She ask Paul and Grayson to drive us to the penthouse. She sit away from me in the backsit the entire journey.

 

"I'll just going to follow you. I'll check the car. Maybe you dropped the key here." 

 

I slammed the car door and walks to the elevator without looking back. 

 

---------------------------------------------

 

The whole gang was in the penthouse when I arrived except for GD. Thank God he's not here. 

 

"Where's Chelle?" Seungri ask.

 

"She's still in the parking lot, looking for her damn keys." I answered with a smirk.

 

Right on cue Chelle entered the room followed by the oh so annoying Jiyong and a little girl. I pulled Chelle closer and wrapped my arms around her waist when she sits beside me.

 

"Don't drink too much." She whispers in my ears. 

 

I only look at her and give her a quick peck then clag the beer in my hands. The whole night was full of chatting, endless drinking and non stop laughing. We all enjoy the whole night. I get a little tipsy and excuse myself to use the bathroom. When I came back Chelle is looking in GD's direction while the guy smile at her.

 

Because of alcohol and jealousy I grab Chelle wrist and drag her forcely to stand up.

 

"We're going home." I said 

 

"Let go of my wrist, Ilwoo. You're hurting me." She said trying to pull her wrist on me.

 

"I said we're going home." I yell at her and tighten my grip in her wrist.

 

Seungri stand up try to let go of her hands. I glance at my wife. She's already teary eyes and scared. She winched in pain when I add another pressure into her wrist making everyone stand up and came to us.

 

"Let me go, Ilwoo. I'm coming with you. Just let me go. It really hurts." She pleaded but my ears are closed and my visions turned dark.

 

"Let you go? Why?" I yell at her doesn't care of the people around us. "So you can flirt with G-Dragon?" I smirk and look at the jerks direction.

 

"What's wrong with you?" She ask with tears running down her cheeks.

 

"Dae take the kids in your dorm." TOP said.

 

"Let me go, Ilwoo!" She said again.

 

I drag her towards the door when GD hold my hands trying to take Chelle's wrist on my tight grip.

 

"You're hurting her, Ilwoo. Let her go." 

 

"Back-off Jiyong. Stay out of this." I look in his eyes. Challenging him.

 

"Jiyong it's okay. He's drunk. Let's go, Ilwoo. I'm sorry!" My wife answered.

 

"I'm not drunk, yeobo. I'm completely fine."

 

"Ilwoo enough! Let her go!" GD yell at me.

 

"Let her go for what Jiyong?" I pull my wife behind me and stand infornt of Jiyong. "Stay away for her. From us. It's none of your business. We can fight like any other MARRIED COUPLES! SHE'S MY WIFE!" I said every word in his face.

 

I saw Taeyang pull GD away. Drag him outside the house while throwing deadly stare from me. I grab the bottle of wine in the table and drag Chelle with me to the door. 

 

"I'm not coming with you." I was taken a back after hearing what she said making my grip lose. She snatch her hand from me. "Go home, Ilwoo. I'm not going home with you." Then she takes a key in her pocket and hand it to me.

 

"So you already found your precious key." I snatch the key in her hands. "What's with this ing key that you keep on talking and looking for it the whole ing day!" I scream at her. I don't care if we're not in our house. "Fine! So you can go back to Jiyong. Go back to him and rot wherever you want for all I care!

 

Instead of answering me, she called Paul and Grayson and instructed then to take me home. I try to reach for her hand again but then TOP blocked my way.

 

"I don't care if you're his husband, Ilwoo. This is still my house. If she doesn't want to come with you, don't force her. Don't worry she's safe with us." He said in a serious tone.

 

I glance at her again. She's standing behind TOP while Gian caressing her. Before my tears fall I turn my heels and walk towards the door. I'm so sorry yeobo! I'm so sorry!

 

I let myself cry and drink the wine on our way back to our house. I went on my own to our bedroom holding her keys in my hands even though I can't walk straight. When I'm inside our room I breakdown and curse myself for being an idiot.

 

I throw her keys on the wall making the Hello Kitty keychain breaks. Small pieces of papers scattered around our floor. My eyes lids are heavy and my head hurts so much. I crawl towards the papers and found the shocked of my life.
