A/N: I hope I don't confuse you with the random change of point of view, but you're brilliant people, you get it easily. Thanks for your usually wonderful comments. Keep them coming to me! <3

“Next event, you are not wearing the same kind of clothes again.” I frown as Taemin keeps on reminding me that I should not wear this dress anymore. Like seriously, who picked this one in the first place? Who told me that this one looked best? Why is he acting like he is really against this outfit?

I don’t understand this person. Not at all right now, and he even removed his coat to place it around me, because he thought I’m exposing too much.

He loves undressing women off, so I am not expecting him to be this conservative. Gosh. So complicated.

“He probably didn’t expect the effect of these men staring at you.” Kibum whispers, but because he is sitting just beside Taemin, the latter also hears it. He rolls his eyes on Kibum, but the older just chuckles. “Is it irritating, Taemin? To know that other guys are delighting themselves to someone you own already?”

“Hey. Your mouth, Kibum-ah.” Jinki scolds and made an obvious look at Dannie. She is there beside me so it is better to be careful of the things we are saying. Dannie’s old enough to understand certain things and be curious enough to ask about things she doesn’t understand.

“They could look, but could never lay any finger on my woman.”

Do I hear it right? “MY” woman? He is referring to me? And he is saying these things in front of his friends? What does he have in mind, really?

Oh yeah, probably to really just show me off, and prove them that only him can have me, and they could only be jealous all they like because they could never lay any finger on me just like he does, and it makes his ego as a man boost up to the nth level.

Wow. Am I really thinking of these things? Do these guys really look at me? Why would they? There are bunch of even more gorgeous women in this event, and to be honest, I don’t think I could even match to their level. They bring their clothes and themselves really well, unlike me.

“Hi, guys.” I am just speaking about them, until one of these gorgeous women comes in. She looks fabulous and glamorous and oh… she has big curls.

Ahh, she’s probably…

“Your ex?” I whisper close to Taemin because I know I just need to ask it right away. You know, I can’t control my mouth and my curiosity.

“You could say that.” He glances at me and smiles like a child. Gosh. “Are you thinking about what’s going to happen next?”

“She’s probably going to insult me in the most fabulous way possible.” I say but I don’t know what’s with me at this moment. I am talking a while ago about how these women are more fabulous, but now that one of them is coming face to face with me, I have this whole confidence that I can win over her. For some weird reason, I just feel like I have something that perhaps, she doesn’t have, and no one else has.

Taemin chuckles, and a playful smile reappears. He is enjoying making women fight over him for real.

“Hi, Taemin.” She greets Taemin with that flirtatious smile, and looks at me, almost rolls her eyes but manages to show a fake smile. Of course, obviously, it’s fake.  “Hi.”

“Hello.” Since I don’t know how to act pretentious, I deliver a cold “hello” to which she frowns, but maintains her poise and looks at Dannie.

“Hi, little girl. Your dress looks cute. Who bought that?” She asks Dannie to which my child smiles genuinely. She could not read this woman, of course, but Dannie, this girl wants to steal your daddy from your mommy so stop…

…oh, I’m being carried away with this.

“Hi.” Dannie waves. “I bought this with mommy and daddy.”

“Mommy and Daddy?” She looks at me, and then to Taemin, then looks at the other four guys, but goes back to Taemin after a while. “Are you her daddy?” She asks bluntly, her fabulous look and poise seem to banish by how she sounds so trashy suddenly.

“I am.” Taemin answers shortly, and she displays her amused, confused, and pissed off expression.

“So… you are the wife?” She raises an eyebrow down at me. I raise my eyebrow, too. Who would want to lose? I don’t.

Jinki-ssi then stands up and takes Dannie to somewhere. He probably senses that this girl is about to do some scene that Dannie should not see nor hear.

“I am.” I answer unconsciously imitating Taemin’s way of responding just a while ago.

“For how many years? I’m surprise you have a child already.”

“For more than six years now. They lived abroad for some years and went back few months ago.” It’s Taemin who answers her question. I’m a bit surprised at those lie he is saying, though I’m aware of it since we talked about telling everyone that we’re a real couple, and she’s really our daughter, so no one would question and Dannie won’t hear any negative remarks regarding her.

“So do you know Taemin and I had a relationship while you were away?” She smirks at me, as if it’s something she could be proud of.

Like hello? You are basically telling me you are once someone’s other woman, and you’re proud of it? What’s wrong with you?

“I know.” I stand up, levelling myself to her. Surprisingly, we are almost of the same height. She only has higher inches of heels so she is a bit taller. “That’s why I went home. I need to get my husband out of these girls he’s been playing with.” She stares at me, like she is about to eat me. I just smile. “You know men. They’re like rats. They play around when the cat isn’t around.”

What? Did I just compare Taemin to a rat? I secretly take a glance on Taemin. There is a weird smile on his face. He’s probably wondering why rat of all animals in the world.

She crosses her arms in front of her, “Aren’t you gonna ask me how many times your husband and I played on bed?” Wow. I am not prepared with the trash talking. Gosh. The garbage in smells so gross. Yuck. This flirt.

What to answer… what to answer… what to answer… what to…

“Oh. Maybe way way way lesser than the countless times we… you know.” A smirk appears on my face. I feel victorious though I couldn’t really complete the sentence. I don’t want to sound as desperate as her, and I just couldn’t tell such lie.

I look at the guys. Minho, Jonghyun, and Key are looking at me so weirdly, as if they are starting to believe what I just said. Taemin, too, is wearing this confused but amazed look on his face, and it’s weird how he looks so proud and glad. Gosh. Seriously. I can’t anymore.

“Should we go home?” I ask Taemin and he thinks for a while before nodding. By the looks I’m getting from his other three friends, I just want to escape there and be gone out of their sight. It’s making me uncomfortable. 

I stand up ahead of Taemin and walk towards where Dannie and Jinki ssi are, leaving that girl completely alone. But just when I’m about to get there, a group of three gorgeous men appear in front of me. “How rude it was for Doctor Lee Taemin to not introduce you to us? Should we do it?” One of them smiles and offers his hand to me. I take it and shake it nicely. I also shake the other two’s hands.

“Where are you going? Can I offer you something? Drinks? Anything?” One of them asks to which I only decline politely.

“I’m sorry, I’m just about to get my daughter since we’re going home.” I say.

“Going home? But it’s too early. You should have some fun and you know, meet more people.”

“It’s okay.” Suddenly, a familiar arm is wrapped around my waist and I see Taemin beside me smiling mockingly at the three. “I think my wife is fine with knowing few good people.” He says, looks at me and winks.

“Taeminniee, my dongsaeng…” One of them speaks and pats Taemin’s shoulders. “Why are you being like this? We use to share…”

“I’m sorry?” Taemin frowns while looking directly at the other man, completely cutting him off. “Yes, we share over those I don’t value that much. I believe no one would ever want to share something so precious to him.” He shrugs his shoulders. “Are you happy after shaking my wife’s hand? It’s the only part of her body you can touch, and that would be the last time. Now if you may excuse us…” Gently, he pulls me out of the three’s sight and we continue walking towards Dannie. I look up at him, and when he notices, he looks back at me and asks, “What?”

I couldn’t respond. Suddenly, I think I lost my voice to nowhere.

“If this is what you’re thinking, yes, I do share women with those guys. I was like them, but you’re a different case here. You’re not someone I can share.” I am surprised to hear those words coming from him.

Again, he sounds so unbelievable.
