Marrying Mr. Know It All // (Alternative Ending is up!)You were at the living room, quietly watching TV. You had just finished eating dinner without Baekhyun, of course. You avoided eating dinner with him, you don’t know why but you just did.
You felt the other side of the couch sink in. You avoided looking that way knowing who it was.
“Now.” He spoke up, “Should we continue our conversation?”
You stood up, “Ah, my stomach hurts so much. I think I ate too much for dinner.”
He pulled you down, “Stop faking.”
“I’m not faking. It really hurts.” You whined. He rolled his eyes, “You didn’t even finish your food for dinner. You expect me to believe that you ate too much?”
“Who told you that?”
“The maids.”
“W-Well then, the food I ate was probably expired, my stomach hurts so badly.”
“Do you think the maids are crazy enough to let you eat expired food?”
You stood up, “I have other things to do.”
“Minseul, please.” He sighed weakly. You gave in and sat down. He had a small smile on his face. “Where did we stop?” He asked, “Ah, you assumed I liked Yeri, that’s why you want a divorce. Am I right?”
You avoided his gaze and nodded.
“Minseul, look at me.”
You shook your head.
“Minseul, I said look at me.”
You shook your head once again. He sighed and made you look at him. He held your face with both his hands to avoid you from turning your head, but that didn’t stop from making your eyes wander around. “Look at me straight in the eyes.”
You ignored him. “Shin Minseul, please.” He sighed weakly. You looked at him in the eyes. He looked back, “Now ask me.”
You gave him a confused look. “Ask me if I like Yeri, ask me that question again.”
You sighed, “D-Do you like Yeri?”
He looked into your eyes and shook his head, “No.”
You looked away from him.”We’re not yet done.” He said. You sighed and looked at him again.
“Ask me if I’m sure.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m very sure.” He gave you a small smile, “Now, ask me who I love and who I want to be with.”
“Who do you love?”
“And?”
You rolled your eyes, “Who do you love and who do you want to be with?”
“You.” He smiled, “I want to be with you, the person I love.”
You rolled your eyes once again, put his hands down and stood up, “I’m going to bed.”
He held your wrist tightly, not letting you leave, “We’re not getting a divorce. I’m not going to sign any divorce papers.”
You sighed and turned to him, “You told me you’d give me what I wanted. Why can’t you give me this? It’s all that I want.”
“I’m not going to break my promise.”
“Promise? What promise?”
“I promised our parents I’d make you happy, I wouldn’t hurt you. I’ll take care of you and be a good husband to you.”
“Screw that promise, Baekhyun. What are you going to do? Keep holding on to that promise? If that’s the reason we can’t get the divorce, then break it. It doesn’t matter anymore. If we explain everything to them, they’ll understand. Do you think they would want to see both of us suffer? Do you think they would want seeing us unhappy? We’re their children, they wouldn’t want to see us like that.”
Baekhyun shook his head, “No.”
“What no? Are you stupid? Are you going let yourself suffer like this?”
“I’m no
