Jaejoong had forgotten that his mistress was going to come tonight. It was his company’s party and she did work there too, but he had forgotten. Having Soo Yun in his arms, laughing and talking actively, he, for a second, thought the past month had been a dream. A dream good or bad, he didn’t know, but a dream either way. It felt almost nice. Until she arrived.

                It was like the darker side of Jaejoong had taken over and he became this man his good side couldn’t fight back. His palm started sweating and in that instance, he slightly moved away from Soo Yun. She tensed in his arms, and even though it didn’t look that way to the others, he felt it and a part of his heart throbbed. He promised himself, then and there, he wouldn’t leave her tonight.

It felt like those moments were reserved for only Thursday nights. He looked to see if his wife was still there where he last saw her. She was. And someone was eyeing her, some guy in gray. Rage filled him up.

                “Why are you jealous, you’ve done worse. Why does it matter if she wants to hang out with that man on her Thursday nights?” his conscience whispered and he clenched his fists. Because his damn conscience was right, and wow, he felt like an . Why in the world did he ever agree to Soo Yun making this marriage an open one? His dark side had jumped at her opportunity and said yes for himself. He had asked himself day and night why he agreed with her and it wasn’t until then, right in that room, that it hit him. He was a man, and a damn human being. They’ve got urges and flaws. When Jaejoong got promoted to CEO, his life got rough and even though Soo Yun understood and tried the best she can
