"I am going out with Jongin tonight, are you happy, Ms Matchmaker?"

Taehee texted a quick reply with her lips curled in satisfaction. She has been pestering Jongin to court Yujin as she strongly believes that there must be sparks between the two of them. When she saw that text, she knew she had successfully persuaded Jongin to make a move. It would be great to finally see her best friend dating someone worth her time and decent and all she prays is for their date tonight to go smoothly, leading to more dates in the future.

She put her phone away immediately when she heard knocks on her door. Her assistant informed her about the arrival of her client before leading her client in. Taehee could recognise the woman in her late thirties immediately when she entered her room. It was her high school homeroom teacher.

"Mrs Kim?" Taehee greeted, "Have a seat!" She led her to the chair in opposite her, "It has been really long! Why didn't I see you at the reunion last month?"

"I had something on. It's great to see you after so long, Taehee. Look at you now, achieving big things as usual, my best student," She then noticed the photo frame next to the table lamp, "I still can't fathom the fact that you got married to the notorious kid, Oh Sehun."

"I know right, Mrs Kim. It was crazy, but he loves me a lot. And so do I."

There were wrinkles forming at the corner of her eyes when she smiled, showing signs of aging. Taehee may not keep in contact with teachers who have taught her but if she had to choose one whom she respected the most, it would be her homeroom teacher. She could still remember the bookmark that Mrs Kim made for everyone in her class to cheer them on for the final exams, aside that, she had different message written, dedicated to each and every student. Even back when she had a heart of stone, Taehee felt touched by her teacher's effort.

"So what brought you here, Mrs Kim."

The pain on her teacher's face was evident and tears started pooling, Taehee could tell that her teacher was trying very hard to hold back "I am here to file for a divorce."

Divorce cases aren't unusual to Taehee and for someone who values professionalism and would never let her personal feelings get in the way, Taehee can't help to feel sorry for her teacher because it was a first time dealing it for someone who is close to her. She shouldn't be the one who persuade her teacher to give a second thought about the divorce because it is not part of her, but she did it anyway. She didn't want her teacher to give up on 12 years of marriage so easily and let it go down the drain. It isn't easy to part with someone whom you have spent almost half of your life with - Taehee knows that best.

"I have never been so sure in my life, Taehee. If I don't do it now, I might regret in the future."

"Why? Why do you want to file for a divorce?"

"He cheated on me. I caught them in a hotel room."

 

Taehee felt guilt eating her up when she came home to burnt candles, cold steak, and a husband sleeping with his head resting on his arms on the dining table. Four years into this marriage, this sight wasn't uncommon to Taehee and it has happened too many times that Taehee felt like she at being a wife. She tip-toed to her husband and woke him gently. 

"Hey, you are back?" Sehun asked, rubbing his bleary eyes as he tried to look at the time on the wall clock.

"I am sorry Sehun, I was stuck at work. I had to settle some documents for the court tomorrow and the dinner slipped my mind."

Sehun sighed. Albeit knowing that she didn't mean to miss the dinner as she had tons of work to do, it hurts him a little to hear his wife saying that she forgot about their candlelight dinner date, which explains why it didn't strike her mind to give him a call to inform him about coming home late. 

"It's okay."

That was supposed to comfort Taehee and make her feel less bed, but it didn't. Because she knew it was an instinctive reply from Sehun everytime she forgets about their dates. He was just saying for the sake of saying but it didn't mean it was really okay for him. The disappointment on his face didn't go unnoticed and it made Taehee feel 10 times worse than she already is. When they were still in school, it was easier to hang out and go on dates frequently, but as they started working, even a dinner date is hard to come by. Sometimes it would be Sehun waiting for Taehee to come home, while sometimes, it's the other way round. 

She gave her husband a back hug as she leaned her face against his sturdy back, "I am sorry, honey. Don't be mad at me."

Sehun wasn't mad, how can he be mad at his wife when she already had a long day at work? It's not like she had a choice, there are times work just come before anything else and he can totally understand his wife. He turned around her trapped his wife in his arms, inhaling her vanilla scent. How is it that she still smells so good despite being out for work for the whole day? 

"I am not mad at you, love. But I would appreciate if you give me a call next time."

Taehee cupped Sehun's cheeks and brought his lips towards her since she was a head shorter than the giant. Sehun laughed into their kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist tightly to deepen the kiss. They made ou

Tbh my heart always clench everytime I read this story. This story really made a big impact in my heart. Like when I read this It hurts. Im just i hope the ending was like. Im sorry but more better? I was actually little just little disappointed on how the ending went? I think it would be better if taehee and sehun didn't end up together. I mean yes you can forgive but you can never forget. Thinking how your man cheated is already enough for you to realize the possible things that might happen again in the future. I believe in change but when it comes to this kind of things i think forgiveness is enough. This is just my opinion though so its not important 😂 And i think taehee just love sehun so much to the point that she chose to be with him again. But i was actually hoping for her and junmyeon to be together. So yeah. The ending was still nice though and the whole story was well writtened. I might be back here again soon. Job well done author-nim 🫶

Chapter 30: I think it’s a great choice to let Junmyeon go back to US without Taehee. He deserve happiness too. Taehee is obviously will never move on from Sehun even if she’s already get along with what happened in the past. I don’t know if Sehun deserve Taehee after all of this time but whatever makes Taehee happy, she deserve it. And if by letting Sehun in again in her life makes Taehee happy, then he better worship her like everyday he’s close to death. Taehee not only forgive him and letting him back again but also treating Yeri like she’s her own daughter.

Chapter 22: I can’t stop crying since Taehee discovered about Sehun and Yujin. Like she’s so precious, how can both of them the closetest people in her life hurt her so much? Taehee moving to a new country to start her new life is not an easy decision and I’m glad she tried to find her happiness despite all of the heart break.

“I am not going to show Sehun that I am leading a better life with the appearance of a new guy in my life. If I were to show him that I am better off without him, I would show how happy I have become on my own. I am going to work on self-love first before I ever open my heart again for someone. And If I were to do that, I want to do it because I love him and not to infuriate Sehun or what. Sehun is out of my life, guys.”

I love what Taehee said. She really is healing slowly since the day Jongin and Soojung talk to her. I really really am proud of her.
