I left early that morning because I just needed some time to think. I'm a traditional girl and to me, meeting parents means marriage. Does Doojoon honestly want to marry me? Is that the real reason why he took me to meet his family? While at work, I soon realise I forgot my phone at home so I couldn't text Doojoon. We texted each other every single day as soon as we could. I had to go back and fetch it, I needed my cellphone.


"Mrs Park?"
"Mmm?"
"I left something important at home so would you mind if I fetch it?"
"Go ahead, just don't be long." She said blankly without even lifting her head.


I found our house door unlocked and I wasn't really worried about it because Doojoon can be careless.

"Baby? Are you still home?" I didn't get an answer so I asumed he was in the shower. I was right, he was in the shower when I reached our room. I grabbed my phone and before I left back for work I thought I'd give him a kiss goodbye since I didn't this morning.
I open the door and I see Min-hee in the shower with Doojoon.

"Oh my God, What the HELL is this???" I yelled at both of them, I could feel tears slowly building up in my eyes.

"Baby, its not what you think!" Doojoon replied quickly.
"You know what? I honestly thought you changed, but you didn't! I thought you were ready for a commitment but you're not. I honestly thought being hurt by family was heartbreaking, but this is so much worse. I hope you two are happy with each other." By the time those words came out of my mouth, tears were already flowing out of my eyes.
My heart felt as though someone has taken a knife and stabbed it repeatedly. My heart was aching with physical and emotional pain. I couldn't believe what I just saw, I can't believe I was dumb enough to believe that he'll change for me.

The entire day, I was just in so much pain and disbelief. I called Taka and told her what happened and asked if I could stay the night. I didn't want to see Doojoon's face, I wouldn't be able to deal with all the emotions that I have towards him.
I fell asleep crying, my eyes were too sore to even look straight. I called in sick from work because I just wasn't in the mood to go to work, especially looking the way I was looking.
Doojoon had called and texted all night. I didn't feel any remorse towards him, I didn't even care to hear an apology from him. I lost all interest in him.

Taka made breakfast, I was completely shocked to find her actually cooking. Gikwang has a really good influence on her.
During breakfast, Taka's phone started ringing. It was probably Gikwang so it didn't really bother me much.

'At least he's faithful to her.' I thought.
She walked towards me and handed me the phone.

"Its Doojoon." She whispered
"I don't want to talk to him." I said this aloud hoping he heard it.
"Listen, just take it. You don't have to forgive him or anything but just listen to what he has to say." She whispered back.
Rolling my eyes, I took the phone from her hand.

"What do you want?"
"Could you come to the house? We need to talk. Please."
"Talk about what? Your actions were pretty clear yesterday."
"Baby please, just let me explain. I don't expect you to forgive me but please just hear my side of the story."
"Okay fine, I'll be there in 15." I hung up before he said anything else.

"Chlo, I'm here for you no matter what." She gave me a hug. I felt so loved by her, she is what she is but when I need her she's always there for me.
I left her apartment and took a cab back home.

I saw that the door was unlocked again and I knew something wasn't right.
I found Doojoon sitting outside on the grass. I couldn't help but laugh at him. He looked like a gypsy when he sat like that. I went out to the garden and sat opposite him.

"Baby, just let me explain." I sat quiet, deciding to listen to his side of the story. Even though I knew I wasn't going to believe anything he said.


"Min-hee broke into the house, I didn't know how but she damaged the lock and came in. When she came into the bathroom I thought it was you which is why I didn't have time to do anything. She came into the shower and I still thought it was you until I saw her face. I tried to stop her baby, please believe me! I thought I could fight her off and then you came in and saw us together. I love you and I know that things won't be perfect from now on but I'm willing to do anything to prove that I love you. Baby please believe me." My eyes were filling up with tears. Should I believe him?? What should I do??

I really love Doojoon but...

 ---------**DOOJOON's POV**-----------

The next morning Chloé left early and I had no idea why. I tried to think that nothing was wrong. After drinking a cup of coffee, I went upstairs to take a shower. I just stood there under the shower tap thinking if maybe Chloé and I should get married. It just feels so right. A noise interrupted my thoughts.
'It must be Chlo, since she forgot her phone at home.' I thought.
I heard the shower door open and soft hands covered my eyes.

"Came back to get your phone babe?"
"Yeah I came back to get what's mine."
I realised that voice didn't belong to Chloé, I turned around and saw Min-hee.

"What the hell??? How did you get in here, get out!!! I told you we're through!!!" I was now yelling and preparing myself to call the police. The next thing I knew, Chloé walked in and started yelling.

"Baby, its not what you think!" I tried my best to convince her that I'm innocent and that I did nothing wrong.

She said something, that hurt me...

"You know what? I honestly thought you changed, but you didn't! I thought you were ready for a commitment but you're not. I honestly thought being hurt by family was heartbreaking, but this is so much worse. I hope you two are happy with each other."

After she left, I couldn't help but take out my frustrations on Min-hee. This was all her fault!

"Why did you do that Min-hee????!!!!!! You just ruined everything!!! Get out of my house!!!! Just leave!!!!!"

I think she must have been really scared at my sudden rage because she put her clothes on and left.
My heart raged with anger towards Min-hee and sympathy for Chloé. I love Chloé and now that was all ruined.

I tried calling her and texting her all day but she wasn't responding to any of them. That night I slept on the couch, I couldn't sleep in my bed alone, without Chloé. It just didn't feel the same. All sorts of things ran through my mind, did she eat? Will she ever want to speak to me again? How do I explain this to her?

The next morning felt so weird and awkward without her there getting ready for work or standing in the kitchen with her coffee mug. No good night kiss, no goodbye kiss not even a hug. I felt so lost without her. I decided to call Taka to check up on Chloé, I knew she would be at Taka's place.

After Chloé agreed to come over, I tried to tidy up as much as I could. Chloé hated it when the house was untidy. I wanted to prove to her that I love her and that I'm willing to do anything for her.

I sat outside, waiting for her to come home. I didn't want to lose her, that was my biggest fear. My life was nothing without her, I needed her in my life. My life changed for the better ever since she came into my world.

When she came outside, I wanted to desperately hug her and protect her with my arms. I didn't want to be so distant. She sat opposite me, my mind was thinking carefully what to say. I couldn't mess this up.


"Baby, just let me explain." I managed to say. After telling her what had happened, her tears were flowing uncontrollably. I wanted to comfort her but I wasn't sure if she even wanted to be near me right now. It was silent for a while.

"I think we need a break Doojoon." She said with even more tears pouring out.
