Sixty six

Severely, I guess I loved you too severely the music blared into her ear as soon as she picked up her mobile. She struggled with her eye mask to sit up and read the number.  Hyo Ri was almost certain that they made a pact to mess with her sleep.

“Hello?”

“He’s cheating on me!” she bawled into the phone.

“Who’s cheating on you? It’s two am Suzy”

Foolishly, I guess I loved you so foolishly

 “Turn down the music for god’s sake” she heard her sniffling before the music died.

“He’s not home yet. He’s shagging someone!” she sighed.

“How is he not home yet?” she sniveled again. She then proceeded to explain how they had a fight the night before.

As a young boy, Seung gi always looked up to his father. He was a very caring and devoted man. He learned that he must keep the ones he loves safe and cherished. He learned that he must never leave his loved one alone and very worried about him after midnight. He must never walk home, fully drunk, with the help of his friends, smelling terrible. He must never expect her to still allow him to sleep with her, whining about it when she doesn’t.

That’s why, when he woke up that day, knowing that he broke every one of those guidelines last night, he was terrified. The previous day, she found a message on his phone. It was from his friend in high sch
