"Breathe in, breathe out," Sab commanded, and I followed her lead. I leaned back and closed my eyes. "Do you want me to come to you?""No," I replied without hesitation.I'm well aware of the complexities of this woman's psyche. When she discovers that Wendy is here at our place, that woman won't leave without some emotional scars. She detests the GraWen love team, claiming it's just a byproduct of our seemingly pointless married life with Grantt."What's the good news you're referring to?" I inquired, attempting to shift the conversation.I remained in my car because I lacked the strength to drive myself. In this state of physical and emotional frailty, it's best not to let my feelings get the best of me, as the results might not be favorable."They simply used voice samples of Grantt and Greel to enhance the recording's authenticity. As for the pictures, they were taken in Gomez's Practice Room. They also utilized tools to make the altercation between the two appear more serious and
He chuckled slightly and averted his gaze. "You said 'love' and not 'loved.' Present tense, right?" He met my gaze. "Where do I stand in all of this, Yongsann? I've repeatedly asked if you still love him, and now I understand how you truly feel."The tone of his speech matched mine, heavy with pain and resentment. In this moment, we both act selfishly. He's considering his feelings, and I am too. We're feeling the same emotions but struggling to comprehend each other."Do you understand the pain I'm feeling right now? No, right? You'll never understand it!" I retorted, filled with bitterness as tears continued to flow down my cheeks. It felt like I was dying over and over again."And do you think you'll understand what I am feeling right now as well? You really love him, don't you? I can't ever replace him in your heart. I understand the pain you're going through, Yong. Believe me or not, our pain is no different right now. You hurt because of Greel, and I'm hurt because of you."Befo
With nothing else to do, I decided to read Sab's books. She's a bookworm, so her mini-library was brimming with books.Now, I grasp the profound love that readers have for books. It's one of the ways to escape from reality.It's been almost a week, and I'm still at my friend's hideout. I have no immediate plans to return home, but the desire to resolve things with that guy lingers.However, it's not the right time, not yet. I'm not prepared to completely forget Greel. I still want to hold myself accountable for the wrong choices I made in the past. I'm determined not to repeat the same mistakes.My phone startled me when it rang. I reflexively glanced at the screen and saw Olga's caller ID. I hesitated briefly, contemplating whether to answer or not, but ultimately, I pressed the answer button. After all, she's not the one causing me pain."Hi, Yongsann! How are you?" she greeted me cheerfully. Based on her tone, it seemed she was oblivious to what transpired between Grantt and me.Th
"Get it together, Yongsann."That cold, commanding voice shattered my attempt to drift off to sleep. He forcefully closed the bedroom door.I had only been away for a week, but it felt like so much had changed, even though nothing had."Mind your own business, Grantt," I muttered weakly, pulling the blanket closer.I had been lying here for hours, and it had been about an hour since his friends left.I thought he'd deny everything about us, but he didn't. I saw the shock on his friends' faces when they learned the truth about us."Is this your usual way of dealing with things? Sulking when there's a problem and blaming everyone for what's happening?" he reprimanded, sounding incredibly stressed.The roles had reversed. In the past, I used to be the one scolding him, but now it was my turn to be in his shoes. He'd soon discover how frustrating it was to lecture someone who had no intention of listening.I tried to dismiss what he said. He had no idea how I felt, and I didn't even know
"Turns out there's a party at Olga's. It's a welcome party for Tristan's sibling," he informed me as I left our room.He shot me a quick glance, clearly raising an eyebrow, most likely due to my outfit. I had deliberately chosen short shorts and a form-fitting v-line crop top, fully aware that he disapproved of such revealing attire.Judging by the emotions written on his face, I had successfully gotten on his nerves. I knew he wanted to tell me to change, but he was restraining himself."Okay, let's go," I said casually and headed out.We both stayed silent as we got into my car. I took the driver's seat since it was my car.I noticed him looking at my wrist. I was wearing the watch that Kenth had given me, not the bracelet from him. He knew that this watch was a gift from my best friend. I had purposely left his bracelet on our bed, hoping he would notice it when we returned.I drove swiftly but carefully. I couldn't bear the silence between us, so I turned on my music player. Their

"Did you just leave this here, like that?" Grantt exclaimed upon spotting the bracelet on our bed.We had just returned from Olga's place, and we had been arguing the whole way home due to Xyril. What am I supposed to do when my ex-more-than-friends wants to talk to me and get close again, right? The issue is, he doesn't express himself openly. He didn't say a word when Xy was talking to me, and later, in the car, he started picking a fight, citing various reasons.I don't know, I can't understand him anymore. I can't comprehend anything anymore. I need some space to think. Perhaps, we need some time to cool down and heal our tempers. We can't keep going like this; we'll just keep fighting until it gets worse.Without a word, I picked up the bracelet he gave me and returned it to its box in my drawer.I left the house and went for a solitary drive in my car, attempting to escape my problems.I turned off my phone to avoid any contact. I just want to be alone for now.I parked my car i
"Ma'am Yongsann, right?" the male nurse attending to Grantt inquired."Yes, how's Grantt?" I replied promptly, standing up. I had been waiting outside their clinic for a few minutes."Sir Grantt will be fine. His fever was high earlier, but it's subsiding now. He just needs some rest because he's also overfatigued, and does he have anxiety?"His last question caught me off guard because I had no idea what the answer was. I hardly knew anything about Grantt, especially in recent times. However, it wasn't impossible given his job and the recent events between us."Just make sure he doesn't get too stressed. Dealing with anxiety isn't a joke. He may have suicidal thoughts. You can go in now."I took a deep breath before entering. Slowly, I drew back the curtain and found Grantt lost in slumber.While he was still asleep, I examined the bruise on his thigh that I had noticed earlier. I shook my head as I scrutinized the injury up close.What is he doing with his life? He's like a child.I
