INFEDILITY ✔️

-23-

Taehyung licked his dry lips as he looked at Jia, she wasn't asleep but she was pretending to be asleep. Since last night, she hadn't talked to him, she was ignoring him.

"Jia, wake up." he softly said, sitting beside her, and caressing her head."I made special breakfast for us, authentic Korean breakfast, you like it, right?" he tried to coax her, ignoring the elephant in the room. "Jia, I know you are awake, don't do this, I hate silent treatment, we can talk, right? You didn't even ask for my explanation." he said tugging the blanket. She sat up before going inside the washroom, she didn't reply to him. He fixed the bed. "Usually people look weird when they wake up, but you have an amazing skin when you wake up, you have the best morning glow!" he tried to act normal.

This wasn't in his plan, he was never going to confront this, he planned on never telling her about the stalking thing.

She ignored him and stood ahead of the dressing table, applying moisturizer on her face, she didn't say anything when he hugged her from behind.

He shortly smiled feeling her warmth and scent, he thought he would lose it forever. Though she acted like he was invisible to her, he kissed her neck, caressing her arm, trying to be loving.

"What I did can't be justified, but I can make up for it, just give me a chance, I fell in love for the first time and I didn't know how to cope up with that strong feeling, I was used to having my own way so I didn't put much thought to the impact it could leave on you." he said though she was deaf to his words and doing her skincare. "But it is past, right? Can't we leave that behind and live like before? You should see the good side of me, I did change for you, in ways you would never know."

"How would I know that?" she turned around to face him. "Or maybe I should ask your former girlfriends, it wouldn't be a bother for me since you have dated almost the whole city." she smiled playfully and turned around looking at him through the mirror. "But shouldn't I be grateful? You had so much interest in me for such a long time that you stalked me, stole my used stuff like a psycho lover and had my pictures from everywhere I went. Not to forget that you sneaked into my apartment and left letters, bouquets and some gifts leaving me baffled. That was not creepy, instead it was an act of love, right? You are right, I should be happy I got a husband who is obsessed with me. Thank you so much for being like this to me, it shows how much you worship me." she said sarcastically before continuing her work.

Jia wasn't mad at him, she was disappointed and hurt. She had not expected him to lie to her and him turning out to be her stalker.

He looked down, he didn't like her taunting words and tone but he didn't say anything, he was at fault right now so he had to keep quiet. He cleared his throat.

"Come done, the breakfast will turn cold." he went away ignoring her words.

He punched the wall, he had never been in such situations where he had to beg for someone's forgiveness or placate someone and follow them around, bearing their tantrums. No girl had ever talked sarcastically to him, or made him put efforts to get her.

That was what he liked about Jia, he was thrilled by that chase, she played hard to get and that made him more intrigued by her, he wanted her by hook or by crook.

He hated how Jia was treating him now. What was the big deal if he stalked her? She was going to be his woman anyway, or had she lost her interest in him because she got to know how much whipped he was for her? Didn't she love him? It shouldn't matter for her if her husband turned out to be her stalker, right? Since it wasn't some random creep, shouldn't she be at peace?

He was standing in front of the dining table, waiting for Jia, though he disliked her attitude, he still didn't want her to be upset with him, he really loved her, so he put aside his ego, he had sworn to never shout at her, treat her harshly or hurt her ever since he saw her. He wanted to treat her differently, with gentleness and love.
