song of the chapter- Mistake by: Park Won

 With a shaky hand, I pressed the four digit number code, which unlocked the door. Taking a deep breath, I opened it and walked inside the apartment.

I heard him in the kitchen, microwaving the food that I had put in the refrigerator for him.

"Sujin?" He called me, and walked out of the kitchen and looked at me with a concerned look on his face. "Where were you? I came home and I didn't see you anywhere. I got worried." 

Although I had every right to start screaming and yelling at him, and even confronting him about that woman that I saw him holding in his arms earlier... I only smiled.

I held the plastic bag of snacks that I bought at the convenient store nearby up to my face. 

"I just went out to get a late night snack." I say and giggled. "Why were you so worried about me for?"

He scoffed, and put his hands on his waist. "Well, I was... I was just worried that something might've happened to you." 

Sure you were worried.

You were only worried if you got caught cheating by your wife.

I thought, and I looked down at the bag. 

I went to the convenient store right after I witnessed the scene to avoid any suspicion that he would think that I saw him and that woman, and stayed there for twenty minutes. 

"What did you even get this late at night?" Taehyung asked as he walked forward and peeked inside the bag. "Ooh! Shrimp crackers!"   

"You can have some if you want," I just say as I walked towards the kitchen and placed the bag down on the counter, and began walking towards the bedroom. 

"Sujin," He called me again, and I turned around and looked at him. 

"Hmm?" I say.

"Are you feeling alright? You don't look okay." He asked me. 

I started to laugh dryly at his simple question for me, that I wanted to break down and cry right then and there. 

I wasn't okay... I was angry, frustrated... and heartbroken.

"I'm okay," I finally say as I nodded. "I'm okay."

He looked at me, with that concerned expression on his face still... and I began to think if he was really concerned for me... or was pretending to be, which I never thought of him before.

After a moment of looking at me, he began to walk over to me, until he stopped right in front of me. He didn't say anything, but he wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me into one of his hugs that I thought were the loveliest to feel.

But for this hug... I didn't feel any comfort. 

All I thought was that these were the same arms that embraced another woman too tenderly, other than me... and I felt disgusted but I didn't say anything. 

"I'm sorry," He says softly... and my heart raced. 

Why was he apologizing? Did he see me in the parking garage? Did he know that he got caught?

"For what?" I ask.

"For not coming home earlier. I guess that you're upset with me since you've been waiting for me to come home and eat with you..." He says, and I just closed my eyes.

"Why weren't you home?" I say, trying really hard not to sound irritated. "was it because of work again?"

"It was a really busy day today. I had to go to the studio to do some more test runs for the soundtrack for the drama. And plus, the traffic today was horrible too."

Though I tried to act really strong, like those married woman in dramas when they found out their husbands were cheating and kept really calm and pretended like nothing ever happened.

 I didn't have any experience like this before... and maybe that was the reason why I started to break down right there.

"Sujin? Why are you crying?" He says worriedly, and even had the guts and started to chuckle a little bit. "Did you really miss me that much?" 

But I kept on sobbing, and softly hit him on the chest with my fists.

"You're such a bad man, Taehyung. How could you still act like you really care for me when you're actually hiding another woman behind my back?  Why? Am I not enough for you?"

Was the words that I wanted to say to him, but I was unable to... at least not right now.

My knees began to weakened from the unbearable sorrow, and Taehyung picked me up from the ground, and carried me in his arms, and laid me softly on the bed. 

Although he kept asking me why I was crying, I never answered him, and continued to cry as he tucked me in bed, and left the bedroom without another word, and closed the door behind him.

I laid there, clutching my pillow as I cried myself to sleep.

I didn't know what to do at this point... and I didn't have anyone to talk to about this sort of situation. 

The hard thing was, Taehyung was a celebrity,  and if I mention a topic as harsh as this one... the gossip can spread like a disease, and not just friends and family will know about it... the whole world would even know about it.

I felt hopeless... and very much alone. 

Taehyung later came to bed that night, and held me close.

Even though I didn't want it... I couldn't do anything about it but let him, because I knew that one day... we wouldn't even be able to cross each other's paths anymore.
