13: Divorce?

"Hyebin ahh!" Jimin crouched down with his hand stretched out and she shrieked out of excitement

"Jiminie Oppa!!" She ran towards him, leaving her teacher behind and Jimin lifter her up in the air. The little girl laughed bubbly

"Yah yah your hand is still injured" Haemi came out of the car and Hyebin widen her eyes in shock

"Unnie! You came too!" She laughed. Jimin puts her down and hold her hand, walking towards his wife then took Hyebin's bag from her

"Jiminie Oppa! Can we go have ice cream?" Hyebin asked when she saw Jimin puts her bag at the backseat. She puts both of her hand at her back and start swinging her body from left to right cutely

"Awh.. But we have to go shopping first.." Jimin crouched down then pats her hair

"Shopping? Why?"

"Tonight, I have a party with my workers for my successful project. Both of you and your sister will come too" He said and the little girl pouted

"What about ice cream?"

"We will get some if we still have time" He said after thinking for quite a while and let the girls get in the car. He went in and locked the door after making sure everyone is in their seat and was about to press on the gas until Haemi stopped her

"Jimin ah.." She said in a panicked tone and Jimin looks at her worriedly

"What's wrong?"

"This seatbelt.." She said. trying to pull the belt to lock it but it was stuck.

"Here let me see" Jimin took off his seatbelt and leaned to the girl. He pulled the belt and somehow it was stuck

"Eh? Wait a sec" He leaned closer and Haemi shut her eyes tight from how close he was. He was breathing on her neck and that made her hold her breath.

"Jimin you're too close" She muttered and the boy smirked looking how flustered she was. He pulled the belt gently and finally it worked

"Done" The boy smiled and buckled up his seatbelt. Hyebin was trying not to squeal at the backseat

"Oh my oh my oh my oh my I just saw the scene in the drama happened right in front of my eyes! I better tell this to Yeonju Unnie" She chirped and her sister gave her a glare

"Its different in the drama Hyebin.. In the drama, the male character will do it voluntarily but here, the seatbelt is stuck" She said and Jimin just chuckled

"You want me to do it voluntarily next time?" He asked and the girl immediately shook her head

"No than-"

"Yes please!" Hyebin chirped from behind. " Make sure to give me a signal first Jiminie Oppa.. I want to record this. Haemi Unnie sucks if she is with boys. It is fun to see her get flustered like that" Hyebin laughed and Jimin did the same

"Okay" The boy winked and his wife groaned

"Can you two shut up and drive to the mall now?! We wont get ice cream if you two don't stop chatting right now" Haemi said with her face as red as a tomato and Jimin just shook his head before hitting the road

*

"Nice we take that one" Jimin snaps his finger and she stood there with a confused face on. She ran to him smacks his arm

"Ow! What was that for?!"

"This cost an arm and a leg! Its too expensive and you are so not going to spend your money on me just like that" She whispered. Hyebin was in her own world eating ice cream after choosing her dress

"Haemi. I dont mind spending my money on you and your sister. You're my wife after all and what's wrong with that? If I was with Miyoung, she will choose a more expensive one. So this is nothing for me. Besides that, I got my eyes on this dress for quite a while now and you look perfect in it. how about instead of whining about it is so expensive and all, you be thankful cause I bought it for you" He lectured and Haemi was sure her ears almost bled

"But still... You should give this to your real wife later-"

"What? Are you my fake wife?"

"No that's not what I meant.. You should give this to your real wife later.. I cant accept this. I am just your temporary wife. We will divorce soon" She said and Jimin raked his hair frustratedly. His face that had a sweet smile on changed into a frown. He had mixed feeling all over his mind

"Wait" He said to the dresser and Hyebin. He then dragged Haemi to a fitting room. He shuts the door behind him and Haemi looks at him with an eyebrow raised. Her hands were crossed

"What?" She asked and Jimin puts his finger on her lips

"Please.. Never mention about divorce" He muttered and looks at everywhere except her eyes before raking his hair again. She slaps his hand away from her lips and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion

"What do you mean Jimin? I don't understand-"

"Just.." He sighed before looks at her face "I-"

"Jimin. After all of this end, I promised to divorce you. I cant take my words back. I am not that kind of person. Why did I promised? Because I am just a burden in your life. I dont want to continue to burden you when I finally free from my father's abuse. So please.."

"But what if you are not a burden?" He asked and she pressed her lips into a thin line

"My mom wont agree. I mean, she do like seeing her daughter marry with her friends' son but she wont let the marriage continue on without we loving each other Jimin"

"But-"

"A marriage wont work without love, Jimin" She cuts him off and he just went quiet

"Fine. We will talk about this later. But just use this dress" He said and the girl nodded in defeat

"Since you will not be mine anymore soon" He mumbled loud enough for only him to hear and exited the fitting room with mixed feelings. His mom's word this morning kept on playing on his head

"Son, The date is settled. Its three weeks from now. Be kind to her while you still have time. She may divorce you whenever she wants after that"
