"Why did you left me earlier?" He asked when he noticed that I fell silent.

I looked up to him and smiled bitterly, even though I know that he couldn't see me.

"I told you earlier, I feel so selfish."

I saw him shook his head as he tightened his grip on me. It was as if he was securing me. And it's killing me softly inside.

I looked at his hand and saw that he also has the same ring as mine. I played with it while listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

"Then be selfish. You need that." I smirked. "What about the people who might get hurt because of me?"

I was still looking at him so he looked down on me and answered, "I don't mind getting hurt as long as I make you smile."

There. My heart feels like it would escape in its own cage. It was beating a hundred times more faster that it's normal pace. I couldn't do anything but to smile widely.

"You sounded like you love me too." I laughed.

There's no way that he'd love me back. In just a short period of time? Impossible.

But what if he really does? My inner self thought.

But no. Don't put your hopes up. Men are still men. Don't get too lured into his words. You'll just end up getting hurt.

"I'm just being a loving husband." He replied then enveloped me in his arms as he closed his eyes.

"Hugging you is so nice." A tear suddenly rolled down on my cheek.

What now? Am I crying because I'm too happy? Or is this because I know that this wouldn't last long?

"Wife?" I felt myself blush.

"Hmm?"

"Don't think too much about other people. You've been selfless your whole life, it's normal to be selfish sometimes."

I wanted to answer but I felt sleepy when he caressed my hair. God, don't let this end, please!

"2 months." I said. He seemed confused because he even raised his upper body to look at me.

"What 2 months?"

"I'll make the most of it in two months," I paused, trying to stop myself from tearing up again. "And then I'll set you free."

I woke up by the sun rays hitting my face. I felt my head throbbed in pain. Fuck these hangovers.

When I recovered, I looked up at Jimin who was still asleep, his head was resting on mine.

We were all cuddled up which made me smile all of the sudden.

"I love you." I whispered then stood up.

As much as I want to stay there and cuddle with him, I still want to set my limits. Getting too attached will kill me and I know that it will do me no good.
