( later that day )
Yumi's POV:
I carefully make my way to the front of my apartment's door.
Well I would be lying if I said I wasn't just stumbling up the stairs that were leading up here.
I curse Melody and the bottomless mimosas she kept buying.
My head is going to regret this tomorrow morning,but for now I'll worry about if my limp legs can carry me inside the house quietly.
I saw Jeonmin's car parked outside so I'm doomed to meet up with him in the house eventually.
I'm basically just trying to damage control the situation at the moment.
I smoothly shove my hand under our outdoor house rug that says "home sweet home".
Those workers at Home Depot lied to us saying getting a cute rug would "bring good vibes to the house" if anything it was the first thing we fought about and since then we haven't stopped fighting.
Aha at last,I pull out a spare key we hid under the rug which was only for emergencies.
He shouldn't freak out just because I stood out for too long right?
Of course he did,because the second I twist the key into the lock.
The door is pulled open from the inside by a furious Jeonmin who silently urges me to the living room.
When I don't comply simply because I'm stubborn by nature,he pulls me inside and closes the door.
"Where have you been?" He asks me the second I get in.
I kick off my heels and groan when my feet feel sore from the death contraptions I decided to wear today in the first place.
"So you not going to answer me?" He asks me again and grabs my wrist with a slight force.
I look up at him warningly and his grip loosens slightly but never the less his hand is still gripping my wrist.
"It's none of your business just like when I ask you about who calls us at 2am" I say glaring at him.
He lets go and sits down across from me.
"You better not make this a habit Yumi,especially since we have a wedding to plan-"
"Wedding? Who said a wedding?! And who are you MY FATHER?" I say and he gets closer to me.
I feel tense and he notices so he backs off.
Despite our loud arguments he's never actually physically hurt me which I appreciated.
Due to the fact,I would've been out the door the second he would try it.
"I'm sorry princess I had this idea in mind that you would possibly want to marry me one day you don't agree?" He asks me and I shake my head.
I watch his reaction which isn't good at all.
He gets up and walks over to the kitchen.
The first thing he always does in our fights,pulls out liquor to drown himself in.
Sure enough,his favorite bottle of Soju is pulled out of our pantry which I had hidden to no prevail.
He waltzes back over with now two shot glosses instead of just one.
"Drink darling you'll be able to think clearer" he says as he pours me some.
"Actually no." I say and he raises a eyebrow at me.
"I drank enough today Jeonmin,I'm sure you and your working buddies did too so you should sto-"
He takes his shot gloss and downs the liquor in seconds.
He sighs loudly
"why don't you love me Yumi,I don't make you happy enough? Do I not take you traveling enough? What else could you want?" He asks me.
"I want to know why you're so distant,why you're tired all the time,why you barely spend time with me and why can't you admit our fights grow more toxic everyday. It's bad Jeonmin" I say crossing my arms across my chest.
"Whatever you think is wrong,you're wrong about okay? I'm so tired from all the work I do at my job princess you do know that right?" He says and I refuse to look at him.
"Be like that." He says and gets up.
He walks over to our room.
He grabs pillows and blankets & lays down on the couch.
"I'll sleep on the couch tonight,I understand that we're both angry so I'll be a gentleman and give you OUR bed" he says sarcastically and I roll my eyes
"You're such a scholar" I say and flip him off.
He laughs and slurs as the liquor takes effect.
Mines is starting to wear off as my headache starts to form.
I go into my dresser and pull out a Advil pill.
I drink some water and swallow the pill.
I take a quick shower to freshen myself up and throw myself into the sheets.
My sleep is seemingly going well until again I hear him mumbling so I sneak over to the living room to see him on his phone again.
So I eavesdrop quietly without him knowing.
"I wanna book a hotel for two in Las Vegas is that okay?" I hear him say and I blush hearing it.
Awh he's trying to make it up to me.
"Saturday night please" he adds and I smile.
"Okay thank you goodbye" he says and hangs up.
I quietly tip toe my way back to our room when something pulls me back to the living room.
I glance over to see he's gone to the living room bathroom to shower up.
I see his iPhone is on the couch unattended.
Thanking advantage of the situation I rush over and grab his phone.
When I find remotely nothing in his phone.
I shrug and go to place it back down when I start seeing multiple text messages appearing under the contact name "B." so naturally I read the messages.
My heart shatters when I discover it's another woman sending naked photos of herself to Jeonmin and he texts her often apparently judging by all texts he sent her privately.
I see he sent her a text
"Las Vegas on Saturday wear your birthday suit ;)"
Wait the hotel reservation wasn't for me and HIM!?
I throw the phone out of impulse across the room and it hits the wall alerting Jeonmin of some presence in the living room.
The shower water stops so I attempt to run back to the room.
However I'm sadly caught by Jeonmin,who just discovered I went through his phone and is furious that I invaded his privacy.
"How dare you not trust me?" He says loudly.
"Well looks like I had every right to! WHO IS SHE?" I ask him.
"No one." He says and I walk over to him.
"I said WHO IS SHE? Who the fuck is she?" I ask him.
"She's a fucking client okay? she wanted Tyler to help her and her husband's business blossom so she needed good marketing and I was her...helper" he says
"A SEX HELPER YOU MEAN" I say loudly and he attempts to hold me.
"Princess-"
"Shut the fuck up Jeonmin,how long has this been going on? Have I been blind to this the whole time" I ask him.
He stays quiet.
"You fucking strung me along thinking you were this faithful man who loved me but YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A ASSHOLE WHO IS ONLY AFTER ANY WOMAN WHO THROWS HERSELF AT YOU" I say loudly refusing to tear up nor cry in front of him.
Even though it's taking every ounce of my body not to,it works for now.
"You never cared for me Yumi admit it,have you ever been sexually attracted to me?" He asks me and I gasp.
"Jeonmin, Sex is the reason I stood here. not your personality" I say and he sighs.
"So forget all about Lyla and I'll be yours-"
"You know what? I need to get away from you,your family everyone in general!" I say as I walk back to our room.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asks me as I pack my bags quickly.
"I'm leaving to somewhere enjoy your lust filled trip to Las Vegas" I say and throw the water I was previously drinking in his face.
"Real classy Yumi,like really classy" he says as I walk to the front door with my luggage now fully packed and I'm in my oversized tee shirt and Nike's basketball pants.
"You do know I'll change all the locks" he says.
"Go ahead I have nothing to come back here for" I say smirking at him and opening the front door.
I step out and slam the door behind me.
As I walk down the stairs,tears erupt from my eyes but not sad ones.
It's joyful ones.
My phone buzzes and it's my boss calling.
"Hello?" I say
"Yumi! We have a business trip coming for the whole team to NYC wanna join us?" My boss Julia says enthusiastically.
"Actually I would love to" I say
"I'm actually going to be there today,I'm going to book a flight right as we speak" I say smiling
"That's my girl" my boss says and I giggle.
Yup,that's me alright...
