Previous chapter †Next chapter
Within a short period of time, three days had passed. You asked your mother in advance if she would be able to take care of Sumire for a few weeks, after which she would fly with him to Hawaii on the day of the wedding. "I want you to be good to your grandmother, okay?" Scratching his head, you bent down to give him a hug. When you embraced him tightly and kissed his forehead, you couldn't help but frown. Although your son was going with your mother, you were still concerned that something would go wrong. "Listen to your grandmother and do not cause any problems for her." Satoru kissed his forehead and smiled before going over to you.
You had a long conversation, agreeing that a divorce was in your best interest despite your efforts to salvage your relationship. After discussing the cheating for hours, you finally agreed not to bring it up until the divorce papers have been finalized. It also meant that you had to forcefully act normal around your family members and everyone else, but once you were alone, you would stop acting normal. As a result of respecting one another's boundaries, you requested that Satoru no longer sleep in the same bed as you, see you change, or kiss you.
It was difficult to behave normally with your husband next to your mother after he cheated on you. The key was to maintain a cordial demeanor while preventing your emotions from showing. You kept your conversations with him brief and focused on neutral topics. Also, you frequently excused yourself from the room when your emotions became out of control.
Despite the fact that this was a difficult decision, you both knew it was the right one for each other. You recalled yesterday that you no longer had any feelings for each other after Satoru asked you and your sister if his mistress could attend the wedding. Your sister was talking about how she needed one more person but you couldn't come up with anyone. Although you had already contacted Shoko and Utahime, you still lacked one person. In disbelief of what he had done, you stormed off, anger coursing through your veins. Satoru had no effect on you after that discussion. As a result, you had completely forfeited your chance to be Satoru's love of his life again. At that point you didn't care if she came or not you just wanted to get this over with.
"Bye mom!" You kissed her on the cheek and waved goodbye to Sumire as he perked up at the window, seeing his white hairs twirling in the wind. You were silent throughout the entire ride to the airport, so silent that you were occasionally able to hear each other breathe. Having nothing to do, you grabbed your phone and clicked on the message you just received.
Toji Zen'in; Did you know that I was invited to be one of your sister's groomsmen? I also hope you are doing well.
As you read his text, you couldn't help but smile, and biting your lip, you felt a sense of comfort. Satoru kept his eyes glued to the road, not even glancing at your phone to see who you were texting or checking on your status.
Y/n; Thats great! I am looking forward to seeing you there :) Also, I am doing well at the moment.
When Toji replied, you purposely turned on the ringer to see if Satoru would be curious enough to see who you were speaking with. To your demise he actually was. In a quick glance at your phone, you could see him bite his tongue in an attempt to not speak. After all who cares if your texting another man it's not like he didn't do anything worse. Occasionally you would let out a small laugh in response to Toji's response. Satoru gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Observing him, you could see that his eyebrows were furrowed and that he had his jaw tightened up.
Toji Zenâin; I'm also bringing Megumi with me so we can finally have that "playdate" you wanted.
A second giggle escaped your lips, but despite the fact that Gojos veins were almost bursting at the seams, you were unable to stop yourself from smiling. "Stop doing that." You looked up at him, puzzled, and crossed your arms, as you stared at him in a state of confusion.
"Do what?" Counting the seconds until he responded, you licked your lips in preparation for what was to come. You couldn't help but scoff at his face when he acted like this. Why couldn't he abandon your feelings and go talk to his mistress? "Stop- you know what, nevermind." As he saw his breathing getting heavier and his composure slipping, you couldn't help but smile. Seeing you texting another man broke the heart of Gojo a bit. He didn't even understand why he was acting in such a way or why he was acting that way. As hard as he tried, he tried to come across as if he did not care, but at the same time, he did care.
"When we arrive don't expect me to act nice to her. In fact, you shouldn't even expect me to speak to her at all, since I won't." Scroozing, you rolled your eyes and stuck out your lips in despair. As for the person Satoru brought along on this stupid fucking trip, you didn't give a damn about who he brought with him, but who was he to think you would even glance at the person who cheated on you with Satoru? "She has a name y'know." You laughed at his response.
"I don't care." As you gazed at him, he flickered his angry eyes at you, obviously breaking eye contact first with you when he caught your gaze. "As a matter of fact, her name is Jiyuu, just in case you need it." When you turned back to look at him, your eyes widened and you stared at him for a moment before deciding to turn away from him.
Emerging from the car, you couldn't help but notice that your friends were waiting for you two. "Shoko! Utahime!" you shouted, sprinting toward them and hugging them in embrace. You couldn't help but smile back at them when you saw their happy smiles.
He smiled. "Hmm, of course the two lovers are a little late." He walked behind you, hugging you tight and sticking his tongue out at Shoko as he walked past. As you let out a small giggle, you slapped his hand, giving him a slight grin. "Oh no, you know how kids are. I had to drop Sumire off at my mom's house and he was crying so I couldn't leave him like that." Utahime smiled as she grabbed Shoko by the arm and gently rested her head on her shoulders.
"Because we donât have any children apart from you, we are unfamiliar with the nature of children." With a small laugh, you slapped Suguru on the back. Satoru couldn't help but stare as you laughed with your old highschool buddies. As soon as you saw Utahime and Shoko, he noticed that your mood had completely changed. Your eyes shone when they hugged you, and your lips tightened when you smiled at them.
"Where is Mei Mei?" As you tilted your head slightly, you observed some random person's hands blocking your view. Asserting her identity, you smiled. "Boo." As you turned around, you gave her a big hug. In a sense, Mei Mei was like an older sister to you.
As you grasped his hand, you tightened your grip on it.
Smiling, you placed your head on his shoulder. "Wait, we're missing Jiyuu," Your sister called out as she searched for the specific person you could not stand. As a taxi pulled up and she came out, you couldn't help but gasp. Her eyes lit up when Satoru saw her, and his eyes flickered to her before he looked down and realized he had made a serious error. Seeing your mood quickly change, he realized that he had made a mistake in bringing her along. As a result, you felt heavy and your emotions were scattered all over the place. Taking a deep breath, you fake smiled in front of Satoru before moving towards Shoko who was waiting patiently inside. "I'll let you two talk." you said.
"Hey!" Your heart ached as you heard her voice
Satoru remained silent as he waited for her to accompany him inside. Utahime and Shoko were the only two people who knew that there were three people involved in this marriage. Despite telling Shoko the day you discovered Gojo had cheated on you, Utahime was staying over that night and overheard everything that happened. She promised you not to tell anyone about Satoru's affair. Being the good friend she is she made sure to keep that promise.
"Are you all right?" She whispered, seeing your lips pursed, already sensing your distress. A pure act of betrayal. After reaching the airport and checking in, you were horrified to discover that you would have to sit next to Satoru during the entire flight. Immediately, Utahime and Shoko realized what was happening, looking at you with desperation. "I am sorry Satoru, but she will not be able to sit with you. I am taking your wife with me. I was wondering if you would mind swapping with her, Mei Mei?" You could feel Mei's disgust in her eyes and sighed softly.
"In that case, I will do it. You will not regret trading with me, Y/n. I know I won't regret it." When she realized that she would finally be able to sit with her lover, Jiyuu's mood had perked up. Shoko grabbed her hand as Utahimes looked on. "Wait a minute-" Her eyes widened as she realized Jiyuu would be sitting all by herself with Satoru."Okay thank you." You didn't even make eye contact with her. In your eyes, Satoru could see the betrayal flowing from your heart. "Let's go, we don't want to be late."
As you entered the airplane, you noticed a familiar face. "Toji?" After everything you had experienced, you were immediately perked up upon seeing the only male you were able to stand. Upon seeing you, he turned his head in your direction. When you saw his gentle smile, you felt a strange sensation in your heart. "Hey, where you sitting?" Pointing to where you were going to sit he couldn't help but put his hand on your shoulder. "Guess we're airplane buddies." Eyes stared at the back of your head as you spoke. Not caring if it was Jiyuu or Satoru you continued to walk to your seat. Feeling pure relief that you weren't going to sit with Satoru. Your eyes lit up upon seeing your favorite person for the first time. While carrying megumi, Toji woke him up so that he could say hello to you.
"How are you gumi?" In spite of your best efforts, you couldn't help but plant a small kiss on the child's head as you scrunched up your nose. With a gentle smile on your face, you ruffled his hair while stroking his head. The moment you finally sat down, you couldn't help but notice the laughter erupting behind you, as you took a quick glance behind you, you spotted your sister, Gojo, and Jiyuu laughing together. All of them seemed to be getting along well with each other. When you took a deep breath you turned to look at Toji, looking at his look of apologetic you knew exactly what he meant.
With Megumi sitting in the middle of you and Toji, talking about his fear of airplanes, you couldn't help but hold his tiny hand and interlock your fingers together. In preparation for takeoff, Megumi closed her small eyes. "Im scared." As Toji ruffled his hair, he comforted him, "Don't worry about it, okay? I'm here with you, as well as Y/N."
The plane took off before you knew it, with Megumi wiping away a couple of tears in the process. Carefully squeezing his cheek, you propped him up in your lap and caressed him gently. If you get into trouble, who cares? Your heart broke when you saw a child in distress, especially one so young as Sumire. His tiny hands encircled the waist of your body as Megumi cradled your stomach. Each time you caressed his hair, you pecked him on the top of his head with a small kiss. You were even more heartbroken after hearing Megumi call you mommy. "Mommy are we done yet?" Your eyes welled up with tears.
âYou should go to sleep now, gumi." Hugging him closer you asked Toji to pass you a small blanket you had brought for yourself. Having gotten up, Toji opened the airplane compartment and handed you the beautiful blue blanket with cats on it. "Thank you." you replied, smiling back as you leaned your head against Tojis shoulder, slowly drifting off to sleep.
The sight of you and Toji broke Satoru's heart. "And then that happened, can you believe it Toru?" He turned his head towards Jiyuu and sighed. The nickname Toru was something you both came up with during your high school years. Continuing to watch you play with Megumi, he nodded his head. It warmed his heart to see you happy and not unhappy, as opposed to when you were with him. "Toru?" He totally missed Jiyuu's presence, since he was too busy staring at you while you were talking to Toji.
"Yes?" Looking at Jiyuu she was filled with disappointment, realizing he didn't even give her a second glance. Secretly, they were holding hands together since thanks to an unknown person next to Jiyuu they didn't have to worry about getting caught. She rubbed her eyes with her spare hand before placing her head on his shoulder. He couldn't help but stare at her. Watching how her eyes twitched when she got cold. Exactly as they used to when he slept over at your house. A smile spread across Satoru's face as he snuggled deeper.
"Yes gumi, go sleep honey." Noting the sparkle in your eyes while watching megumi cuddle closer to you, he could not help but scoff. As if he cared.
He had his so-called love of his life sitting beside him, so why would he care that you exchanged your seat just to not sit next to him. Upon seeing you so close to him, he began to doubt your credibility. His first thought was, "Did she have an affair with him?"." No, of course not, it was inevitable that anyone would fall in love with your ridiculous humor.
Though he tried to reassure himself that he felt nothing towards you, deep down he knew that he still loved you. Seeing you fall so quickly asleep with Megumi in your arms he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his chest. When he arrived home some nights, he would see you and Sumire snuggled on the couch with the exact same blanket, or when Sumire would get up super early to jump on top of you and her during The Weeknd, and after that she would cuddle with him, bragging about Sumire being a better cuddler than him because Sumire allowed her to big spoon him.
But now that meant absolutely nothing to him, he had fell out of love so long ago. He considered meeting Jiyuu to be a blessing. Seeing her for the first time at that stupid party you were supposed to accompany him to. He initially thought it would be a one-night stand, but after seeing her multiple times, he fell in love with her. He still remembers the small quickie they had in the restroom before heading out acting like nothing happened. He knew things were going to end soon when he started missing important stuff just to meet up with his mistress at your beach house. The two of them drove three hours to your house just to spend the entire week together. During that week, he realized that he was in love with her. Seeing her run towards the beach he knew he felt it with her.
On that day, he told her everything, including that he was married and had a three-year-old child. At first Jiyuu felt betrayed telling Gojo to screw himself. To keep her, Satoru lied to her face and said that you had fallen out of love and were seeing someone else. He had told Jiyuu that things were officially done with you two.
That was a year ago.
Before you learned about his affair with Jiyuu, he had been seeing her for a full year and a half. He tried to end it with you multiple times but he couldn't find the strength to do it. He knew he couldn't do it when he saw your sleeping figure. Satoru didn't anticipate you finding out that weekend. He couldn't resist the urge to go see her after not seeing her for almost 3 weeks. The other women.
His eyes never left your sight. "Toru.." She tilted her head as she tried to catch his blank stare. Satoru snapped out of his thoughts, breathing in as he looked at his lovers face. "I'm cold," he sighed, taking off his sweater and giving it to Jiyuu, smiling she gave him a small peck on the lips before anyone noticed. Resting his head on top of hers he felt relieved.
After being jolted awake by the sudden turbulence, you sat up suddenly. You were struggling to breathe and staggered. Remembering that Megumi was asleep soundly, you cuddled closer to him. His eyes were glued shut seeing his long eyelashes you could tell he got it from his mother and not Toji. In your peripheral vision, you could see Toji sleeping soundly, he had moved to the center seat and placed his arm around your waist. A random person on the plane would've assumed that you two had a beautiful son and that you were a happy couple. Suddenly, your curiosity got the best of you and you glanced behind you. You can feel your heart breaking as soon as you see the scenery. They both fell asleep after Gojo gave Jiyuu his sweater. Observing how his eyebrow twitched and how his hair was messy, you could see Satoru breathe in and out.
Looking back forward you let a shaky and small whisper, 'at least he's happy.'
âApproximately 30 minutes from our destination, we will hand out snacks soon." The speaker woke up Megumi and Toji, both looking at you.
"Here, I'll take him from you." Grasping megumi Toji, he sat him down on his lap. In a spectacular display of strength, he wrapped his muscular arms around the sleepy 3 year old who had been complaining of hunger. "Thanks." Unbuckling the seat, you were relieved to see the bathroom was empty. You let go of Tojis' grip on your waist as you stood up. "If the lady comes, can she get me a sandwich?" You asked. With a nod, he agreed to buy you lunch.
Upon getting up, most passengers appeared to be fast asleep. While using the plane's bathroom, you noticed that the first class restroom was much different from the regular one. Thanks to your sister's husband, all of your first class tickets were purchased. A sudden feeling of nauseous hit you as you rubbed your stomach. When was the last time you ate? Before you knew it you threw up. Walking to the sink you washed your mouth grabbing the small mouth wash in the counter you made sure to wash your mouth 10x.
The nausea must've gotten you pretty bad. Exiting the restroom you were met with a familiar face. "Oh sorry," passing by her she grabbed your shoulder. Jiyuu had beautiful brown long hair. Her hair was tied up in a clip and her makeup was smudged a bit. "Please don't touch me." Refusing to make eye contact with her she scoffed . What the hell? Why was she so disturbed that you didn't let her touch you.
Rolling your eyes you sat down next to Toji, handing you the sandwhich you took a big bite. "Here have some." Giving a bite to the small child he bite it chewing with a big smile. You knew it must be hard for Megumi to grow up without a mother. He reminded you so much of Sumire you couldn't help but think maybe you could be a sort of mother figure towards megumi. "Don't chew with your mouth open." Grabbing a napkin Toji cleaned Megumis cheek. He had mayonnaise plastered all over his face. His cute green eyes looked up to you, giggling you ruffled his hair.
"No! I want mama!" crying megumi reached towards you. His small chubby hands trying to grasp your hair. He started whining smacking his dad for not letting him go with you. "C'mere its only 30 min until we land" Megumi started making a ruckus, wanting to be in your grasp and not Tojis he started kicking his legs hitting Toji. "Fine, you want Y/n? Don't be complaining when I don't carry you later." Rolling his eyes he handed Megumi to you. Seeing his pink tinted cheeks and watery eyes you smiled pinching his cheeks.
Before you knew it the plane was already landing, Megumi fast asleep on your arms you asked Toji if he could take out your small purse. Despite Megumi looking small he was quite heavy. Not minding his weight you told Toji you would carry him until you exited the airport. Standing up you rejusted megumi, his small arms wrapping around your neck. Burying his face on your neck you couldn't help but smile at him. Toji was admiring the scenery wondering if Megumi would be like this if his wife was still alive. Megumi hadn't been this clingy with anyone, always wanting to be with dad and no one else but I guess you must've won the little man's heart because he didn't let go at all.
"So cute!" Utahime smiled at you, grabbing Shoko to see the sleeping child in your arms. Satoru came behind you helping you with your luggage you quickly told him that you didn't need his help. "It's okay, Tojiâs helping me." Satoru licked his teeth shaking his head he walked away, stuffing his hands in his pants. You could see his tall figure walk towards Suguru and Jiyuu, wrapping his long arm on Suguru shoulder.
"You need help with him?" Toji tilted his head pointing on the small child who was quietly snoring. Shaking your head no Toji placed his muscular arm on your waist helping you down the plane. Seeing megumi this clingy you already started missing your own son. Hoping everything was okay back at your moms house. "We only have 3 cars so please try your best to like where im assigning you all.â Your sister began naming who was going with who.
"Okay! Jiyuu your with me and my husband, Shoko and Utahime as well." Her eyes were filled with disappointment hoping she could sit with her lover. Unfortunately for her it wasn't going to work. "Toji, Y/N, and Satoru you're going with my husband sister and you can take megumi with you." The rest was a blur for you. Sitting with Satoru was already painful for you. At least you could sit with Toji and Megumi.Â
Entering the car you let Toji in first, "Here take Megumi, and careful with his head okay?" Laughing you could hear Tojis deep voice his muscular chest moving. "It's not my first time sitting down in the car with my kid.â Sticking your tongue out you rolled your eyes. Sitting down next to you was Satoru. Basically you were stuck in the middle with Toji and Satoru. Grabbing the small child out of Tojis grasp you put him to sit on your lap. Playing with him he couldn't help but notice the white haired man staring at you.
"Hi, im Megumi," Smiling the little child tiled his head. Satoru stared at the smile child seeing how Megumi admired your face.
"Im Satoru Gojo, your "mommy's" husband." Looking at him when he called you mommy you scoot closer to Toji. What the fuck?
"No my daddy is with mommy." Looking at Satoru he furrowed his eyebrows, randomly hugging you. You could see that Gojo had clenched his jaw when the small toddler had said that. Scoffing gojo put his hand on megumi ruffling his tiny black hair. "No." Megumi shook his head reaching towards his dad. Toji couldn't help but laugh at the embarrassing scene going on.
Pursing your lips, you tried your best not to laugh at the white-haired man in front of you. You could tell Megumi didn't like Gojo already. When Toji viewed how Gojo was getting irritated with the small child, he smiled as he thought about his small idea. Taking hold of your hand and interlocking the fingers of his hand with yours, Toji grabbed it. âGuess your my wife now, huh?â Looking at her with a smirk on his face, Toji leaned closer to you, so close that your face turned red. In an effort to clear your head, you pursed your lips in an effort to keep your thoughts straight. The tension in Gojo's veins was so intense that he could feel it bursting. Having clenched his fist, Satoru was so close to hitting the muscular man who was clearly flirting with you in order to get an edge over him that he was on the verge of hitting him. With his face even closer to yours, your faces were inches away from one another, he looked down at your lips, giving you a small wink as he looked at you. "I'm sorry you had something,â With a smile on his face he turned back to the small child in his arms and hugged him again.
Leaving you doumbfounded you glanced at Satoru to see what his reaction was like. Satoru's gaze was intense as he watched Toji toy with you you. His eyes seemed to be burning with a mixture of anger and jealousy as the man leaned in to whisper something in your ear. Satoru's fists clenched as he watched the man's hand brush against your arm. He seemed to be struggling to keep his composure as he saw you smile back at the man.
âThanks,â looking away you tried your best to hide your flushed face. Satoru knew that Toji was doing this as punishment towards you. âWeâre here.â As you stepped out of the car to see the luxurious Hotel, you couldnât help but gasp in amazement. It was absolutely huge, not knowing how many rooms it had you were curious. Seeing your sister walk out of her Tesla she waved at you. âHey! Watchu think?â This was one of the most beautiful things you have ever seen in your life.
âSince it's getting pretty late, I think it will be a good idea if we go rest and the next day we can go to the beach," Holding her fiancĂ©'s hand, she smiled waving goodbye to everyone before handing them the key to their hotel room. The truth is that you didn't want to sleep with Satoru at all. Since he had his mistress room, you prayed that he would stay there all night or maybe even the whole week if he had one. Thank god, he actually answered your prayers. There was a sigh of relief as everyone made their way to their rooms. Seeing Satoru follow Jiyuu, one couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as well. Entering the hotel room it was huge. It was so spacious that it even had a balcony, and although there was only one bed in it, you were grateful that you had it all to yourself. As you were already undressing yourself, you couldn't help but let your thoughts wander. Thinking about how Satoru actually chose to go with Jiyuu and not stay with you. Although you knew it was over, you could not accept the fact that the man you once loved was gone. After undressing yourself, you put on some shorts and a large sweater. Hearing someone knock at your door as you were about to lie on the bed, you quickly fled to the door. As you opened it slightly, you were relieved to see a familiar face inside.
"Hey, this little guy wants to sleep with you.." Rubbing his neck, Toji couldn't help but grin, seeing your face light up made him happy. Megumi was already reaching towards you, his chubby hands trying to grasp you. Nodding, you allowed Toji into the hotel room. Not knowing where he was going to stay, he decided to sleep on the couch while you shared a bed with Megumi.
Upon closing the door, Toji couldn't help but lick his lips. He had already figured out someone was watching him, but seeing him walk into your hotel room made him smirk a little. As a result, he knew the white haired man would become absolutely feral if Toji answered the hotel room rather than you

And he was happy. But never the happiest.
Naomi couldnât count how many calls she had made but the wetness in her cheeks is proof of how frustrated she already is. âPlease, pick up.â She bit the inner side of her cheeks, tapping her feet on the tiled floor. Naomi regrets what she did. She regretted that she still proceeded despite knowing how wrong it was.
She warned herself not to be greedy at the beginning of their relationship. She remembered telling him theyâd take it step by step, not rushing anything because they were determined to make it work. Now that sheâs thinking about it, maybe heâs only determined because he wanted to forget about you so badly.
âMom, please. He threw me out.â Naomi spoke on the phone, tapping her feet as she stood in the middle of her room with her things around her. She took all the things necessary and left. Satoru would probably put everything she left in the trash but thatâs the least of her concern right now. She lost everything she had with Satoru and itâs all because of her stupidity.
âWhat did you expect? You sexually assaulted my son and you want me to help you?â The woman hissed at her. Naomi was naive; thinking that sheâll have her back just because she wanted her for Satoru. âIf anything I could even get you arrestedââ She began but Naomi was quick to defend herself.
âYouâre part of this. Didnât you basically tell me to use a child to keep your son?!â Tears of anger pooled in her eyes as her hands shook in fear, fury, and heartbreak. Naomi remembered when Satoruâs mom would free her schedule so she could spend time with him and Yui. She would suggest activities and let Naomi tag along and thatâs how they started to fall for each other.
Or rather, thatâs how she started to fall for him while he just wanted an escape.
âBut I never told you to do that to my son! Naomi, do you really think someone would side with you on this?â Every corner of Naomiâs room felt like they were closing in on her, ready to squeeze her till she was nothing but dust. Of course, no one would be with her. No matter what Satoruâs mother told her, she still chose to follow it so the blameâs on her.
âFor someone who finished school with flying colors, your mind is dull.â She chuckled, letting Naomi hear all she truly is. âYou got a pretty face, you know? Thatâs another reason why you caught Satoruâs eyes easily.â At that point, Naomi didnât know if it was still a compliment. Sheâs pretty and kind, and smart and perfect for him, like she said. But why canât she have all of him?
âBut Iâm afraid that pretty face would be useless now. If I were you Iâd go start over alone somewhere far.â She clicked her tongue, cutting Naomiâs thoughts off every time she tried to voice them out. âLike, imagine graduating only to get jailed over some dumb, desperate shit? Naomi, you screwed up. And thatâs why you lost all chances with my son.â
Naomi shook her head, the warmness of her emotions dampened the smooth skin of her face. âNo, you made meâŠâ She breathed out, covering her mouth before running her fingers through her hair. âI didnât want to do thatâŠNo.â She bawled and bawled but the line only went more and more silent.
She fucked up and sheâs right. The shame and the loss of self-respect are not something she could live through in this city. She must go, she must leave. Like how they always did when she was a kid; fleeing the scene with her embarrassment of a family who canât live without humiliating them. They have no decent source of living so they gotta strive.
Now, sheâs doing all of it again, all while losing all of it. Again.
âSave yourself. I wonât let them know of your plan. After all, you were once of help to my child. Iâm truly sorry.â With that, the call ended; with Naomi sitting on the floor as she put a balled hand over her throbbing chest, and the thought of going away to start as someone new settled in the middle of her head. Naomi learned a lot from all the troubles she went through.
This time, she learned that you could have someone's body but their heart could still be somewhere else.
â-------------------------------------------------
âWhat is it?â Satoru heard through the phone speaker. Taking a deep breath, he shut his eyes, letting relief flood his veins and calm his shaking flesh. âWhen are you free?â There was a long pause before Satoruâs father replied, âYou know I can make time.â Clearing his throat, Satoru massaged his temples, thanking the heavens that his nightmares werenât real.
âLetâs meet later if thatâs alright.â He whispered, scared that his voice would break. Satoru knows that he is the only link between the relationship of his parents. Just like how his older brother wouldâve been the connection his father was hoping to keep his first, real love close. Until they got tired of it all; the matters brought by his mother. And him.
Just like how she drained Satoru out. And right now he just wanted to run away from her too.
âOf course, just send me the exact time.â Satoru nodded as if his father could see him, âAre you alright?â He asked after a few seconds as if sensing the trouble from his sonâs voice. âYeah, much better now, at least.â Satoru rubbed his eyes as he shook his head, eyeing the negative results of the vaginal swab test. âDad, Mom canât know.â
Heâs almost sure that the request would prompt questions from his father, knowing that heâs aware of how close he is to his Mom. But he was surprised when he simply agreed, murmuring an âOkay.â before letting his son end the call. Satoru pictured him on his office chair as he nodded away, brows furrowed with worry like he always is when it comes to family matters.
When Satoru was a child, his nanny would tell him that his father wasnât always so workaholic when his ex-wife was still there, co-parenting with him. After she ran away and left, his father started to immerse himself in work more. He knows that he tried with his mother since they were already there and married. But it was just never the same.
His father was happy with them. But he could never be the happiest again.
Leaning back on the chair, he put a hand over his eyes and let his frustrations stream down his cheeks. He let out a shaky sigh, grabbing the papers before looking at them in a brighter light. Itâs negative. Nothing happened. You woke him up just in time. He tapped on Naomiâs contact, quickly typing his last message before attaching a photo of the results.
âIâm mailing the rest of your things tomorrow.â It only took a minute for her to respond with an apology but Satoru doesnât care anymore to read it. He blocked the number as soon as he made sure that she received and read the message. He doesnât want to be anywhere near her.
He knows he is wrong for not telling her about his feelings as soon as he can. But that doesnât equal what she did to him and what she almost got them into. Satoru checked the clock before sending the time to his father, hoping to end all of this mess before the mess ended him.
His mother has been calling him nonstop, and he always had to pretend that he was not home during the previous days. He stayed in watching movies with his little girl, sending you videos and pictures every now and then. He slept in her room during those days, a desperate attempt to calm his brain down. His head hurts from overthinking.
Putting the papers back into the envelope, Satoru took it with him to his room. He made sure to put it in his bedside drawer, just in case some other shit comes up. If this happened before, heâd probably think that Naomi is not that kind of person. But after what she did to him, all of the trust and admiration she has for her went to waste.
Changing into something more comfortable, Satoru tried to take a quick nap. He doesnât want to look this tired when he meets his father. Heâd probably convince him to get a general checkup just to make sure that nothing was wrong. Satoru knows that if it werenât for him, his father wouldnât ever put up with his mom. Heâd probably spend his whole life searching for his ex-wife.
A few hours of nap felt like nothing because when Satoru woke up, he still felt tired. The only difference is his heartbeat doesnât sound like itâs trying to come out of his chest anymore unlike when he was waiting for the results. A little progress is still progress; just like how heâs trying to make it all up to you.
If Satoruâs being honest, heâd fall down to his knees and beg you to take him back if you asked him to do it. The only thing stopping him is his brain telling him how happy you are right now and how he wouldnât want to destroy that. He canât force himself to stop thinking about you but he can force himself to move on if itâs for you.
Satoru leaned his elbows on the kitchen counter, reading a text from his father saying that he was on his way. Another text was from you; it was a picture of Yui holding up a coloring book and a crayon. He was just with her earlier but he misses her already. He wondered if he could visit when he doesnât have other things to do even if itâs not his schedule yet.
Sending a response with a small smile on his face, Satoru heard the doorbell ring, signaling his fatherâs arrival. He peeked through the spaces of his window curtains to ensure that it was him before opening the door. Satoruâs still unsure of what heâll say but he hopes that his father can give him a better solution.
Satoru thought that if he ever cut ties with his mother, itâd be for you and Yuiâs safety. He didnât think that itâd be for him too. âDad,â He gave his father a hug as he stepped in, following his son as they walked to his house. âWhatâs going on?â He asked as soon as Satoru closed the door. They walked to the kitchen, settling on one of the barstools.
âItâs because of momâŠâ He began, placing a glass pitcher atop the counter.
â---------------------------------------
âSmile~ Weâll send this to Dada.â You cooed, pointing at the camera as you tried to take a picture of your daughter. At first, she didnât want to do it, wanting nothing but to play with her book and crayons but when she heard that her Dad wanted to know about it, she got real creative with the pose. âYou donât listen to Mama, anymore.â You pouted at her as you hit send.
She scrunched her nose, sticking out her tongue at you before picking on her colors. You still canât forget how dead Satoru looked when he dropped Yui off. You wondered what he talked about with his mother that caused him to be like that. Even with the soft tone of his voice, you could hear roughness that probably came from the lack of sleep.
If it concerns you, then you definitely have to know. His mother probably said something bad about you, but you doubt that itâs affecting Satoru by how he was talking and looking at you. He just looked so done with all of it, but even so, there was still a tender look in his eyes when they met yours.
You sighed while looking at your phone as you waited for a text from Toji. Heâs been so busy with work lately, youâre just glad that you already talked about your problems. You had a feeling that it wouldnât end well had it stayed unsaid for a couple more days. It wasnât completely back to normal, but at least, youâre both trying to make it better for each other.
âI would try,â He whispered to your ear as he hugged you from behind, âI canât promise not to think of herââ You turned around, looking up at him with a solemn look in your eyes, âIâm not asking you to not think of her, thatâd be selfish of me.â He nodded, kissing your forehead, âAlright, what I mean is, I wonât make any comparisons.â You hummed.
âI need you to stop worrying about Satoru and I.â You put your head on his chest, âI know itâs easier said than done, but I just want you to know that I am with you.â Your fingers traced figured on his skin, âIâm keeping that in mind.â He placed his cheek on top of your head, sighing deeply as he let go of you.
âIâm taking Megumi to my Momâs.â He pushed your hair back with his fingers, making your eyes flutter close as you felt his face get closer to yours and his breath ghosting on your lips. âIâll see you later.â He pecked your lips, âTake care, I love you.â He murmured as he gave you a long kiss, before turning to get their stuff.
One thing that you notice about Toji is that he never waits for you to say anything back. You donât want to take the words lightly, but that doesnât mean that you donât feel the same way as him. You still have a long way to go, and you donât want to rush anything. When you mention it to him, he just says that he needs you to hear it.
âMama, look!â Your daughter pulled you out of your head as she showed you a picture of a cat, âDada buy Yui.â You looked closely at the picture, laughing as you realized that she was talking about the cake that they ate. âYeah, you're right! That's what Dada bought you!.â You patted her head as she giggled.
âYui, baby. Did meemaw come to see you?â You held her small hands, trying to keep her attention to you. âNo. No meemaw.â She pulled at your hair gently, trying to color it with her crayons. âWhat aboutâŠwhat about Naomi?â You canât help but chuckle as she pretended to think, eyes looking up as she pouted her lip.
âNo Naomi!â Her answer gave you a bit of an insight. You would assume that maybe she was just busy, but hearing about how Satoruâs mother reduced her workload made you doubt it. Satoru sent you tons of pictures during his time with her but you thought that Naomi just wasnât in the frame.
If the âtalkâ between her and Satoru didnât end well, you could only assume that he already told her about it. Heâs probably down because he wouldnât want to hurt her like that. With all the progress Satoru has made, you doubt that heâd be so happy to have broken a heart. She was still once a friend to him.
A heavy feeling settles in the middle of your chest, like an anchor weighing your heart down, thinking about how his mother would probably find a reason to drag you for it. But if thatâs the case, youâre sure that Satoru wouldnât let harm come to you.
With how gentle Naomi was, you couldnât think of a worse thing to happen.
ââââââââââââââ
âWhat did she do this time?â His father looked away, clicking his tongue. If one would ask Satoru, his parents wouldâve probably divorced years ago if it werenât for him. His father knows how he is with his mother, and the thought of giving him a hard time switching between the two of them pained him.
Satoru wished that he thought about it too before he decided to go and selfishly start over with someone else. Your words the night he confessed to you echoed in his head. He came to a realization that you probably wanted to ask him to come back but held yourself back as he let you know how happy he was with Naomi.
And he was happy. But just like his father, he was never the happiest.
âI donât really know how to open this up to youâŠâ He bit his lip, ââŠBut I just want this to be over, Dad.â Satoru felt so vulnerable at that moment. The only time he had a talk this serious with his Dad was when he found out about your pregnancy. It was just more of a news, unlike right now, which is a call for help.
âNaomiâŠMom and Naomi talked aboutâŠâ His fatherâs eyes coaxed him as if sensing his distress. âNaomi tried toâŠâ Shaking his head, Satoru breathed out. âNaomi wanted to conceive. Because our relationship was falling apart.â He can see his Dadâs brows pull together to a scowl, probably getting a hint of what happened.
âShe talked to Mom about it and sheâŠâ The man sat up straight, bouncing his leg like he already knew what his wife did. âShe said Mom brought up the thing about how you and him got together.âIt was hard to talk about this to his father, knowing how sensitive it can be for him. âNaomi told me about it. I recorded it, just in caseââ
âSatoru, what did your girlfriend do?â Satoru looked down, fingers fidgeting like he was a kid again. âAnd your motherâs involved? What happened?â Rubbing his face, Satoru threw away all his fears. If heâs not going to fix these problems, then who will? âShe got me drunk, and then she tried to sleep with me.â He blinked fast, watching his fatherâs face.
âI heard her talking to Mom on the phone, and I took it from her. Thatâs how I found out that she played a part in all of it.â It was hard for him to accept. The person he used to protect, the one he always tried to understand was the same person who betrayed and put him in this position; the position that also made his father the person he is today.
Another long silence surrounded them. His fatherâs hand was balled into a fist, covering his mouth as he blankly stared at the marble surface. âWhereâs Naomi?â His father pulled out his phone, and Satoru could tell just what he was about to do. âI donât know. Iâm sending her things away. Iâm cutting her off. Iâm filing a protective order against her and momââ
Satoru didnât get to finish his sentence before his father spoke again, probably finally taking in the information he just provided him. âIâm divorcing your mother.â His mouth fell half-open.vorcing your mother.â His voice was low, serious, and full of all the grief that heâs been feeling for years ever since he lost his first wife and son. âAnd Iâm sending that woman to jail.â He added, raising a finger.
âThereâsâŠI donât want that.â He breathed out, earning a questioning look from his dad. âYou donât have to send her to jail. IâŠI messed up if I just told her that I still have feelings for Y/N, then she wouldnât have resorted to that. She wouldnât have talked to Mom and this wouldnât have happened.â He stood up, leaning on the counter as he squeezed his eyes shut.
Satoru thought about it too when he caught her in the act. But after some reflection, he realized his shortcomings, his mistake of not just telling her about what was really going on. Even though there was no excuse for what she did, Satoru canât help but feel like heâs the one who caused all of this to happen. And he probably really is; a victim of his foolish choices.
âBut other than that, I donât want Y/N and Yui to be caught up in this. I donât want to expose them to this kind of problem, theyâve been through so much because of me already. I just want to do better this time.â Thinking about dragging you into another mess made Satoru feel weak. He promised to make it up to you, and heâd do anything to prove that.
His father put his phone down on the table, taking in a deep breath just to calm himself. âBut youâre not stopping me from divorcing your mother.â Satoru doesnât know if itâs right to agree to that. It felt like he was encouraging the separation of his parents; celebrating his motherâs heartbreak.
But his fatherâs been suffering heartbreak for years. Itâs only fair to set him free.
âItâs up to you. IâŠâ Satoru shook his head, sure of the decision he was about to make. â...I donât think I can just forgive and forget what she did. Itâs not something small, and Iâm not a kid anymore, Dad.â His eyes itched, ready to let his tears go any minute. âI donât even know if I still want to be associated with her.â He turned away, sighing as he blinked away his pain.
When he and Naomi went for the examination, he made her spill all the details regarding the said conversation with his mother. It took everything in him not to fly into a rage while breaking down as he heard of it. All this time, his mother saw him as a pawn to keep his father, regardless of whose life she was tearing down; Satoruâs, his father's ex-wife, and his first son.
âI wanted to take you away when you were a kid.â His father admitted, looking ahead as he reminisced of the decisions he made. âI wanted to just take you and raise you with your brother. Of course, with the hopes of getting my ex-wife back.â He leaned back, tapping on the screen of his phone. The bitter tone in his voice canât be missed.
âThat was my plan when I found out about you. But when you were about a year and a half old, she disappeared. All I knew was she wasâŠtired; drained of all the chaos that our son and her were exposed to. What with having to co-parent with me as I was with your mother.â His eyes played the emotions he chose to hide away many years ago.
âI know you know about this. She and I got divorced. I thought it was over for us, I thought I made the right decision to turn away and try another start. And I was dating your mother. Then we had you.â His arms were crossed and Satoru could almost see the similarities between his feelings to how he used to feel about yours and his relationship.
âThen, realization came running for me; haunting me in my sleep. I was ready to get her back again, but it was too late. She was already gone.â Satoru absently poured water for his Dad, listening intently to his story. âSo, I felt like the only thing to do was to marry your Mom. I reminded myself that still have you, I canât just spiral down.â He smiled at Satoru.
âI tried to convince, tried to brainwash myself that itâd be fine. That I could learn to love her and I did. Just not the kind of love that lovers have.â If his mother could hear his Dad right now, sheâd get shattered. Satoru doesnât want to see that, but she would have to. She has to understand that sheâs putting this man through.
âI loved her because she loves me; because she cares for you and me.â Leaning over to pick up his glass, he looked his son in the eyes. âBut true love is unconditional, Satoru. It should not have a reason.â He took a sip, pursing his lips before continuing. âReasons might vanish, and when it does, so will the love you feel for that person.â
In the middle of it all, Satoru could only think of you. Why does he love you? When did he realize that he loves you? How did it happen? He doesnât have an answer for it. He cannot find a reason for it. He doesnât remember loving you just because you put up with him, he doesnât remember falling for you just because of the life you created together.
All that he knows is that one day, he woke up and he already knew that he was in love with you. Like heâs been doing it for years; like thatâs all heâs ever known.
â-------------------------------------------------
âIâll keep in contact with you regarding the proceedings.â Satoruâs father spoke on the phone, stepping inside his mansion and smiling at his helpers. He asked Satoru if he wanted to have a word with his mother but the thought of having to look at her after what she tried to make his ex-girlfriend do makes him feel dizzy.
âHoney, youâre home.â The woman tried to welcome him with a kiss and open arms but he quickly turned his head, rejecting her. âCome up to my office, we got something to talk about.â The mask of a loving wife was quickly covered with fear and dread.
âWhat about in our room? So, you can rest.â She nodded her head once, trying to coax him but he was tired of closing his eyes and numbing his heart from feeling the pain and regret of having to lose the love of his life for the comfort that this woman offered him before. âIn my office. Itâs not a small matter that I could sleep on.â
Leaving the woman baffled, he made his way upstairs, not waiting for her to walk beside him. There was a deafening silence in the big room, save from the footsteps of her husband and the door of his office slamming with such force that it sent a crack in her heart.
She took a deep breath and ran her palm on top of her dress, thinking of all the reasons she could give him just to prove her innocence. She didnât want any of that to happen. She didn't think that Naomi could be so dumb as to come up with such a heinous and unpleasant plan.
That wasnât even what she did to Satoruâs father. It was just working to keep them together. And thatâs why Satoru came.
With her found determination, she held her head high. Swallowing the terror rising up her throat as she let her thoughts convince her that she did nothing wrong. She never explicitly told Naomi to do that, sheâs the one who schemed that. Thereâs nothing to be afraid of.
She walked up the stairs, caressing the smooth, cold surface of the handrail. Satoru wouldn't allow anything to happen to her. Heâs her boy, her pride and joy. Heâs the only ally she had when his father was openly pushing her away.
Satoru wouldnât just ruin what she and his father had because of baseless information from his sick girlfriend. Entering the office, the man sat on his swivel chair. Forehead pressed to the heel of his hand. âWhat is it, dear?â She smiled sweetly at her husband, appearing unaware of what he had in mind.
Oh, how she wished she was just unaware of it all. She wished that she didn't know what the problem was. She wished it wasnât what she thought it was and that she was just overthinking because of howâ âI want a divorce.â Those four words halted the spinning of her world.
âWhat?â She raised her brows, checking if it was just her mind playing tricks on her and making her hallucinate. âI want a divorce. And I want it as soon as possible.â His eyes no longer held any emotions towards her; no sadness, bitterness, fading love. None. Not even pity.
âListen, honey, I didnât think that Naomi would doââ She took quick steps towards him, hoping to get him to listen. âSo, you knew about it?â He glared at her, âYou knew about it and you didnât tell me anything?â He shook his head, and she could only open her mouth.
âDoesnât matter. Satoru told me everything.â He stood up from his seat, towering over her as he stared her down. âItâs nothing like thatââ She breathed out, panicking. âIâm not really interested in what you told Naomi. Iâm just thankful that my sonâs safe.â He stepped away from her.
âWhat I want to do right now, is to be free from this.â Itâs over for her. All the alibis that she was composing, thinking of for this moment are useless. He doesnât need an explanation, this was simply the final push that he needed to kick her out of his life. And probably out of Satoruâs too.
âPlease, donât do this. Weâre already too old toââ She tried to grab his hand and he only grabbed it with the other to put it away. âYouâre right. Weâre too old, our sonâs too old for me to still pretend that we want to be in this position.â Shaking her head, she stepped in front of him, blocking his way. âPlease, listen. I wouldnât do something that could harmââ
âI know,â His voice was calm. âOf course, to harm him wasnât your intention, right?â She nodded eagerly, thinking that he was finally listening to her. âBut you wanted to decide for him. You got in between him and Y/N, then pushed this woman on him because you thought you knew best for your son.â Tears fell down her eyes, and she lost all hope.
âNow, look at what you did to him.â He gritted his teeth, stepping forward to get her out of his way. âBut this is not just about our son anymore. This is also about me, finally choosing to do what I shouldâve done a long time ago.â Opening the door, he spoke to her one last time. âAll you have to do is sign. The actions that your son will take is all up to him.â
With that, he left her with all of the nightmares of their past coming back. How he only wanted the best for his sons, how he wanted to take full custody of Satoru, how he wanted to get back together with his ex-wife, and how he only married her because she was gone. She was never the first option. She was never the original pick.
She wasnât chosen, she just happened to be already there.
âââââââââââââ
âHey,â You heard Satoru speak as Toji opened the door for him, nodding. This was kind of similar to how they first saw each other but youâre just glad that this time, itâs a lot calmer. Megumi ran to his father, peeking up at Satoru as he waved at him.
âYui, your Dadaâs here.â Toji left the door open to let Satoru in. Megumi was holding onto his pants, staring back at Satoru. âYui Dada,â He picked his toy up, staring at a distance before walking closer to him. âBlue!â You laughed from the kitchen, as you packed some snacks for the little girl.
Today, youâre going to the zoo as Yui requested. The animal drawings from her coloring book got her asking you to call her Dada late at night, just to babble about it. âHeâs referring to your eyes,â Toji spoke as he went back to the living room to pick up some of the toys.
âMegumi, itâs not good to point at people, what did I tell you?â He warned the toddler as he went back to your room, eyes meeting yours as you made your way to Yui's room. âAh, yes. Yui and I have the same eyes.â Satoru smiled at the child.
âDada!â Yui ran towards him, stopping her shoes extra hard to show him how they light up with dancing colors. âWoah! Did Mama buy you those shoes?â He opened his arms, urging the little girl to run to him and she happily did, giggling as she nodded. âItâs awesome!â You smiled at how he tried to flatter his child, encouraging her to do a little jump.
âWhere are we going today?â You asked her in a playful tone as you put the lunch bags on the coffee table in front of them. âZoo!â You watched a Satoru give her a sincere smile, patting her hair gently while complimenting her little butterfly clips. âIâm sure Megumiâs been to the zoo before.â He poked the little boy's tummy.
âYeah. Animals. Bears and lions.â He stood behind you, peeking at Satoru as he talked. Megumi isnât usually shy, but he doesnât easily warm up to people. âWe went there on his second birthday.â You almost jumped at Tojiâs voice behind you as he picked up his child. âHeâs a smart kid.â Satoru answered with a friendly smile.
âYou guys should come. If you want..â It surprised you that he was initiating something like that. Although, you know that Toji wouldnât be so comfortable with that and would most likely reject the offer, itâs still nice to see that Satoruâs trying to make an effort to get along with him.
âThatâd be nice but his grandma's waiting for him,â Toji answered, chuckling awkwardly. âDada work,â Megumi added, earning a hum from his Dad. Making sure that the bag is packed with everything Yui needs, you zipped it up. âYou ready to go now?â You tapped the toddlerâs cheek, feeling Satoruâs gaze at you.
âAlright, letâs get going.â Standing up with his daughter in his arms, he took the bag from your hands. He put the toddler down to hug her friend goodbye, before walking hand in hand with her outside. You laughed at how she kept squealing with each step she took, looking up to see her Dadâs reaction.
âYou guys have fun, alright? Iâll just lock the doors before we go.â Toji pulled you to him, giving you a kiss. âIâll be back later.â You put your hand around his neck, standing on your tippy toes before pecking his neck. With that, you walked out the door to join your toddler who was patiently waving at you from her car seat.
âOkay, itâs zoo time!â You wiggled your brows at her as you slammed the door shut, making her giggle. You checked your face in the mirror, trying to ignore Satoruâs soft eyes as he watched you. âHow are you?â You tried to start a conversation but it was quickly interrupted as you searched around for your daughterâs binky.
âMaybe we left it inside,â Satoru spoke, opening Yuiâs bag to help you find it. âYui, where did you put it?â Remembering how she placed it on the coffee table as she showed off her outfit to her father, you started to unbuckle your seatbelts but Satoru stopped you. âItâs alright, Iâll get it.â He was already stepping out of the car before you could stop him.
Satoru jogged up your steps, knocking a few times before proceeding to open the door. Toji was just about to open it for him when he entered, âItâs Yuiâs pacifier. She left it.â He put on the most polite smile he could muster, wanting nothing but to get rid of the awkwardness between them if they were both going to be in your life.
âOh, alright. I thought it was someone else.â Toji let out a rather awkward chuckle, not knowing how else to react or what else to say. But just as Satoru uttered âthanksâ, Toji remembered the thing heâs been thinking of for almost a week now. âUh, Satoru,â He called, making him pause as he held the door open.
Her brows raised, waiting for him to say something. Toji doesnât know if youâd be happy about this but itâs better than just letting his feelings, thoughts, and opinions all pile up inside of him. This is for you and Yui. Not just for him.
âIâve been thinking about our situation with Y/N and⊠I was wondering if you could set aside a bit of your time for a chat?â

âJust one, please?â
Youâve been at this for the past fifteen minutes. The first five you spent leaning your head on your boyfriendâs shoulder, enjoying the warmth on your cheek from the skin-on-skin contact. He was still unaware of your intentions, thinking it was just a silent gesture to initiate physical touch. Heâd put his arm around you then, squeezing you further into his side.
The second five minutes you spent tracing his tattoos with the tips of your fingers. You paid special attention to your favoritesâthe tiger lily, the Winners Never Quit wording, and the recently-discovered moon on his shoulder (which you recolored with your own mouth some weeks ago)âand gripped his arm a bit tighter when you got to his bicep. The black tank top heâs wearing gives you too much of an easy access that you didnât realize when you start squeezing your boyfriendâs bicep repeatedly like itâs your own personal stress ball.
âBabe, what are you doing?â
Jeonggukâs question triggered your next course of action, which you have been doing for the last one-third portion of the aforementioned fifteen minutes.
âCan I bite your arm?â was your opening line. When he blinks blankly, you continue with a paraphrased question, though it doesnât really cease Jeonggukâs confusion: âJust one bite, please?â
âWhy would you wanna bite my arm?â The puzzled look on Jeonggukâs face deepens, his thick eyebrows furrowing and scrunching up his face. A sliver of recognition flashes across his eyes as he squints at you in suspicion. âAre you horny again?â
âNo, no.â Youâre quick to deny. âItâs justââ You give the bicep in your grasp yet another squeeze, watching, fascinated, as the skin bounces firmly in your hand. ââso ⊠big, so sexy, so ⊠delicious.â Thereâs a giant drooling emoji in your head right now and Jeongguk can only stare in part amusement and part confusion at his entranced girlfriend.
âPlease, one bite?â
Your boyfriendâs eyes jump from your pleading eyes to your pouting lips, a tiny smile playing at the edge of his lips. The double piercing on the right side of his bottom lip taunts you, almost making you swerve to a whole new part of Jeonggukâs body to have between your lips and teeth. Oh, the joy of having a hot boyfriend.
âOkay.â
âOkay??â
âOkay, you can have one bite of my arm.â
You have your mouth on his arm not even a second after Jeongguk finishes his sentence. Sinking your teeth into the flesh, youâre careful to apply only a little pressure at the beginning before gradually adding more until you see Jeongguk grimacing from the corner of your eye. Itâs his fault, though, for only giving you one bite of this big, sexy, and delicious inked arm. Youâre just making the best use of the opportunity you were given.
In the seconds you spend attached to his arm, you think, why stop here? You could be doing so much more to this arm than just giving it a bite mark. So, with that in mind, you start to suck. The hiss Jeongguk lets out in surprise flashes something hot in your belly that you promptly ignore to continue your assault on his arm.
âI guess itâs kinda my fault, huh?â Jeongguk hums, his free hand tucking your hair behind your ear. The gesture seems sweet, innocent even, but the way he grips your nape after is anything but. âAlways flaunting my tattoos, flexing my arms ⊠even giving you surprise kisses. I wanted your attention and got more than what I asked for.â You pretend not to be affected by his words, now licking at the angry-red skin beneath the black ink. Jeongguk doesnât need to know how much this is turning you on.
âI didnât say anything about giving me a hickey, though.â
Jeonggukâs grip has moved from your nape to your hair, where he gives a slight tug to pull you away from his arm. When you look up, your blurry vision is met with Jeonggukâs piercing stare, making excitement course through your veins. You didnât plan for any of this to happenâyou just wanted to bite his arm, reallyâbut if Jeongguk wants to teach you a lesson for what you did to him, youâd happily be a good student and accept whatever he decides to give you.
âExactly,â you challenge him, grinning. âYou didnât say anything about it, therefore, thereâs no reason for me not to give you a hickey.â
âHuh.â He squints his eyes. âYou said you werenât horny, didnât you?â Your heart drops to your stomach as he leans forward to start tracing your neck with his nose, planting a tiny kiss on it. âSo it wonât be a problem if I donât let you cum while I use you to make myself cum, right?â The sickeningly-sweet smile on his lips contradicts the lewdness of his words. âYouâre not horny so you donât need to cum, am I right?â
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Gojo, who always comes running back to you, and you let him.
Itâs tiring. The same cycle over and over again.
All you wanted was to curl up in a ball, wishing all of this pain and nonsense can just go away.
You knew you were a good person. You had a job, you took care of everyone and everything, you put everyone over yourself.
So why were you getting treated as if you breathing were a burden.
But made you feel even worse was that your ex-boyfriend seemed to move on faster than you thought.
theulimitedvoid: my lover <3 @/lusi
He always knew how to make you feel more worse than ever. He always did this, after a stupid little argument and then breaking it off, running to his old fling like you were nothing and you would take him back after a while.
You were so so tired of it.
It wasnât until two weeks later when you truly had enough.
Your friends encouraged you to go out, get that stupid guy out of you mind and have fun, but when that stupid guy suddenly shows up, taunting you silently and staring you down the whole time he would make out with his new thing.
âGetou, justâŠleave it.â You mumble, gripping the shot glass after you chugged your fifth shot of that night, but you honestly wanted to chug the whole bottle at this point.
âHeâs making you look like a dumbass and you always forgive him.â You heard his breath hitch, making you chuckle when he began to apologize numerous times.
âNo, youâre right. Iâm so tired of thinking heâd change. He wonât.â You whispered, glancing over the club in anguish.
âI better get home though. The flower shop isnât going to open tomorrow itself.â
You joked and nudged your best friend, but the look he gave you almost brought you in tears.
âDonât look at me like that, suguru.â Gripping your keys, you smiled and patted his shoulder in comfort.
âDonât stress seriously, itâs fine and Iâm used to it okay? Iâm okay.â
âItâs so fucking stupid you have to be used to this stupid shit, [Y/N].â He rubbed his forehead in frustration, wanting to do nothing more than to go punch his other best friend for treating the friend he introduced him to.
âHow about I take you home?â You shook your head, stating that your older and younger brothers would be picking you up, saying that your baby brother will drive your car back home for you.
You began to leave, looking back and seeing Gojo frowning over at you. He ignored the girl who was trying to grind on him, his full attention on you.
You two stared, ignoring the loud music, the warm bodies everywhere, all your focus on each other.
He was the first to look away, keeping his eyes at his new girl as she kissed him all over his neck and lips, making your breath hitch.
Maybe you just werenât worth enough to love. It wasnât fair that she got the version of Gojo you worked so hard to get, like it was a piece of cake to take away the sole reason you felt complete.
How unfair life was to you, it seemed.
EJ: weâre outside
Gavi: ye breh hurry tf up
You rolled your eyes, walking out of the humid club and jogging over to the car, throwing the keys at your brother before jumping into the passenger seat.
It was quiet between you and your older brother, the soft melody of the song âTemporaryâ by 6lack began, making you look out of the door in sadness from the way it reminded you so much of you and your ex lover.
âYou good?â You felt the stare of your brother, you wanted to simply nod, but your heart betrayed you as you began to sob.
The sobs coming out of you were almost scary, the way you sounded so completely broken, the pain so evident in your cries as you gasped for air.
EJ rubbed his hand on your shoulder, mumbling and whispering that youâll be okay. That youâre strong and you can over come this, but you truly felt like you couldnât.
You began spilling everything from the club, you felt as if youâd pass out any second now after you spoke how your night ended.
âHe doesnât love you sis, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that heâll come back, heâs just making you more vulnerable and weak. We all know youâre none of that, so please, try to understand that no matter how hard and how amazing you can be, youâll never be enough in his eyes.â
It was the harsh reality, and you knew it. You heard it from your mom, your siblings, your best friends, but hearing it from your oldest sibling truly made you feel sick.
âI tried so hardâŠand he just expects me to be here for him after thisâŠâ your brother scoffed, clenching the stirring the wheel.
âAnd youâd be a damn fool for letting him.â
âąâąâą
You felt a bit of peace right now, watering your beautiful flowers as your favorite playlist played softly in your little store.
Ooh never thought I would be without you,
I wish you love, i wish you well
I wish you roses while you still can smell them
With pretty flowers can come the bee sting
The soft ding of the front door rang, making you tensed as loud footsteps came in, reminding you of when Gojo would come in all the time during this hour with his loud stompers, excitedly bringing in your lunch for you.
Gosh you really didnât want to face him. You think youâd never be ready, knowing youâd fold for him immediately and he knew it.
âExcuse me, do you happen to have Liriotypus?â You turned around, startled by the new voice you havenât heard before and expecting Satoruâs.
âHuh- what?â Your eyes shyly scanned his features, seeing such blue turquoise eyes and blond spiky hair.
His eyes werenât as blue as Gojoâs, but they were so gorgeous. Gojo was the sky, but this man was the whole ocean.
âLiriotypus?â He said the flower name again, a bit sternly now making you nod and place the water pitch down.
âOh yeah, these are the ones I have.â You guided him to where all the different flower lilies were, pointing specifically at the yellow and white ones.
âThese are veryâŠpretty. How much?â You grabbed a bouquet, smiling as you walked back to the register.
âUsually theyâre $25, but Iâll give you a discount.â He looked at you in a bit of a shock, but he nodded regardless.
âOh uh thanksâŠcan I ask why?â
âIâve never seen you here before and youâŠseem really interesting. I hope this could bring you back to visit sometime?â
He chuckled, pulling his wallet out without glancing at you.
âInteresting? Is this your way of flirting, pretty florist?â He seemed almost nervous to say the last part, but gosh did it have you feeling on fire.
âMaybeâŠbut whatâs the special occasion?â You glanced down in wonder at the flowers, a smile still on your lips. He sighed, placing his hand down now showing you the silver ring very present on his ring finger.
âTheyâre for my fiancĂ©.â You choked on air a bit, throwing your hands in your hair in complete shock and embarrassment.
âHoly fuck thatâs so messed of me to assume youâre single! Iâm so sorry i shouldâve taken the hint the moment you came in here to get flowers and i didnât even see the ring on your finger i am so sorry!â
He laughed a bit, almost a bit sadly as he shook his head.
âNah donât worry about itâŠactually she passed away before I couldâŠpropose properly so I am very single now, Iâm just taking these for her at the cemetery. Itâs been years now so donât stress.â
You still felt your cheeks on fire, pushing the flowers towards him.
You watch from the small amount of space in your hand to see him place down a fifty dollar bill.
âHere, keep the change. Iâll definitely come back soon.â You nodded, clearing your throat and sighing.
âYeah um..thank you.â
He walked out with a grin, leaving you still in a small mess but a small yellow sticky note that you didnât even notice he toke from your desk,caught your eyes.
I left you my number. Youâre very pretty and Iâd love to take you out sometime. Text me soon, pretty florist. - cloud

The northeastern ocean is a paradise.
Youâve only seen the beaches on pamphlets and in Pinterest and youâre glad to see that it is just as beautiful as it was in the picture, maybe even more.
Padding around your cottage, enjoying the warm hardwood floor as the salty ocean breeze brushes your hair from your shoulder.
You rest your arms on the railings. A bunch of people were already in the water despite it being two in the afternoon and the sun was high up in the sky. You canât wait to do so too. But first, you needed that coconut juice with the tiny umbrella.
You glance at the shawl you draped on your bed. Then you whipped around to see your full reflection in the mirror. Your eyes linger on your insecurities but you let them wander on your other assets.
And just like that, you choose to exit your cottage in your swimwear alone. Well, with your oversized sunglasses for extra effect and your pretty little beach sandals.
Eyes turned to your direction when you made your way into the minibar on the beach. And you cannot lie, it felt pretty darn good.
The person manning the bar turns to you with a smile and you ask for the drink you wanted. You carried the entire coconutâas the drink was served in oneâon the seat facing the beach and you took a sip from the curled straw.
You sigh in contentment. You never get this kind of freshness in Paradis.
âHey.â
You pause mid-sip to look up the person who called your attention.
A kind looking man with a bunch of freckles smiles shyly at you.
âHey.â You say back to him. âCan I help you?â
He chuckles. âNah. I was just wondering if you can share your table with me.â
You glance around the nearly empty bar and to the seat in front of you.
And Historiaâs words echo in your head.
âSure!â
 âGreat.â He beams at you. âTourist?â
You laugh awkwardly. âAm I that obvious?â
âOh, no. No.â He smiles apologetically. âItâs just, I come here often to surf and I never saw you before.â
You smile at him, not really knowing how to respond. Your social awkwardness is a congenital defect.
He smiles back at you before his eyes widen. âSorry, was that weird? Itâs not that I spy on people. I just watch people like a normal amount.â He says hurriedly. âIâm normal.âÂ
Ah. A person who is just as awkward as you.
âPlease, sit down.â You laugh.
He gladly does so. âThanks.â He places his drink on the table. âIâm Marco, by the way.â
You extend a hand for him to shake, which he does. âY/N.â
You sip on your coconut and stare off in the waves as you did not bring your phone along with you.
âSo, Y/N. Where are you from?â
You wipe your lips. âParadis. You?â
He smiled. âAlso from Paradis but I moved here two years ago to pursue surfing.â
âOh?â You asked, your interest piqued.
His chest puffs up a bit. âYup. I join competitions and stuff and give lessons during my free time. I can teach you if you want. For free.â
You shift in your seat excitedly. âReally?â You always wanted to try surfing.
He nods as he sips his pineapple drink. âWe can meet around four, thatâs when the waves usually come in. I could even bring you a board.â
âThat sounds perfect, Marco.â
Eren Jaeger was never bothered by the freezing temperature of the theater.
But this feels rather different.
âAllis.â He says with his hand waiting and his brows twitch when it took solid five seconds before the instrument was put on his hand.
âIf this continues, weâll be here till midnight.â He says impatiently.
âSorry Doc, I usually work in laparoscopic procedures.â The scrub one nurse smiles sheepishly.
Eren looks up upon hearing a different voice. He was wondering as to why youâre being too quiet, as it turns out, youâre not even there with him.Â
âWhereâs Y/L/N?â He asks as he scans the entire theater for you.
âNot here.â The circulating nurse says rather aloofly.
Eren glances at her. âReiss, is it?â He asks the circulating nurse.
âThatâs right, doc.â She says, her posture stiff as she hugs the clipboard close to her. She was shorter than most but sheâs staring him down.
âWould you mind telling me where my usual scrub nurse is?â Eren asked calmly, not even looking at her as he pulled on a tough tissue.
Historia hesitates for a moment. âSheâs-â
âSheâs out having the best time of her life and potentially kissing hot lifeguards.â Ymir, the scrub two nurse says.
Eren pauses and the scrub one nurse looks at him in apprehension but Eren quickly resumes the operation and looks as nonchalant as ever. âGood for her.â
âSure.â Ymir grins. âBy the amount of rejection she gets from you, itâs only fair if she gets laid from time to time. Right, Doc?â
All eyes fall on Eren.
âFocus on the operation.â
They all share knowing glances and resume their work.
Marco was really patient with you despite you messing up much too often.
âI just canât get it right.â You say frustratingly.Â
He just smiled kindly. âItâs because youâre too stiff. Try to loosen your hips and bend your knees a bit.â
You look and see a big wave coming. âAlright, Iâll try again.â
Marco raises his thumbs and beams at you. âYou got this!â
But as soon as you stand, you manage to stay on the board for a few seconds before falling on your back on the water.
You sink and you look up to see the board floating, with an obscured image of a worried Marco next to it. You swim up and rest your elbows on the board.
âThat was better.â He grins. Heâs being too kind. That was simply horrible. âWanna try again?â
By the end of the day, you feel like your entire body is sore, but at least you can say that you know how to surf now. Albeit, poorly.
You and Marco eat at a grill house. Your treat of course, itâs your way of saying âthank youâ as he refused any monetary payment.
âWhy is the food so much better here? We never get tuna this fresh in Paradis.â You groan while dipping one in hot soy sauce that the owners made themselves.
âParadis has good seafood too though.â Marco says confused.
You nod as you swallow your food. âBut by the time it reaches the city, itâs frozen.â
Marco just watches you eat, a small smile on his lips.
âWhat?â You ask with a small chuckle, feeling slightly conscious.
He blinks and a tint of red spreads on his cheeks and he starts playing with the decorative seashell.
âNothing. Itâs just, youâreâŠwell, youâre really pretty.â
You pause. âOh, thank you.â You smile widely. Should you compliment him too? What should you say in these situations?
âWell, I know youâre not interested in me in that way but I did enjoy our time this afternoon. And if youâre not too busy tomorrow, what do you say about coming with me and my friends to scuba dive?â
Youâre not doing anything important tomorrow. Scuba diving sounds pretty fun too. And itâs good that he is sensitive to your feelings, he knows where he stands.
The idea of being liked is something you quite enjoyed as it was always you who is being rejected. But you didnât like the thought of hanging out with him with that kind of mindset installed in your head.
And as much as you like trying new stuff, you think itâs better that you donât spend two days together in a row. Just to keep things casual.
You want to focus on yourself first.Â
Besides, you canât stress about guys right now, youâre on a vacation.
And you have enough stress waiting for you back in Paradis, and that stress comes in the form of a 183 centimeters tall general surgeon who is currently trying to come to terms with his feelings inside the Hospital parking lot for an hour now.
