"One last time."

I stood watching my reflection from the mirror in my  walk-in closet. I took the bottle of perfume from the wooden three drawer chest, spritzed it through the air and walk through it.

Wearing a black crisp shirt, with black pants, I walked out from the room, strutting towards the kitchen. What a morning! Hearing my kid giggles, and watching my wife cooking breakfast nearby the kitchen stove, with the housekeeper helping her. I am beginning to love this life. I am beginning to regret my past life, spending time wooing girls and short flings!

Making a beeline towards the back of my wife, I wrapped my arms around her waist, nestled my chin on her shoulder.

"Stop it! I might burned the eggs!"

"Smells nice."

"The eggs?" No, you.

"Yeah. The eggs" I said with a flat tone.

She told me to take a seat next to Jitae who was munching his cereal. Looking at Jitae who was focusing on the bowl of cereal, I opened my mouth widely, asking for cereals from Jitae. Jitae pulled away the bowl, "No! This is mine!" I fake pouted at him. "No, mommy, daddy wants to take my cereals!"

I chuckled at him. "Oh Taehyung, he's a kid. Here's your breakfast." I gave a grin.

"Thank you. Let's eat!"

"It's delicious!" Always been. Everyday! I could never get tired of her cooking.

"Thanks. You are going to the office today?" I nodded. "You?"

"I have the day off, today and tomorrow. I was thinking to go for grocery shopping once I dropped Jitae to the school."

"Okay. You want me to join you?"

"It's okay. You must be busy with the new business tender you are securing."

"Ah yes! I must make sure I secured the building, for the new gallery." She nodded.

Finishing up my dishes, I stood up from my seat, and took the plates with me to the sink. As I was walking, I heard, "Just leave your plate in the sink, I'll wash it later. The last time you wash, the plate was still greasy!"

"Fine!" I squirted some handwash soap and washed my hands, before wiping it with the kitchen towel. I hurried to the coffee table to take my bag and grabbed my car keys, before stopping by to the dining table.

"Goodbye Jitae. Be good to friends and teachers okay?" I kissed his cheeks as he giggled.

"Goodbye, honey." I smiled at her. As I was about to peck her cheek, she turned making my lips peck her cheek. "No. One year remember." She whispered not wanting Jitae to hear it.

Ouch!

She was okay this morning. Why would she pulled away when I was about to peck her lips? Did I do anything wrong?

I saw hurt in her eyes. Does it related to what had happened before? Why is she distancing herself now?

I stood up straight, as I was controlling my emotions, I turned to Jitae, and gave him a smile masking the hurt in my heart. I ruffled his hair before disappearing out from the house.

Focusing on work was totally a failure. Thinking about my wife who was distancing herself from me. I stared into the blank computer screen still thinking of the event of kissing her the night before.

"Look what just happened to this family guy. What are thinking?" I was brought out to reality as I heard Yoongi's voice entering my ear canal.

"When did both of you came in?" I asked. Seeing Hoseok next to him. "While you were buzy staring at the blank screen of your computer."

"How did you know that the screen is blank?"

"Simple. There's no reflection from the glasses you are wearing!" Hoseok continue as both of them settling on the couch in front of my.

"Want to share anything?" I was contemplating whether to tell them or not. The whole facade.

"Actually I am bound to a marriage contract." I started after giving a few minutes thought. Both of their heads turned towards my direction. I stood up and make my way to sit on the single seater couch. I told them everything from the night of the accident, to the kiss last night and the way she distance herself from me.

"My brother is now in love!" Hoseok chirped.

"Are you?" Yoongi asked. I shrugged as I took a deep breath.

"You are!" Hoseok squeals excitedly.

"Help?" As much as I wanted to keep my ego, but I am helpless in this matter.

"Make her feel love! Showers her with love, give her flowers, or anything she loves. That's is what I did to Haebum, until now." Hoseok said.

"Try to get to know her. She might want to warm her heart to you." Yoongi said.

"Since when are you a love expert?" Hoseok asked.

"I know everything okay?"

"I wanted to know what makes her distancing herself from me. I kept on wondering what had happened before. The words that Haebum mutters to her, her mom."

"Hoseok, remember what you did before?" Yoongi asked.

"What did I do before? I barely remembers what I ate yesterday, let alone 'before'."

"The guy! You adked him to search on your wife!"

"Ah, that guy!"

"What about him?" I was confused by the two.

"He is a private investigator, he can help in searching on her past. If you want." I shook my head.

"I don't think so. It's invading her privacy!" Hoseok got up from his seat and make his way to my desk, grabbed a pen and wrote something on the memo pad. Tearing off the memo pad from it's holder, he make his way back to the seat, and passed me the memo.

"This is his contact. Gijae. Call him if you need his service." Yoongi nodded agreeing to Hoseok.

"I guess we will go now." Yoongi said.

"Wait, why were both of you here in the first place?"

"We were just had our coffee at the cafe nearby and thought of you. Can't you see we bought you some muffins for you?" He said, pointing towards the muffin box on the table. Both of then bade their goodbye and went out of my office.

"Sir, your two o'clock appointment is here." Kiyong, my assistant said.

"Alright, send him in."
