Chapter 6
MINA'S POV
"This is going to be fast, I promise." I told Jimin who is patiently waiting outside the store. He nodded while smiling. I rushed towards the inside of the store to look for a dress for myself. I sneakily glanced at Jimin and it seems like he's busy with his phone again. If I lose my temper, I will seriously throw that annoying phone of his. I don't mind buying another phone for him, tho. As long as he will stop checking his phone from time to time.
I actually wanted to buy him a nice dress shirt since he has bought a lot of things for me already and I think I have to buy him something in return, too. Since I've watched a lot of dramas, I saw wives doing this kind of things for their husband. It's nice to shop clothes for your husband, anyway.
I called a salesman and asked what color of dress shirt will look best for Jimin. I even pointed at him, so that the salesman will be able to know what will fit him perfectly. The salesman took out three different dress shirts; the first one is a baby blue-colored dress shirt with darker blue-toned stripes on it. The second shirt dress is color pastel pink and has some nice floral print on its collar and finally, the third one is maroon in color.
I thought of the dress that I chose earlier. It would be nice if both of our clothes match each other. My dress is white. Well, sadly, any of these dress shirts don't match my dress' color.
"Do you have any white dress shirts?" The salesman nodded and picked two types of shirts and raised it up, so I can see them better. I glanced at Jimin and it looks like he's talking to someone over the phone. His eyebrows are crossed really hard. I have a hunch that he's talking to his co-businessman. If I'm going to buy him a nice clothing, his good mood will come back. I had a hard time picking which dress shirt suits him better. In the end, I chose the first one.
"₩230,000." I am jaw-dropped. I felt like I became deaf suddenly after hearing how expensive that plain white shirt dress is. My heart is hurting as I hand her my credit card. Goodbye, ₩230,000. She gave it back to me. I feel like my credit card lost all of its weight. I pouted. Mina, this is for your handsome husband, okay? Nothing's a waste when it comes to him. I smiled after that thought. I went out of the store and walked towards Jimin.
My eyebrows met when I saw him talking to someone over the phone. It was like 30 minutes already when I saw him talking to someone and he's still talking? Our eyes met and I had to fake a smile quickly, so he will not be bothered if he'll see my face looking very problematic. It seems like he bid his goodbye to that certain someone. He quickly returned his phone back to his pocket and kissed me on my cheek.
"Sorry for making you wait," I apologized, but he just gave me his eyesmile. "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat some snacks?"
"Nah, I'm still full." He said and insisted that he's going to carry the shopping bag for me, but I told him that it's not that heavy. It's like also saying that I don't want him to see that shirt I brought for him until we get home. I looked at my watch and saw that it's already 6 in the evening. I made him wait for one and a half hour! I suddenly felt bad.
I noticed that his phone keeps on beeping, but he doesn't even bother on checking it. From afar, we heard someone shout his name. I stopped from walking and tilted my head to check who was that, but I saw no one running towards us. I glanced back at Jimin, but he wasn't beside me. I looked for him and saw him walking towards the escalator. I ran towards him and patted his shoulder. He looked back at me while I tried catching my breath. That's really exhausting!
"Babe, are you okay?" He asked and caressed my back. I nodded and asked him why is his pace getting faster and faster. He looked pale after I asked that question. He avoided my question and told me that he's going to buy me water instead. Before I could even stop him from buying, he already fled from my sight.
After five minutes or so, he came back with a bottle of water on his hand. He gave it to me and I gladly took it from me. I was about to ask him my previous question, when we heard someone yell his name for the second time. I noticed that he looked even paler than earlier and he looks petrified. I also saw that he's sweating really hard.
"Babe, you okay?" I asked him and then I saw a lady in a red dress walking towards our direction. Was she the lady who yelled out Jimin's name? When she finally reached us, I saw how she snaked Jimin's arm and kissed him on his cheek. Jimin then moved. I tried catching his eyes, but it looks like he's avoiding my eyes as well.
I'm getting confused right here, "Jimin, who's she?" But he failed to answer my que. I turned to the lady whose hand is still clung on my husband's arm. I asked her nicely, "Miss, who are you?" I know that she has to do something with Jimin based on how she's acting in front of me. I don't know why am I asking her this question. Because of assurance? I don't know. Because I want to hear it from her? I don't know either.
"I'm Seulgi." She answered with that devilish smirk on her face. "And Jimin and I are dating each other." My heart sank, dropped, broke and crushed after hearing her answer. I can feel the corners of my eyes heat up. At this moment, I would rather choose to fool myself than to face reality.
I smiled and gently took her hand off my husband's arm, "I'm sorry, but I need to borrow him for a while." I said and dragged Jimin away from her. I don't exactly know what was I doing. All I know is that I drove us home and as soon as we reached the condominium building, I stayed inside the car to ask him a few questions.
The clouds cried with me, "How long have you been dating?" I looked outside the car's window and watched the busy streets. I refused to look at his eyes because it will hurt me more. I'm amazed of how he was able to keep it all from me because whenever I stare deeply into his eyes, I can see how much he loves me. Just by staring into those beautiful yet lying pair of eyes that he has, I can say that he loves me so much.
"B-Before our wedding..." He whispered, but I feel like he shouted it. It was painful for me to hear him say that. They started dating before our wedding? That's bullshit. How can he possibly date someone even before our wedding can take place?
"Jimin, that's bullshit!" I yelled. I covered my face with my hands and let my tears flow. There's no other way I can let this out except for crying. As much as I want to punch him, I can't. "Was she the reason why you're always on your phone?" I tried my best to ask him, though I can't because I feel like there's something stuck in my throat.
It took him some time to answer, "Y-Yeah." I leaned my head on the driver's seat's headrest. I started banging my head against that thing over and over again, thinking why am I so dumb not to notice that. I blamed myself for not making him feel enough that I love him so much. "M-Mina, stop it." He took my head and hugged me. I hit his chest repeatedly until I lost all my energy. I felt him caressing my hair while kissing it. "I-I'm so sorry, Mina." It's not that easy to forgive, Jimin. It won't be easy for me. I quickly opened the car's door and ran away from him. I don't care if I'm going to get wet and sick again.
I rushed towards our unit and locked myself inside our room. I don't know what should I do now that I knew that Jimin is cheating on me. Should I run away from him? But you love him. Should I divorce him? But you love him. Should I go back to your parents and leave him alone? But you love him. Should I cheat on him as well? But you love him. Should I go find someone better than him? But you love him.
"Mina, babe, let's talk about this, please?" I didn't realize that Jimin is already knocking on the door. I just looked at it. I don't have any plans on opening it up. "Mina, please." He begged.
"If you really do love me, you won't cheat on me." I whispered.

The next day, I was puzzled to see myself on the bed. I still have the same clothes from yesterday and just by thinking what happened yesterday, I felt pain in my heart once more. A tear escaped from my eye.
I sighed and decided to get up. I'm certain that Jimin already left for work since he's not beside me when I woke up, but I saw him cooking something for breakfast. He smiled at me as if nothing terrible happened yesterday. I ignored him and made myself a cup of coffee, but he gave me something. It's a cup of coffee with a note taped on its body and it says, 'Please forgive me, babe'. I decided to ignore it and after making myself coffee, I looked for some bread to make a toast.
"Babe," he hugged me from the back and planted kisses all over my bare shoulder. "Please forgive me."
"Let go." I said coldly and successfully escaped from that back hug. Before I could go back to our room, he asked:
"What should I do to make you forgive me?"
I sighed, "Wait. Just wait for me to forgive you." I said.
