Chapter 7

Mina's POV

"For how long?" He asked, but I closed the door before he could even take a step inside. I layed my back on the wall, as I slapped my forehead while breathing deeply. I reminisced about the moment wherein a random girl namely Seulgi just showed up, and introduced herself as Jimin's girlfriend. I closed my eyes tightly as I sighed heavily, while covering my entire face. I don't know what to do anymore.

"Aish." I slowly punched my chest gently, while looking down. I never knew that Jimin had a secret relationship with a girl before our marriage. I mean, he should've told me before the wedding, and I should've known about it so that I wouldn't experience this kind of shit.

I can still feel that Jimin is still infront of my door, but I just ignored him. I slowly held my chest and I felt like my heart tightened up a little bit. I want to ignore and avoid him all day, but I couldn't-- because it still hurts deep inside, and I can't stand it avoiding and not talking to him the entire day.

I rolled over around the bed, as I hugged my knees. Next time if I see Seulgi, I don't know if I can control my anger or temper infront of her. She's testing me by the way she act infront of me and the way she stare deeply to Jimin.

"Mina?" My heart skipped a beat when I heard Jimin's voice outside the door. "Well, if you're listening; I'm gonna go out for awhile." When he said that, my heart dropped. What if he met up again with Seulgi and they'll go out together without me noticing it? I mean, what if he'll leave me alone and he'll spend the entire afternoon together with Seulgi?

I don't know what has gotten into me but I quickly stood up from the bed, and opened the door. I saw him standing infront and he was holding a small bowl with fries on it and on his other hand, he's holding a bottle of Heinz Ketchup, which he knew that is my favorite. He was surprised to see me, and he tried to smile at me brightly but I just looked at him directly in the eyes.

"Where are you going?" I asked him. He bit his lower lip before rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm gonna go buy you some snacks." He said. "I checked out our refrigerator earlier, and we don't have enough food to eat." I just looked at him and I gulped down. Eventhough I want to go with him, something inside me refuses. Like, I should let him go for awhile and I should get my mind cool off for this day.

"Aren't you coming with me?" He asked. My eyelids widened when he asked, but I just shook my head. His facial expressions changed and he reached out the bowl and ketchup for me.

"Here." He said. "Something for you to pig out while I'm gone." I gently took it from him, and he rubbed his hair.

"Thank you." I spoke softly, and I noticed him smiling a little.

"I need to go now." He said but before he could turn his back from me, I quickly held his shirt stopping him from walking away from me. He turned his head, and looked at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked. My head remained to look down because I'm getting embarrassed, and I don't even know why I did that. What made me even more surprised is that I saw him kneeling down infront of me, so that he can look at me.

"Why? Is there something wrong, Mina?" My heart skipped a beat when he mentioned my name, but still I should act cold and quiet infront of him. I slowly rubbed my eyes before looking at him back.

"Please don't go." I said. I tightened my grip onto his shirt, as I felt my legs getting wobbly and weak. "Please don't leave me alone." I gulped, before rubbing my eyes again.

I saw Jimin's lips curve, and it turned out to be a smile. He slowly stood up and he held both of my hands tightly.

"What are you talking about?" He said before patting my head gently. "I'm not gonna leave you alone." I felt his warm hand cupping my face gently and he tapped my right cheek.

"I'm just gonna go buy you some food and snacks." Jimin said and I nodded a little. He noticed it so he gently let go of my face before planting a kiss on my forehead.

"But--" I stuttered and he glanced back at me again. "Seulgi." I mentioned the girl's name and his bright face suddenly faded. He breathed deeply and smiled at me. I'm just scared just by the thought if ever he'll meet up again with her, without me knowing, and I don't want that to happen.

"Mina." He said before sighing. "No, Seulgi's not here." He said trying to brighten up the mood again, so I just nodded at him a little. He smiled back at me, and waved his hand. I watched him walk downstairs as his footsteps were no longer to be heard. I gently held my chest for a minute, while breathing deeply.

"How can I easily trust him after he made a mistake earlier? I'm not sure but how can I really assure myself that he'll never meet up with Seulgi, again?" I whispered to myself and I quickly ran over the window of my room, and watched him walk outside. Jimin slowly glanced back and he saw me watching over at him, and he waved his hand back at me. I saw him mouthed, "I love you!" before turning his back and headed towards the small market which is just a few miles away from our condo.

I quickly ran outside from my room, and headed downstairs. I thought about making him dinner when he finally reach home. I don't know what's gotten into me, but I kinda missed talking and being with him. I felt bad just by ignoring, avoiding and acting cold towards him today.

I groaned a little, and held my chest once again before rubbing it. "It still hurts."  I whispered softly, while looking down. Eventhough, I don't want to remember what happened earlier-- and it just keeps on rewinding back into my mind, and I couldn't help but to think about it. I still kept on reassuring myself by not thinking negative thoughts and that maybe Seulgi is just one of Jimin's admirer back then, but the way she said that she's Jimin's girlfriend felt a little bit real.

I don't know but I still trust Jimin, and I don't believe Seulgi. I know that he's a playboy back then, but I'm pretty sure and I trust him that he can't do this to me, now that we're married.

I shook my head and blinked multiple times, and walked towards the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator, and noticed that there are a few snacks and food inside. I frowned a little, while tapping my chin. While looking inside, I thought about his main favorite.

"Hmm." I hummed. "Ramen? I heard that he likes ramen." I nodded to myself, and felt proud that I barely know Jimin's favorites and I often see him eating and ordering ramen outside.

"Well, then it's settled." I said and I took out some ingredients inside. I boiled some water, and started to ready some of the ingredients. While slicing, I accidentally cutted my finger; I mean, just a small one. I flinched a little, before blowing one of my fingers. I quickly searched for a small band-aid, and covered the small scratch. While tapping my finger, I thought about Jimin. I miss hanging out with him, and I wonder if ever he's around with me today, will he care and act worried about me?

"I miss him." I told myself. After several minutes of cooking and waiting, the ramen is finally done. I looked over the wall clock, and it's starting to get 6:00, so basically he'll be around anytime. While waiting for him to come home, I sat down on the couch and clicked the TV open to watch some reality shows, to make me feel less lonely inside the condo.

As I was watching, I heard a phone call. I looked around the living room, and searched for my phone thinking that maybe Jimin called me. I happily took it, and opened that it isn't the one which is ringing. My heart started to beat fast, and I felt shivers thinking that maybe I'm not the only person here. The phone kept on ringing, and it sounded so close to where I am standing-- and the ringtone, sounds familiar to me.

I followed to where the sound is coming from, and noticed that it is inside the desk. My heart was racing too fast, and I felt nervous.
I slowly walked even closer towards it, and my hands were trembling trying to reach over the desk. I gently pulled it, and I was surprised to see who's phone it was!

"Jimin's phone?" I asked myself. I gulped down, thinking that why would Jimin left his phone here? But what makes me curious, is that who is this person calling Jimin, by this time? I slowly took his phone, and opened the screen. I felt like my heart just dropped, just by seeing the caller's name.

"Seulgi." I don't know why but I felt like my temper started to get high, as soon as I read her name. My grip tightened, and I just want to click the 'end call' button, because her name itself can easily make me mad. But there is also a part of me which wants to call her, just this once. It makes me curious why she decided to call Jimin, and what she wants to talk about with him.

I don't know why but I suddenly clicked the 'call' button, and my heart started to beat faster than before, as soon as I heard her voice through the phone.

"Hello?" I heard her stop for awhile. "Jimin? Are you there?" I felt like my world just turned upside down, when she mentioned Jimin's name. The way she mention and call his name, sounds so clingy and irritating.

"Hello." I answered back. I noticed her as she stopped talking, and answered back at me quickly.

"Who's this?" She asked. "Jimin? Jimin!" I felt like my heart started to get tight, and I quickly responded to her back.

"Hi." I spoke out slowly. I heard her breathing deeply through the phone, and while my hands are trembling, I can really feel the tension going along between us because she's seriously annoying me.

"Tsk, who are you?" She said. "Drop the phone, and give it to Jimin. You're not even the one who I wanted to talk to in the first place." As soon as she said that, I smirked a little. Who is she even anyway to call Jimin and beg me to drop the call?

"You really don't know who I am?" I told her. "I'm Jimin's wife, and for your information; he's not here, and don't ever call him again." I quickly ended the call, and pulled my hair slowly while groaning a little, and stomping my feet.

"Wow, she really has the nerve to call Jimin, and ask who I am." I told myself while crossing my arms. She's really getting on my nerves, and she's testing me. If her name itself can annoy me, well-- even her existence itself also can easily irritate me. I hate it when she's trying to get Jimin's attention, and acting all too childish and clingy infront of him.

I got surprised when I heard the front door screech open slowly, and I glanced on the door seeing Jimin standing infront while carrying one plastic bag.

"Mina, I'm home!" He smiled at me brightly and walked towards me. I smiled back at him, and he stood right infront of me. He was staring at me deeply and his gaze went down from my hand. His expression changed, so I also looked down to where he was also looking at-- and I saw my hand, still holding his phone up until now.

"Mina." He spoke softly. "Where did you found my phone?"
