A/N: I changed the name of her friend from Jisung to Taeyeon. I decided to add a few things to story that won't make sense if her friend is named Jisung. :)

"You did what?" Duri stood there in her pajamas and stared at Minho. She slowly started backing away as Minho stood up to apologize. "I should've listened to Taeyeon when he warned me about you...." She said still backing away from him as he held both palms up in surrender.

"Just let me explain, please, Duri. Please" He said as felt tears start to sting his eyes. She'd done so much to help him live his life again. The past month had been the happiest he'd been in years, and now he was on the verge of losing everything. She shook her head disapprovingly before she ran to her the garage and got in her car and drove away.

"God dammit!" He yelled into the empty house, anger and disappointment were boiling at the surface as he grabbed his keys and started to go after her.

"Minho." Jae Woo said from behind him making him pause to look at her. "Give her some time. She'll be back."

"But she doesn't know why! She doesn't understand, she doesn't know how bad it was. She doesn't know....The last time we fought she almost died, what if she gets in another accident? What if she can't remember how to drive? What if--" He slid down the wall next to him as Jae sat on the floor with him. He pulled his knees up to his chest and silently cursed himself.

"She'll be ok."

Duri didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to leave. She was angry with herself for even letting herself think of falling for someone that would bring women home to the house he shared with his wife. It didn't matter if they got along or not. What mattered was that he clearly had no respect for her.

She didn't have anywhere to go, she realized. Picking up her phone she dialed the one person who she kind of knew.

"Anyeong!" Taeyeon yelled into the phone. "To what do I owe the--"

"Can I come over?" She sniffed loudly.

"What did he do now?" He said his mood instantly changing.

"Can I just come over, please? I can't go back there right now..." She said trying hard not to cry, she was failing miserably.

"Yes of course, I'll see you soon." He mumbled, trying to be soothing.

A few minutes later she pulled up to Taeyeon's house and he was already waiting outside. The second she got out of the car, he walked over and wrapped her up in a hug.

"What did he do?" He asked the moment they stepped in the house. He stood there tapping his foot against the floor with his arms crossed. "Cause I'll kill him if he hurt you."

"It's not that." She said looking down as she sat on the couch. "Things have been going really well the last month, we were trying to be friends, we talked, he kissed me, things were good."

"Wait, he what?" Taeyeon asked sitting forward on the chair in front of me, looking at me like I'd lost my mind.

"Then this morning I heard him talking to Jae Woo and he's talking about how he was bringing girls home right after we got married, and there's just so much in my head right now."

"Stay here for a few days. You need a break from him, Duri." Taeyeon said as he moved and sat on the couch next to her.

"I don't have any of my stuff here, Tae." She replied shaking her head.

"Oh yes you do. You used to stay here a couple nights a week just to get a break from him." He smiled.

"I wish I could just remember everything. A week ago I thought if I never remembered anything I'd be ok." She started to cry again as her frustration started to surface.

"Take a couple days, stay here. I like the company anyway. Living alone is borning." He laughed as he took her hand. "I have a date on Friday though, so I'm kicking you out by then." he laughed.

"Yeah, I don't wanna be here for that." She laughed back.

Later that night she sat back on the bed in Tae's spare room. She had found a laptop that he had told her was hers. She was almost afraid to turn it on, wondering what else she'd find out about Minho. She sat there for what felt like hours staring at it. He had called a couple times, but she didn't want to answer the phone. She'd had Taeyeon text him and let him know that she was safe, and didn't know when she'd be back.

Taeyeon refused to tell her what Minho had done and told her that his position on it was tainted, seening as he hated him to begin with. So, that brought her back to the computer sitting in her lap. She wanted to remember everything. She missed Minho's company. She missed how he had made her feel over the last month, but she wasn't going to feel comfortable around him until she could remember everything. Sure she could have let him explain. She wanted to when he begged, but she was also so hurt that running away was the first thing she thought of.

Groaning loudly and rubbing her face she opened the laptop "Just turn it on, Duri. It's not going to bite you." She said to herself as she hit the power button. The computer came to life and there was a desktop wallpaper showing her and Taeyeon, she guessed much younger. Maybe high school? She made a mental note to ask later why he was dressed as a slice of cheesecake. Looking at the desktop, there was a file named 'Journal', it almost seemed like an invasion of privacy to read it. But she needed to know the things she couldn't remember.

Journal Day 2
I'm married. I always thought I'd be happy to say that someday, but not today. He doesn't seem very nice, he's cold. Sure he's attractive, but that isn't going to get me anywhere. Taeyeon already hates him......

Journal day 10
I hate this. I'm living in a huge house with Minho and his housekeeper Jae Woo and I've never felt more alone in my life. He leaves for work, I stay here. Jae Woo is very sweet though I really like her. She's more caring towards me then my own mother was, and her food...I wish I could eat every time she cooks, but I don't want to gain too much weight. Especially not right now. How did my parents do this? Is this why my parents never really speak even when they're in the same room?

Journal day 20
I hate this man!! I just got home and he's making out with some woman on our couch, drunk. What the hell. How did I get stuck here like this?! What made my parents think he was going to take "good care of me"? He's literally cheating on me right in our living room! Is it even still cheating if we don't even give two craps about one another? Who knows, but two can play at this game.

She sighed loudly as she felt tears start building up in her eyes. Now she understood why Taeyeon hated him. She's sure she must have told him all of this stuff. She shook her head and skipped ahead a few entries.

Journal day 35
Minho came home drunk again last night, this time knocking on my door and insulting me. Well, more like falling into my door. I closed it and left him there on the floor. He doesn't deserve any help. If he wants to be wasted, he can stay there. I'm not his mother. I'm just the one unlucky enough to be stuck with his stupid ass. GOD I HATE HIM. Jae keeps telling me that he's not usually like this, but I don't know if I believe her. She said that he's been through a lot in the last few years, but that doesn't give him license to act like this.

Journal day 46
I have a DATE. Yep, last night Minho brought another girl home, still drunk both of them. So I called up this guy that gave me his number a few days ago and he's taking me to dinner. I told you two could play this game. He thinks he's got allllll the power, but no. Now I do.

Edit: The date was awful. He spent all of dinner talking about himself and how amazing he is. Minho doesn't need to know that part though.

Duri closed the laptop and pinched the bridge of her nose. No wonder she stayed at Taeyeon's a couple nights a week. God only knows what Minho was doing when she wasn't there. She laid down in the bed as Taeyeon peeked his head into the room. "You good over there?" He asked.

"Meh. I've been better." She sighed.

"I brought you cheesecake." He said holding out a plate to her.

"What is with you and cheesecake? Why is there a picture on my computer of you dressed as a slice of cheesecake?"

"One, it's superior to all other desserts, two you like it too, now eat." He laughed as she took it from his hands. "Also, it was halloween. You dressed up as an iced americano."

"Oh god." Duri said feeling the second hand embarrassment.

"It was our first high school halloween party. We were the only ones dressed up. Super embarassing" Taeyeon said with a mouth full of his own cheesecake. "We ended up leaving and walking around Ikea for 3 hours."

"Dressed like that?!" She wished the bed would swallow her whole.

"Yep. We were the weird kids. Always have been" He shrugged his shoulders. "We didn't care. Life is too short to be normal"

"Yeah. Life is too short to be married to someone like Minho" Duri said frustrated.

"I was going to tell you. Earlier when I called him, he didn't sound good, Duri. You know I'm not his biggest fan, but bro sounded like he was really upset."

"Oh I'm sure." She rolled her eyes annoyed.

"No, not like that. He was crying Duri. What did you do to the poor guy?"

She knew how upset he'd been when she overheard him with Jae, she just didn't guess that he'd still be upset. As much as she really wanted to stay away, a part of her heart was telling her to go back and hear him out. But maybe Taeyeon had a point, staying away for a couple days would be good for them both.

Two nights later, Duri woke up in a sweat, with her mind racing. As she sat there it was like puzzle pieces fitting into place as all of her memories slowly filed themselves back where they belonged. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she realized she was able to remember absolutely everything.
