Naeun's Point of View

"I'll be back at midnight. Don't try to wait for me." That son of a -- I mean, my husband told me.

I mean, it's our anniversary today and I know this isn't working out for the both of us but I have to try. Sadly, every time I try to engage in a conversation with him, it just ends out being vut out short and awkward at the end. It's been a year since we've got married. 'Tied down forcefully' is a word that I rather prefer saying though.

We didn't really have a choice. We were strangers who were forced by their parents to get married. We were basically like inmates.

I mean, I've tried making efforts just like what my mom ordered me to do. But ut just ends up with him bringing another fling home or yelling at me (in a drunk state) telling me it was my fault his bachelor shit title was ruined.

"Sure." I replied shortly.

'It's been a while since I've stopped drinking. Maybe drinking one last time won't hurt, right?' I thought to myself. I started to pick a nice outfit but at the same time comfortable to wear. After feeling satisfied with my little make-over, I went downstairs and grabbed my car key and wallet; proceeding to lock the front door. I got inside my car and told the guards that I'll be back in a while and headed straight to the said club.

Minutes passed and I finally got there. As I got outside of my car, I could already hear the loud music coming all the way from the inside of the club. Now, I don't know why I'm a bit nervous while going in. Grinding sweaty bodies, loud music, the smell of alcohol. Gosh, I missed this so much. Being a wife of a fucktard is kinda' shit. Being a house wife 24/7, doing nothing and sleeping isn't my dream. Hell, I want to go outside travel and go clubbing. That husband of mine always come home early meaning I don't have a chance to sneak out of the house-- but luckily he is coming back late tonight which means fun time for me. I waved at my friends and started going closer to their seat slowly.

Narrator's Point of View

As Naeun goes to her friends' table, she didn't notice the pair of eyes staring right through her soul and she just continues to drink the screwdriver which was enough to make her slightly tipsy.

Taehyung's Point of View

Shitty life. That's what I have. I tried my best to impress them but after accomplishing one shit, they set another one for me. I mean yeah I'm rich but being rich also has it's disadvantages. Being rich means you have strict parents who set rules for you and you can't do anything but follow them. It sucks seeing other people do what they want while you're stuck up in an office filled with money-obsessed people. Luckily, this day, an acquaintance invited me to a club called Sundown just a few blocks away from my house. He said that I deserve a vacation or at least an escape from work.

After parking my car, I locked it and headed to the main entrance of the club. I saw my acquaintances a few table away from where I was standing. I walked to the seat while maintaining my composure. 

"Hey man! Glad you made it!" Jungkook greeted me, obviously he's already drunk guessing on the number of bottles on the table. There was also Kai and Chanyeol, my business partners talking about something and I decided not to interrupt.

"So, any plans on getting laid tonight?" Kai asked us as he chugged down a bottle of beer.

"Nah, I'm loyal to my Baekhyunnie and I wouldn't want him to be angry at me." Chanyeol answered. Chanyeol is married to his secretary Baekhyun. Unlike me, his parents lets him have his freedom and he's gay--Yes but it doesn't bother me. The world's changed and so did the people. I don't really care if someone is straight or bisexual or gay. As long as they are not a nuisance.

"You are such a dork goody two shoes husband, Park Chanyeol." Just then, Chanyeol decided to fight fire with fire.

" I could say the same to you Mr. My Kyungie is my one and only and I never cheated on him and never will!" Oh yeah, about that. Kai is also gay but as I said before-- It doesn't bother me.

The truth is, the four of us had been friends since high school meaning we've done rebellious things together and we really know each other. We didn't get to the point where we've tried drugs like cocaine or meth-- We knew our limits and we know better than to go against it.

"Well, since I'm not like you old trolls who already got themselves wives, I already have eyes on a special prize." Jungkook smirked and pointed at a table at the other side of the club. We all looked at where he was pointing and he was pointing at a blonde-haired girl who was laughing with her friends including a very familiar face.

I looked with narrow eyes and I was somewhat amused of who I saw. When did she even get here? 'Why do I even care?' I asked myself before I shook off the thoughts away and just drank a beer to make me stop thinking about her.

Hours already passed, Chanyeol and Jongin already went home. Jungkook was nowhere to be seen and I'm just in my seat still looking at the woman who was wasted and dancing to the resounding music inside the club. I don't want to watch her but I'm being a good husband. 

Narrator's Point of View

A few minutes after Naeun got on the dancefloor, she felt someone grinding on her. Because she was in a state of insobriety, she didn't think twice about facing the stranger and putting her hands on his neck as she started to tease the unknown man further. That's when a certain someone knocked out her dance partner making her gasp because of shock.

"No. One.. Touches.... What's.... MINE." A familiar voice said.

Naeun looked at the man getting punched to death and she intervened as she tried to stop the person on top of the guy from punching her dance partner. When the said man stopped, he stood up and Naeun felt stiff. She was caught by her husband, not that she cares about it though.

"Let's go." Without further ado, Taehyung left the club with Naeun, dragging her to his car.

"Taehyung, you don't have to do this I brought my--

"Shut up." Taehyung said coldly and Naeun stopped talking since she's really overwhelmed with what just happened.

When they got home Naeun immediately went to the bathroom and took a shower. After a few minutes, she went outside and saw Taehyung by the bedside.

"You, Kim Naeun, have a lot of explaining to do."
