Naeun's Point of View

"Explaining? I think I've got nothing to explain. It's not like you care anyway." I spat out.

"I'm just trying to be a good husband." He spoke

"Nice husband my ass." I told him amd glared at him.

"Excuse me?"  He raised his eyebrows

"Well, boo hoo. How about you start being a real nice husband for once by greeting me happy anniversary." I told him and he didn't talk back like usual.

"What? Cat got your tongue? Well, you don't care though. Now if you would excuse me, I need to go to sleep." I said before heading to bed and sleeping.

The first and the worst anniversary

I just sighed and went to sleep.

***

When I woke up, I found no one sleeping beside me. It wasn't like I was even hoping for anyone to be sleeping beside me. Then, I noticed the note on top of the bedside drawer.

Since I didn't appreciate and I didn't remember our anniversary you might as well use my black card for the day. My apologies again.

- Kim Taehyung

I thought carefully. 'I am not a gold digger but I might as well use this for today'. I thought and smiled at myself. I got up and did my early morning routine before going in my car and driving to the mall. When I got there, I looked at my list so I know what I'll do first.

To do list:

-Groceries
-Shopping clothes, make-up, etc.
-parlor
-spa

I headed to the supermarket inside the mall and bought everything I needed to make for dinner later. Then I went to shop for clothes. Since I didn't really like make-up that much, I just ended up buying one eyeliner and one lip tint. Shopping for clothes is another story. I shopped for cardigans, jeans, skirts, hoodies, dresses and crop tops then paid it using my own money. I went to the parlor and I decided to get a new hair color.

"Hey Naeun! So, what do you want today?" Jennie asked me. Jennie is one of my friends and she owns this parlor.

"New hair color. What do you think suits me?" I asked her then she smiled at me.

"Leave that to me." She told me and smirked.

"Oh my..... Gosh. Is this even me?" I asked myself as I stared in the mirror in front of me.

"It's nice, right?" Jennie asked as she sat beside me.

"Yes! I mean look at me! I'm like me but--"

"Hotter! For sure, Taehyung will be head over heels for you." Jennie told me and I cringed when she mentioned my husband's name.

"Anyways, since I'm really proud of what I've done to you. It's free!" Jenny exclaimed but I shook my head.

"No, I'm going to pay you Jennie Kim. Just like what you said a while ago. You've done this to me and the least I could do--" She cut me midway and I wasn't really expecting that.

"Is find me a boyfriend. Naeun, you don't owe me anything. Just find me a boyfriend and that's it." She said before walking away.

I just stared at her dumbfounded for a few minutes before she told me it's time for me to go out and find her a boyfriend. I just shook my head and chuckled before I bid her goodbye and went to the spa.

As I got home feeling relaxed from the stress, I was shocked to see Taehyung's car already parked in the parking area. I then realized that maybe his job finished early today. I went inside only to see him on the couch. Loosed tie and unbuttoned shirt was enough to make me feel awkward.

I cleared my throat and saw him sit straight and look at me in the eye.

"How was your day?" He asked me which is kind of weird.

"Fine. Oh and thanks for the card but I didn't need it." I told him and I handed him back his card. He stared at me for a few seconds and then put the card back in his wallet.

"So, if you'll excuse me, I'll just cook us dinner." I smiled at him before heading towards the kitchen.

I prepared us some simple dinner which included rice, cheese, corn, kimchi and fried chicken. We ate in silence before he spoke up.

"I see you changed your hair color." He told me and I nodded.

"Yes, I was a bit bored with the black color so I tried dark brown hair color." I told him and started eating again

"It suits you." He told me and I choked on my food.

He hurriedly goes up to me and brings me a glass of water and I took it from him. It was really odd of him to say that and to help me because the last time I remember was that me being alive is the last thing he wishes for.

"T-Thanks." 'Why did I stutter?!'

"I'm going on a short leave starting tomorrow. I just think that we should spend that time to celebrate our anniversary even if it's a late celebration." He told me and I almost puked.

Being a goody two shoes now?

I nodded then continued eating. Just then, my phone rang

Daehyunnieeee calling...

Accept | Reject

"Hello? Naeuniiieeee!!!" Daehyun shouted letting me put the phone farther from my ear.

"Who's that?" Taehyung asked but I pretended like I didn't hear him just now.

"Daehyun, what's the matter?" I asked him.

"Well, there's this formal party that I'm attending next week and I need to bring a girl. Since I'm single, I don't really have anyone to bring. If it's okay with Taehyung, can you be my date for the night?" He asked me. Well, I can't say no to a friend who's always been there for me.

"I'm sure he won't mind. Sure, just text me the address." I told him.

"No need, I'm going to pick you up. Bye!" Before I can even decline the offer, he ended the call.

"You do know that cheating behind your husband's back is not nice, right?" He stated and I inwardly gasped.

"Excuse me? I was just calling a friend! Maybe it's you who has a mistress! Please don't go making conclusions without concrete evidences." I lost my appetite and left the dining room.

So pissed.

"Dude are you fucking serious?!" Kai asked Taehyung and he just nodded.

"Bro, I know you were just forced in that shit hole but maybe you should try to put effort." Jungkook added.

"Yeah. When are you planning to love someone again after Yoon-" Chanyeol was cut midway by Taehyung.

"Don't try to fucking mention her name here." Taehyung said with gritted teeth and a threatening voice.

Chanyeol raised his hands in defeat. "Fine."

"But seriously Taehyung. Give her a chance. She's your fucking wife and forgetting your anniversary can seriously hurt her feelings." Chanyeol stated and Taehyung just groaned.

"Dude, we've been observing her-- Not in a weird way. We've seen her efforts just trying to put up with your bullshits. She's been delivering homemade food for you everyday. If you just tried to appreciate her cooking by eating it and not just giving it to us, maybe you'll finally appreciate her." Kai scolded Taehyung.

"I don't have a wife yet but all I can say hyung is that appreciate her before she gives up." They left Taehyung at the table to let him reflect on everything Naeun has done for her.

'Maybe I should give her a chance.' Taehyung thought as he looked over the bento box beside him.
