They sat on a bench in silence, still a bit tired due to their escaping from Eunhyuk just to see each other. Since that night, Eunhyuk forbid Sungmin to see Kyuhyun, but the girl doesn't have the heart to ignore her husband when he is already calling her. They were just thankful to Donghae for letting them slip just this once.
Though she is still mad at Kyuhyun for not calling her for four days, it kind of dissipated the moment she knew that the man was looking for her.
She really is excited to see him since she misses the guy so hard; however, it looks like she's the only one having that feeling. Seeing the serious look on her husband's face, she knew that something unpleasant will happen.
"Are you okay? I heard that you were in the hospital," Kyuhyun started the conversation, "I'm sorry I didn't come."
She was waiting for an explanation, but got nothing from the guy.
She heavily sighed as she placed her hand on her bulgeoning tummy, trying to control the anxiety she feels, "I almost had a miscarriage, Kyu," She looked up to prevent her tears from falling. "The doctor said that they might not be able to save the baby if this happens again... I was really scared..."
Kyuhyun wasn't still saying anything, but Sungmin could feel his gaze on her.
"We called you many times, but you didn't pick up. The oppas searched for you, but they couldn't find you. Where were you? What were you doing all this time?"
The brunet looked down and played with his fingers, mumbling, "I'm confused..." The woman scoffed.
"Confused of what, of this? Didn't it ever occur to you that I'm confused as well?"
Kyuhyun sighed, repeating the action of his wife earlier before facing the girl, a determined expression is on his face. He held her hands and said, "Min, let's elope. I mean, let's go far away and live peacefully with just the two of us and our son. Besides, we're already married so I have the right to take you."
"And what, leave my brother at a time like this? Kyu, as much as I loved the offer, but I have to be beside my oppa now that he needs my support more than ever."
"But we don't have anything to do with this..."
"You most probably don't, but I do. The justice to my parents' death is what we're talking about right now. And I want to know on who really took our parents' life, leaving me and oppa grow up without a parent's nurture. I want to know who made our life miserable and I want him to pay for it." Kyuhyun could see the anger on Sungmin's face, and it made him get more confused.
"Do... Do you think that my father is the mastermind?" he finally asked the question that was bugging him.
"Yes. I believe Kangin-oppa's father. Do you?"
Kyuhyun leaned on the backrest of the bench, letting go of the other's hand. "I'm sorry, but I don't. My father may have been harsh and difficult to me, but I honestly don't think that he could kill someone."
Surprisingly, Sungmin didn't shed a tear; she expected his answer. With the way, the guy acted, she knew that this is what he is thinking.
She understands him. No matter how you change the world, the fact that Cho Younghwan is his father won't change. Family first before anything. Kyuhyun loves his father even if he denies it.
If this were to happen on Hyukjae or her parents, if ever they are still alive, she will think the same way. Innocent until proven guilty.
It is hard for the both of them, really. They love each other, but they have to choose one.
And they chose their family.
"I'm sorry, Kyu, but I guess we have to part ways for now,"
The guy cocked an eyebrow, not getting what the woman said, "What do you mean?"
"We are on different sides. We can't live together in a setting like this. Please don't tell me that we won't fight about it because we will. I don't want that."
"Are you leaving me?" Sungmin wanted to hug and never let go of this man after seeing his scared and broken image. But she chose not to, because if she did, she might take her decision back.
"For now," she held his hand, while her free hand reached her lover's cheek and caressed it, "After all of these, no matter what the outcome will be, I promise to come back to you... if you still want me back."
"I don't want you to leave me." Sungmin now feels like she is talking to a child, and she is the mother. She imagined talking to their son like this.
"I don't want this too, but this is for the better..." Once again, she is holding her tears back, "Kyu, please let me go. I won't keep you from your son because you are still his father, and you are still my husband. I don't have any plans on filing a divorce."
At this, Kyuhyun smiled, but there was an obvious sadness on it.
"On one condition," Sungmin blinked her eyes twice, her chest feeling slightly lighter when Kyuhyun's grin turned to something mischievous; she knows that kind of face.
"Make love with me,"
~~~~~~~~~
The sounds she makes were like music to his ears, urging him to plunge in deeper and faster her until they reach their climax. Since they put out all of their emotions on this love making of them, it was the best orgasm they had.
They cuddled each other, feeling the warmth of their partner, inhaling their addicting scent, savoring this moment for they won't be doing this for a long time, and they will definitely miss this feeling.
However, they have to separate for Sungmin's brother might know of them being together and search for them. He doesn't want to stress his pregnant wife.
At the corner of the street, there he dropped Sungmin. They didn't let go of their hands, because they know that once they let go, they won't be seeing each other since then.
"Kyu, I have to go now,"
"I know."
She smiled. "Please let go of my hand."
"I know." But he still held on to her.
She giggled. "Kyu..."
"Kiss me first."
Shaking her head, she tiptoed to give the man's lips a peck, but Kyuhyun pushed her to him and deepened the kiss, which she didn't reject. She actually wrapped her arms around his neck to prolong it.
"I will miss you, Kyu."
"I will miss you more."
"Goo-"
Kyuhyun placed a finger on Sungmin's lips, stopping her from speaking. He then grinned and said, "Don't say goodbye because we will still meet, right?"
Instead of uttering words, she once again met her lips with his in a passionate way, letting tears run down her cheeks.
This will be over soon, and we'll finally be a happy family... I promise.
~~~~~~~~~
"Leave her."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I will not bother her family and file them Libel for accusing me of being a criminal."
"That's it? I'll be sacrificing my life."
"I'll do whatever you want."
Kyuhyun barged in his father's office again; however this time, it seemed that the old man expected his arrival.
"There. She left me already. You happy now?"
His father sarcastically chuckled, shaking his head, "My son really have a soft heart for that girl that you want her to leave you instead. Such a martyr," He ignored the younger's glare and went on, "So, are you guys going to divorce?"
And so, Kyuhyun also ignored the elder as if he didn't hear the last sentence.
"You said you'll do whatever I want, right?" Younghwan nodded.
"Then I don't want you meddling on my marriage," His father was about to say something, but he spoke again, "And I want to go to Taiwan."
~~~~~~~~~
Sungmin yawned as she walked towards the door to see on who is the one knocking, her eyes widening in disbelief and shock when she saw Kyuhyun's mother smiling gently at her.
