Chapter 6
When I wake up the next morning I can't open my eye lids because of the light. Every time I try to open my eyes my head starts throbbing. Slowly slowly I succeed to open my eyes. The 1st thing that I see is a glass of lemonade, a bottle of water and some pills on the side table along with a note which I suppose is by Changmin. I sigh and sit on the bed grabbing my head as I feel the pain again. When I feel a little better I take the note he left for me.
Please drink the lemonade and take aspirin. It will make you feel better. I know I am no one to say all these to you. But it's a request. So please?
I feel sad reading the letter as whatever happened last night went through my mind. I look at the other side of the bed. He didn't sleep here last night and I am sure if I go to any other room the beds are all made. Because I know he had not slept last night at all.
Who are you now to tell me what I can do and what not?
I want to slap myself. Changmin should have done it. Why didn't he? The moment I asked him that he should have knocked some sense in my mind and tell me that he is my husband and this is his house and I shouldn't have brought my ex home while he was away. But he didn't say anything. Instead I hurt him. We are life partners now. May be we haven't started consider each other that YET but that doesn't mean we.. I mean I (he never crossed his line) have the right to cross my line. How could I bring my ex-boyfriend in this house when my husband was away? I could have called my Mom or Junsu or Chunnie to pick me up. And my husband who came home early (which I am assuming because he was worried about me) saw me almost being kissed by another man which I never allowed him to do after our wedding day. He never tried to kiss me or make any kind of sexual contact to make me uncomfortable. That man had to witness the horrible scene of his husband being kissed by his ex. He must have felt so frustrated. Now as I can think clearly I think he had the full right to scold me last night and give orders like that. I say he should have done more than that. He should have slapped me... Punched my face instead of Yunho's face.
I feel like crying right now. How could I do this to him. He is being so patient from the very beginning. He thinks about me all the time no matter what we are doing. What I like, what I eat, what I think.. He takes care of everything. But what I do in return? I just make things hard for him.
Why Changmin, why? Why are you so good? You make me want to hate myself.
I tear rolled down my cheek thinking about how selfless he was. I wipe the tear away. This is not the time to be emotional. I have to make thing right.
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I am in Changmin's office for the first time, going to his room being led by his pretty secretary. I am looking around the whole office and to be very honest I am kind of amused. The office is huge and full of pretty things. No wonder he never forced me to work. But I am sure it didn't come for free. He has worked hard to earn all these.
My poor Hubby! Works so hard for us and I am so useless.
Finally we are in front of his room. I can see him from the glass door. His eyes are closed and he is holding his head as if he has a bad headache.
Did I do this to you Minnie?
The pretty girl knocks on the door and opens a little to give him the message.
"Sir, someone is here to meet you."
"I told you Lucy. I don't want to meet anyone. I am not feeling well. Please tell them to come some other time."
He says with his eyes closed and turn his back to us so that we can't see his face anymore. The girl is about to say him that it's me but I stop her and silently mouth her thank you. She gets her queue to leave. I enter the room and close the door silently. I can still see his reflection on the huge glass windows. Still holding his head while frowning.
Do you have a headache Minnie? Do you want me to give you a massage? Do you want to sleep?
I wanted to say those words. But nothing came out. But I have to say something right?
"Lunch time Minnieee..."
I tried to sound cheerful. May be if I act normal everything will be fine.
He turned back and stares at me as if he just saw a ghost. The surprise is clear on his face. But all I can see is his red swollen eyes. Did he cry last night? I am sure he did. I hurt him pretty badly. Didn't I?
I approach to his table and set the paper bag on it taking out the take away boxes stuffed with food. I know he is looking at me but I don't have the courage to meet his eyes yet.
"What are you doing here?"
His voice is so cold. As if he doesn't care. I don't like it. I want my old Minnie back. Whose voice was full of emotions even last night.
"Well I woke up this morning and didn't feel like cooking. So I went to this restaurant near your office and thought why not we have lunch together?"
I smile at him but he doesn't say anything. Just keeps staring at my every movement. While putting his food and chopsticks in front of him I noticed his untouched cup of coffee and the sandwich. I want to scold him for doing this to himself. It is my fault. Scold me.. punish me. Why is he punishing himself by not eating his beloved food?
When I am done setting our lunch on the table I across him and pick up my chopsticks. He still doesn't move.
"What? Aren't you going to eat? Please don't tell me the food monster is not hungry."
I fake a laugh. He sighs and picks up the chopsticks only to put them back again. Then he opens a file and starts reading something.
"Minnie?"
"I'll eat in a while Jaejoong. I am busy. I don't have any time to waste."
"Okay," - I mange to whisper.
But you were sitting here doing nothing a while ago. Do you want me to leave? I feel like crying. He has never ignored me like this before. Not even for a second. I want my old Minnie back please?
He leaves the table and goes to one of his shelves and takes out a file and starts looking over it. I stare at his back, blinking a few times. I don't know what to do. I don't think I can do this anymore. I stand up, ran to him and hug him from the behind. My cheeks is pressed on his back and I can feel him stiff inside my arms. Then I do the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. I start crying, wetting his shirt. He doesn't say anything.
"I am sorry. Oh my Minnie I am sooo sorry." - I keep saying sorry between my sobs.
"I didn't... Didn't mean anything I said last night... You know that right? I just... I don't have any excuse really... I don't know why I agreed when Yunho offered me to take home."
Finally I hear him sigh.
"I never thought... He would.. you know.. he would take advantage of me like that. I am sorry Minnie. Thank y-you... Thank you for saving me... Thank you for being there when I needed you the most. And you have the full right... To scold me.. to order me to do things. You're my best friend... My husband... and I won't drink anymore... Not without you... I promise. To be honest... I was scared... I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there last night. I am sorry... Sorry... sorry..."
I was going to keep saying sorry like a mantra but Changmin decides to turn back to hug me back. I bury my face in his chest and start crying again. He starts stroking my hair.
"Ssshhh... It's ok. You're fine Joongie. We're fine. I won't let anything happen to you." - his promising whispers make me close my eyes in relief... content? I don't know it is. We just hug each other tightly for a very long time.
When my crying comes to a full stop suddenly everything becomes too quiet. My ear which is very close to Min's heart can hear his heartbeat. His strokes in my hair are getting slower. I know he has started to feel awkward again.
"Minnie?"
"Yes?"
"I am hungry. Can we eat."
"Ahh... yes."
He lets go of the hug first. He takes my hands and drags me to the table. Instead of sitting on his own chair he sits right beside me and open the box to see what I brought for him.
"I hope you like Chowmein. You never said what your favorite food is so I just thought I'll make you eat my favorite today?"
"Oh I likeeee Chowmein." - I raise an eyebrow at him.
"No seriously. I love like it. And now that I know it your favorite I am in love with it."
I hit him playfully before turning my attention on my food ignoring the fact that my heart is beating so fast that it will explode anytime.
