FAKE WIFE

"Love is a serious mental disease"

---------------------------------

After a long journey, I finally made it. I did wake her up because to she had to walk too. But after we continued, she did fell asleep again. It was hurting my back but that was fine. I looked at Hyura who was still sleeping beside me. I didn;t want to wake her up yet as she was sleeping comfortably. So I went inside to check wether everything was ready or not. “Okay checked. Now, help me to bring our luggages into our room.” I said to the personal assistant provided by the hotel to every residences. He helped me with the luggages while I was carrying my Hyura into our room.

She opened her eyes by the time we were entering our room. Her eyes widen as she knew that she wasn’t familiar with the room. She knew it wasn’t hers. “Jimin, where are we?” She asked while sitting on the bed with petals on it. It wasn’t what I requested, it was the room booked by my assistant. “We’re on holiday. Don’t you like it?” I asked. She replied with a smile; a weak one. I noticed that and asked her to just relax.

Hyura's pov

As I was still curious and shocked of what’s happening, my eyes were wandering around the room and found two luggages belonged to both of us. Quickly, I went to check what did he bring inside the luggage for me. Luckily, what he brought suited my taste.But the was something missing. “Jimin, these are all fine and okay. But you didn’t bring my...” I said while making a sign with looking at my bra to make him understand. He laughed as he finally knew what I was talking about. “We’ll go and buy them later okay? Are you expecting me to bring them for you? I was totally forgot about that. I’m a man so you know, man doesn’t wear that.” He explained the reason why he forgot to bring them for me. That was sucks as that was the most important part after all. I chuckled because I thought he was so clumsy and that was funny.

But the was still something that had been lingerng around my mind. He said he didn’t want to go for a holiday together, why did he bring me here? Was it because I had a fever? “Hyura, we’re going out this evening to buy all the things that you need okay.” He said while walking towards the bed to take his rest as he was driving all the way to here. So he must be tired. “Whatever. Jimin, I wanna go out for a while.” I said while applying lipstick on my lips and tied my hair into ponytail. He sat on the bed while looking at me who was getting ready to go out. “No, you have to take a rest. Let’s sleep first.” He said while patting the surface of the bed beside him. I turned my body to face him. “I’m not asking your permission, hubby. I am just informing you so that you’ll know.” I said while rolling my eyes and continued to get ready. His face was heating up as I mentioned the word ‘hubby’. What a really weird man.

As I opened the door of our room and put on my shoe, I heard him shouting from inside the room, “You have a husband, don’t flirt with any guy or I’ll tell your parents.” He shouted. I chuckled because of his words. Why did he care all of sudden? “Wow there’s a lot of handsome guys even in the hotel.” I shouted back just to hear him sighing. I laughed and continued walking; leaving that annoying brat alone inside the room. I walked out from the lift and took my seat at the couch at the lobby of the hotel. I wasn’t feeling well yet and I still wanted to walk, to make myself to feel better. As I was sitting there alone, someone was walking towards my direstion. That person stood up without saying anything. So I decided to turned my head to look at that person. “Is the seat taken?” He asked, giving me his sweet smile. I smiled back before answering him. “Oh no, you can sit.” I said as if the seat was mine huh.

“So, you come alone here? For holiday or you’re working here?” He asked; trying to be friendly with me. I just wanted to talk to him as he looked very nice and soft-spoken. “Yes, I’m on my holiday. And you?” I asked; asking him the same question again. Everytime he wanted to start talking, he will definitely smiled first. That was so cute and sweet. “I’m a teacher, I came here with my students. We’re having a trip.I’m Gary, Kang Gary.” He said. Introducing his name to me and telling me that he was a teacher. That’s cute even more. He must be a very sweet teacher! “I’m Hyura.” I said and we both smiled.

“You said you’re here for holiday, alone? I mean it’s very rare to hear that.” He said. I was still thinking of that, I didn’t want to tell him that I was having a holiday with my husband because it didn’t feel like having a holiday with him at all, he had been sleeping while I was here. But it’s weird if I said I’m alone. “Oh no, it’s like a family trip.” I said; thinking that sounded better. He was nodding his head showing that he got it while I was smiling cheepishly at him. “I see. You should go to Myeongjin Jeonbok’s restaurant. They serve a really good abalones.” He said making me excited to eat the abalones quickly! Since Jeju was famous with their abalones, and he just suggested a very nice restaurant, I did want to try it! “Oh my god! I feel like going now. Tell me more.” I said, finally we had a topic to talk. It didn’t make us awkward to each other anymore. We felt like friends more than strangers. “Dongmun Fish Market, we’ve been there yesterday. It’s huge and there’s a lot of options. A bit smelly if you don’t like it.” He said. I shook my head; I am okay with fish market. So I didn’t mind going anywhere.

“No I am fine. I would like to try every single thing in Jeju.” I said excitedly. Gary chuckled as he saw my reaction. He was a little bit shy but friendly. “Oh one more, if you want western foods, you can go to Mexican Macho Grill. They got good reviews from tourists. But I didn’t go there yet, not enough time to go.” He said and both of us smiled. I was imagining me enjoying the foods. Jeju was the islands of food heaven! I loved it! We continued to talk to each other, laughing together. It was fun.

Jimin's pov

It had been half an hour, Hyura still didn’t come back from her walk. So I decided to go and find her because I was so worried as she still had her fever. I walked out from my room and locked the door. While walking into the lift, I dialed her number but she didn’t even pick up the call. I’ve been calling her for a few times, but the calls were all rejected. As I arrived at the ground floor, I was about to walk towards the entrance door of the hotel, but my eyes caught a ver familiar figure which was Hyura who was sitting there with a guy. I stood there while looking at both of them first. They seemed knowing each other for a long time as they talked very well. “Is she flirting with that guy?” I asked myself.

Hyura's pov

As both of us were talking to each other about Jeju, out of the blue, a boy from nowhere was running towards our direction while shout Gary’s name. The voice was very familiar. It atrracted me to turn my head and to look at the boy’s direction. The boy stopped running as he was looking at me. He forze, but after a few seconds, he ran to me and gave me a hug. His smell was the same as before. “Seungri!” I said while hugging him tightly as I missed him so much. We didn’t get to spend time together during my wedding day as I was very busy and he also had to go faster. But we finally met again, I missed him, so damn much! “Yes aunty. I miss you, like a lot!” He said before giving me a quick peck on my right chjekk. It made me smile even more. He’s cute as always. “I miss you more.” I said and we hugged again. Gary was looking at both of us confusely. He must had no ida what happened. “Where is uncle?” Seungri asked while standing in front of me and hold both of my hands.

“He’s sleeping right now.” I said and he pouted as he heard what I just said. It was like he wanted to meet his uncle so much. He must been missing him a lot. “We don’t have much time here, aunty. I wanna see uncle.” He said while pouting. He was very cute that I felt like hugging him all the time. I did give him a hug to comfort him because he was missing Jimin so much at that time. As we were hugging, someone did the fake cough. “So you guys must been knowing each other for so long,right?” He said. Seungri was grinning while both of us chuckled. I nodded my head while patting Seungri’s head. “Aunty Hyura is my uncle’s wife.” Seungri said. I glared my eyes at Seungri and Gary looked a little bit shocked as he heard what Seungri just said.

“You’re married?”

I nodded my head with smiling to answer Gary’s short question.

“Yes, she’s my wife.” All of sudden, Jimin’s voice came out of nowhere. He was standing behind my back and Seungri looked very excited and extremely delighted as he saw his uncle was there with us. Wasn’t him sleeping inside th room? Did he overheard our conversation just now? How long did he stand there? Seungri who was very excited quickly jumped clinging at his uncle. But Jimin was standing there without giving any reaction. “Who are you?” Three words came out from his mouth while he was looking at Seungri. The smile at Seungri’s face slowly faded away and he looked at me after that. I sighed. “Jimin, stop playing around. He misses you so much.” I said and after that Jimin laughed while hugging Seungri. The smile that just faded away slowly can be seen at the little kid’s face again. They were very sweet and cute together. While they were playing together, me and Gary were talking to each other; continuing what we talked before. It felt very nice to have someone to talk with just like Gary. After a few moments, Seungri walked towards me just because Jimin didn’t play with him. Jimin was on the phone, that was why he stopped playing with Seungri. He seemed serious while on the phone, I thought he had someting to handle at the office.

“Sorry, Hyura but we need to go now. We’ve been talking for a long time. And it’s really nice to meet you.” Gary said and both of us stood up. “I should thank you for giving me such a very important information about Jeju. Thank Gary, till we meet again.” I said and bowed at him. Seungri hugged me bfore he walked away. I’ll definitely miss him. He wanted to hug Jimin for the last time before he walked away but Jimin was still on the phone. “Bye aunty.” Seungri said while waving his hand and gave me a flying kiss. I waved my hand towards their direction until the were further than us. After that I took my seat again on that couch as I was waiting for Jimin.

“I’m so sorry. My friend was sick so I had no time. Sorry. What about we meet tonight?” He said; talking with the person on the phone. It must be a girl as he talked nicely. ‘My friend was sick.’ Did he mean, me? I was sick and he was taking care of me. So am I his friend? While I was talking with another guy, he introduced himself as my husband. But to his girl friend, he just mentioned me as a friend. I sighed. I wasn’t jealous but seeing him priotised that person more than Seungri really made me angry.

We both walked into our room right after that. Jimin walked into the bathroom to take his shower. Oh I forgot that we wanted to go out to buy things for me. I was reading a book online through my phone while sitting on the bed. After a few minutes, Jimin walked out from the bathroom and started to change his shirt by wearing something nicer. He didn’t say anything as he grabbed his car keys without even saying anything to me. I stopped him before he managed to walk out of the room. “Jimin, where are you going?” I asked. He looked at me before answering me. “I’m meeting my friend.” He said.

“Will you be late? Because I can’t take my shower yet. I need to buy it first. You said we’re going out this evening.” I said; asking him and also reminding him about what he just planned. He said that we’re going out that everning. “Oh about that, I’ll leave you my card. You go alone, okay. I’m sorry.” He said while taking out his credit card from his wallet and placed it on the table near the door. He closed the door and left me alone. So I had to go alone? Hmm. A few seconds later, the door was opened, revealing Jimin’s face again. He looked directly at me. “Hyura, make sure to eat first and take your medicine. I’ll go now, bye I love you.” He said and shut the door. My face was heating up. Was it because of the three words that he just said?

After a few hours, I got ready to go out as it was getting darker and I had to go out for shopping. I walked out of the hotel and walked alone. It was very boring. If Jimin was there, I’ll definitely argued with him as always. “I should stop thinking of him.” I said to myself as I was smiling after realising that I just thought of him all of sudden. He didn’t call me so I was thinking of buying some foods and I wanted to eat them while watching the sun set at the beach. Gary said the sun set was ethereal.

I bought fried abalones and watermelon juice and brought them to the beach. I was sitting on the a branch laying on the sand while mesmerizing the beauty of sun set. People came here with their paartner and family while I was there alone. My married life was normal because me and Jimin didn’t act lovey dovey just like th other couples were acting. “It’s getting dark soon, I should go now. Jimin must be at the hotel already.” I said and stood up. I walked past a couple and noticed them kissing each other. As I walked past them, I sensed the smell of his scent. I knew that belonged to Jimin. I was being curious and turned my head to take a look again. It was Jimin and it’s confirmed.

I walked towards them and stood behind Jimin’s back waiting for them to stop kissing. So that was the girl that he had been talking with through the phone until he ignore Seungri just like that? She’s more important than everything, he left me just to meet this girl. “It’s not just a simple meeting. You are on a date, Jimin?” I said; causing both of them to turn around and looked at me. Jimin’s eyes widen as he saw me while that girl was still standing there confusely. “Even if I have no feeling towards you, but I feel backstabbed.” I said while taking a few steps closer towards them. My eyes became watery and at the last step that I took, the tears fall out from my eyes. I tried to hold the rest of them from flowing. “Thank you, Jimin. You must be very happy right now.” I said and walked away. Jimin didn’t say anything. As I was a few steps away from them, I stopped walking and said, “Namjoon Oppa said I should try to love you. But I think, that will never happen in my life. We are destined to hate each other for the entire of our lives.” I said and started to continue walking; leaving both of them.

Jimin's pov

I knew it was okay to lose Nuryn rather than losing Hyura. But we just about to start our relationship. I never told Nuryn that I am married and I even warned Hyura to not to disturb my relationship with any girls. But what she did just now, was just ruining everything. I turned to face Nuryn, I knew she wanted my explanation. “Listen, I can explain.” I said. She smirked at the moment I said that to her. With both of her hands were folding on her chest, she looked straightly into my eyes. “Who is she? You guys seem very close.” Nuryn asked. I remained silent until I thought that there was nothing to hide anymore. “What’s your relationship with her?” I knew, she didn’t try to be busy body but she needed to know my status.

“Sorry for not telling you earlier. She’s Hyura, my wife. We just got married.” I said and Nuryn looked very pissed off with the real thing that I just told her. She stared at me with a very serious look before both of us sat down for a while. “She is not your girlfriend, but she’s more important than that Jimin. If she’s just your girlfriend, I am totally fine.” She said. Her words were hitting me from my back. I thought, she must be wanted to say that if Hyura was only my girlfriend, she will stayed. But just because she’s my wife, she had nothing to do anymore. “That was just only an arranged marriage, Nuryn. Trust me, I never liked her.” I said, trying to explain to her what I actually felt. I heard her sighing, then I knew that seh wasn’t interesrted anymore.

“Jimin, I am a girl. I really understand what Hyura might feel.” She said. Nuryn had no idea how we hated each other. She must be thinking that Hyura liked me while she did not. We just never fall for each other. She never liked me. “The person that you have to love is her. Not me , Jimin. I am just a stranger in your relationship with her. Try to love her, because looking into her eyes, I know she feels dissapointed and I know she cares about you.” Nuryn continued explaining. I was still thinking of what she just said. But to me, Hyura will never fall in love with me. She will remained as who she was.

“I’m truly sorry, Jimin. I know someday you’ll love her more than you love yourself. I have to go.” She continued and walked away. My heart was saying ‘it’s okay’ but my mind was still thinking that because of Hyura, She left me just like that. I mean, that was right. If she didn’t come, things like that won’t be happening.

I didn’t know what to do anymore, I was extremely mad ad Hyura.

Hyura's pov

I walk to our hotel and started to pack all the things into my luggage. With the tears that kept on falling down on my cheeks, I wiped the tears off but it kept on falling. While I was packing, the door was opened. Jimin was standing in front of the door while looking at me packing my stuffs. “Where do you think you’re going? After ruining everything, you want to leave? Over my dead body, Hyura!” He shouted as he walked closer towards me. He took my luggage as he was trying to stop me from going out. But with his harsh words, I thought I had to get out from there. I will be hurting myself even more if I chose to stay. I grabbed my luggage from his hand and made my way to the door of the room. “I know I cannot stand of you by the time we were told that you are going to be my husband before this. You are nice but your words are harsh.” I said and walked out of the room. I finally satisfied with what I just said.

There was nowhere for me to go. I had no destination and I had no one to contact. I just followed my instict. As I was walking, my phone was ringing continuously. I looked at the caller id, it was Jimin, that’s why I didn’t answer the call.

But the last caller was my mom, I had to answer her call even though she might be calling me on behalf of Jimin. “Where are you? Why are you guys fighting again, Hyura? Jimin is worried about you, please go back to him.” My mom said. Worried? Worried his ass. I knew he was just saying that to play victim, as to make my mom believed that he did nothing. “I need to let myself think first, mom, I need some spaces. Please understand.” I said and my mom agreed to let me find myself some times to think. But she was hoping that I could made up my mind to be back to him.

The call was ended with me sighing; hoping that luck will always be with me.
