"From my standpoint the past eight years has been all about you! College was all about you! Moving to Seoul was for you! Getting married my sophomore year in college was for you!"

His face hardened and I could've swore his eyes turned as red as blood. "That's bullshit and you know it," he gritted through his teeth.

The adrenaline was coursing through my arteries and my heart was hammering. I shut my eyes and spoke, "Taejoon, whenever you wanted something in the past you somehow managed to get it done. Don't use time and work as an excuse. You found time to go back to that club. You make time to play golf and drink with your friends."

"You want the finer things in life Roseanne. I have to work for them. You want Cartier, Chanel and fucking four thousand dollar designer shoes. This is the price I have to pay to get them; long hours and no time for you. I'm doing the best I can!" he fumed. "You always need so much fucking attention. Give me a fucking break!"

"You're not in this alone. I bring a check home too. You work all the time for yourself because you can't stand to lose at anything but keep this up Taejoon and you're going to lose your wife."

I slammed the door as I walked out.

I could feel my face burning with rage. Tears threatened to spill over but I kept them at bay.

I don't know if our fight was his fault or mine. Both parties had their own perspective but at that point I could only understand mine. I could only understand that he handed me over to another person. I stupidly accepted because I was angry with him. He tried to apologize by buying me a ridiculously expensive bracelet. Because I couldn't stop thinking about Lisa, I was too distracted to care when he was trying to talk. Then Taejoon took me back to the club hoping Lisa would tell him what happened between us but it ended in Lisa and I fucking, again. And me lying and Taejoon and I fighting.

I didn't know what to do. I was so lost. I felt so lost.

After I changed into my gym clothes, I picked up the phone and made a call.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"You're fine, Sweetheart. What's going on?" Jungkook asked.

I exhaled. "Taejoon and I just had a huge fight and I basically threatened him with a divorce."

I grabbed my keys off the rack and locked the
door behind me.

"What happened?"

"I slept with Lisa again. She hasn't stopped texting or calling me."

I pressed the call button for the elevator and waited.

"I've been telling you doll. Everyone needs those slutty college years," Jungkook said making me chuckle. "You need time to discover what you want and what you need before you settle down with a nice, boring man."

I rolled my eyes. "Taejoon isn't boring. He's just Taejoon."

The doorman gestured toward the cab that was coming toward me. Silently, asking if I needed a cab.

I nodded.

"What are you doing now?" Jungkook asked.

"I'm on my way to the gym. Hopefully, sweat and overexertion will keep me from doing something stupid."

I gave the cabbie directions and he pulled off.

"Unless, of course, you run into Jaehyun.Then you're in trouble. It's late. The gym will be secluded. It's basically just going to be you and him. Your tits will be bouncing up and down on the treadmill. He's going be grunting and sweating..."

I laughed hysterically. "Kookie shut up. You're not helping."

"Who said I was trying to help. I'm trying to live vicariously through you."

"What for? You're getting more action than I am."

"Because watching you transform into a badass, and finally living for you is so fucking entertaining."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Before Taejoon, it was Chanyeol and your father dominating your life. It's no coincidence that you chose Lisa. The exact replica of your brother and father."

"First, that's disgusting. Second, you don't even know what Lisa looks like. And third, Lisa chose me. Not the other way around."

"When you were describing Lisa all I saw was Chaneyol. Minus the black hair."

I handed the driver his cab fare and climbed out of the taxi.

"Lisa was frank about wanting you but Jaehyun, Taejoon's buff clone was just as obvious in his pursuit and who did you choose?" Jungkook asked.

"I-I....he....we. Taejoon doesn't look like Jaehyun."

"You chose Lisa because you've always had a thing for that type of person. Your father wasn't having that so you settle for a nice boring guy."

"I did not settle."

There was some truth to what he was saying but I didn't want to believe it.

What Jungkook suggested was not only twisted but dysfunctional.

"Are you sure you don't want to workout with me?" I asked changing the subject.

"Positive,"

"Well, I'm here. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Bye, doll."

"Bye."

As I walked up toward the gym I noticed a black Lincoln parked outside. The man leaning against the car, smoking a cigarette looked strangely familiar but I couldn't pinpoint where we met.

"Hello, Miss," he said as I walked by.

"Hi."

Where I have seen him before? I asked myself.

Maybe he drives Taejoon's boss or something.

I made my way into the ladies locker room and pulled my hair up. I retrieved my armband for my phone from my locker and I slipped my phone inside. As Jungkook predicted, the gym was secluded. The only other person I noticed was a girl working out on the machine in front of me. I couldn't see her face because she was facing the opposite direction. I made my way to my favorite treadmill, and started briskly jogging blocking out the noise with music blasting in my ears until I inhaled a familiar scent. I didn't look up because in the back of my mind I knew who was standing before me.

But I prayed that it was just my overactive imagination.

I froze when I glanced up and she was staring back at me with those familiar blazing doe brown eyes.
