After experiencing a series of what feels like I’ve been struck by lightning, naturally I don’t remember how I went back home to wash up and lie on my bed.
After lying on my bed for about half an hour, only then did I slowly start to regain back my composure. I started thinking if this is me dreaming at night about what I was thinking in the day, or there’s something wrong with Jungkook’s brain; or did I fantasize too much, or was Jungkook possessed by a ghost. No matter what I thought off, I still couldn’t think of a reasonable answer. Hence, I could only tell myself to treat it as though I got bitten by a dog.
I slowly fell asleep while recollecting the flavour of been bitten by a dog.
When I woke up the next day my cheek muscles were hurting badly. Probably because last night I was dreaming endlessly. In the dream it was all about the kiss with Jungkook. Because of that kiss, we constantly overused our lips and tongues. I think this is not good, I am a little shy.
While on the way to work on the train, my phone rang. I stared at the 3 words that were flashing on my phone screen – Tzuyu. I was so scared I shuddered. At this moment I really admire the mistresses in our community. How strong are they psychologically to be able to withstand that guilt when facing the legal wife?

I swallowed my saliva and answered the call, “hello.”
“Hey it’s me. How was last night?” Tzuyu said with a happy tone to it.
I almost bit my tongue the moment I opened my mouth, “Tzuyu… I…. That…”
“Which?” She asked.
I wanted to apologize to her, but I also felt that I was quite innocent. Therefore, I couldn’t finish what I wanted to say. Instead I quickly said, “I am on my way to work, the train is too crowded. I will call you back later.”
I hung up straight away. There is actually not much people this morning. The mere six or seven people in the cabin all looked at me when I dropped the call. The looks on their faces seem to be saying : “Look at you blatantly telling a lie, your face just looks like a mistress face, you won’t die a good death…”
The me who won’t die a good death gloomily hid to a corner of the cabin and call Nayeon. I briefly explained to her about what happened and sought her advice as a person’s wife – whether I deserve a death penalty or not.
Nayeon comforted me and said, “You don’t have to be scared. Woman like Tzuyu will the most grab your hair and bang you into the wall for revenge. She won’t find people to gang rape you.”
She also told me to call Suga since she thinks that he, as a role model of someone who toyed with countless of girls but has yet to be thrown to jail, he should be able to tell me how to handle such situation.
Suga was dismissive after hearing my description of what happened, which I avoided the important points but harped on the insignificant. He said, “You called early in the morning to disturb my sleep just for this small thing? Obviously, the guy should be the one to solve this problem. What are you worried for?”
As expected of a player, his words woke me up.
I hung up my call with Suga and called Jungkook. In order to give me enough confidence, the moment the line engaged I started to ramble on, “Jungkook you listen, I don’t care about why you kissed me last night, but a kiss is a kiss, I have to point out that your action is extremely wrong, you have a girlfriend now, you kissing me means you are forcing me to walk a road of being a mistress. My mom said, a mistress who destroys other couple’s relationship will have bad karma. That’s right, I still love you, but you should stop looking down on people, I will definitely not be a mistress……”
I stopped to take a breath, realized that the other side of the line was quiet and thought that Jungkook was reflecting, I decided to take advantage and fired again, “I mean, if you think that you were acting on impulse last night, I can act as if nothing happened. If you say you still have feelings for me, then lets take it step by step. You settle with Tzuyu first, then you have to woo me…… Why are you not talking?”
“Er…. I’m Doctor Jisoo.” A female voice came through the line, “Doctor Jeon is not around, I saw that his phone was ringing for quite long, and the screen shows your name, so I helped to answer.”
For that moment it was like a bolt from the blue. The thought that those shameless words I said just now had gone to her ear, I felt like killing myself by swallowing my phone.
I gritted my teeth and grumbled, “Why didn’t you say anything when you picked up the phone?”
“You spoke too fast, I wasn’t in time to make a sound.” She replied.
I thought that wasn’t right and continued, “But I clearly stopped in between to take a breath.”
She answered, “Oh, at that time I got addicted to what you were saying, felt that it was too exciting so I didn’t have the heart to make a sound.”
…….
I really don’t want to use vulgarities to greet our benefactor, so I can only restrain my anger and said, “Alright, please get Jungkook to return a call to me.”
“Wait, wait, If you really like Doctor Jeon, then what about my brother?” Doctor Jisoo asked worriedly.
I’m confused. “What’s it got to do with Taehyung?”
She said, “My brother likes you!. How about I give you an idea. You shouldn’t be a mistress, It’s lack of moral. You should just be with my brother. In a few more years he will be legal to marry and you two can just register for marriage.”
I didn’t quite understand. “What do you mean? How old is Taehyung this year?”
She said, “17. He didn’t want to attend the national college entrance examinations last year, said that he wants to start his own business, so he opened a shop. The clothes in his shop are all designed by him. I feel that my brother is a genius, he has a lot of potential. You should just be with him, our family won’t mind that you are old.”
17 ah…. Why does this kid look so old?
I said without strength, “You should stop joking, I will be sent to jail for seducing a minor.”
She continued to advise, “Furthermore, I think an older woman and younger man relationship is pretty good, you won’t seem old easily that way too.”
….I sincerely feel that, the Kim siblings were sent from the heavens to catch me for spreading happiness in the human world.
Therefore I moved my phone a little further from me, my voice drifting away from the phone, “What… ah… the sig..nal… in train… not good… I need to work….. Bye….”
I kept my phone and heaved a sigh of relief. I looked up and saw at all the people in the cabin are staring at me, with despise in their eyes. I opened my mouth in an attempt to explain something, but ultimately decided to turn around and face the cabin’s wall.
Behind me came voices of people in conversation, “Ay, young people these days, can’t even lie properly, working on a weekend?”
“It’s you who can’t keep up with times, some careers will only have good business on weekends and night time.”
“Seducing minor ah.. Should be shot to death.”
“Ay this you do not understand. There is no gender, age, height differences in love.”
“Then why not we don’t categorize at all, we can date chicken, duck, cow, sheep, or dog.”
……
I escaped the train at the next stop and took the opposite train back home. Why did I forget that today is a weekend….?
It took me about 1 hour plus for me to finally reach home. At this time, I am also too tired and lazy to care about the tangled and complicated feelings anymore. I decided to make use of this beautiful holiday to take a long nap. I even specially turned off my phone. Even a soul-stirring romance cannot go against the carefree-ness of being able to sleep without any trouble.
I switched off my phone, changed into my pajamas, tossed around in my bed but was unable to find peace. In my head is all the stares and looks from the people in the train. I have this feeling that if I don’t do anything, I will definitely go to hell when I die.
Therefore, I got up and took my phone and prepared to call Tzuyu. My finger hovered above the call button for a few seconds, but was unable to find the courage to. In the end I only sent out a short message : Jungkook kissed me last night, I swear I didn’t seduce him, sorry.
As I expected, the phone rang almost immediately. Tzuyu told me a shocking news, she said that she and Jungkook had never dated, she was only asked by Jungkook to play along with him. The remuneration is that she can receive family-like-care when if needs to go to the hospital to see the doctor. I am not sure what to reply, I can only express my shock about this deal. After all, the remuneration is also not very auspicious….
Lastly, Tzuyu asked if I can introduce her to Taehyung whom we had dinner with together last night, I told her that he is only 17 years old. She used a single word starting with ‘F’ to end our call.
