Release

There's a line outside the building.A huge line.

I go the front of the line of what I guess are Hyuk Jae's costumers.

A man is in the front. He looks big and suspicious.

"Hey you, get t' the back o' the line." He says as I approach the door.

"I'm sorry...um, are you here to see Lee Hyuk Jae-ssi?" I ask a bit nervous.

The man chuckles, he smells of sweat and alcohol.

"We call 'im Eunhyuk but yeah, him." He says. "But I tell ya, y'should come tomorrow 'cuz tha last gurl who entered hasn't come out for some time ya know?"

"The last girl? What do you mean?" I say feeling something weird on my chest.

"Yup," he takes a step towards me, "here b'tween us, she seemed kinda slutty. I mean she tried to flirt with everyon', even me! But I'm a loyal husb'n so yeah. 'Nyways, I heard Enhyuk doesn' do those kind o' favors y'know? Reckon why she's takin' so long."

I look at the door and feel weird.

Huyk Jae...with another woman.

I find my myeslf frowning and open the door.

"Hey, wait! Y'can't go in while ther's a custo--"

I leave the man behind and close the door. Immediately I hear some voices.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."

"Oh please~, you said you did every kind of favor~"

I start walking to the voices, feeling my blood hot and some kind of anger building up inside me.

"There are exceptions, and this is one."

"Eunhyukkie~ you can't say no to this, can you?~"

I roll my eyes and finally get a look. Hyuk Jae is leaning on his desk, looking around as a woman with a red short dress is walking towards him seductively.

What the fuck.

"I...I have a girlfriend!"

"Mmm~ don't lie, there's no pictures of women in here. Please~ I just don't want to be a virgin anymore~" She gets to Hyuk Jae and puts her hands on his chest.

Fuck this bitch, how dare you?!

Before I know it, I jump out in front of them.

"I am his girlfriend." I say without thinking.

My appearance make them both turn their heads and the woman takes her hands off him, now approaching me.

As she walks, I realize how strong her presence is and her red high heels make her look much taller than me. Compared to her, I look so short and plain in my usual detective-like gabardine and small black heels. She looks at me up and down and smirks.

"Don't kid with me. You are his girlfriend?" She chuckles. "You are nothing next to him. He deserves someone...sexier than this."

I look at her trying to seem confident when suddenly I feel a pull on my waist and crash next to Hyuk Jae's body.

"You don't have an idea of what you just said." He stares daggers at the woman. "Min Young-ah is my whole world. Oh and, unlike you," he looks at her up and down and whispers, "she's not a virgin."

I feel my cheeks getting hot as he says that and I look at him shyly, he stares back at me and smiles cheekily.

The woman gasps and looks at us.

"Don't tell me, you...you.." She stutters looking at us incredibly.

"Yup." Hyuk Jae replies. "And let me tell you, she's awesome." He whispers.

"Hey, Lee Hyuk Jae!" I exclaim flustered and he chuckles.

"Ugh! Whatever!" The woman turns around and leaves through the door.

Apparently the line has disappeared thinking Hyuk Jae would take a long time. I sigh in relief.

Wait, remember what you are here for.

I separate myself from Hyuk Jae and look at him. He smiles at me and starts walking towards the sofas, I follow him.

"Min Young-ah," he starts, "about what you said just now..."

"I am his girlfriend"

I remember my sudden words and blush.

"Was it--"

"I was acting!" I say quickly. "I...I'm a detective remember? I save people, no matter who they are...and...I thought you needed saving." I say shortly.

"Oh," he chuckles slightly, "so that was it." He turns around and looks at me, a serious expression on his face. "I wasn't acting though, you are awesome in bed."

I blush so much I feel too hot.

"S-seriously though, you could've simply pushed her away." I say trying to avoid his eyes and the topic. "You're strong enough."

"I won't be violent to a girl." He says firmly and I feel my heart skip a beat.

This man...I must make sure. Come on, I can do it.

I look at his eyes, his lips, his cheeks, his hair, his neck, his ears, his jawline, his adam's apple, everything about him is just so perfect.

Prove it.Prove that you don't love him.Prove that you can live without him.Prove it.

I approach him slowly, taking my time to travel my eyes around his body.

"Min Young-ah? Your face is red, are you ok?" He says looking at me puzzled.

I don't reply and keep on walking towards him, feeling my eyes clouding.

"Uh, are you dizzy? Would you like some tea?" He says looking at my eyes.

I say nothing and get to him. Our bodies touch slightly and I hug him, feeling his body and smelling his scent.

This man, I don't love him.I can prove it.I don't love him.

I hug him tightly and I feel his arms starting to go to my back.

"Don't hug back!" I say in a panic and feel his arms fall again. I look up at his puzzled face and say, "Please, make me feel unloved."

Can I live without you?

"How can I do something that impossible?" He chuckles.

"Just don't respond to whatever I do." I whisper in his ear and feel him shiver. "Don't love me."

I kiss his lips harshly and pull away when he tries to kiss back. I travel my hands through his body, touching his hair and feeling his jawline. I nibble his ear and touch his abs through his shirt.

He's so hot.

I hear him moan quietly and sigh in my neck as I kiss his cheek tenderly. I kiss him once more and realize he's doing his best no to kiss me back. I massage his tongue with mine and touch his body up and down.

I want him.

I kiss his neck and make a mark on his collarbone.

No, stop.If you can stop you can live without him.If you can stop......you don't love him.

I push him away.

I pushed him away.

He looks at me with hooded eyes, and starts walking towards me.

I did it.

"Stop!"

At my flustered yelling, Hyuk Jae stops, his eyes turn back to normal.

"Min Young-ah...?" He says my name confused.

"I was trying to prove myself something." I smirk as I fix my hair and clothes. "Don't mind me."

"Wait, what?" He asks staring at me. "Prove something? What are you talking about?"

I can live without you.

"I gotta admit," I chuckle, " you made me doubt myself. Saying you actually love me and whatnot."

"What?" He approaches me to stand in front of me. "I do love you. I actually want us to--"

"Look, I thought it too," I say facing him, "that perhaps I loved you too. I thought maybe I had fallen for you, and I suffered because of it." I say looking down. "But," I look up, "I don't. I can be without you. I can walk away right now and not regret it. That's my proof."

I turn around and head towards the door, only to be stopped by a strong grip on my arm.

"Wait, so that's it?" He says sounding a bit weak. I feel a small pang on my chest but ignore it. "You just come in here all sexy and turn me on just to leave me hanging saying you don't love me?"

I feel a chill at his soft words.

"...Pretty much." I say without turning around.

I continue heading to the door as I feel his hand disappear from my arm.

This is really it. Goodbye.

I feel my eyes start to hurt at the thought of never seeing him again.

Come on, you don't love him.

"I really did love you...you know?" I stop on my heels when I hear his voice.

His voice...it's weaker.

"I...I really did. No...I...I still do." His voice is strained.

Is he crying?

My chest feels a harsh pain when I hear his weak voice.

He's crying.No.Don't cry.

Without even thinking about it I turn around and run to his collapsed figure. I wrap my arms around his trembling body, feeling my suppressed tears also start to fall. He rests his head on my chest, now sobbing.

"I'm sorry." I whisper tenderly. "I'm sorry, I love you."

I said it.

I can only hear him mumble as he wraps his arms around me. I hug him tightly as I cry, kissing his forehead constantly.

"I love you." I whisper to him, trying to console both of us. "I'm sorry, I love you."

We cuddle against each other, whispering words of love and tenderness as we kiss each other's foreheads and cheeks.

"I love you." I whisper.

After a short time, we fall asleep in each other's arms.
