Brave Things
The Part 13 Mistake

"Luna, I'm sorry."

I immediately pushed his body, which was also sitting in front of me, stood up to leave him and walked quickly while wiping away my tears.

With just those three words alone it felt like my heart was crushed in a sledgehammer, not believing what it felt like with what happened.

Why did I never know about this? Is this why Jimin married me? Because I don't know anything about the darkest mass?

I should have known, there was no way the men from the family were, the ministerial post, the perfect physique like it, wanted me for an edit.

I don't even have anything to offer.

"Take me off." I cried softly as Jimin held me back,

"You can't go anywhere, you don't know this country." His hand gripped tightly onto my upper arm, holding back so that I wouldn't run away.

"I don't want to be alone with you, I'M AFRAID!"

Quickly, Jimin's palm closed my mouth firmly. We are still in the hospital park, the atmosphere is very quiet because the park is far from the nursery, has approached the parking lot. The empty state of the garden made the sound of my real weak and hoarse screams easily sound loud here.

"Please calm yourself. We're talking in the car."

"No, I don't want to." I'm still trying to let go of the grip on my body, it's hard even if I try with all my might.

"I'm holding your passport and id! You can't go anywhere!" He looked at me sharply.

"You're threatening me?" I'm stunned in disbelief, to run to calm myself down I can't, this fucking husband of mine has all the control in my life.

"If necessary, I will do it!" Jimin looks at me, bitch,

I just realized that in every situation when he feels threatened, he will be angry.

My tears were getting louder, realizing what kind of monster I had married, which unfortunately became my focus and my family continued to live.

"I'll explain! Whatever you want to know, but not here, not while you're still unstable." Frustrated speech.

Jimin grabbed my body that was still crying, hugging me tightly trying to calm down.

I hated the fact that the perfume was so soft, the rubbing of her fingers was sincere, and the kiss on my forehead was warm, making me forget the fact that I knew nothing about it. He kept so many stories that I didn't know, that I thought would hurt me one by one when they came to light.

That afternoon, Jimin didn't take me back to mom's house in Victoria. He drove out of town without letting me say goodbye to Mom.

I don't know what my mom told Jimin on the phone when Jimin called, nor can I call her even if my phone is ready to standby in my hand.

My phone has no network. Jimin turned off the signal assistance from his phone, when he got here only Jimin had a card, while I always relied on hotel wifi or from Jimin's phone. My phone right now is completely useless.

I could only resign, sitting in the passenger seat with the jimin.

My fear at the speed of this car led me to close my eyes for a moment. Whether because of lack of rest or too tired to cry, I fell asleep instantly until I did not realize that this car had reached its destination.

I think Jimin's driving goal is to get back to Canberra, but it doesn't seem to be. I guessed where I was when I opened my eyes and saw us stopping in the yard of a beautiful house.

"We've arrived." Jimin greeted me who was still wiping his eyes, he was leaned in the car seat and faced me with my eyes. Did he fall asleep waiting for me to wake up?

"Where is this?" My voice was hoarse, Jimin immediately got up and opened the available mineral bottle next to his chair.

"Drink first."

I gulped it greedily, after experiencing the shock of my body feeling dehydrated, one bottle was not enough.

"We're in my family's villa, staying here tonight." He rubbed my head gently, looking at me who was gasping for water.

I still didn't respond, until Jimin grabbed my hand to hold, "it's okay?"

"You're gonna hurt me?" Sick-me-up.

"No! Luna, I'm really sorry to keep freaking you out. I'm..."

He hung his words, though,

"You killed your own son?"

With a surprised look he replied, "Of course not, if that's what you're afraid of then the answer is no!"

"You raped your girlfriend while you were pregnant?"

"No, what I'm doing is the opposite, I'm really looking after her." Sutely answered.

"Why would he scream pointing at you like that?"

Jimin sighed, leaning his head back the chair tiredly.

"I let him think like that, I think it will slightly reduce his burden. What he experienced was more pathetic than that..."

He then lifted his body, and,

"Let's go down first, I've called the villa's guards to prepare dinner." He approached to remove my seatbelt, "Come in first, I'll bring your things down."

Jimin got out and walked around the car to open my door, frowning in his voice leading me down.

"What makes me believe in your words?" I asked, still hesitant to lend a hand to Jimin getting out of the car.

My max, Jimin could've lied. Making up stories to cover up if it turns out that what his ex-lover said was true. I don't know what the original story is either.

"Why should I trust you?" I repeated my question when I saw Jimin just sitting in front of the open car door,

"Because I'm not such a bad person." His reply was brief as he looked at my two eyes steadily.

If I was the only one tied to Jimin, I might still be able to escape this state. I can still go to the hinterland of a small province in Seoul, or I can go abroad on a scholarship or whatever.

But it's not that easy. I thought about how it would be for my mother and my two sisters if I ran away from Jimin.

It wouldn't be easy to live the life they've been through if I had been that selfish, even if Jimin had been responsible for their treatment, I'm sure mom would have been depressed and cursed at me, thinking I'm a woman who doesn't know thank you, without trying to figure out what the truth is.

It's sad, but what I'm doing right now feels like the right move. Staying by Jimin's side is the safest position that no one can reach, except Jimin himself.

Then, if he were to destroy me, I could take it a little.

"Have you taken a shower?" Asked Jimin who was lying down, his hands resting on his forehead, he immediately lifted when he heard I had come out of the bathroom door.

I nodded, "Get up, I've prepared the warm water." My words passed without looking at her.

Too many thoughts are raging in my brain, such as how if Jimin can't resist lust when his girlfriend is pregnant, or how to keep me from experiencing the same events, he said,

how can I prevent my pregnancy...

It feels really burdensome. Keep circling in my head, taking over my focus completely.

Until I didn't realize how my grip on this expensive glass plate got loose, it broke a thousand pieces because I wasn't concentrating on washing the dishes.

After dinner last night I did not find any more figure serving food on the table, the middle-aged man left without saying goodbye, making me take the initiative to clean up my former meal with Jimin.

To be honest, I only reluctantly stayed with her for a long time. Looking for other activities so as not to be too long trapped in the same space with him.

Hearing the sound of the plate falling down, Jimin came up to me in a hurry, checking my situation.

"I broke the plate." I said to Jimin who stood researching the situation.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then extended his hand to me, inviting me to stand up.

"Let it go, I'll call the housekeeper to clean it up."

"Not good, it's night." I kept insisting on collecting the scattered pieces of glass around me.

He was silent for a long time, watching my unfinished movements and even tend to prolong the activity.

"You're avoiding me." Said sharp.

"I said I'd explain everything you wanted to know, but you avoided me.." he walked forward, ignoring the shards of glass that surrounded me like a dangerous fence.

"Stop right there!" Shouts warned.

His eyes were sharp looking at me like an eagle, not even paying heed to me who asked him to stop.

"Jimin, stop. You stepped on the glass!" I stood up, about to jump through the sharp flakes so he wouldn't have to walk on them.

I don't understand why he kept going, like he set foot there on purpose, making blood on the floor and his feet.

The look on his face was very intimidating, like he did not feel any pain at all even though the soles of his feet were already drenched in blood.

I was cornered between the sink, the dishwasher, the glass shards, and Jimin blocked my access to everywhere.

"You're bleeding." I squeaked in fear, his face was only two feet away with mine, even I could hear his heavy, sparse breaths.

"I did it on purpose for you." His words made me not believe.

"W-what? Why?"

"I'm punishing myself for making you this scared of me." He took the hair that stuck to my cheek, sidelined it and slipped it behind the ear.

"Don't you think I can gain your trust again? I. love you so much." He then half begged.

What a statement of love at the wrong time, I was confused as to what to answer, my mind was still agitated at the thought of his bloody legs, needed to be treated immediately.

I cupped Jimin in the face, trying to resuscitate him from his current abnormal behavior, "Jimin, I beg you, let me treat your feet first."

But he just shook his head, holding my hand that was still perched on his cheek, he said,

"Please promise me you'll stay with me until the end." His love with a glare,

Of course I will, whatever I can take care of the wound first. I nodded at the origin, letting Jimin carry my body into his arms no matter what risks would await me as a result of this decision.

If anyone has to suffer, then that person has to be me. Not my parents or my sisters. I take one for the team.

Surviving with Jimin I've been doing a lot of this for a few months, I'll keep it at least until things get better, after which I'll try to get away from Jimin. If could.

If I can't then it seems like it's my destiny to be with her, face her anger, get hurt the facts about her that one by one, face the risk of becoming Anna's next figure...

I'm willing.

As much as I cared about Jimin, he cleaned his wound after taking him to lie on our bed.

I heard nothing of the pain I heard from his mouth, I even plucked a bell that stuck in his skin without any anesthesia.

He kept silent looking at me, no matter what he thought, the look on his face could not be guessed.

Not wanting to make the atmosphere stiffen again, I decided to finish dressing the wound in silence, the blood flow had also stopped after I compressed it with ice cubes earlier.

Because of the silence of this situation, the sound of a clock ticking wall sounded so big in my ear. I don't know what Jimin considered in that silence, which made him finally open his voice,

"I didn't know that Anna was pregnant." she said slowly, making me raise my head to pay full attention to her.
