Married to Miss Kim
Archie Received

"Pa, isn't that going to make Kimmy's trauma go deeper?" Archie felt clueless about the offer made by Kai.

"Ar, papa used to consult a psychiatrist. There are several steps that can be done for Kimmy's recovery. One of them is self-therapy and also couples therapy. Kimmy has been in self-treatment. Kimmy tries to accept her past. But, that didn't work. The trauma of Kimmy is deepening. Papa believes that in the second way, couples therapy, Kimmy can be cured," explained Kai.

"Pair therapy? Like what, Pa?" Archie is confused as to what he must do to heal Kimmy's trauma.

"It could be spending the weekend together, vacationing together. It would make Kimmy feel wanted and appreciated," Kai told her what the psychiatrist had explained to her.

"Pa, Kimmy's a psychologist. It seems like he can handle his trauma."

"Ar, if you think that way, can an oncologist cure him of cancer? Can an obstetrician give birth on his own without the help of others? Of course they can't treat and handle themselves. It must be that even an expert needs someone else" Kai made an analogy.

"But how, Pa? What if Archie scratches even deeper wounds for Kimmy?" Archie was sure he would not fall in love with his wife.

"Better you just run the offer from papa! For the final result, we'd better see. Papa doesn't want to speculate on what hasn't happened. Hows it? Are you interested in papa's offer? Once Kimmy is healed, you're free to choose your own path and papa won't mind if you choose to part ways."

Although heavy, Kai had to say the offer. He wanted to make a lucrative offer for Archie. Kai recognized Archie's condition very well now. Archie would have wanted to split from Kimmy, and Archie would have agreed to the offer. Kai looked at Archie who was thinking hard.

"Alright, Pa. I agree with papa's offer. On condition that, if Kimmy is healed, I can get divorced from her and go back to my loved ones" Archie receives an offer from Kai. Kai shakes Archie's hand as a sign of their agreement.

After work, Archie picks up Kimmy at his psychology clinic. He was indeed wanderlust by Nino and Tifanny to pick up his wife.

"It's over?" Archie asked as Kimmy walked out the door.

"Geez! You're shocking me!" Kimmy clutched her chest in shock at the unexpected presence of her husband.

"Sorry to surprise you!" Archie scratched his hair. Feeling awkward dealing with Kimmy, the girl is cold and also flat.

"Would you come here? Want to consult me? If so, my clinic is closed" Kimmy walked away from Archie.

"Geez! I'm not here to be your patient. I'm here to pick you up" Archie held Kimmy's hand. Kimmy spontaneously removed Archie's hand from his arm.

"What if I pick you up? Aren't you my wife?" Archie asked back.

"Wife? Oh yeah, I almost forgot I was married and had a husband" Kimmy patted her on the forehead.

"He even forgot about me. How could I enter into his life and heal his trauma?" Archie's pessimist.

"But I'm not giving up. It's all for my happiness with Flowi. I love Flowi. The sooner Kimmy recovers, the sooner I can reach my happiness with Flowi. After Kimmy's release, I'll marry Frowi soon," Archie cheers himself up and imagines a future life with the woman he loves.

"How can you forget your handsome, charismatic husband?" Archie smiled sweetly. Usually that smile will melt the heart of Flowi. Archie looked at Kimmy, there was no expression on his wife's face.

"It's so confident! Even Squidward is better-looking than you!" Kimmy walked past Archie.

"Squidward? Hey, you liken me to that lazy octopus?" Archie's chasing Kimmy's step.

Kimmy stopped her steps, then she turned towards her husband. Kimmy stared at Archie intensely. That makes Archie flutter and misbehavior.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Archie's face immediately became nervous. Why does Kimmy's gaze always make him groggy?

"Said you picked me up?" Kimmy snatched the keys to the car in Archie's hand and then he got into her husband's car.

"Hey, I don't want to be driven by you anymore! You seem to be taking me one step closer to death!" Archie chases after Kimmy who has entered and sits in the driver's seat.

"I'm the one driving," Kimmy refused.

"I'm the one driving. I don't want to be carried around anymore" Archie pulled Kimmy's hand from there.

"I don't want to be a passenger and just stare at the streets. I'll drive!" Kimmy pulled her hand, trying to get out of her husband's grasp.

"Just me!!" Archie's still in the thick of it. Kimmy pulled harder, so Archie fell on top of her body. Their eyes met and sat in the silence of the night.
