Roaming here and there alone, either trying to distract yourself with the TV playing some show or checking phone again and again, you waited for your husband to return.

It was unusual and that did concern you. He would usually be home at 10pm but it was already past midnight. He didn't even receive your calls despite always leaving his work to answer you. Chuuya loved and cherished you a bit too much. It had been three years to your marriage.

Though, finally he returned but you were currently in the bathroom and once you got out, you spotted him sitting at the kitchen counter, having an extremely stern expression and clenched fists, one hand gripping the wine bottle you had taken out for the dinner.

As you approached slowly and spoke up, for the first time, he turned and raised his voice on you:

"DONT come close!! Leave me alone—" the realization hit him just then, his eyes widening at your reaction. Instant regret filled within him.
