⊹♡♪ᵎ . Yoongi ²⁴. 🐈‍⬛ ˖ ୨୧ ♫⋆

Min Yoongi was your husband, the father of your two children, and the man you still loved with every fiber of your being. But his kisses had long since vanished, his hugs were merely perfunctory, and his "I love yous" sounded hollow. Now there was his secretary, and you were no longer the woman he eagerly awaited when he came home.

You discovered it by accident, when you arrived at his office and found them kissing. You didn't scream or protest. You simply left, one hand on your stomach and the other clutching the bag where you kept your latest medical results.

You had cancer. You only had a few weeks left. Neither Yoongi nor your children knew.

That night, he asked for a divorce.

"I don't want to keep pretending this marriage works ," she said, without looking you in the eyes.

You stood watching him, trying to memorize his face. Even then, after all, you were still searching for the man who had once promised to grow old with you.

"Don't divorce me yet, Yoongi," you pleaded, your voice breaking. "Just a few more weeks. Pretend you still love me. For our children... and for me."

He sighed, exhausted.

Don't ask me for something like that. You know I don't feel the same way anymore.

I know, you whispered. That's why I'm asking you to pretend.

Yoongi agreed, believing you just wanted to cling to a failed marriage. He didn't see you bite your lip to keep from crying.

That night, when he entered the room, he found you looking at a photograph of your wedding.

"Do you still keep that?" he asked.

You smiled sadly.

It's one of my favorite memories.

He looked away and lay down without saying a word. You turned off the lamp, turned to face the wall, and wept silently, because soon you would have to say goodbye to your children, your home, and the man who slept beside you.

And the cruelest thing was that, when the day came that you were no longer there, Yoongi would be free to be with whomever he wanted.

But you wouldn't be there to see him stop pretending.
