| sat in the treatment room. The door was suddenly flung open and a tall man entered menacingly as if he were
about to kill, startling the doctor.
| glanced at the doctor.“It’s okay, he’s my... boss.” The word “husband” almost blurts out.
Julian seemed to have something stuck in his throat and walked to the doctor, asking, “Is it serious?”
“Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.” The doctor, unconcerned about our relationship, took care of my wound and
prescribed external medication.
| thanked him and got up to leave. Julian paid the bills and took the medicine, followinglike a dutiful
husband. | was too tired to say anything.
Leaving the hospital, | tried to get an Uber, but Julian grabbed my phone, put his arm around my shoulder,
forcibly tookto the parking lot. Then, he shovedinto his car and got into the driver's seat himself. The
door slammed shut, and the sound of the outside world was cut off.
The atmosphere was subdued.
“Is this your latest twisted gto punish me? Playing chicken with the reaper now?” He turned to look at me,
annoyed.
| froze for a moment, looked at his sullen face, and burst out laughing. The anchor in my chest dissolved into
sunburst laughter when his joke landed. He cheated on me, and | was punishing him at the cost of my life?

tantrums so seriously?”
| listened to his bullshit excuses, to the way he described that girl, to the unconscious tenderness dripping from
his
voice...
Julian, you should see how ugly your shifting loyalties look right now.
When I finally spoke, my voice sounded like dead leaves scraping pavement.“I'll stop bothering her. Do whatever
you want. Just keep your precious baby from flaunting herself in my face.”
“She's like a little sister, not what you're imagining.” His brows knitted like tangled headphones.
“Right, little sister,” | said, resisting the urge to expose him.“My mistake. Congrats on your new sibling then.”
The car engine growled to life. | curled tighter into the smoke-gray tailored jacket, its sandalwood warmth
mocking my chattering bones. His eyes suddenly laser-focused on the foreign garment.
“Whose jacket?”
“My big Brother's.” | stared at rain-streaked windows. “The new one | adopted.”
Julian's face darkened. What happened next unfolded like bad reality TV-him ripping the jacket offlike it
carried plague, hurling it into the storm.
Damn it, | need to return that!
| was so angry that | got out of the car to pick it up, but Julian pulledback, leaned over and kissedon the
lips. | clenched my jaw, he gripped my chin like a vise, forcing entry.

Wasn't it intimate?
The vibrating sound of his mobile phone was especially harsh in the silent night, as if it vibrated on my nerves.
