9:30 AM
A bed, a lamp, me and his t-shirt on the bed.
''Do-yun??''
I got up and went straight to search for him in the house. The flowers are still in the kitchen, no notes left, and no bowl needs to be washed.
Quiet.
There must been here tonight and I missed him.
How couldn't I have heard him?
Checked my phone to see if I missed something. And I see 100 messages and 50 missed calls.
Something bad must have happened.
Clicked on the first link that appeared and it sent me to an article having the headline...
I feel how my heart drops in a second.
No, this can't be happening to me. This is not about...
Hwa-young's secret is out. Her Husband Finds A New Mistress
This can't be him, he never told me that he was seeing somebody else. Somebody is playing a joke on me. This is fake. Picked up the phone from the floor and tried to reach him. No answer.

....Starts texting....
''What is happening? Why you are photographed with another woman yesterday? What have you done to us? Is she just a co-worker? On my birthday?? NEED TO TALK WITH YOU!!!''
And now everyone is pointing at me and wants an answer when I didn't make anything. I just waited for you. I waited to come from your ''vacation''. How comes that I'm the one that has to deal with your mess, Do-yun?
It seems like it doesn't matter that you humiliated me as long as you reject my call and ignore my texts. Last night? What happened last night before I went to bed? I took a bath, I received flowers, I went to sleep, and this morning his smelly perfume is all over the place. He was here.
I checked all drawers to see what he took away with him. The only thing that is missing is a white T-shirt from his drawer, 2 pairs of socks.
I took the T-shirt from the bed to smell it and I heard something dropped on the floor. I'm scared to look down, but I do it anyway. I opened one eye.
A shiny light .... What is this?
As I get closer I see it more clearly.
Is his weeding ring.
So, now I don't even deserve a proper goodbye from him? Is this what I'm receiving after 10 years of marriage? This is my gift for my birthday? If this is how he wants to play this game. So it be. Took my phone from the kitchen counter and I start to make some calls.
Hwa-young: ''Dae-Seong, is Hwa-young, can you talk?''
Dae-Seong: ''Hey, you, how have you been, I didn't know you still had my number after so many years''
Hwa-young: ''I don't have time to chat Dae-Seong. I need you''
Dae-Seong: ''.......Sexually?''. This is the last thing I need to hear today.
Hwa-young: ''As my lawyer!!!!''
Dae-Seong: ''Sorry!! I thought it is was a joke. What happened?? Are you ok?''
Hwa-young: ''I'm getting a divorce''
Dae-Seong: ''Since when?''
Hwa-young: ''Since this morning. He has a mistress and he left his ring on our bed. The news are over the news. I want this to be over as soon as possible''
Dae-Seong: ''Come to my office at 10, we will meet there ''
