"Congratulations, Mrs. Cho. You've done it again."
"Well, I wouldn't be the most trusted lawyer in South Korea if I didn't."
That's how Cho Sungmin would answer whenever she was congratulated for winning a case. Whenever she was asked to handle one, she would gladly accept it and would always win in the end, no matter how great at defending the lawyer of the other side was. After all, she was South Korea's most trusted and most recommended lawyer.
What people didn't know was that whenever she was at home, she wasn't the brave and amazing lawyer people claimed her to be. No, she was the gullible and vulnerable wife of Cho Kyuhyun; a jobless, heartless and unfaithful man.
Kyuhyun wasn't really jobless before, but because he lost all of his investments to another company, everything was taken away from him, and because of disappointment and anger, he was disowned by his parents.
The only thing left for him to do was to marry his girlfriend of 5 years, Sungmin. He knew that she would always be there for him, no matter what and that was how he was for her.
It wasn't a Church wedding, just a civil one, wherein it was only their closest friends who were present. Sungmin's parents had disowned her too, because she didn't follow the dream they wanted for her; to become an idol.
They might have been disowned by their parents, but as long as they had each other, it was enough for them. Though Sungmin was the one who worked day and night for the two of them, Kyuhyun did his part by being on house duty.
Everything was well on the first year of their marriage, but when Kyuhyun found out about the amount of money Sungmin was earning every month, he changed.
He wasn't the same loving and caring husband Sungmin had known him to be. Kyuhyun became abusive, an addict and a cheater.
Whenever Sungmin came home from work, she would always find clothes and cum stains all over the floor and beer bottles or cans everywhere and she knew what had already happened when she was at work; Kyuhyun had brought home another girl again.
No matter how painful it was for her, she remained by his side because she thought that she was all he had, that the girls he would bring home were only for his past time and that he still loved her.
Sungmin would wait all night for him to come home. She knew that a one-night stand wasn't enough for Kyuhyun, because after having sex with another girl in their home, he would go to a bar again and bring another one to a motel or maybe in his car. Sungmin found out because she saw it with her own eyes; she followed him once, twice, thrice or more, but no matter how badly it hurt her, she just let him be, afraid that he would hurt her if she interrupted the fun he was having.
Whenever Kyuhyun would come home after having one-night stands with different girls and drinking all night at a bar, he would still have enough energy to use to abuse Sungmin. He didn't care if he already has AIDS or HIV or whatsoever, he was having fun anyway.
As soon as Sungmin notices Kyuhyun enter their house, she would run up to him for a hug, but whatever it was he gave her back, she accepted, because she loved him.
The latter would always punch her in the stomach, and as soon as she was crouching on the floor, he would kick her countless times until blood came out of her mouth. If he wasn't in the mood to punch her or kick her, he would rape her, bite and scratch her body until blood came out of where he bit and scratched her. That was Kyuhyun's routine every night and Sungmin had already gotten used to it.
Even mornings weren't peaceful for the couple. Sungmin would always get abused or raped in the morning, whatever it was Kyuhyun wanted to do to her. That's how breakfast was for the two of them.
"Sungmin, you're so beautiful today. Oh wait, when weren't you beautiful?"
"Kyuhyun's lucky fellow to have you as his wife. He better be taking good care of you or else someone will"
Sungmin would only answer them with a smile or a nod. After her so-called-breakfast with her husband, she would run butt-naked to the bathroom, turn on the shower and cry. As soon as she felt that she already cried enough, she would change to her office attire and put on a lot of make-up to cover all the bruises and scratches.
As for Kyuhyun, he still did his part on house duty, even though he knew that he would mess it up again tonight. He was still living there after all, and because he wanted the place to be clean, he did his job.
One night, while Sungmin was watching a drama series while waiting for Kyuhyun to come home, one of the characters in the series said something that made her do the unthinkable. "He doesn't love me anymore, so I don't have anymore reason to live."
When Kyuhyun got home that night, he was expecting a hug or a kiss from his wife, but what he saw made him fall on his knees and break down. He just got home from his parents' house and they asked forgiveness from him.
Kyuhyun wanted to surprise Sungmin with the good news and he wanted to tell her how sorry he was, that he was gonna change and that he was going to make it up to her for everything, no matter how long it would take for her to forgive him. It was his problem with his parents that made him fall into depression and do those terrible things, but after working things out with them, he felt okay again and was ready to go back to his old self, the guy Sungmin fell in love with.
Hanging on the ceiling was Sungmin's lifeless body that was holding a note. It was written:
My dearest Kyuhyunnie,
I'm sorry I had to do this, but I think it was for the best. You don't love me anymore, so I don't have anymore reason to live. The past years with you were the most amazing years in my life, even though you would always abuse me or rape me. I love you so much, but I think you're better off without me and with other girls. Take care of yourself. I'll miss you.
Your Sungminnie ^^
After Kyuhyun read the note, he untied Sungmin's body from the ceiling and brought it close to him. He cried harder while he was giving her cold body kisses. At that moment, pain and regret was flowing through his body as he whispered:
"I love you too.. I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry.."
With that, Kyuhyun stood up from the floor and went to their bedroom. He pulled out a gun from bedside table drawer, a gun that his father gave him for protection. Kyuhyun went back to the living room and lied beside Sungmin's lifeless body.
"I can't live without you..Wait for me, Sungminnie.."
Kyuhyun pulled Sungmin's body closer to him before he shot himself on the head.
A/N: I tried, okay? I'm sorry for the total fail. ;___;
