“I doubt it,” he said as he looked down at the table, avoiding my eyes.

Our fathers were polar opposites, but I didn't see it getting any better with his dad when he insisted on escalating matters. I watched as Tae began to clear the table. Tae wouldn't speak about his past, so I didn't push him, but it made me wonder what his father had done to them. All I could try to do was keep our home as harmonious as possible. It worked for my parents because I don't remember them ever arguing other than the cute bickering they did.

My phone vibrated as I groaned and rubbed my belly as if that would ease the cramps away. The painkillers were useless today. My period wasn't usually this bad or as heavy. I grabbed my phone and lay on my bed. Tae’s bed was more comfortable, but I didn't want to be around him just now when I felt terrible.

My Lover:I just got your message. Why are you still at home?

Me:I told you I felt a little under the weather today.

My phone lit up, and I paused before answering it because I just wanted to lie in the silent, dark room.

“Hey,” I said in a fake cheerful voice.

“What’s the matter? You are ill?” he said so quickly his words jumbled together.

“Uh, it’s just some stomach cramps,” I said with a cringe. I don't know why I was being sheepish about my period.

“What do you mean stomach cramps? Is it food poisoning?”

I stifled a groan at his insistence.

Why wouldn't he leave it alone?

“I’m on my period, okay? I get miserable, tearful, and angry. Along with a dose of cramps, headaches and sometimes back pain. But right now, I have a headache and cramps, so I need to lie down.”

He was silent for a moment before he spoke. “You go through all this every month?”

“It’s not usually this bad. Maybe you dicked me too hard last weekend,” I said with a smile.

“My dick didn't go near your pussy,” he said indignantly.

“Exactly, maybe this is why I'm cramping so much now. I needed your dick, and you didn’t give it to me,” I moaned.

He said nothing.

“It was worth a try,” I huffed. “I don't think I’m coming over this weekend.”

“No. I’m coming over,” he said.

I began to protest and saw he had hung up on me. I put my phone under the pillow and closed my eyes. I’d made it till late afternoon before I came home early. Warren was understanding and a gem of a guy. I’d been in the dental hospital, and other dental surgeries, but the atmosphere in his practice was the best. I sighed and stretched my stiff back before rolling onto my side and tucking my hands under my head.

Chapter 21

Tae

I knocked on the dark blue door of Nari’s house, and when it opened, her mother stood there and looked at me in surprise before she opened the door fully.

“This is a lovely surprise,” she said warmly. “Nari is feeling a little poorly, though.”

“I know, that's why I came over,” I said as I returned her smile while holding up the bags.

“Oh, that's so sweet of you, Tae. Please, come in,” she said as she opened the door and moved to the side. “You know where her bedroom is.”

I’d been in the Choi home far more than my parent's home in the last few months. Although stalking their house wasn't exactly coming inside it, although that was in the beginning.

I thanked her and gave her the large tub of chicken noodle soup. After doing some research, I went to a few shops for various items to help Nari feel better before I got here. Once I stepped inside, I removed my shoes and coat, but before I could pick them up, Mrs Choi lifted them and put them on the shelf. I protested, but she took my coat from me and tugged my scarf off.
