Silence filled the room.

The silence between them was hard to ignore.

Noah felt shy and embarrassed and warmness from David body because he were being carry in an bride style

But the other man seemed determined to say something he had been holding back for a long time.

As they entered the room, David gently put Noah down on the bed and handed him a glass of water.

Suddenly, the silence broke.

“T-Thanks…” Noah said softly, his voice gentle and sincere.

“Hmmm."

David only responded calmly, almost coldly.

An awkward silence once again filled the air.

Then—

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

David picked up the phone.

there was clear annoyance in David's face by seeing the caller's name.

“He’s fine.”

“Hmmm...…” David replied calmly, though there was clear irritation hidden in his tone.

“Okay,” he said before hanging up the call, his

eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Was it Mom?” Noah asked nervously.

“What was she asking? Is she angry? Are you angry?”

David let out a quiet sigh, clearly annoyed by the endless nervous questions.

Then he spoke calmly—

“Let’s get a divorce.” Noah!, David pasue one second before saying his name.

The words were spoken so casually, as if they meant nothing.

But to Noah…

Those words were cruel.

His heart suddenly tightened, making it hard to breathe.

“W-What did you just s-say…?” Noah asked in a cracked voice, his trembling hands gripping the bedsheet tightly.

He hoped he had heard wrong.

But—

Reality is cruel!

...

.

“Let’s get a divorce, Noah.”

This time, David’s voice was firmer and colder.

Noah stared at him for a long moment.

Slowly, tears gathered in his eyes before sliding down his cheeks without him realizing.

“W-Why…? D-David…?” he asked with a broken voice, his hands trembling uncontrollably, heart pounding so hard that it start to hurt him.

Even though his tears kept falling, he still wanted an answer.

David only raised one eyebrow slightly, as if questioning why Noah was reacting this way at all, completely ignoring Noah’s pain and anxious state.

“This marriage was nothing more than a contract,” David said coldly.

“It was for both our benefits, so don’t make it sound like this relationship was something romantic… and don’t act like I betrayed you.”

His face showed clear annoyance as he spoke.

“B-But why…?” Noah asked in a broken voice, tears still streaming down his face.

“Everything was going w-well… We were finally starting to have a good relationship, so w-why…?”

His voice trembled badly, weak and fragile, almost like a child afraid of losing the only person he trusted.

“Relationship?” David let out a short, mocking laugh.

“Huh? We never had that kind of relationship.”

He looked at Noah with an emotionless expression before continuing—

“It was all an act. A temporary arrangement to stop the rumors that were spreading everywhere.”

David spoke with a cold and distant tone, his sharp words cutting deeper with every second.

“So stop this drama.”

Before Noah could say another word, David pulled out the already signed papers and placed them in front of him.

This paper broke Noah even more!...

As if he tried to kept his illusion but,

Reality start to shatter it!...
