⟶ For @iis4d Husband!Seonghwa
When you got married, you knew his job was time-consuming and significant. Seonghwa was the CEO of his own company - should any one thing go wrong they whole business could crumble. You knew this.
You supported him to the best of your ability - you were understanding when he had to answer phone calls during dinner, when he had to stay up late answering emails leaving you to fall asleep alone, when he had to leave for impromptu meetings in order to fix something urgent. You knew he loved you.
That didn’t mean you weren’t hurt any less.
On the evening of your third anniversary as a married couple, you both read the text message he recieved in the middle of dinner - a text from his assistant with the word emergency in all captitals. When she phoned him a minute later you could hear the panic in her voice as her words rushed out in a inaudible jumble and you gathered yourself together to plaster on a smile to cover the hurt your heart was about to go under.
Once Seonghwa had ended the call he didn’t move from his chair oppisote you. Confused, your eyebrows furrowed as you leant forward to rest a hand upon one of his, that were clenched into fists.
“What are you waiting for?” You asked, voice only just loud enough to carry over to him against the bustle of the resturant around you.
His jaw was clenched and his eyes had closed and he grasped you hand in his, hands relaxing only slightly.
“Hwa?”
His words came out as a whisper. “It’s our anniversary.”
“This is important.”
“You are important too.” His voice was louder now, finally looking up at you, eyes both hardened and welling up with tears. “You are the most important thing in my life and i’m constantly leaving you for something much less important. I cant stand it anymore.”
You smiled at him, standing up from your chair and leaving a large sum of money on the table before taking his hands in yours and leading him out of the resturant. “Then we’ll go together.”
