Sautée the prepped beef, stir in the tomatoes and vegetables, then put them in the sauce. Then, put in the wine and cook it long and slow on low heat. Add salt and pepper to taste....I now only have to put in the mushrooms and bring it to a boil. At the moment I was about to put in the mushrooms, I heard the door open from the bedroom. I put down the empty plate and hurriedly went to greet Alpha Damien.Did you sleep well? Good morning! As I gave my morning greeting with a huge smile, Alpha Damien frowned and opened his mouth.What is this gross smell? Did you let in a hobo?Smell? Ah, I made beef bourguignon. Does it smell okay? Is it weird?Alpha Damien went toward the pot, closed his eyes, and with a serious look smelled the dish. A few moments later, he opened his eyes and glared at me with discontent.You didn’t get rid of the meat smell.Meat smell?I put my head close to the pot and sniffed it.Isn’t this just the smell of meat when you boil it? It’s supposed to be like this w

People used to say that there is no one that is unable to survive one year of a marriage test. It means that however difficult it may be, as long as the time is short, it is possible to push through it. I’d like to meet the person who uttered those words. I cursed the person who spoke so easily of it. I had only endured a month of it and I’ve already become ragged. I told this to Noah over the phone.Even though this one month is killing me, how do you expect me to do this for a year? I’ll never last a whole year. It’s just a relief that it’s only for two months.I was alone, other than the taxi driver. It had been the first time in a long time that I was able to speak my mind truthfully to Noah. A conversation that I could never utter in front of Alpha Damien.I feel like a prisoner with a month left of sentence before freedom. I put x’s on the calendar counting down the days until you return.[Why did you choose to accept this useless challenge. You didn’t have to.]Who would have

I handed out my wedding invitations to the three friends sitting opposite me. Nervous, I kept stealing glances at Alpha Damien who sat next to me. As always, Alpha Damien sat with his mouth tightly closed and watched us. He was civil, even at my introduction of him as my future brother-in-law, so I assumed he would just sit there and watch us quietly for the rest of the night.If that’s the case, I would be so grateful. I stole glances at Alpha Damien from time to time.Lucy, your fiance is the guy that came to the theater a long time ago, right? Jean opened up the dialogue from across the table and Darcy joined in.That’s right! He was friends with Henry and was glad to see you when he visited. Didn’t you say it had been a long time since your reunion?So you started dating at that time? my other friend piped up.Because the 3 girls sitting opposite me took turns shooting questions, I started to feel frazzled.“Not, not since then. Well...we were just continuing to keep in touch... I

Only after we grabbed a taxi did I breathe a sigh of relief. My whole body was drenched in sweat, so I fanned my face with the wedding invitations.Are you insane? Why the hell are you acting like this? Alpha Damien frowned at me.I don’t know, I, uh....I can’t really think of what to say right now. I admitted.Don’t tell me what you think, tell me the truth, Alpha Damien blurted out in anger.Ah...what do I do...Put in a difficult situation, I squeezed my eyes closed and increased the speed of my fanning.How can I explain this? What excuse should I give?After a lot of thought, I placed the wedding invitation on my lap and took a deep breath. Let’s just tell him what type of person Henry Johnson is. I’ll let him know how horrible a person he is and tell him I don’t want to invite him to the wedding.Looking down at the invitation, I strengthened my resolve and nodded my head. Suddenly, I got an inkling that something was off. Why...am I only holding two invitations? I’m sure I had

That’s how I wrapped up my story. None of it was a lie, I retold it exactly the way it had happened. Except for the fact that I excluded some parts. But the words I said were all the truth. Alpha Damien must have been mulling over my words, because he continued to look down in silence. Then he opened his mouth.Well, if that’s the case then I understand. But you put your hands on me, and violently no less, I cannot forgive. I will definitely tell my brother about this.After the warning, he turned and left for his room. After overcoming that hurdle, I sighed in relief and sprawled on the ground. What did Henry Johnson want to talk to me about?I was anxious and couldn’t get rid of the irksome feeling. I started to chew my fingernails again.At that moment, I heard Alpha Damien talking to his brother, tattling about me and what had happened today. Well, now Noah will know I met Henry Johnson.As of now, let’s wait for Noah’s phone call. Until then there’s no point in fretting over it.
