Answer
If you put a load (= a resistor) in parallel with the 'lower' resistor of your voltage divider the output voltage will indeed be lower.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say your load resistor is 100K too. It is in parallel with the 100K resistor of the divider, so together they are effectively a 50K resistor. The total circuit now consist of a 100K resistor and a 50K resistor, so the output voltage will be 1/3 of the input.
