The girl next door || • J

• 3 •

I take a deep breath in, honestly, I wasn't sure if they'd accept her. If they'd even like her, my mom...didn't even like it when I got my etiquette wrong.

I groan, I had no idea of how I'd tell her, what I'd tell her.

My girlfriend is...if she found out she'd try and destroy her.

My mom was kind loving women to those of our own status, and those who were sweet 'pure' girls.

But I really wanted her to meet the girl I loved, even if she was the opposite of everything they stood by.

My parents deserve to know, she's the women I want to marry I can't have them hating her.

But I can't have her family or herself be thrown into a lions den, cause would I really love her if I put her and the ones she loved at risk?

I didn't know what to do, and I already told her about the meeting.

I walk downstairs, my dad was sat at the counter a newspaper in his hands. I walk and sit next to him, two sunny side up eggs, rice, and kimich were placed in front of me.

I nod and thank the chef, her short brown hair complimented her chubby face well. It made me happy seeing her, she was only in her twenties but she was talented, and she had a kind look to her.

My dad smiles and nods at me, I take in a deep breath, "So...where's mom?" I ask, fiddling with my hands.

He takes a sip of his coffee, and shrugs, placing it down with a kind smile. "She went to invite the Ahn's over for brunch."

Brunch? I look at my full plate, why brunch? I look back to my dad who didn't spare my another word, my mom was always up to these stupid antics.

-

I didn't eat the precious breakfast prepared by Doh, my mom smacked it out of my hands before I had the chance.

So, I was forced to sit across a curly haired freak.

^(whats she's wearing)

She looked up, and we locked eyes, her hair was up again, this time in two loose braids, as her bangs hanged out.

She smiled angelically, I lift my lip in disgust. She was beautiful, I wouldn't deny that, but her fake prosperity, and purity was appalling.

My mom interjected in our exchange, "Look at her," she smiled lovingly , "Your so beautiful little Youngmi, and kind, I wish our Asher had a girlfriend like you~"

There it was, my moms plan, her sugar coated words that she always used to make me do what she wanted. I usually went along with it, because her requests were always harmless.

'Gosh, your so smart sweetie, but wouldn't studying help you enlighten yourself?'

'You did so good! Why don't you go get mommy that too, to show me how much you love me, hm?'

'Oh wow honey! Look at this summer camp? If only you could learn to survive in the wilderness..yknow just in case, it wouldn't worry mom so much.'

But this was just crossing the line, she knew I had a girlfriend, so why was she trying to force this thing on me?

The subject of the manner just looked away and ignored her comment, taking a small glance at her parents who were just smiling.

What a vixen, she wanted to marry me didn't she?

Did she put my mother up to this?

She set down her tea and smiled, placing a stray hair behind her ear, her smile beaming towards my brother.

"So, how about you?" She asked, what a perfect match, both fake idiots trying to be better than they really are.

My brother just grinned, his blue eyes slightly disappeared, "What about me?" He asked, his voice going into a chill.

Her eyebrows jumped a bit, and her cheeks got slightly rosey.

'I've never seen her blush.'

I look down to my coffee, stifling a small chuckle.

'Granted I don't even see her much'

She shrugs, still smiling, "Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked, taking a bite of her food.

She smiles, seemingly innocent.

His eyes light up, like they usually do when he flirted with a girl.

Sitting back he shrugged, letting his fork and knife fall to plate, he sat back looked her up and down then crossed his arms.

"I don't...yet, why you trying to fill that position?" He asked, leaning forward again, placing both his elbows on the table his smirk getting bigger, his eyes never left hers.

I look at both my parents.

They both looked shocked, they already planned on marrying my brother to a different women, if he still wanted to when he turned 18, this was common knowledge to our whole town.

Then I take a curious glance at hers, her mom was suppressing a smile?
