Uncharmed // jeon jungkook (#30)

Chapter 47

Jieun

Get married? My eyes just twitched at the words that I was once flustered by and it made my heart flutter a lot of times, marriage is a huge affair and it is a very important thing to a woman even in today's world, no matter how independent a woman might be, she needed a companion and someone to share her pain and sorrows, someone who will give them a listening ear when things are hard and someone to grow old with them.

That was what marriage mattered to me before and I thought that I was so lucky to be loved and to get married before I turn 30 and a prince charming chose me out of the other girls because I was the special one, I always thought that Kim Seokjin is the one guy who will always love me and he will never cheat on me no matter what and he would rather kill himself than to give up on me and love someone else. I almost got left at the altar and I stopped that from happening by turning the tables around and exposing him before it is too late.

"I..." I find myself tongue-tied and I have no idea why. "Sulli, I..." I tried once again and I realize that my emotions got the better of me and I started bursting into tears in a lovely restaurant in one of most luxurious hotels and I am crying my heart out because I have never thought that I would be so hurt by this but I am hurt, not that I wanted to admit it and I was so hurt getting my love betrayed by someone who will give me my happy ending.

Kim Seokjin was my last hope of getting married and settling down for a very stable life, and it wasn't that easy to meet him. We worked in different jobs and there is little to no chance for the two of us to ever meet each other by chance unless he comes over to the hotel for a stay but there is no way that he would choose this hotel because it is a boutique hotel and people like him would rather choose a hotel that is known to the public than a tiny hotel that is struggling to get by.

Our parents arranged for the two of us to meet and it was a blind date and it was an official setting that we met and I thought that I was so lucky to be able to meet someone who is so accomplished in his career and he is just looking for a wife because his parents urged him to get a wife so that they can have a grandchild.

On the other hand I was struggling to get a job and nothing works out for me and my parents forced me to go on a blind date just so that I can get married and become a housewife and I will be officially excused from having to work and I can just stay at home and live the rest of my life like that. And I was hoping to be like that because I was tired of trying out things and I was even planning to retire when I get married and I will sell the hotel to some big corporation, it is not like I am even interested in running a hotel, I am just holding onto it for dear life because I have to keep a promise to Sulli that her hotel would still be in one piece when she returns.

And I had found her and I am not married, I told her that I am getting married and now I appear in front of her without anyone and there isn't a ring on my ring finger which is such a huge disappointment. "I didn't get married," I told her. "I told myself to get married to him but I can't bring myself to stay in the marriage when a third party is involved and I am looking like the third party instead."

"Oh my..." Those were the only words that came out of her mouth. "Who is that bitch? Do I know her?"

"It wasn't a girl, he is cheating on me with a guy and he has been cheating on me ever since he proposed to me that night." I cried even louder. "Can't you believe that I wasted one whole year and a freaking chance for me to make my parents proud of me?"

I will kill Kim Seokjin when I get back, I can't believe that I didn't get killed that day and I only exposed his affair with his coworker. Even if Jeon Jungkook wasn't there, my life with Kim Seokjin will be doomed if I continue to marry him even after knowing that he doesn't love me at all and he is only using me as a protective shield of our marriage.

"Dry your tears, you did the right thing. Jieun, you didn't disappoint me at all. I would be mad at you if you choose to stay married to that guy even though you said that you are only going to marry him for 5 years." Sulli said to me.

"I am so glad that I did, I was so close to marrying him until he convinced me to leave him." I immediately shut my mouth, Sulli doesn't know that there is another man in my life and she only knows Kim Seokjin.

"There is another guy?" She picked it up even though I don't want her to talk about it. "Tell me who is that guy."

"I... He is 4 years younger than me and he doesn't like me at all, there is nothing between the two of us.". I told her.

"Tell me about that guy or I am going to find him as soon as we return, I know that I have a lot to catch up on and you have to tell me everything about what happened in the last 3 years or you are not my friend anymore." Sulli threatened me and I gulped my saliva down.
