Arrange Marriage - Kth.jnk [Completed]

Episode 20

         I slowly walked into the room as the doors automatically swung shut behind me.

        "Taehyung, what's going on?" I asked hesitantly as i looked at him, then at Justine and then back at him again.

        Now that they were standing next to each other, it was a little bit easier to tell who was who. Taehyung was slightly taller, his hair thicker his suit fitted better, his stance straighter and more confident and his eyes had more depth and emotions, maybe because i knew him immediately that i could these things clearer.

      "Jennie.."

He said, his voice indifferent.

   "Go home first and we'll talk later."

      The moment i heard the last two words- talk later- my blood instantly boiled because that wws what he had said so many times before.He was back to his old seld and shutting me out.

   I was his wife, damn it! I deserved to know. Shouldn't he trust me?Confide me in? Lean on me? Was i so weak and untrustworthy that he would tell Joy and not me?

     The last thought pissed me off further, that even freaking Joy took precedent over me.

    I waited a whole week to see him and the first thing he said after seeing me was this? i had imagined running into his arms and kissing him senselessly when i see him but not this, definitely not this, him being cold and distant to me.

    Did that night mean nothing to him? Why is it that its the women who always put more importance into the love making act than the men.The infuriating thought only made me angrier.

   Joy took my silent fuming as defeat and walked up to the real Taehyung as he put her red nails on his chest.

  "You again?" She cozied up to him as she smirked.

   "Why do you keep showing up to places where you're not welcomed?" She looked at me up and down.

   I can say the same for you, I wanted to say but instead, I was ignored her All I could focus on was Taehyung and how he didn't do anything. He just stood there, stiff and not pushing the annoying woman away as he stared back at me.

  "Taehyung.." My voice pleading.

    I was nonverbally begging him to detach himself from the despicable woman, to tell her that i was his wife and the he was already taken, that he didn't want to have anything to do with her, and that i had every right to be here despite what Joy might think.

    "Didn't you hear him? Go home little girl." She said sweetly as her eyes threw daggers at me.

    I continued to ignore her and kept my gaze on Taehyung. My eyes stung and i could feel tears forming but i refused to blink in case i missed the emotions showing in his eyes. I wanted to see what he was trying to tell me, if he cared about me at all.

    My incisions started to throb as i stood patiently waiting for a response from Taehyung. I bit down on my bottom lip as the pain slowly intensified but i stubbornly persisted to ride it out.

    Suddenly, things seemed to moved around me and i swayed as my hand involuntarily came up to to cup my forehead.

  "Oh, please. You can drop the act." She snickered, but Taehyung speedily moved and got me in five quick steps.

   'Are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked as he gripped my shoulders.

   "I-I don't know. I feel dizzy." I said unsure as I held my head.

   Joy walked up behind Taehyung and tried to refute me.

  ''She's acting! she's pretends to be in pain whenever she tries to get out of an awkward situation." She said.
