A Second Chance

chapter three

TW: ‼️⚠️ SELF HARM ⚠️‼️

Twelve Years Ago...

Seung Ho and I walked into our new home together. I looked up at Seung Ho, he had a cold, serious expression. He always had that look.

We obviously don't love each other. Pretty sure he already has someone in mind. Poor girl.

"S-So" I stuttered "what?" He questioned walking away I followed him. "We're married, Seung Ho. We should treat each other like—" he cut me off "like we love each other?" Seung Ho then started coming closer, "yes..." I nodded nervously.

"Alright," he agreed, he kissed me. I flinched, there was nothing. It felt like nothing, "is that better?" He asked, I slapped him "don't ever! Kiss me without permission!" I yelled.

"Permission? You're my wife, Ji Hyun" he said coldly. My eyes became watery, he pulled me closer and kissed my neck. I tried hard to resist but his kisses had me wrapped around. That's how Seo Jun was made...

Present...

I sighed.

As always. Cold to everyone.

I felt like someone was following me. I scoffed, I turned around rapidly and threw a punch, they caught it. I glared at them.

I pulled my hand away, "the hell! Don't be following me like some creep!" I yelled "what?" He replied, I scoffed. "Stay away from me, Seung Ho" I glared at him and continued walking until I felt a drop.

It started raining, Seung Ho took an umbrella out and walked pass me. I started walking faster, and I passed him.

Hmph.

"Who does he think he is!? Damn it! I wish I never—" I stepped wrong and slipped.

"Seriously?" Seung Ho stood behind me, I turned around. Seung Ho looked down at me.

I bet he thinks I'm pathetic!

I stood up, "how many times do I gotta tell you!? Don't look at me like that!" I stabbed my finger in his chest, he slapped my finger away "don't touch me with your filthy hands" Seung Ho said with a nasty tone.

I followed Seung Ho from behind until we departed. I finally arrived home freezing.

"Seriously, Ji Hyun!? You're dripping everywhere" mom pushed me to the floor, I winced. I tried getting up but slipped back down, Jae Hyun giggled "stupid, that's so like you" she smirked mischievously.

I slowly got up, "shut up, Jae Hyun" I glared at her "huh?" "Shut up!" I raised my voice. She continued to look at me but a smile formed on her face and she spoke up, "no" mom slapped the back of my head.

"Don't speak to your older sister like that! How about just go do your homework!?" I stayed quiet and walked slowly to my room until Jae Hyun tripped me, she bursted into laughter. I got up and went to my room, acting like nothing happened.

I lied on the floor in my room, looking at nothing but the ceiling.

Why did you give me a second chance to live this crappy life? I should've just killed myself when I got the chance to...

My wrist started hurting, I winced and pulled my school sleeve up. There were scars on my wrist bleeding, losing tons of blood.

My eyes widened.

SEUNG HO'S POV

I walked into the large mansion, being greeted by my older brother.

"Little brother!" Seo Joon jogged towards me "what?" I replied "how was your first day at public school?" He smirked putting his arm around me. I scoffed, "why did you put me in that crappy school?" I asked.
