Arranged Marriage | Joshua Hong

45

After the flight took off, Serim looked at me with curiosity in her eyes. I sighed and then told her about our past then our present, it took a long time to tell her

Ser: why didn't I know you were a bully in high school?!
Y/n: i- i wasn't really a bully..
Ser: oh honey you were
Y/n: finee, it's all my fault but can't Joshua forget it? And like.. like start a new life with me? I have really suffered a lot these past few weeks, my own parents stopped contacting me
Ser: y/n.. the world doesn't revolve around you.. even I'm not a good person but you.. you still got the guts to speak like this.. it was his friend who died! He wouldn't forget, would he?

I looked down agreeing

Ser: okay, it's all in the past as you say, but you have to be the one to take a step forward, not him! Same goes to your parents, your parents must be so hurt, do you even know that? Don't expect them to contact you, go to them, talk to them, stay with them, take them with you and travel here and there, they are your parents, not your babysitters, you have to take responsibility too now, you're a grown up

I stayed stunned, i realised how stupid i was till now

Y/n: thank you Serim
Ser: you're welcome, now I'll start earning too but for now..let's enjoy!!!

I smiled looking at my bestfriend, i never knew she was like this.. i thought she's like me but she is completely different.. I'm glad that she is friends with me

I wonder what Joshua's doing, maybe he's sleeping. I messaged him.. as Serim said, i should take the first step, idc even if he ignores me, i never tried my best to talk to him, i always expected him to talk but now I'll do what I am supposed to

Hey Joshua, you up?

After a minute he replied, my heart clenched, ahhh I'm so happy

yea I'm up

hungry? You didn't eat anything today

I drank apple juice now, I'll have food later

okay, rest well!!

I kept my phone down after seeing that he saw my message. Serim gave me a thumbs up, i feel so different.. so positive.. I'll make you love me back Joshua
