It was raining when I first saw her. Everyone around me was scattering trying to find shelter, but not her..no..instead she stood under the rain. I remember being confused by this, why would a grown woman stand under the rain like that when even children were running. Who would have thought that 1 year later that same woman would be waiting for me at the end of the altar.
"You ready?" Momo looks at me with a wide smile on her face and I just nod, "You know Satang..Mina-chan's really nice and.."
"Momo." I stopped my best friend before she could say more.
"Right..well, everyone's waiting."
"Okay..let's get this over with." I force a small smile out.
And as I walk down that aisle towards a woman I know practically nothing about, I find myself thinking life really fucking sucks.

Hi,
I have an overnight shift at the hospital today. I made you dinner, you just need to reheat it.
-M.
"Well at least my wife can cook." I grab the sticky note from the fridge, "But too bad for her I'm not hungry." I toss the note away, making my way to our room to change out of my office attire.
Momo let's go out..I don't want to be home.
Sorry Satang but your wife paged me to the hospital
"Well okay..."
Jihyo-chan~~
No Sana-chan.
Tsk you don't even know what I was going to say.
You want to go out...again right?
"I should have asked Nayeon first."
Nayeon unnie
Hmmm unnie huh...what do you need Sana-chan?
Do you want to hangout tonight? The others are all busy...
I would..but I'm flying to LA.
NANI?!
Last minute thing with my parents.
Okay..safe travels.
Why don't you ask your hot wife.
We barely even talk
So you agree...she's hot.
Bye.
"Why have friends when they're all busy." I sulk, tossing my phone on the couch, heading to the kitchen to eat the food she made.
"Of course it tastes good." I roll my eyes as I eat the ravioli she made..a white truffle ravioli that I told her I'd been craving.
Even though she knows I hated this set-up...that I didn't want this..
"Why marry if you don't even love me?" Sana asks Mina, after their parents formally announce their marriage, cornering the girl who was standing off to a corner by herself.
"I could ask you the same." Mina looks at Sana, her honest eyes looking at Sana's inquistely.
"Hmm..they said you were a doctor not a lawyer."
"And they said you were a CEO not a psychologist."
"Touche." Sana nods, the image of Mina standing under the rain coming to the forefront of her mind so suddenly that she couldn't help but to ask, "Why?"
