I picked a baby pink dress from the closet as I admire myself in the mirror with the dress on. I had never seen myself in a dress. A nice dress anyway. It makes me happy...
Then a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I flinch from his touch, but ease into his comfort once he reassures me.
"Don't worry baby girl. I'll be with you the whole time. We can hold hands underneath the table and then cuddle after."
"I like the sound of that." I smile as he kisses my neck from behind.
He takes my hand and leads me down the grand stairs.
We were greeted with a long table filled with foods. Fancy foods. All too posh and rich for me.
I greeted both Jungkook's parents. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you Mr and Mrs Jeon." I said respectfully and Jungkook pulled the seat out for me. They stay silent, as if I wasn't there.
"Jungkook dear, your father gave you this life. Don't forget that. That you are continuing the family line. We can't be seem with lower class girls. Honestly, it makes me seem associated with them.' She continues to cut her food.
I give Jungkook a worried look and stare at my lap. I guess I wasn't giving a good impression already. Then I saw Jungkook hand on my thigh, giving me a little squeeze.
" I know this lovely, pretty girl from Italy. Her father has connections with your dad. We could always try and-"
"Mother, don't be so rude! I love Seol. She's kind and pretty who's soon to be my wife. I'm old enough to choose my own partners without you interfering."
"Don't you dare raise your voice Jungkook! Your mother was telling the truth. We won't force you, but just take it into consideration, for our sake, and for the family's sake." Jungkook father spoke as he wipes a napkin over his mouth.
Everyone carried on eating while I was continuously stabbing this one potato.
"Why aren't you eating?" Jungkook whispers in my ear.
"I just don't feel very hungry." I whisper back, giving a little smile.
"She doesn't deserve to eat. She's already been introduced into this luxury house. Is that not enough for you? You've just got to take advantage of the food as well."
I stood up and walked away from the table. Leaving Jungkook and his family alone. I couldn't stand it. It was infuriating, upsetting, stressful.
I quickly walked up the stairs and into my room. Slamming the door shut and leaning against it. Tears fell from my eyes as I weakly slide down the door until I was sitting on the floor with my back against the door.
Am I really not enough?
*Jungkook's POV*
I glared at my mother
"What Jungkook, you look like you have something to say? So say it!"
"Look if it's about that girl, I don't want to hear-"
"Why are you so mean?"
She stopped abruptly and wiped her mouth with a napkin before speaking.
"I don't see how that was rude Jungkook, you see, you'll understand-"
"You know I love her and yet you keep fucking up my life!! This is why I left, you were so controlling and selfish that you kept your own son isolated from the world. I guess this is why I am the way I am!!! Because mothers like you, don't deserve to be mothers!" I
