~' I'm okay (I'm not okay). I don't want to see you (I really want to see you). I have to say, say, These lies that, Don't even come from my heart. Because my heart won't listen to these words as I thought. Come back, come back, come back. When half of me is gone. How can I live as one. '~
Author POV
On the other side of the city, a young girl of about 24 entered her house wearing a party wear, only to get yelled at by her beloved mother.
?? - "Where the hell were you? It's 1 in the afternoon and you didn't get back home yesterday night!"
?- "Ugh mom I already have a headache... please don't make it worse"
?? - "Why are you being so irresponsible? You know that your marriage has been fixed. It's just a matter of a few days before you become a married woman and look at you getting back home in the morning!"
? - "Dad look at mom... nagging at me early in the morning not even letting me get into the house properly"
??? - "Areum your mom is right... you can enjoy life but that too has a certain limit. Getting drunk and coming back home the next day is totally not acceptable."
Areum keeps her head down after listening to her father, she definitely respected and loved her father a lot but when he had arranged an alliance for her without considering her opinion, she felt cornered and controlled which had led to her disobedience last night.
Areum - "Sure Mr. Cho you are always right... I'm sorry for drinking my problems away."
Mr. and Mrs. Cho felt bad for pushing their child into such a situation but they felt like they had done their best to secure a better future for Areum.
After Areum left for her room to freshen up, Mr. Cho left for the office and Mrs. Cho was busy with her chores.
It was a rather peaceful day for the Cho's until the news of Jaehyun, the chosen groom for Areum being involved in a scandal reached them.
Areum was half happy, half sad, happy because she thought her parents might rethink their decision, and sad because of the thought of her parents' disappointment as they were extremely happy with the alliance.
She was looking at the news channel which was displaying the scandal of Jung Jaehyun, looking closely, Areum realized the girl Jaehyun was carrying was indeed herself.
Areum was dumbfounded and rushed to the living room where her parents were discussing the situation.
Areum - "Dad... that girl involved in the scandal was me."
Mr. Cho - "What are you talking about Areum?"
Areum - "Yes dad, I was totally wasted yesterday, all I remember was someone taking me into a room because I almost blacked out. But nothing actually happened in the room, he just helped me get in and left the room."
Mr. Cho - "Ok, alright I'll look into this matter and get it cleared out, but areum are you happy with the alliance?"
Areum - "Dad I have absolutely no idea bout this Jaehyun guy but I want to give it a chance as both you and mom think it will be a good idea."
Mrs. Cho pulled her into a hug and spoke, "I'm so proud of you Areum please give him a chance, if you still don't want this relationship you can back out we will never force you."
Areum went to her room determined to meet Jaehyun and then decide, you never know what the future holds for you. Areum thought
On the other side of the town, Jihyun was trying everything she can to try and get her brother out of this mess, but with the company not cooperating, and fans rioting, she felt helpless. In fact, even the board members told her to get an official statement from her brother to handle the chaos.
All of a sudden at 9 p.m. the Cho's released an official statement about the engagement and also revealed that the girl involved in the scandal was their daughter.
The situation calms a little but most fans were unpleased with the news of Jaehyun being engaged. With two of the main visuals of NCT being committed, fans started demanding they leave the group or work harder to meet their expectations.
Working harder is what NCT did for the next few weeks, to meet up with the expectations, handle the pressure caused by the entertainment, to overcome the chaos caused by fans, they pushed harder. But they forgot that everyone can only push to some limit, if pushed beyond they bend and eventually they break.
And that's exactly what happened...
