Jeonghan's Forced Marriage

Chapter 11

Jeonghan woke up the next day with a severe headache.

'Jagiya~' Jeonghan cried out, clutching onto his throbbing head.

'I'm not your wife Jeonghan'

Jeonghan looked up from the bed and saw Seungcheol holding a tray of soup.

'This will help your hangover'

'Why are you here? Where's Minji?'

'You don't remember yesterday?'

'Hmm? We went to drink right?'

'Do you remember what happened when Mingyu and Minji arrived?'

'They were late. I don't remember them even turning up'

'Well, you were telling Jun how much you were thankful that they were late since it meant more time away from Minji. They overheard you so Mingyu punched you and Minji slapped you'

'Huh?'

'They left with Dokyeom who sent them home and you got your prize money from Jun'

'That means... I GOT 2 MILLION WON RICHER! I WON THE BET! I WON THE bet, I WON the bet, I won the... bet?'

Seungcheol was confused at Jeonghan's sudden change in tone.

'Han, what's wrong?'

'Cheol... I... I didn't actually win the bet. I lost from the very start'

'What are you blabbering about Jeonghan?'

'I... I... Call Shua here. I'll explain when he is here'

Seungcheol just agreed and called Joshua over.

'Hey! How are you feeling?'

'Dead'

'Explain now Jeonghan'

Seungcheol was getting impatient waiting for Jeonghan to explain.

'I lost the bet'

'I know but I still don't know how and why'

'He fell in love with Minji'

Joshua simply stated.

'He what?! Yoon Jeonghan!'

'I'm sorry! I really love her but my stupid pride just had to accept Jun's bet even though I knew I already broke the no strings attached rule'

'Then how did Shua know'

'Whenever Jun talks about the bet, Han would smirk but he always felt guilty cause he would start shaking his leg and try to change the conversation. But whenever people ask about his marriage and how Minji was, his eyes were always filled with pride and love'

'But drunk people confess truthfully. He was drunk when he talked about how much he hated Minji'

'I was still sober and all that I said was just to spite Jun but I didn't expect Minji to walk in and overhear... I drank more after that till I was actually drunk'

Seungcheol stayed silent, processing what Jeonghan just said. How did he become friends with such an idiot?

'Cheol, Shua, please help me...'

Jeonghan has tears continuously flowing down his cheeks, regretting every bit that happened last night.

'Talk to Gyu first. If he can forgive you, it would be easier'

'But Kim Mingyu hates me'

'He doesn't HATE you, he just doesn't agree with your lifestyle'

'I...'

Jeonghan looked down and continued again.

'I was never the playboy you all imagined I was or how I portrayed myself to be'

'Come on Jeonghan! Stop trying to make yourself seem better'

'I'm not... You know how I said I knew I broke the no strings attached rule from the start? I... I liked Minji since we were young when Mr Kim introduced his family during a gathering when Minji was 17. Is been 5 years and I kept trying to get her out of my heart since I knew she would never be mine. All my so-called girlfriends were all fake. We never kissed, hugged or held hands. I just couldn't bring myself to replace the girl in my heart. That night with Minji, it was actually my first time and when Minji brought up about my ex-girlfriends, my... my heart broke. She believed Kim Mingyu that there were other girls in my life. I treasure and love her so much'

Joshua wrapped his arms around Jeonghan's shoulder, patting and comforting him. Seungcheol combed his hand through his hair, trying to figure out how to help Jeonghan fix the problem he caused himself.

'Go and rest Han, I'll try to fix a meeting with Mingyu so that you can explain to him yourself'

'Thanks Cheol'

'Rest well Han. Come down when you wake up again and feel better'

'Mmm'

Jeonghan closed his eyes even though they were still stained with tears.

Joshua and Seungcheol exited the room silently, planning how to help Jeonghan get back the so-called love of his life.

*OTP*

Seungcheol: Mingyu-ya, how is Minji?

Mingyu: She's fine. Don't act like you care. I'm very sure you knew about the bet

Seungcheol: Yes I knew but I tried to stop Jeonghan

Mingyu: Well clearly you were useless since my sister is crying

Seungcheol: Minji is still crying? Jeonghan wants to fix this. Can Jeonghan, Shua and I meet you tomorrow at the usual place?

Mingyu: Jeonghan wants to fix this? Tch! As if it's not just to ruin my sister further and break her heart again

Seungcheol: Stop being such a dick. Just meet us tomorrow.

Mingyu: Fine! But if I'm not convinced, Jeonghan can forget about fixing this relationship

*End call*
