I was sitting on the kitchen island working on my new art project. Going to art school was my dream. However, financial problems do exist. My mom is sitting on the dining table, a paper in her hand. Another bill, I thought. My mom was tapping the table continuously. It's what she did when she was stressed. You might be wondering, where is the dad? Well, my dad cheated on my mom and left her for another woman. That's when things started falling apart. My mom started drinking and eventually got fired from her job. I tried helping her get back on her feet but somehow, nobody wanted to accept her until Sha Jin. He was my best friend and he helped my mom get a job in his workplace. My mom finally had a job but still, things were a bit hard. All the bills that we had in the past added up so much that we still couldn't pay for it after my mom got a job. So, now my mom is going full-on stress mode. I stare at her, thinking how hard it must be for her to deal with all of this. I want to help her as much as I can. My big plans for the future are slowly becoming more vivid and vivid. I want to give my mom everything once I start selling paintings and get more money. "Mom, do you want me to make you some tea?' I asked her. "Sure, thanks honey", my mom replied. I went inside the kitchen and started to fill up the kettle. As I was doing so, I heard my mom's phone ring and she answered it. "Yes, mhm, okay we will be there soon", was all I heard. My mom comes inside the kitchen and she doesn't look so stressed anymore. "Myeong, we have to go somewhere, put on some makeup and wear something nice, hurry!" I don't know what's going on but my mom doesn't give me time to argue or even say a word. A couple minutes later, I find myself in a short, tight dress and a full face of makeup. I feel uncomfortable. Why isn't my mom telling me where we're going? I'm told to hurry up so I take my phone and purse and walk out the door. I hop inside the car and my mom starts driving at an alarming speed rate. When we stop, I see a big mansion with a huge garden on all sides. It's so beautiful I have never seen anything like it. I don't even know why we're here but my mom ushers me out of the car. As we reach the big french doors of the big mansion, I see a woman open the door. She had on a beautiful, long, black dress with a see-through floral pattern on the sleeves. Her makeup looked so natural and so well-done. I could never do my makeup like that. The woman welcomes us inside her home and tells us to sit down. The couches were too pretty to sit down on, of course. We sit down and a servant comes to offer a drink. It seems like some sort of juice. I politely decline since I am in no mood to drink. I want to go home and change this extremely uncomfortable dress. The woman looks at me and says, "Kim, your daughter is so pretty! So perfect for my son!" I almost gasp. What in the world? Perfect for her son? My mom chuckles and rubs my hand. I fake a smile and ask, "what is going on?" The rich woman says, "Kim, you haven't told your daughter yet?! Well, Myeong, your mom and I were really good friends in highschool and recently I found out about the rough time you were going through. So, I decided to help by bringing you and your mom into this family and also getting her to work with me!" My son doesn't have a dad either so I felt that both of you would share a bond like no other and here we are!" I am lost for words. I don't even know this guy and all of a sudden I'm getting married to him?! "I wanted it to be a surprise for you so I didn't say anything", my mom happily says. More like I didn't tell you because you would say no and we would still be in the same condition. Before I can even say a word, the woman excitedly says "let me take you upstairs to my son." I am forced to follow her upstairs and we stop at another pair of huge french doors. The woman opens the door and I see a handsome looking figure busy at work. He is wearing a suit and he is combing his hands through his hair, particularly in stress. "Jungkook, meet your fiance, Myeong." The handsome man named Jungkook turns around with a smile on his face. "I will leave you two alone now", his mom says, giving me a wink. I pull down my short dress and Jungkook stands up, slowly walking towards me. I hold in my breath, not knowing what's about to happen. My hands feel sweaty and I try to brush them off on my dress. Jungkook stops in front of me and says "I hate that I have to marry you but I have to. For my mom, of course. When we do get married though, I have some rules. Number one, I have a girlfriend so she will be coming over here everyday which means you have to stay in your separate bedroom. Number two, never ever bother me when I am working. Number three, I do get very angry so you have to do everything I ask you to. If you don't, then well, you don't wanna imagine what I will do to you." I am lost for words and all I can do is nod. There is something so scary about this man and I can't explain it. Jungkook looks me up and down in disgust and walks back to his desk. He tells me to get out and so I do, brushing tears off my face. I am scared for what's to come.
