I went home that day feeling a bit better. When I came back, it was one o' clock and thankfully, my mom was still asleep. I felt calm like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Sha Jin always made me feel like that. He completely changed my whole mindset on things. I'm so thankful to have him as a friend. I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water and went back to my room to go to sleep. It was a peaceful sleep. I dreamt about my mom and I going to the mall and getting everything we wanted without restriction. It felt good. Soon, we were going to have that. I woke up the next morning and jumped at the sight of my mom sitting on the edge of my bed. She had a tray of breakfast for me. "Breakfast in bed, how nice." I said in my groggy morning voice. My mom chuckled and handed me breakfast. On the tray, there was Jjigae, banchan, an omelet and orange juice. I ate everything and as soon as I finished, my mom said, "We are going to Jungkook's home again today." I felt all the food starting to gurgle around in my stomach. "Today?" Was all I managed to get out. "Yes today, what's wrong?" My mom asked. I really didn't want to go. "Nothing" I said. This was absolutely insane. I felt very uncomfortable. "Okay then, go get ready!" Feeling uneasy, I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I was thinking about how things would be like at Jungkook's house. Of course, Sha Jin's advice made me feel better but still. I felt that something was going to go wrong. After my shower, I put on a nice dress because if I didn't, my mom would send me back to change. I put on perfume, lotion, and makeup and went outside where my mom was waiting in the car. When we arrived, we went inside the big mansion and were welcomed with food and drinks. I ate some things but I didn't feel like eating anything. This was terrible. I had to go into Jungkook's room again and "talk to him", but when I went, I felt extremely unwelcomed. We didn't make any conversation and he was just on his computer which was facing away from me, and doing his work. I was holding in frustrated tears. Fortunately, my mom called me downstairs and I jumped off the bed. When I reached where my mom was, she said she had some amazing news. "Honey, we have decided to keep your wedding tomorrow. We have got your dress, venue, and everything else already prepared", said Jungkook's mom. I couldn't believe it. This felt so rushed. I faked a smile like I always did and then it was time to go home. My mom said our goodbyes and went home. When we were home, I took off all my makeup, wore my pajamas and went to bed. We already had dinner at the mansion so I was very full. I kept thinking about the wedding day which was tomorrow. I cried myself to sleep and woke up the next morning, feeling anxious. My mom woke me up at 7 in the morning and told me to shower. Then, we drove to the beauty salon with Jungkook's mom and I got my hair and makeup done. After that, we had a nice little lunch break but we had other things to do. I am not going to lie, it was kind of fun. But then, after we were done with everything including wearing my wedding dress and veil, it suddenly came to me. I was going to marry someone who hates me and doesn't want anything to do with me. I didn't really care because Sha Jin's advice was still with me. I wondered what Jungkook would be doing right now. He was probably very angry. Jungkook's mom came in and looked at me, her eyes crinkled in a smile. "You look lovely, my dear". I gave her a smile. The wedding would be starting in a couple of minutes so I started pacing around, gathering my nerves. Soon, it was time. I walked down the aisle with my mom. Through the crowd, I saw Sha Jin. I grinned at him and he did it back. I saw Jungkook, who had a serious expression on his face. I suddenly felt scared and unsafe. I'm going to survive this, I thought to myself. I reached the platform and my mom stepped aside into the crowd. Now, I was looking Jungkook right in the eyes. My hands were shaking but I ignored it. People were looking at us and I felt very nervous. It was time for the vows which we didn't make of our own. So, one of Jungkook's friends started. "Do you, Myeong, take Jungkook as your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" "I do." These words pained me. The friend continued. "Do you, Jeon Jungkook, take Kim Soo as your lawfully wedded wife, whom you will take care of, bring peace, blessings and harmony, till death do you part?" It took a couple seconds until he said "I do". "You may now kiss the bride". Jungkook aggressively pulls me toward him and kisses me. He whispers, "you're so disgusting, I hate you so much". People are clapping and cheering and Jungkook lets go of me. He had held me so tight my body hurt. We had the whole wedding which lasted a couple more hours. Me and Jungkook were forced to dance together to this romantic song. People were recording us as we danced. This time, Jungkook was being gentle. He was actually good at dancing. He wasn't holding me in an aggressive tight way. Instead, he held me just right and effortlessly swayed me around along with the music. It actually felt good to be held this way and dancing like this. But it was over too soon and people turned away so Jungkook harshly let go of me. Soon, it was time. I had to go to Jungkook's house. I wasn't really scared of this because this was Jungkook's mom's house. I was about to get in the car when Jungkook's mom came up to me, smiling. "Dear, you will be driving with Jungkook to your separate house". I was too shocked to say anything. They had a separate house for us? This was dangerous. Who knew how Jungkook would treat me there with no one looking. I fake smiled and she closed the car door. I watched her walk to her car until Jungkook came in and slammed the door shut. He looked dangerously mad. He started driving without saying anything. We stayed silent. After driving for about an hour, we reached the big mansion in which we were to stay. Jungkook parked the car, turned to face me, and gave me the hardest slap. I yelped. "I've been wanting to do that all day", he said with his cold, deep voice. I started crying. He got mad and said "stop crying or else I'll do worse". He told me to go pick up the bags and he stormed inside the house. I cried and cried as I picked up the bags. His deep voice scared me. Who knew what else he would do to me. I carried the bags inside the house trying not to cry even more. I closed the door and saw Jungkook sitting on the sofa, waiting for me. He looked up and saw me. I laid down the bags with our belongings and was about to sit on the sofa until Jungkook stopped me. "Who said you could sit?" I'm in shock. I can't even sit? "I'm sorry", I said, fearing the consequences if I refused. I felt so stupid and weak letting someone control me like this. "My girlfriend is coming over tomorrow and as you can see, there are no maids here. I haven't hired any. You know why?" I knew what the answer was. I would be the only "maid" here. Jungkook continued, "you will be cleaning here every single day. You have to clean the whole house and make it look like a home so it's nice and clean for my girlfriend tomorrow." How was I going to clean this whole house all by myself? "You won't be sleeping tonight because you're going to stay up and clean", Jungkook said in his angry, cold voice. "Okay", was all I could say. Jungkook went up to bed and yelled at me to get a glass of water for him and deliver it upstairs. My life is going to be so miserable, I thought as I was filling up Jungkook's water. After delivering it to him upstairs, he yelled at me again to go back downstairs and to not bother him. I spent the whole night cleaning and by the time I was done, it was 4 am. This house was huge so it took me a while. My whole body was aching from cleaning, sweeping, dusting, and mopping. I realized that I forgot to clean the bathrooms so I hurried and cleaned all of them. My body hurt even more and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground, in pitch darkness.
