The Birthday Surprise!


- KARINA -

"Happy birthday princess!" my entire family greeted me. Today, I'm celebrating my 18th birthday, and they organized a party though I don't want to have one.

They invited all even their business partners, of course. My best friends are also here, Chaeryeong and Yuna and even Daehwi but there's one missing Minjeong.

I know for sure she didn't forget my special day and I already told her the place so that she can go straight after the fashion show she's attending right now.

I glanced at my wrist watch. The party is nearly ending and she's not yet here, does she get into something?

I picked up my phone from the table to see any message(s) coming from her, there's none so I sent her one asking her where exactly she was and put it back on the table. Putting aside my worry, I mingle with my friends and visitors.

Then my dad called out my attention at the center with my entire family and Jeno?

Before going to them, I threw an undistinguished look to my friends and their reaction were the same as mine.

" Jimin, come now "

"yes dad " then I strode to them.

The stares of my two siblings gave me shivers down to my spine. I scrunch my eyebrows and fixed my gaze to them trying to seek answers to what I am feeling right now. Then mom, who really tried hard to attend my debut hold my arm and pulled me down to her.

" say yes baby okay? " and I was like huh?

"Yes, for what mom? " she shook her head and told "you gonna make me happy today baby "

My surroundings began to swirl? What's going on? Why do my siblings look unhappy while my parents feel the contrary?

" Jimin? " Jeno called and knelt down in front of me as he opened a small box revealing a white diamond ring.

Oh shit ! this is a joke right?

I turned back to my siblings. Irene closed her eyes and Jaehyun mouthed me the word sorry! So they knew that's why they both looked awful.

Then Jeno starts to talk again.

Oh god! If I just can, I'll duct tape his mouth this instant.

" Jimin, I know we've been in awful situations these past months. I know also that you are having second thoughts about me but I want you to know that I'm very much worth it to give me that chance, we've known each other like forever and I couldn't see myself with someone other than you. So in front of all these people and your family. I, Lee Jeno, asking your hand Jimin Yu to be my lawfully wife "

Darn! so it's real he's asking me right? goodness what I'm going to say? Of course No! but my parents are here and mom!!!! oh mom...

" Jimin? Jeno is asking you " dad told me grinning as he kissed my cheek.

"I... I know dad. I just can't breathe " I hold my chest and feel my heart wanting to explode from being cornered to this set up.

" Jimin, will you marry me??? " he asked me again and he's now holding my hand.

Sh*t! Someone please help me.

I'm starting to sweat and I'm really hyperventilating. Then mom held my other hand.

"Baby, are you okay? " She asked weakly and I involuntarily nodded.

"Remember what I've told you? "

My mom put me in this...mom he's not what I want but I can't tell it to you. If this is what you want then.....then.......

"y.....y... I gulped.

" ye...??? " Jeno trails off and patiently waits for my answer.

"y..."

I really can't breathe, where's the air? I need oxygen please...

And everything went black out.

~~~

" Rina, are you okay now? " Ningning asked me.

I looked around. I'm already in my room, in my bed and I saw my other friends in a circle with their eyes fixed to one direction.

" what? god my head hurt " I said rubbing my temple.

" Rina... " they exclaimed in unison staring at me earnestly.

" yes?? " No one responded.

" guys, you freaking me out " the door swung open and Minju walked in.

" you're now engaged to Jeno, Jim." she told without pausing.

" WHAT?" and then I feel something in my finger. I brought it up just to see the diamond ring in it.

" H... how? t... this can't be... I didn't say yes " I exclaimed while my eyesight was still glued to the ring.

" You started a letter Y before you fainted so I think they assumed that it was a yes " Seulgi told hugging me.

" But it's just a y for Christ's sake! I was pressured there and mom... mom" I shrugged my shoulders and covered my face with my hands.

"I'm sorry, Rina."

" No, this can't be happening, this isn't happening " and for the nth time my eyes started to produce tears again.

" Your mom was very happy. " Somi said, holding my hand.

"I know. She really wanted Jeno to be my other half " I looked down thinking about Minjeong.

"So what about now? How about Winter? "

"I don't know either. I really don't know "

Minjeong? How about her? she's the one I want, the one I truly love but how can I fight for her this time where mom's happiness is at stake?

Can the ground eat me whole and alive? Because if it's a yes, then I'm willing to be eaten up and sacrificed myself to avoid this marriage.
