A week later
Jake POV
"Why can't you just give it up? I don't love her!" I huffed.
"I don't care Jake, you better step up or else you're out of this household." Mum threatened.
"Honey don't say that, he's our son..." Dad chimed in.
"He's YOUR son. I don't know who this disobedient child is anymore." Mum said calmly before heading off to her room.
"How could you say that to our son! Do you know how much he looks up to you?" Dad started, chasing after her.

A week later
"Can we just push past this topic?" Dad shouted, running a hand through his hair.
"No we cannot!" Mum scoffed.
"I don't want to marry her! Why can't I just marry someone I love!" I huffed, storming off.
"Sim Jaeyun come back this instant!" Mum shouted as I ignored her, walking off to my room.

3 days later
"Just stop!" I shouted.
"Don't talk to me like that Sim Jaeyun, you better watch that rude mouth of yours!" Mum shouted as tears rolled down my face.
"Are you not happy with the way we're living now? Is this too little for you?" I shouted, tears streaming down my face.
"Why would you be satisfied when we can have more?" Mum scoffed.
"Your so greedy! All you want is money so much so that you lose your own self decency!" I shouted, storming off.

A week later
"I dont want to marry Chaesoo! Can't you just understand? I want to love someone like a normal person and not be forced into a toxic marriage that I don't want!" I cried.
"Chaesoo is a bully! Do you not know that she got suspended for 3 days because of bullying? Or are you too blinded by money? Do you not have any self respect? How could you sell off your son with a contract for a mere sum of money?" I shouted.
And then, I felt it.
My cheek felt... numb...
My mother had slapped me.
For the first time she had just laid hands on me.
"Honey I think you should calm down." Dad sighed, pulling mum away as he signalled for me to head up to my room.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Hey love!" I smiled, icing my cheek.
"Ieku? What happened? Is it about Chaesoo?" She asked, concerned.
"Yeah, my mum and I fought again." I smiled.
"How could you smile like that! Did she slap you?" Miso huffed, moving her phone closer to her face.
"She did but I'm fine." I smiled.
"Take the ice pack off, I wanna see." She sighed as I removed the ice pack.
"Gosh it's so red! Did she slap you that hard?" He asked, concerned.
"Dunno, I didn't feel anything." I smiled.
"Are your parents home?" She asked as I nodded my head.
"Well mine aren't, come over!" She laughed.
"Oh really?" I gasped.
"Mhm, my dad saved up and brought my grandparents for a 3 day getaway to the other side of town." Miso laughed.
"But they're coming back tomorrow." She informed as I nodded.
"Okay then! I'll be there in 10." I informed, getting up.

Miso POV
I was washing up the dishes when I heard the doorbell ring.
I quickly rushed to the door and saw that it was Jake.
"Hey love!" He laughed, pulling me into a bear hug.
"Does your dad know I'm here?" He asked, pulling away.
"No... but my grandma does!" I laughed before letting him in.
"Ooh that's good." He laughed, taking off his shoes.
"Mmm, you can wear my dad's slippers for now." I smiled, taking them out from the cabinet.
He smiled before putting them on.
"Have you had lunch?" I asked, walking towards the living room.
"Nope." He smiled, shaking his head.
"Mm well, I can make you some instant noodles?" I suggested, entering the kitchen.
"Sure!" He smiled as I took a packet of instant noodles out from the cabinet.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"Thank you!" Jake exclaimed as I placed his bowl of instant noodles down along with some side dishes.
"You're welcome." I smiled, ruffling his hair as he hugged me on the waist.
"Hurry and eat before they get cold." I smiled, planting a kiss on the top of his head as he pulled away.
I sat across him as he began munching on his noodles.
He suddenly choked on his noodles and I quickly handed him some water.
"Eat slowly, are you that hungry?" I laughed as he nodded.
"I didn't eat the whole day." He laughed, his mouth full of food.
"Oh wait!" I exclaimed, getting up and heading to the kitchen.
"We have cherries in the fridge right?" I mumbled, opening the fridge to see a small box of cherries.
I smiled before putting on a pair of gloves and a mask before taking out the cherries and transferring some of them into a bowl.
"Love?" Jake said as I washed the cherries.
"Yeah?" I replied, draining the water.
"What are you doing?" He asked, inching closer.
"Washing cherries, why?" I laughed, turning around.
"With gloves and a mask?" He laughed.
"I'm allergic, that's why." I laughed, handing him the cherries.
"Really? Is that why you gave me your cherry jelly?" He laughed as we both made our way back to the table.
"How did you know I was the one who gave it to you?" I gasped.
"Seojin told me... Is it because you liked me then?" He giggled.
"I didn't at that time, I just didn't want to waste it." I laughed.
"Eyy... come on you totally liked me then right?? Was I growing on you or something?" He teased as I ignored him.
