His Bride - A Minsung Story

二十二

Jisung's POV:

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" I cling tighter to Soonie, a little bit unnerved by this whole interaction. All I want is to get away, her aura scares me.

"Minho never told you about me?" She asks, "I'm Kayla."

My brain doesn't immediately make the connection, "Who? Sorry I don't think I know you."

I see how the anger rises within her and she starts yelling in a shrill voice, "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?!"

I flinch back and take a couple steps back. I don't want anything to do with this situation, "Sorry." I say in a small voice.

Kayla puts her hand on her forehead like she's fighting a headache, "I was Minho's fiancé. Ring any bells?"

I recall the day I got married and how the girls were gossiping about how a girl named Kayla ran away from the wedding. Recognition flits across my face as I realize the girl in front of me was the girl Minho wanted to marry. If this was a month ago, I would've yelled at her for leaving the wedding and forcing me to get married to Minho. But now.....now I have a strong urge to thank her. I don't because it'll probably make her angry, but the urge is there. Minho and I have become close within the last month, even kissed, and I don't want to let any of that go.

"What are you doing here? If I recall, you ran out at the wedding," I sigh, already done with this conversation.

"I got nervous is all, he wasn't supposed to marry someone else! Now I've come back to claim Minho back from you," Kayla looks at her nails bored, "I thought it was going to be hard but seeing you, I have a feeling this is gonna be a breeze."

I steel my eyes, ready to fight to keep Minho, "Bitch, just because I'm a commoner doesn't mean I'm easy."

"I bet Minho only deals with you because he's forced to." Kayla scoffs, "I know you only married him for his money, you dirty commoner."

"I literally didn't but why not? I would be an upgrade from you because it's not like he wanted to marry you for you looks, which are shit by the way. Have you considered a mask to cover it up" I make a hand gesture towards her face, "Yeah, just alllll of that."

"Ugh shut up! He probably just stays with you out of pity because your personality is shit," Kayla yells, getting visibly upset. I roll my eyes, I hate having to deal with people like this.

"Again, not like he wanted to marry you for your peachy personality," I glare at her harshly, "Are we done with this conversation because I don't want to listen to your shrill, annoying voice any longer."

"Why are you so smart?! They said you were stupid cause you're a commoner!" Her face becomes red with embarrassment and anger.

"I can be smart when I want to, bitch," Looks like Minho dodged a bullet with this one. Maybe marrying me was the best option in this entire situation, imagine being stuck with this annoying girl the rest of your life. I shudder at the thought.

"I'm going to tell Minho what you said about using him for money."

"Literally when did I say that?" I question but she's already turned to walk away, "Not like he's going to believe you anyway!"

"He will!" She screams over her shoulder. I see one of the maids frozen in shock and I offer her a reassuring smile before she scurries away. I sigh, I can't wait for Felix to tell my the rumors about this whole fiasco.

I see Kayla stomping off in the distance and I'm starting to wonder if she's okay in the head. Maybe she needs therapy or something. There's no way Minho will believe her.
