Heroin(e) -tripleS-

Soxinz VI

A month has passed. They got to see each other a few times before Xinyu got busier and her father got stricter than before.

Sohyun's father decided to invest in some entertainment company. Fortunately, it brings good results to their company also thanks to Sohyun because she never stopped trying as she was determined to not repeat the same mistake as before. Where she neglected her father and her company.

The date on some card is stared by Sohyun for a few minutes. The date stated that it's due tomorrow, where Xinyu will officially be pronounced as Mrs.

She stared at it with blank eyes. She don't know what to feel anymore. It will be a happy day for Xinyu but her heart is feeling otherwise.

Her calmness nowadays is accompanied with emptiness not a peacefulness as before. Her tea that usually tastes so aromatic and soothing before, is now not even boosting her mood and tastes bland.

Visiting China right now is not making her excited anymore as she had other reasons why she's here again which is not a good reason for her. Yet, she knows she can't let her feelings alone ruining such a happy day tomorrow.

Little did she know that tomorrow is actually a horrible day for Xinyu too. They have been acting fine, hiding their actual feelings and having miscommunication just to not let their relationship get worse, not knowing it's actually what is drifting them more apart.

Xinyu's staring at her white sparkling wedding dress in her changing room. That dress is located right in front of the door where she can easily see it even if she's sitting on her bed. That dress is taken care so well because it's for a very special occasion. At least, for her father.

Yesterday was a hectic day for her because she went to meet her fiance and everything else. So today, she didn't have to do anything until the d-day. However, she has been sitting and lying on her bed for a whole day, yet she still feels tired.

Maybe her restlessness of meeting her fiance yesterday is permanent until today or maybe it's her soul that is never resting since that day where her father announced such an insane decision.

It's actually not like her fiance is not good for her or anything else, but it just feels not right for her to meet him. Nothing would be the reason for this feelings of her other than Sohyun.

They have been ex lovers for years now, but everything they did reminded them of each other. Time is moving forward but their hearts are still stuck on that day where the last time they called each other 'my girlfriend'.

Xinyu's sighing as she feels suffocated of all the possibilities that are burdening her heart if she continues this unwilling marriage. Tomorrow will be the end of this time ticking bomb where if she doesn't stop this, she would be burdened by it forever.

However, it's a lie if she said she had never tried to stop this before. She could find herself running away from the wedding if she's so desperate on that day.

The early morning of d-day....

Sohyun puts her dress that she will wear in the changing room at some luxurious boutique she has been visiting every time she has a special occasion in Beijing before she's heading to some room where she will get her makeup done.

The workers there have been in a good relationship with Sohyun since she's known for her kind-hearted role and the workers are all friendly.

But, there's still a new worker that is in her 30s that is not so familiar to Sohyun yet but she's still approaching Sohyun friendly since she's the one who will be her makeup artist today.

"What a special occasion today?", her makeup artist spontaneously asked her as she's getting ready with the makeup tools beside Sohyun.

"It's a wedding ceremony", Sohyun's giving her smiles through the mirror in front of her. She answered so cool, not interrupted with other unpleasant emotions. Or she's actually resisting it.

"Omo! Congrats to them. Who's the main character today? Your friend?", her makeup artist is getting excited about the topic as she should since it's good news. At least, to everyone who doesn't know.

"Urmm... It's actually my ex. Hahah".

"Aahhh... Ahahahah", and that worker was stunned and now is laughing awkwardly and trying to find her friends around her to save her.

Unfortunately, her other friends are nowhere to be found until she feels like she has to save this awkward situation herself. Actually, she's the only one who is awkward right now.

"It's okay, you can still find such a good man in this world".

"Mhm, you're right. But.... My ex is actually the one who will wear a fine white dress".

And the worker is stunned once again.

"Do you need anything?", ask one of the staff who is in charge of organizing Xinyu's wedding ceremony.

"No, thank you", Xinyu replied with a low tone and a slight smile before the staff left her.

She's in her extremely beautiful phases right now. Her naturally pretty face is covered with naturally bright makeup. Her hair is formed to well-braided long black hair that is decorated with some small flowers and her hair is placed on her left bare shoulder and on top of that is a shining diamonds metal crown.

A shiny white wedding dress that is decorated with beautifully organized laces is nicely wrapping her body and only revealing her collar bone, shoulders, arms and hands. Her feet are covered nicely with shining white heels.

However, this beautiful human is not feeling so pretty right now. She's currently sitting stiffly on the platform of their wedding photoshoot, not the official platform where people could see them.

Everyone in front of her has started to get busy as the groom that is from his house, is getting closer to the building of a special hall which they have rented to hold the ceremony but she's still sitting peacefully.

To be exact, it's not even peaceful for her. Not even a bit. She may seem fine on the outside, but no one could tell what's inside her heart. Her restless heart is synchronized with her overworked mind that only one person could end her endless suffering. No other than Sohyun.

Her father came and talked to her for a few minutes to give her motivation to stop feeling nervous. She just smiles it away and doesn't even fully pay attention to it. Until her father leaves her, every smile she just gave is as fake as she could.

To her, motivation is not what she's waiting for right now. She's waiting for a word that is telling her that it's okay to stop everything. "Come back to me. I'll be there for you".
