SEOYEON FELT LIKE A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Although she studied hard, the outcome was never enough. Never up high enough to fit her standards.
It was fine, though, because it didn't matter in the end. She would wind up as a business worker for her parents.
That's how it was looking.
Not how she wanted it to look, though.
Seoyeon is a third year student at MH University and is majoring in Mathematics. Yeah... Mathematics. She was currently sitting at around a C.
Her parents were quite encouraging and were very passionate about what their children wanted. Despite this, though, Seoyeon's efforts felt like they weren't contributing to anything. After a talk with them, Seoyeon decided that she would drop out at the end of the school year.
With this in mind, that her parents were very considerate, fate took a turn that Seoyeon wasn't too fond of.
If you don't know, Seoyeon's (Ex) girlfriend just broke up with her about a month ago and left the country for work.
She, Ji Suhyeon, was a ballerina and ended up moving to the Netherlands. But before she did, she broke things off with Seoyeon in tears.
It was safe to say that Seoyeon was going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, and her parents new announcement was not a comforting hug.
"Honey, you have to consider this. This is a huge opportunity." Her father said as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
Seoyeon faught the urge to shrug it off and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and sighed. She looked up at her parents, who were giving her eyes that felt sympathetic and were begging.
She scoffed, "I break up with my girlfriend... And not even a month later... You want me to marry some person i don't even know?!" Her voice was loud and angry.
Her mother stepped forward, "Darling, calm dow-"
"Calm down?!" She dared, stepping back slightly and her father's hand dropping from her shoulder. "Not a fucking chance."
She breathed heavily, "I can't do this right now." She turned around and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her as she did so.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she walked through the luxurious walls of her house. It felt sickening to look at. The pure white and innocent decor didn't feel so comforting at all anymore.
It was a shame, because her favourite colour is white, but she can't seem to stand it at the moment.
She quickly tied on her shoes and grabbed a light jacket, heading out the front door, slamming it behind her also.
She walked. She didn't know where to, but she walked.
After about fifteen minutes, she ended up at a park. A small childrens playground. It was dark out and no one was to be seen. The lights of the houses and that surrounded her were turned off and it was quiet.
She walked over to the rusty swings and sniffled, wiping her cheeks with the back of her hand. She sat down and sighed, tilting her head back in exhaustion.
It wasn't until she felt as if she was going to fall asleep that someone spoke up behind her. "Tired?" They asked, their voice deep and smooth.
Seoyeon's soul literally jumped out of her body and returned again, "Oh my fuck..." She cursed in a whisper as she jumped out of the seat and turned around.
A girl stood before her, her hair long and dark. Although it was dark, it was easy to see that her skin was quite pale and her eyes were piercing.
"What the hell?!" Seoyeon exclaimed in horror, her hand holding down her jumping heart. "Holy mother of guac." She sighed.
The girl laughed and raised an eyebrow, "What did you just say?"
Seoyeon blinked, "I said what the hell?"
"No, after that."
"Oh... Holy mother of guac?" Seoyeon asked, her face contorting into confusion.
The girl laughed again, clutching onto the pole of the swings for support. Once she calmed down enough that she could speak, she breathed in, "Sorry."
She cleared her throat, "I guess i must've scared the sleep out of you."
Seoyeon still stood there in a shocked trance as she spoke, "Right."
The girl stared at her, looking at her face and outfit, noticing her tear-stained cheeks, red eyes and mismatched clothes. "Something happen?"
"Why should i tell you?" Seoyeon asked, not intending for it to come out as cheeky as it did.
The mysterious girl replied calmly, "It's not like we're going to meet again, right?" She said, "I walk away with this information and you'll never even see me again."
"And if i do?" She questioned, wanting to get things off her chest, but still a little wary of the stranger.
The girl simply brought two fingers from one corner of her mouth and dragged it to the other.
After Seoyeon stared at her for a moment with norrowed eyes, she finally sighed and run a hand through her hair.
She dumped out all her feelings and current issues to a stranger. A beautiful one, at that. Not that it matters, but just... So you know.
When the girls parted ways that night, they headed to their own homes in the dark. The girl who Seoyeon had met had arrived home eventually and went straight to bed.
When she woke up the next morning, her parents had told her to go sit in the living room for a small chat. Now, she was a little skeptical because with her parents, it's never just a "small chat".
"Listen, Yooyeon, we don't really care about what you think. You're getting married and this is final. No debates." Yooyeon's mother declared, pointing a finger at her daughter.
Yooyeon sat in silence as her brain processed her mother's words. You're joking.
