Unexpected Love

Unexpected Love: Chapter 1

"Father, why of all people, you chose her! She's dumb, ugly, everything bad! Besides, she hates me, so why choose her? I thought I had a part in this!", Minho said in an angry voice. Trying to stay composed is a lot harder than you think when you are going to be married to a person that you hate.

"She is a very nice girl. And she's intelligent and composed. I was hoping she could teach some manners to you." King Taejong snapped back.

"Sorry son. I agree with your father. Your attitude and behavior isn't very... appropriate for ruling over this country. And you're almost old enough to rule. Only a year left!", Queen Seondok sadly, but calmly replied.

Minho doesn't blame his mother. He knew the traditions and rules, only the father makes the major decisions. Unfortunately for him, this was one of them. And his mother couldn't talk him into another girl.

"But I don't wanna marry her! I hate her! I know you like her, but I'll do anything to not marry her!", Minho started to yell. His anger was slowly rising.

Lucky for him, his father's temper also started to rise. And it rose a lot higher than Minho's.

"Minho! Enough! Go to your room and do some self-reflection time. Who you marry is my choice. I gave you a part in it and you told me that you didn't want to marry anybody. And you can't take over like this, so I chose a suitable woman!" his father yelled at him. He was getting angrier and angrier by the moment.

"Well, you should've at least met up with me and confirmed it! She ruined my life!", Minho angrily screamed. He couldn't control his temper anymore. He started to cry with angry tears flowing down his face. He couldn't take it anymore. His dad has always controlled his life, even what friends he should make, and killing Seungmin was his fault too.

SMACK!

Minho and his mother couldn't believe it. In all of his years alive, his dad never slapped him before.

"Taejong! Don't do that ever again! You know, you're supposed to be a role model for him! You don't need to use verbal abuse to teach him! Your attitude is becoming worse than his!", Queen Seondok said worriedly.

"Minho, just go to your room, okay? I'll deal with him, and we'll think of something, don't worry.", she comforted her son.

Minho nodded, his face now red and still streaming with tears.

He started to go up the stairs, when his best friend, brother, and fake bodyguard Lee Felix, came up to him with a cheerful face with something in his tiny hands. When Felix saw his face, his smile dropped. He has only seen his best friend cry once, and that's when he lost his real brother, Seungmin.

"Let's go to your room, I made cookies.". That was all Felix said, and he helped him up the stairs into his room.

After climbing seven long flights of stairs, they finally got to Minho's room. They crashed onto Minho's bed with a plop. "Why is your castle this big? It's bigger than all of South Korea!" Felix complained. "Well, I can't help it. Dad thinks it's better for the looks of the country, showing that we're definitely not broke. Showoff." Minho said, then rolled his eyes. "Cookie, please." Minho demanded, and Felix gave him a cookie. Minho started ranting about how his father chose the worst girl to marry him for. While that, he was also munching on Felix's cookies. He only ate a bite or two during the meal, and the anger drained his energy.

"Don't worry. They'll think up of a plan. It can't be that bad right? Both of you hate each other, so it gives both of you a good reason to be separated.", Felix said.
