Soomi's POV

I was lying down on my bed thinking about Myungsoo.
When Wonwoo ssi popped up into My head.
Did he leave beacause he was mad?
Wait....
If I go with Wonwoo, who seems to care...
I can get away from all of the abuse!
My mom, Carlise, my step dad!
I can get away from all of it!
At that moment my mom burst through the door.
I quickly got up and told her
"Ill do it! Ill marry Wonwoo"
She gasped and flung her hand at my cheek.
"No! You will not! Your sister Carlise will!" She flared as she pulled my Hair making my head jerk towards her.
"Listen carefully.... you will stay up here, until they agree with Carlise..." she sneered into my ear.
That's it....
If I miss this chance ill have to spend most of my life here...
With the devil and her assistants.
and that was worse than anything.
I guess she saw my fluttering both ways.
"You will... or you'll lock yourself up here and cry..." she glared at me and scanned the room.
I was confused...
There was nothing she could do to lock myself up here.
"Aha! Say goodbye" she said happily
I looked in her hand.
My dad's picture...
That's the last one!
I need that!
"Not that.... please not that." I pleaded.
"I knew it... if you lock yourself in your room then I'll give it to you later." She said waving the photo in the air.
"I will! Please not that." tears pricked my eyes.
That picture was the last happiness from my child hood.
Even if the person who made my life bright was gone, the memory remains, and to remind me of this memory, and to ensure me that it wasn't a dream, the photo.
She suddenly grabbed my lit candle off my desk.
"Hmm.... well I don't trust you at all so..."she said smirking evily.
"No... please." I said to her helplessly.
She waved the photo over top of it.
I watched the photo flicker back and forth over the flame.
She dipped the photo in the flame and stuck it in the wax.
"No!" I yelled scrambling to the photo to snatch it before it burned out.
"Oops..." she said as she flung me back.
I watched the memory burn, the end of the photo turning into ashes.
"Why?" I asked realizing what this woman just did.
I looked behind me from where she was standing, she was gone.
I sat down infront of the flame, watching my childhood burn away.
Watching my happiness burn, and turn into a dark mess.
Just like my life.
It was happy for the slightest moments, but soon turned into burnt ashes.
I cried over the flame.
I haven't crying for quite a while, when I was with Myungsoo.
Maybe that's why it hurts to cry.
"Soomi?"
I heard knocks.
My voice was gone.
I couldn't find it...
I couldn't use it...
I couldn't,
I wanted to stop him.
But I couldn't.
God there are so many things i can't do.
One of them was finding happiness and making it last.
He bursted in and saw what I was doing.
His eyes wide.
I snapped back to reality.
The photo.
I tried to reach in for the photo but he stopped me.
why does he always stop me?
Why can't he like Carlise instead and make my life so much easier.
Why did he have to give me hope, but make my mom crush it in the end.
"Why do you need these ashes so much?" He asked, picking them out with my ruler.
"They were my last photo with my dad." I muttered.
He didn't say anything after that.
Which I appreciated.
We sat in silence, he was looking down at the floor, while I was looking at the ashes.
It was sad to say that the little photo was my whole childhood.
But it was.
"That's it." Wonwoo muttered.
I would've asked him what was wrong until he smashed his lips onto mine.
His lips were intriguing.
They made me forget pain.
They made me happy.
They made me go off into this dazed state of mind, where everything was right.
He kissed me forcefully, and after a few moments of pondering.
I kissed him back.
Why was I kissing this strange man?
Why was I in the arms of a man I barely know....
I pulled away
We stared at each other for a few seconds, before we both scrambled away.
"Why'd you kiss me?!" I asked touching my lips.
"I owe you from before." he smirked.
I turned away, embarrassed.
I turned back around when I heard a slap.
He was pointing to himself and talking to himself.
"Stupid, stupid, playboy side!"
I chuckled.
He's kind of cute...
That's it.
Cute
Myungsoo....
I should call him.
I took out my phone and dialed his number.
It rang and rang.
"Who are you calling?" Wonwoo asked from behind me.
"No one." I said annoyed that Myungsoo wasn't picking up...
What if they really killed him?!
What if he's too injured to get up?
"You don't have to be so rude..." Wonwoo said from beside me.
"Shut up!" I growled.
No...
I'm becoming like my mom...
"Hello? Soomi?" Myungsoo said through the phone line.
"Yeah I'm here!" I said rapidly.
"I'm here too!" Wonwoo said from behind me.
I slapped his hand away, when he reached for my phone.
"Oh.... so you have Wonwoo with you..." Myungsoo growled into the phone.
"Yeah... so are you okay? Any serious injuries?" I asked worriedly as Wonwoo mocked me.
"Yeah.... nothing too bad. But It was worth it." He said I can sense him smiling, as I was.
"Thank you for caring." I said to him.
Thinking about a life without my new found love, was unbearable.
But living without knowing he was okay, was death.
And knowing my love was dead there was no reason to live.
So I'm glad he wasn't killed.
"Your welcome... I love you" Myungsoo Said.
I hesitated for a moment.
I heard a slam behind me, as I looked to see where it came from.
It was Wonwoo slamming the door.
What's up with him?
"I love you too.... but I'm sorry." I said trying to keep my voice calm.
"What?" He asked, panic showing in his voice.
"I... I... have to marry Wonwoo..." I started stuttering as I realised....
I was hurting him.
"No you... don't! you can come and live with me! We can be happy!" He rejoiced.
"But... I can't... I don't want any harm to come to you..." I stopped
"Not more than it already has."
"But it's got to be okay! As long as you're with me." he said, with a hint of sadness.
"No... Myungsoo... you don't understand.. I'm only hurting you." I told him.
"Soomi! don't worry! Your mom. she'll leave us alone I-"
I didnt let him finish.
"No! Myungsoo! Wake up! Life is telling us that we can't be together! Your bruises are telling you, I only mean harm! I'll only hurt you! Can't YOU see that?" I yelled. Trying hard not to let him hear how broken I was.
Life isn't fair.
"Soomi... but my heart, is telling me that you're worth it." it broke my heart, because it was telling me the same thing.
But I needed to keep firm.
I don't want him hurt.
I want him to be happy, even if it means never seeing him, or hearing his soothing voice, or kissing his mesmerizing lips.
"My heart isn't." I said bluntly.
"No... Soomi! You're only saying that!" He yelled into the phone.
"I mean it." I hung up after that.
It's a good thing I did, because as soon as I ended what seemed like a small conversation, I broke.
I broke under the weight, of my heart breaking, the weight of my mind being torn in two directions.
I wiped my tears forcing a smile, thinking about how happy Myungsoo will be without me.
I guess its because I've never met anyone like him.
Or maybe its because its my first love.
But whatever it was, it made it seem special.
"I'm sorry." I muttered as I got up and went to the bathroom, to wash my face.
I went down the stairs and saw my mom talking with Wonwoo's.
"Oh Soomi! Great timing! Carlise and Wonwoo ate in the kitchen getting a drink! Go join them." my mom chirpped.
I smiled and nodded.
I needed to distract myself from my broken self.
I grabbed a cup from the cupstand, on the dining table and went in the kitchen for some water.
I went in and it was quite dim.
My eyes adjusted to the dark, and I found the light switch.
Where is Wonwoo and Carlise?
I thought as the light lit up the kitchen.
I dropped my cup.
*crash*
In the middle of the kitchen was Wonwoo and Carlise....
Making out.
"Soomi... I..." Wonwoo started.
I saw Carlise smirking at my bewildered face.
Why did I care?
Its not like we were dating...
But it still kind of hurt. Not as much as myungsoo but a pang.
"I dont care... move." I shoved Carlise away to get to the broom that was leaning agaisnt the fridge.
"Excuse me!" Carlise yelled and slapped me across the cheek.
Wonwoo gasped and pulled me away from Carlise.
A gasp was heard from the Kitchen door....
