Kiss Me Under the Stars

Chapter 53

~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~

Hyomin: Ilhoon was obviously about two years older than me. My parents had become good friends with his parents when they had come to visit me here in Korea. I was living interchangeably with Soohyun-Oppa and Jihyuk-Oppa at the time. Everything seemed perfect because my parents were with me after a long time...

"Hyomin, hurry up! I have to take you to the park remember? You said you wanted to meet with Jiyeon, Woohyun, Kibum, and Dongjin!" Soohyun called, shaking me out of my sleep. I sat up with a yawn and rubbed my eyes sleepily. "Aish, come on you lazy girl!"

"I'm up, I'm up," I grumbled, my face forming a frown. "I'll be ready soon, I promise." He nodded and patted the sleeping Ulzzang Prince.

"Kiseop-ah, get up~ We have schedule!" Kiseop groaned at Soohyun's words and rolled over in the bed. "Lee Ki Seop!"

"I'm up Hyung!" he exclaimed quickly, jumping to his feet.

"Kibum-Oppa~~~!" I yelled, bursting into the 'O' room and tripping over Eli who was asleep on the floor. "Aigoo~ Jinjja! >.< Jwo apayo~~!" I whined pathetically, rubbing my arm.

"OH MY GOD HYOMIN GOT HURT!!!!!" Kevin screamed, fawning over me as I stared at him with wide eyes. "Are you okay?! Don't go into the light!!"

"Oppa, I'm fine~~" I told him dismissively. "Xander-Oppa~ Get up! Yah! O Brothers! Get up now!" I yelled at the sleeping boys. They all began cursing and slowly sat up. "Okay great! You guys have schedule, okay?"

"Yes Mother -.-" Eli mumbled with a yawn. "You'll be performing today, correct?"

"No she won't," my mother quickly interjected, causing all of us to whirl around in surprise.

"Eomma, what are you talking about? I am performing today!" I insisted, afraid that her age had finally caught up with her.

"No, you're coming along with me. We're going to meet a certain someone." I raised an eyebrow and then shrugged before texting Woohyun the update.

"This better be important..." I grumbled before going to shower and changing quickly. Cooking up some breakfast for the boys, I swallowed some down and then sighed before shoving on my sneakers and drifting after my mother.

We were bustled through the busy streets of Seoul and arrived at a fancy restaurant. "Now be polite and don't overreact." I nodded stiffly at my mother's request as she walked in an waved at a woman who smiled excitedly and waved back.

"Ah, I see you brought your daughter!" the woman exclaimed with a smile. "My son is in the bathroom. He'll be back shortly."

"Son...?" I murmured with a frown. My mother shot me a warning glance and I sat down quietly and twiddled my thumbs nervously.

"Ah, here he is! Ilhoon-ah, say hello~" I looked up curiously and stared at the handsome boy in front of me. He looked around my age and I swallowed hard as he locked eyes with me and smiled.

"Hello, my name is Jung Il Hoon. I am 16 years old. It's nice to meet you," he said with a small bow.

I jumped quickly to my feet and murmured, "I'm Woo Hyo Min and I'm 14 years old. It's nice to meet you as well." I bowed awkwardly to him and he chuckled lightly before we sat down.

"So, the reason that we wanted you both to meet today is for a very special reason!" Ilhoon's mother told us with a smile.

My mother nodded in agreement and then reassured us quickly, "Now, keep in mind that this won't take effect until Ilhoon turns at least 20."

"20?" he asked her curiously, cocking his head to one side. "What kind of news is this?"

"We've decided to revert to traditional arrangements and have you both have an arranged marriage!" his mother told us nonchalantly.
