"I can't say I saw the man inside the beast, but he was there.... Looking at me with eyes full of despair."

He came home again today, drunk.

He smashed the door closed and groggily walked towards our living room. I tried to greet him with a smile, but I was met with a punch. I stayed there on the ground, looking down, while he was yelling, over and over again. I honestly can't hear a thing but a buzz near my ears.

My vision blurred when tears  started to form within my eyes. It's okay areum.. You love him right? Fight for him.. Maybe he loves you too... I thought and wiped the tears away from my face.

The house was quiet. I looked up to see yoongi sat across the tv with a beer on one hand and remote on the other. I stood up and quietly walked towards the bathroom to check my face for any bruises. I grabbed a washcloth and glided it through the cold running water then damped it onto my bruises.

I stopped and looked at myself, eye to eye. One day.. He'll learn to love you.. So just hold on, and never let go.

Today was the day. The day where my freedom will finally come to an end. The day  i never knew would come. My wedding day.

If I need to be honest, then no, I don't love the guy I'm marrying, heck I don't even know him! We never met until today, but my dad said he was a gentleman, a man that will cherish me as his. I never believed what he said but I really had no choice, it was all arranged and decided, no one can back out and no one will back out. 'It's for the greater good of everyone' says my dad, but I think not, it was only for the companies, and I was built to be a bridge to connect the two.

I stood behind the large wooden double door, waiting for it to open. I was tapping my heel on the floor rather fast, I just wanted this to be done with as fast as possible. And with a click, it was like my wishes were answered. The doors opened as the music started to play.

All eyes were on me, while mine was with his. He was good looking, with silver hair and skin pale and fair like snow white's. His eyes twinkled and widened as it settled on me, like someone shocked the life out of him. I tried my best to wear a fake smile as I walked down the isle.

When I reached the altar, he offered me his hand and I half-heartedly took it. I felt a spark as soon as our skin touches for the first time. I glanced at him to see if he felt something too, but I was only met with a smile that made my stomach go crazy.

What am I feeling? I just met the guy! I thought as we both held hands in front of the priest and everyone. Vows were exchanged, as well as 'I do's'.

"I now pronounce you as man and wife, you may now kiss the bride." The priest said and we gazed at each other's eyes. I don't know what it was but I saw something in his eyes... something, or someone.. Our faces inched closer to each other until we closed the gap.

There it was again, another spark and another crazy thing was happening in my stomach. I couldn't explain what I was feeling but I was happy. I smiled as we parted from our kiss and he smiled too. We faced the crowd and bowed.

Maybe it was for the greater good of everyone. I thought as I glanced down to our hands that were interlocked with each other.

The first months of our marriage seemed peaceful, he was nice to me and I was nice to him. We rarely cuddled, only on times when I was afraid on a rainy day when a thunder roars. His hugs and touch were soft and gentle, like he was afraid to break me—that is, until one day.
