"What do you mean you're getting married to Baekhyun?" Taehyung asked, his voice hardening by the second.

"I'm getting married to Baekhyun." I repeated myself, wiping the continuous tears that flowed down my face.

"But how? Why?" He put down the ring, sitting on the chair with his hands on his face.

"It was planned before I was even born. My parents were close friends with all of the Exo boys. That's how we all knew each other since birth. My parents decide that in order to keep their company sales rising they would sign a deal with Baekhyun's parents for us to get married." I explained, fiddling with my fingers from nervousness.

The look he had on his face made me want to kill myself for how much I had hurt him. He didn't even spare me a glance, just stared at the ring for a long time while I could see tears flowing down his cheeks. In a second, I was on my knees, wiping off the tears.

"Baby please don't cry for me, I'm not worth your tears." I whispered, grabbing his hand in mine. But that just made him cry more.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" He mumbled, sniffling.

"Because I forgot that there was even a deal until I seen Baekhyun. Then my dad saw him and thought it would be a perfect time for us to get married. I'm so sorry, I'm such a horrible person." I laid my head on his lap, feeling his hand brushing my hair down while I cried.

"Don't say that. I still love you and I always will." He said, stopping his hand from continuing. I knew what was coming next and I deserved it.

"But that means I can't be with you if you're going to marry another man."

That's when I bursted out crying again, biting my lip to prevent myself from crying too loud. He let go of my hand, slowly pecking my forehead for a couple of seconds until standing up and walking away.

I stayed on the floor with my legs crossed and my head in my knees. I started feeling dizzy and sick to my stomach. I knew this was going to happen but I wanted to wait a week to tell him because I needed more time to be with him.

I possibly just lost the love of my life over a contract deal that I couldn't prevent from happening.

"I heard everything. Are you okay?" I heard a soft voice ask, sitting down next to me.

Sniffling and looking up, it was a girl my age with a tissue in her hand, "Who are you?" I asked, slowly taking the tissue.

"I'm Mijoo, nice to meet you." She smiled. She seemed very familiar to me. Who was she linked to?

"I'm a friend of Jimin's. He told me a lot about your group of friends." She said, passing me the box of tissues when seeing that I used the one she gave me.

"Oh yeah he said you were hot and had a date with him last Friday." I said, blowing my nose.

The hiccuping had stopped but the tears wouldn't stop flowing. I now had no control over them every time I thought back to what happened.

"He called me hot? Typical." She rolled her eyes, making me laugh.

"I mean you're really pretty." I said truthfully, wiping off the tears from my now ruined make up face.

"Thank you but this is not about me. Are you okay? She asked again.

I didn't know what I was feeling but it was everything but fine. Taehyung just walked off and left me and I knew I deserved it. I lied to him so this was my only karma. To lose him.
