"So how're you holding up?" Aunt Kim asked as we sat down on the dining table. "I mean, having your BFF getting forced to marry at a young age and not being able to do anything must be pretty harsh."

I found some truth in her words.

"Well, things happen and sometimes we can't do anything about it." I answered, not looking at her. She just shrugged.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I got up to answer it.

It was Jungkook.

"Hi Jihye." He said. I realized he was holding a package. "I felt that this delivery needed some explanation so I decided to give it to you myself."

He let himself in. He noticed Aunt Kim and bowed down. In return, she bowed her head.

"So what's the special delivery Jungkook needed to give me?" I said with a slight smile.

He grinned. "Open it." He instructed.

"I've been getting a lot of gifts from you lately, Kookie," I chuckled while opening the package.

It was a dress.

I picked it up and examined it.

It was beautiful.

"My mom decided to buy a dress for you since there's a kind of dress code for the wedding. She wanted to save you from the trouble of finding the right dress." He said while rubbing his arms, trying to find warmth.

Is my house that cold? I thought.

"There's one for you too, Aunt Kim!" He addressed to Aunt Kim, showing her a dress similar to mine.

"Send my thanks to your mom," I said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, Cheonsa has a favor. She wants you to be her maid-of-honour." Jungkook said.

My nose immediately scrunched up with confusion.

"Me...as her maid-of-honor? I don't even know her!" I answered.

"Come on, she's nice and not at all mean. And it's just for this one wedding. She has no other girl friends for this." He said with a tone of annoyance.

I rolled my eyes. "So did you marry her because she was nice? Or because she has no other friends? Or is it because she was rich?" I rudely said.

Jungkook stomped his foot. His face was red. I could tell he was pissed as hell.

"I THOUGHT YOU UNDERSTOOD MY CHOICE HERE, JIHYE. STOP MAKING THIS A BIG DEAL!" He yelled in my face.

That's when I lost it. I threw the dress onto the couch.

"THIS IS A BIG DEAL! YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND!" I screamed.

"Stop shouting in my house!" We heard Aunt Kim say sternly.

We both took a step back.

"Sorry, Aunt Kim." We apologized.

Another minute of silence.

"Thank you for having me over." Jungkook finally said and left the house.

I ran to my room and screamed into a pillow yet again.

Why did I say that?

Tears began flowing down. I have successfully made Jungkook angry.

Great job, Jihye.

I began to reflect on my actions and I realized I was being selfish.

That fish swimming in my heart: selfish!

I picked up my phone and went to my messages.

"I'll be her maid-of-honor." -Jihye

I got a reply right away.

"Thank you" -JK
