The Cruel Marriage ( completed)

Chapter 20

Jungkook pov

"Shi, I-I" I was cut off when all of a sudden the lights went off. 'the lights could not wait longer to go' I thought as I could not see anything except darkness. "Shi, stay here, I'm gonna bring some candles," I told her as she mumbled a small okay. I got up and went to the living room drawer with the help of the wall. After taking out some candles and the lighter, I light them up and arranged them carefully on the top of some tables furniture.' Great the living room looks beautiful in the dim light' I thought before going back to the dining room where Shi was looking everywhere rubbing her hands together. "Is she feeling cold" I mumbled softly as I went to her.

"Here, we can have dinner now." I placed the candle  in the middle of the table before taking my place.'wow' I stared at her as her face glow between the golden flames.

" Are you cold?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

"N-No not r-real-ly." she answered while playing with the chopsticks.

She started shuttering again! A while ago she talked without shuttering then what happened now. Perhaps she's afraid of---

Shi pov 

All at once the thunderstorm and lightning started roaring in the clouds. I could almost feel my heartbeats skip. I slowly glanced at Jungkook wanting him to notice my state as my body felt paralyzed but his eyes were fixed on his food. My voice was gone and my body feels helpless as I could not move. I closed my eyes as the haunted memories came.

flashback

Somewhere in the forest.

"Baba! The 8 years old little girl cried desperately wandering alone in the stormy night. Her frog was drenched with blood as she roamed bare feet looking for someone but that someone never came that night. She was lonely alone trembling in the cold with an empty stomach hiding behind a big tree.

" Shi! Shi! Can you hear me?" "huh," I opened my eyes as sweats rolled down my forehead. I looked at Jungkook who was looking at me asking me if I was fine but my voice seems to stuck in my throat. I just sat still looking at him.

"It's okay, I am here." he smoothly said as he hugged me caressing my hair. I felt like I needed that hug badly as I snaked my hands around his waist tightly. I was in a sitting position as he stood in front of me.' who is that girl who keeps coming in my dream' I thought as I felt very scared it was a very scary sight.

"Do you want me to take you up?" he gently asked as he wiped mt tears. Even though I hated him, I feel safe in his arms. This moment his presence, his touch calms me.

I nodded as he carried me upstairs in his bedroom and lay me on the bed. He pulled the comforter and cover me. He then lighted up some candles which were giving a warm fragrance. Jungkook was about to leave when unknowingly my voice let out.

"stay!"
