     this whole marriage thing, it's ridiculous. two months ago, when my mom told me that i'm marrying her friend's son, i thought she was joking. but wow apparently the joke is on me. today, i am marrying her friend's son, kim jongin.

by hearing his name, you get the idea he might be hot. and no kidding, he's really hot but only one thing, he's the opposite of friendly, opposite from whatever that what my parents told me about him. from this two months that i'm seeing him ; i never seen an honest smile on his face, literally.

flashback to the first time we met ; it was an ironically hot day in october evening. the first 'date' in a coffee shop. i still remember how nervous i was.

"you're joan, right?" a tall guy greets me, saying my name kinda weirdly with his korean accent. as a filipino—korean person, i'm so used to this. i fix the glasses that hanging on the bridge of my nose, and i nods while looking at him. "yes, i am." i even offered a handshake but he coldly ignored it.

i never feel this betrayed. i swear.

awkwardly, i pull back my (loser) hand and sit down. he ordered drinks for him and while waiting, he just went straight to the point. "why didn't you reject this marriage? do you really want to marry me?"

"excuse me?"

"you can hear my question clearly, miss. why did you agree?" he raised his brow. i mean, what?

"do i look like i have a choice? and you, why did you agree?" i asked him back. little did he know, i was torn between to make my own life choice and to make my parents proud of me? if i'm going to run away from this marriage, where would i go? i barely make money for myself.

he didn't answer that question, which make me confused even more. this man is going to be my husband? the man of my life? okay visually he's great, but his personality—ugh. i am so ready for a divorcement.

after finishing our drinks, we just head back home. and that's lead us to another dates, unwillingly. we only agree to meet each other because of our parents. such a bunch of good kids.

that's just the summary how i'm marrying him. today, here i am with a wedding dress that we choose few weeks ago. instead of glasses, i'm wearing lenses, and my hair is fully styled, braided. my face is fully baked. you can't imagine my butt almost frozen there, waiting for my make up to be done.

after i got everything ready, my dad walk me to the aisle, with jongin waiting on the other side.

he look so good, i must admit that.

"please, take care of my daughter." i heard my dad told him. oh dad i'm so sorry that this marriage is not going to be the one that you once dreamt. sooner or later, we will part in our own ways.

"i will, dad." i totally didn't expect jongin will say that.

for a second, my woman's heart is shaking, hearing that very words come out of his mouth as he pull my hand to him. stop it, joan. you're going to regret this later. he just said that as a part of the act that you guys promised to do. we stood there, as we're delivering the oath together. the promise.

"you may kiss the bride now,"

oh god. my heart is again shaking, trembling  when he naturally pull my waist closer to him, as he hold my chin, and press our lips together. just for a quick second, but i bet he got the idea that i am a bad kisser.

   as planned, we the newlyweds will go for a vacation right when the ceremony ends. while some of his people (i guess) loading our things to the trunk, i look at him. m y h u s b a n d ¿
