It's been 21 years since I've been born but I haven't done anything in life.

I haven't enjoyed anything yet.

All I do every day is make accessories like phone cases and write songs. I don't even have people to talk to so I'm shy and very quiet.

I don't talk with anyone, not even my father.

Being alone can be good and bad, but in my case, it's bad because now I like being alone too much. No matter how close my father or anyone wants to get to me, I can't get myself to love them because I'm dead inside.

I stared at the couple on the screen before, imagining how my life would be if I had a person who truly loved me. Will I change if I fall in love? Actually, will I ever fall in love?

Reality hit me and I shook my head to ignore the random thoughts. I changed the channel to a cooking show and spread my legs on the floor whilst leaning against the couch as I watched the television.

When I felt a tap on my shoulder, I looked beside to see my dad smiling at me softly.

"Sumi, sit here. Let's talk" my father said as he sat on the couch.

I sat opposite to him and stared at him, waiting for him to talk.

He drank the water placed before him by the maid and sighed heavily while looking at me.

"I think you should marry soon Sumi" he smiled.

My legs shivered at his words and my mind went blank.

"Wha-what?"
