The Guy Next Door //Hwang Minhyun//

Chapter 3

When it was time to go,I drove back home.I don't think I even worked after what happened to me this morning.My mind was crowded with thoughts but I was just...blank.

I think the weather was with me today since it was raining.Honestly,I don't know how to react or feel towards what happened but I'm nervous asf.Of course I am,no such thing has ever occured to me.Heck,I've never even been in a relationship before! And now what,marriage?

I stepped on the gas pedal more than I should since I was getting mad then my car suddenly hit a puddle and swerved to the left.But my actions were quick so I got back on track.

With wide eyes I blinked on the road ahead.Oh my gosh,I almost had an accident.Thankfully I didn't but speeding in the rain while you're angry is definitely a bad idea.

"Deep breaths,Jiyoon.Deep breaths." I sighed and wiped my sweaty palms on my skirt.Wouldnt want it to happen again so I cleared my mind for a while.Just until I get home safely.

"I'm home!" I yelled as I closed the door behind me.

"Welcome back,Jiyoon! I'm making dinner right now,I'll call you when I'm done." Jieun,my housemate a.k.a my bestie said from the kitchen.Usually we'd cook together but I'm not in the mood today.

"Okay thanks,I'll be up in my room if you need me." I anwered and dragged my feet upstairs.

Throwing my handbag on my desk,I jumped onto the bed on my tummy while suffocating myself with a pillow.I stopped when my lungs begged for fresh air.

Turning onto my back,I stared at the ceiling.

So...I have to marry Hwang Minhyun.

Mr Hwang's son.Only son.I never thought they were related that way.Well,it's obvious that their surnames are the same,even I've thought of that before but they look nothing alike.No one could've guessed they're a family.

So should I be happy about this or not?Isn't this what girls always wish for?To be married to the man of their dreams? He is who I like afterall.Well,maybe more than just like.But still.This is reality we're talking about.Dreams are different from reality,honey.

"Jiyoon,dinner's ready! Get your lazy bum down here!" Jieun's voice rang throughout the house.Right at that time,my stomach grumbled.Looks like someone's hungry after a tiring day.But I don't think I have the appetite to eat.

I swung my legs off the bed and again,dragged myself downstairs to the kitchen.We just eat in the kitchen since there's only two of us in this house.

"Mmm..smells great.I'm sorry I didn't help you cook this." I said as I sat on a chair and took a plate,filling it with the food.

"Nah,it's fine.You still cook more than me." Jieun shrugged and filled her plate too.

While she was devouring all the food in seconds,I just slowly took one bite at a time.It was delicious but I really had no appetite.

"Something wrong,Jiyoon?"Jieun asked and poked me with her chopstick.

"Huh?Oh..nothing.Just work,that's all." I mumbled and took another bite of my meal.Why did I take too much of it?

Jieun squinted her eyes,probably trying to read me.

"Really?Well if you ever need me,I'm always open.Okay girl?"She said and waited for my response.Aww,she's the best.

"Okay,mom." I exclaimed and hugged her tightly,turning my head to kiss her cheek.Or in other words, smudging her cheek with my un-clean lips.

"Eeeew what the heck Jiyoon!You're so gross."Jieun pushed me away and made a disgusted face.I just stuck my tongue out at her.

"There's my friend."Jieun pinched my cheeks and smiled.

We ate in a comfortable silence throughout dinner and finished our plates.I offered to do the dishes but Jieun insisted on doing it instead and made me go rest.

"Are you seriously not telling me what's going on? I'm worried."

"It's nothing,really.Maybe I'm just having mood swings right now.Don't worry.I'll sleep first,okay?"

"Okay then.Goodnight,Jiyoon."

"Night night,Jieun."
