She had just finished washing herself. She was drying her hair with a piece of towel when she felt the emptiness inside the house. She was about to exit the room to check on everyone but decided to unlock her cellphone first. There were several messages. One was from her best friend.

Soojung
Sorry for leaving without informing you first.
Me and my family will not be home tonight.
Visiting some relatives at the countryside.
Hope you will be okay staying alone.
Don't forget to eat dinner.
Remember to lock all the doors.
Don't miss me.
Hahaha...

Jiwon
It's okay Soojungie~
I won't starve myself.
I won't let anyone kidnap me too.
Too precious for that.
Hehehe.
Already miss you.
Crying at the corner.
Have fun.

'I guess, I can use all the time alone to list down the things for the agreement.'

So, she spent almost three hours to write down the list. She never thought that it was so hard to prepare one as it required a very careful and detailed information. She needed to be precise and particular in whatever she had in mind so that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. She must protect herself from whatever that could destroy her dear future.

Afterwards, she was laying on the bed staring at her ceiling. She was thinking of Jungkook. What made her simply agreed to his gobbledygook. Every meetings and messages between them that would involve a quarrel. Countless times she said that she hated him and really meant it. Could the marriage even work out on them? How long could the marriage stay on? What would the people around them say about it?

Sometimes she felt that it didn't makes sense. But every relationship will come to an end. Either it's a happy or a sad ending. All depends on how they handled their problems along the journey. Thinking of him again, he seemed to never mention on an agreement or rules that required her to follow. Usually such things existed in this kind of marriage, right? Two people forming a contract within a certain amount of period which will lead to a divorce since it is build without love. Why wouldn't he think of it as he was so clueless when she mentioned about it that day? Did he really have no intention on ending it? What was his motive to begin with? She shook her head of by all the thoughts.

Since she had finished with the agreement, she wanted to set another meeting with Jungkook to confirm on it. So, she decided to text him first.

Jiwon
Are you still awake?
Am I disturbing you?

Jungkook
I'm wide awake now...
U can disturb me all u want...
What's up???

Jiwon
I made my list.
Have you done yours?
Let's set another date.
When are you free?

Jungkook
Do I really need to make a list???
It's a burden for me...
Anytime for u little girl...
I'm free everyday till next month...

Jiwon
It's for your own good, weirdo!
How about tomorrow?

Jungkook
Having u is good enough...
Just get us married already...
Tomorrow sounds great!!!

Jiwon
You never fail to piss me!
Congratulations!
See you tomorrow then.

Jungkook
It's an honor for me...
Hahaha...
Can't wait for tomorrow...

After texting Jungkook, she decided to go straight to bed since there's nothing much for her to do. She was about to dose off when it was disturbed by the vibration of her device. A message received. She was contemplating whether to open it or not. But being the curious person she is, she checked on it. It was Jungkook again. 'What is it this time?'

Jungkook
Little girl...
Let's cancel tomorrow...
I don't want to see u...

Jiwon

Jungkook

Jiwon

Jiwon
