Book 1: Mingkit Only You (Completed)

Ming's Sister and Ex 2

Ming's Narrating **Flashback** 

After my major break up with Moowan, I started seeing other girls in a week already. I am not really serious about them. I was just playing around to keep my mind off with the bad break up. This is not what I imagined. I was really serious about her and considering her to be someone I can be with for the rest of my life. When I received a call from Wayo on that day, I can hear and feel him furious on the other line and he wanted to tell me something very urgently. 

I tried to contact Moowan so she knows that I am meeting up with Wayo before we go to our favorite restaurant but her number was unreachable. I thought that maybe her phone died. I was planning to propose to her that night because I see myself building a future with her. So I met Wayo in our usual hang out which is the nearby cafe at our school.

Ming: Hey Wayo, why did you call me and you sounded so mad on the other line? Can we make this quick, I still need to finalize my plan for my propo....... Wait. Why are you crying?

Wayo: Moowan.

Ming: Moowan? What? What happened to her? Did you see her today? I tried calling her but I cannot reach her phone. **I started to panic when Wayo mentioned her name without telling me any details.**

Wayo: I think you better sit here before I let you hear this. 

Wayo played the recording: 

Auntie: No need to thank me. See this as an opportunity to marry my son. I think, out of all the girl he dated, you are the most suited to marry my son with your family background, your face and you being too ambitious.

Moowan: You don't have to worry my soon to be mother-in-law. I will tell my parents about this and he will close the deal with soon to be father-in-law. The deal will be sealed once we get married after our graduation.

I still cannot believe what I am hearing right now. Is that my mom? Is that really Moowan talking to her? What do they mean about business opportunity? Oh God! Moowan's parents own a real estate company which makes perfect sense. My parents see this as a great opportunity to grow their businesses. I am still hesitant of thinking the possible betrayal. 

Ming: Wayo, this is not funny. You know I love her, right? I was preparing my proposal to her tonight. What are you doing this to me? Stop joking around. This isn't funny.

Wayo: Do you think I like joking around? Check this picture.

I saw Moowan with my mother sitting together as if they are close with one another and strategizing. I started feeling tears falling from my eyes. I feel the sharp pain in my heart as if someone is stabbing me multiple times. I want it to stop but I keep on thinking of all the things we've been through. But why Moowan? Why did you lie to me? Why did you betray me? Is this really you? When you helped me picked up my favorite music, you gave me the entire album of that band. When you gave me something on my birthday, you gave me the entire book set of my favorite author. And when you attended my taekwando tournaments. you brought me lemons soaked in honey. Were all those part of your plans with my mother? Every thing we did together was based on business strategies?

I leaned my body forward as I touch my aching heart. I cannot believe that my own parents used the girl I love to close a deal and the fact that the girl I love let them use her and tricked me in falling in love with her. I do not know this girl, the one I am hearing in the recording, the girl I am seeing in the picture. Is this the girl that I am about to propose to? Do I really know anything about her. I cried the entire afternoon so there won't be any tears shedding out from me when I faced her and bre---break up with her. I need to end this.
