You Thought Wrong

Ch. 1 Bellarose

The summer sun was beating down on me as I jogged. Tired and out of breath I took a seat on a nearby bench enjoying the scenery of green trees and soft grass.

When I finally caught my breath I decided to take a stroll around town because I've never actually explored this place. My family and I just recently moved back. I don't really remember much about this place except this park because we moved when I was quite young. Now I'm 16 turning 17 within this month. My eomma and appa are Korean so the reason we moved back is because they want me to marry someone handsome and nice.

I remember when they first inflicted this idea on me. Being the troublesome rebel that I am they probably figured they were going to have to argue with me about this particular topic.

In fact I had thought about making a fuss but the amount of stress I've put them through up until now was already enough. They're getting old and I can see it with every passing day and I've just recently found out that my mom has a heart problem that could cause her to drop at any given moment. So instead of arguing I simply accepted this suggestion. They were surprised and happy when I said I would be willing to let them arrange a marriage for me with out putting up a fight.

That was the first time I've ever seen my mom's eyes glimmer with absolute happiness. My dad looked at me with an emotion I've never seen before; proudness. They both enveloped me in a hug and it felt nice. For the first time in years I actually felt love radiating throughout me.

Yes my parents always told me they loved me except in that moment I realised just how much they loved me and it made me sad to think that all those years I spent defying them and being so troublesome that through it all they still loved me dearly.

Now that I got a taste of this feeling I don't want to let it go. I wanted to keep making them proud and make up for all the hurt I've cause.

I was brought up out of my day dream when I heard my phone ding indicated that I had received a message. Looking down I seen that it was a message from my eomma.

'Hey sweety, are you on your way home?'

'Yes, I'll be home shortly :)'

'Okay, when you get home take a shower and wear the dress I've laid out for you.'

'Okay eomma love you and see you soon.'

'Love you too and see you soon.'

When I walked through the front door I was met with my cat who seems to think she's a dog.

She leaped into my arms and started meowing and rubbing her head on my neck and face.

"Hi gumball, I missed you to (incoherent language) did you miss mommy as well? Oh yes you did, yes you did!~~", I said while making my way up stairs to my room.

My eyes landed on the cream colored dress layed across my bed. It was absolutely beautiful. I set gumball on my bed and picked up the fabric, it was silky soft. I walked over to my mirror and held the dress up my body to see how I would look. It stopped mid thigh and was a little revealing in the chest area, although not to much to be considered sluty.

As I was gazing at myself my eomma walked in.

"Its beautiful, isn't it?", she asked from my door way.

"Yes, it's absolutely breathtaking, where did you manage to find a dress like this?", I asked turning towards her.

"I had it made especially for you."

I was stunned ,"Really!"

"Yes, now hurry up and get ready", she said before walking out shutting my door behind her.
