THIS STORY WILL BE EDITED SO SORRY TO THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO THIS BOOK.
YOUR POV
As I awoke, hearing birds chirping, the morning rays glistening through the curtains. I get up and walk to the bathroom doing the usual "morning routine." I wash my face, brush my teeth, and put a clip in my hair, etc. After making the bed, I walk downstairs seeing my dad drinking his coffee and reading his early morning newspaper.
"Good morning Y/n, how was your sleep?" He asks looking at me with a small smile.
"It was good, btw what's for breakfast dad?" I ask as I sit down across from, grabbing a banana from the fruit bowl."There's waffles on the counter, go have some." He points as he returns his gaze back to his newspaper. I get up and walk over to the counter seeing a plate filled with waffles and some eggs on the side. I grab the plate and pour some syrup on top of the now cold waffles. I approach the fridge opening it to find one carton of orange juice and 2 beers and an egg. "Gosh, we should really go grocery shopping." I thought to myself. I poured myself some orange juice. I return the juice carton back in the fridge. As I sat back down, my dad, getting up from his seat, says. "Can we talk?" I took a bite of a waffle and raised my eyebrows.
"Talk about what dad?" He looks at me with complete seriousness in his eyes and goes. "About marriage. I arranged you with someone and it's with my colleagues son." He adjust his tie and clears his throat. " And I don't want you to go anywhere today, we're meeting them later today." I sat there speechless, stiff like a statue. "Dad, me get married?" I look at him in disbelief pointing at myself. "Dad you know I'm not ready for that right?" The tone in my voice changes as he then smiles. "Dear, I am never selfish to you, but this time, please bear with me and cooperate." He pleads. " I know that, but why? Why didn't you ask me first?" My eyes lock his gaze, me trying to figure out what got into his mind, wondering why he agreed without my consent.
"This is so selfish of you dad, it's like your giving me away for business." I say as I stood up and walk back upstairs, trying to not let the tears fall. I hear his voice fainting away as I rush through the hallway. I lock myself in my room sitting on the bed thinking of a way out of this situation. "Come on Y/n think think, how can we talk him out of this." I burry my face in my pillow and scream out of frustration. A knock on the door was heard. "Go away." I say shooing whoever is outside the door. "Let's talk, c'mon, I really need you to agree on this Y/n." Dad pleads, knocking on the door once more. "No, you didn't ask before getting my consent, that's very not like you dad." I scowl at him. I hear him sigh as he walks away his footsteps fainting away.
"Ugh, he's so selfish. I thought I would be happy today, guess not. Well byebye single life, guess you're getting married now." I jokingly say, getting up from the bed and sat by the window. Just in time, my mom's car pulls up in the driveway. "Finally!" I happily chime. "Mom's home from her business trip, I hope she bails me out of this marriage thing." I say with a huge smile on my face hurrying downstairs to greet the tired woman. " Hello, I'm back home! I got some things from Japan." She says, taking of her heels. "Mom! You cant believe the day I had! It just started but whatever." I roll my eyes, helping mom with her things. "Hahah, oh sweetie, I see you're extra dramatic today? Had some extra acting classes i say?" She laughs and walks over to the kitchen greeting dad. "Mom! That's not nice! And hey! I'm not dramatic. Dad arranged me into a marriage that I didn't even know about!" I point at dad.
"Don't point at me like your mom's not in this." Dad said. I look back at mom to see if dad was joking about it but she stared back at me looking so serious, almost as if she's staring into my soul devouring my existence. "Mom..don't tell me.." I squint my eyes, waiting for her reaction. "Dear...
look. Me and your dad have no other choice, but to go with this." She pleaded with her eyes. "Can you at least cooperate with us? Please? I know it's selfish of me to be the main cause of this but, you know we need it for my medication, right?" She sighed, looking down. I felt guilty, my heart hurt seeing my mom getting desperate just for her to get better, but out of all the solutions in this planet. Why does it have to be an arranged marriage with some guy I don't even know. "Mom. Yes, it's selfish, but you know I can't say no to you." I hugged her. Mom started crying, her tears falling down, that's when I knew I had to do this, even if I thought it was not a good idea, I knew this would be best for my mom, and I was doing it for her. I pulled away from the warmth of my mother's embrace and looked at her. "Okay, fine. I'll agree. But! Only because you're sick and not because you want me to have grandchildren! Okay!" I sarcastically say. My mom giggled. "Of course dear.. thank you, it means a lot to me and your dad, that you're able to do this for me. She smiled, her eyes glowing making my heart happy seeing my mom getting excited.
3 HOURS LATER..
You and your parents arrive at this fancy restaurant called
" The Red Diner " it was so luxurious, and you wonder what type of people you're meeting and the type of guy you're"marrying". Dad lead us to a private dining area where he knocked on the door. The door opened and dad gestured for us to go inside. Inside was a huge dining table and with many chandeliers, so luxurious. My jaw dropped seeing all the details this room had. We sat down and dad told us we should wait for the Jeon Family to arrive. After what felt like 24 hours has gone by, 3 people approached our table. "So sorry to keep you waiting, we had a little problem back at home." The man smiled. Mr Jeon..
"Don't worry yourselves, we're completely fine glad you could make it Mr Jeon." Dad smiled and shook hands with Mr Jeon. I avert my gaze to the young man who looks to be my age, rolling his eyes at me. Uhm? Excuse me? How rude!
Mr Jeon and his wife sat down to join us. "Son, have a seat. Don't be rude in front of my everyone." Mr Jeon says, gesturing for him to take a seat. The guy sighed, not making eye contact with anyone. " Okay, now that's settled. Why don't you introduce yourself to this pretty young lady here." Mr Jeon smiled looking at me. I smiled back, leaning my hands to offer a handshake to his son. "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Y/N." I say, trying not to break character. He hesitatingly offers his hand and awkwardly shakes it. Wow. "I'm Jungkook, pleasure to meet you." He replies, still not making eye contact. Seems like I'm not the only who's forced into this..
"Well, how about we order some food!" My dad says breaking the ice. " Shall we?" He hands me the menu, and Mr Jeon signals for the waiter. I whisper to my mom. " Mom, can you order for me? I'll get what you'll get." I say, grabbing my bag. " Why? Where are you going dear?" She whispers back. "Just to the bathroom, please? Love you." You say excusing yourself. You quickly run to the bathroom.
You sigh. "I want out of here.." you look at the mirror. "It's so awkward and it seems like that Jungkook guy doesn't even want to be there." I talk to myself. " I mean, I dont blame him, who would want to be married to someone they don't even know." calming down, you sigh. After washing your hands and being in the bathroom for at least 10 minutes, you rush back to the table. " Where have you been?" Your mother pulling you down to sit. " The bathroom." You smile. "Well, you're finally back! Let's talk about the marriage." Mr Jeon grins. Byebye single life.
"Y/N, are you willing to do this? We won't force you if you don't want to." He says, Jungkook rolls his eyes for like 100 times, he everts his eyes from you to his phone. "I-i, well it's the best option, for my mother." You reply. "For my mom, I'll do it." you smile, holding your mom's hand. Mrs Jeon smiled and nudges Jungkook on the arm. " What about you Jungkook? will you do this for our company?" His mom says. " Ill only do it for the company, nothing else." He remarks. " We'll that was easy, I guess we have a deal? Mr Lim?" He grins at my dad, my dad smiled back. " We do, glad to make amends with you Mr Jeon." They shake hands. Everyone enjoys their dinner in peace while your dad and Mr Jeon talk about business.
