Its My Turn to Cry

Chapter 2: I Hate You!

JENNY:

It’s been a week since the awful incident happened in meeting the Oh family.

I locked myself in my room for almost a week, not letting anyone to talk about it even my mom. I’m still hurt every time I recall how he rejected me in front of many people.

Winter is here, the cold wind wraps the atmosphere outside. Here I am, lying in my bed with my head buried under my pillow. It’s 7:30 in the morning but I’m too lazy to get up.

“Honey, your aunt Suzy is here. She wants to talk to you… Honey, open up now, please?” my mom pleaded, as she knock outside my room. I sneaked my head out of the pillow and escape a heavy sigh. I’m still not ready for this, but do I have a choice?

“Tell her I’ll be out in a minute mom.” I shout back. I heard my mom sighed heavily as she let go of the door knob then walk off.

I kick my blanket and get up. I slip on my comfy shoes and robe then headed to the bathroom to do my daily routine-shower, toothbrush and my morning rituals.

“Oh~ my dear little Jenny. How are you?” aunt Suzy ask as she hug me.

“I’m so sorry for what happened a week ago. Sehun was just shocked that time. He didn’t mean to hurt you.” Aunt Suzy apologize as we parted. I force a smile and nodded. She then patted my cheek and pull me into a hug once again.

It's feels odd meeting one of Sehun’s family again especially his mother. It's not as easy as I thought. I want to disappear in this kind of situation, really.

“Jenny-ah~ I’m afraid to tell you this but you have to make it.” she added and I sighed after hearing it.

I knew it! They would force me into this. What should I expect?

“I talked with Sehun last night and he seems to agree with it. I hope you’ll deal with it too my dear.” she said giving a light squeeze on my hand.

I'm hopeless, and so I replied then forced a smile. “I’ll think of it aunt Suzy.” and she smiled and hug me once again.

Hearing that he seemed to agree with the plan, I feel a bit relieved. But some questions were still bothering me like, what if he’s been forced by his mom? What if he’s expecting some reward after it? What if he’ll disappear after the marriage or worst, won’t show up on the day of the ceremony?

“Ugh! This is killing me!” I slap my forehead and buried my face on my pillow. As usual, I locked myself in my own room again.

I glance at my table clock, 11:45 PM. It’s late already but I can’t sleep. I’m in deep thought whether to deal with the oldies love game or what.

I rolled myself on my bed back and forth to ease my boredom. Suddenly my phone rang that made me stumble, head first, on the floor.

“Aw!" I wince as I rub my temple then reach for my phone on top of my bed.

"What bastard would bother to call me in the middle of the night?” I mutter as I stare at my phone screen indicating unregistered number.

Curious about the vampire caller, I clear my throat then gently swipe the screen and hesitantly take the call.

“Yeo-Yeoboseyo?”

A long silence wrapped between the line. I feel annoyed. What a jerk! Playing around in the middle of the night! Ugh!

I was about to end the call when the caller starts to speak.

“U-Uhmm..N-Nae..I-It’s..S-Sehun” he stuttered.
