"Do you, amethyst, take kim taehyung as your lawfully and wedded husband?"
As if I had the choice to say "no".
"I.. do."
I mentally slapped my mouth. My god forbidden mouth. Taking a deep breath, I looked around. Everyone just seemed so happy for the both of us pero bakit ako, hindi masaya? Knowing na ang mapapangasawa ko ay isang sikat na member ng isang sikat na kpop boy band?
Ako ata yung may topak eh.
Supposed to be, ako dapat yung nagtatatalon sa sobrang saya eh. Sino ba namang hindi eh gwapo na nga ang mapapang-asawa ko, talented, at sikat pa. Ibinigay na sa akin yung ideal guy ng halos lahat na babae. Pero bakit hindi parin? Is it because I was— scratch that, we were forced by our own parents? our own freaking parents?!
That's probably the reason why I can't force myself to smile at a time like this. It's because I didn't even want to be here in the first place. If only my parents aren't having any troubles in their business, I wouldn't be here.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Fuck. No.
I don't usually curse, but hell can you blame me? I just got married to a person I haven't even got the chance to get acquainted with! What more kung maninirahan na kami sa iisang bubong simula ngayon?!
This guy, Taehyung, looked at my lips and unconsciously licked his.
Godammit!
As he slowly leaned in towards my face, I couldn't help but to slightly push his body off. In a subtle way of course. "Don't." I warned him.
"You don't have the right to stop me though." he smirked.
"Please. Just kiss my chin." I whispered, panicking. Because if this conversation takes too long, people would notice and mother might scold at me again.
He chuckled. "Alright." He said before leaning in. It was an instinct to close my eyes. Even though I knew he would just kiss me below my lips, I still didn't want to see him 'kiss' me. Thank goodness, he respects my wis— "Sike."
Before I could react to what he said, I felt his lips pressed against mine. It only took a couple of seconds but I couldn't help but to get mad at him. And it didn't help that the crowd was celebrating.
"Fuck this life." I whispered in defeat.
"No," I felt Taehyung grab my hand and laced our fingers together. I glanced at him to ask what the hell does he think he's doing but he wasn't looking at me. He was smiling at the crowd, waving. "Fuck our life."
"Ano?"
"You're not the only one who's against this fucking marriage, Amethyst. So yes," he looked at me and winked. "I hate you too."
