chapter 47: ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
"seonghwa hyung couldn't send you to school today?" mingi asks jihyun as she sits at her deak next to him. the boys stared at her, waiting for her to answer. "what?" she gives them a dumb look.
"we all saw you come out of san's car. you two came together. has seonghwa started working at the company already? is that why he couldn't send you?" jihyun raises her eyebrows in amusement, surprised at how observant her friends are.
"oh uh that," she awkwardly laughs, scratching her nape. "i'm currently staying with my cousin and san's place is pretty close so he offered to pick me up for school." she explained, san receiving teasing looks from his friends.
"why are you staying with your cousin?" yunho asks curiously. san gives her a knowing look and she looks back at him as if telling him to answer the question for her. "everything?" he asks her and she nods softly. he looks at his watch and when he realises they have about ten minutes until class starts, he decides to tell them now seeing that only half the class has reached.
"so uh, jihyun's getting married after grad." he states straightforwardly. a series of loud "what"s and "huh"s broke out and san has to shush them up in order to not attract unnecessary attention, which they probably already did seeing how a few heads turned, looking at them with questioning looks.
they sat back on their seats, calming themselves down first. "ji, is that true?" wooyoung asks the girl, still shocked. she nods, sighing loudly. "i'm so sorry for you, ji." mingi looks at her sadly, giving her a side hug.
yeosang is oddly quiet throughout the whole convo but jihyun lets it slide, thinking maybe he's just trying his best to get over her. the whole group now knows that san and jihyun have mutual feelings so that left yeosang having to give up on her as soon as he found out.
the two were still friends and could talk but she noticed that yeosang had been trying to avoid talking to her as much and she understood. she hoped that he could get over her soon so that they could go back to being best friends. little did she know he was quiet for a different reason.

jihyun groaned when she felt her body being pushed against her locker abruptly. she turns around, not surprised when she meets gazes with the one and only, han mina. she clicks her tongue annoyedly at the short-haired infront of her.
"what do you want now?" she rolls her eyes, fixing her uniform. "why aren't you responding to my texts? do they scare you? do you not want to reply because you're afraid it's actually going to happen to you?" mina taunts her.
"why should i respond? they're nothing but empty threats. i'm not scared of you," she tries to sound brave but fails when her voice trembles slightly.
"oh, dear. you're pretty, i gotta admit, but shame how dumb you can get. watch out for me, park jihyun." mina smirks at the long-haired, walking away snugly, knowing that just a bit of threatening like this could get in jihyun's head. jihyun turns back to her locker before getting her stuff out, an uneasy feeling in her heart.
the day passed by like normal, lunch with her idiot friends, class with boring teachers and finally san sending her back to youngmin's place.
she enters the apartment unit, then gasps in shock when she sees her brother sitting on the couch, staring at her like he had been expecting her to walk through the door. "oppa! you scared me! can you not be creepy, just staring at me like that, geez." she goes over to the couch to sit next to seonghwa. seonghwa chuckles at this, ruffling his sister's hair when she sits down next to him. "anyways, what brings you here?"
"i brought over your stuff. like your school bag, a few school books and your clothes too. i put them in the room already." he briefly points to her temporary bedroom. "yay! thanks a lot!" the girl cheers, hugging him tightly. "how's mother and father? did they throw a fit about me running away?" she asks him.
"well, they're furious but they kinda understand? but like they found out i knew where you're staying because i got caught leaving the house with your stuff. so uh," he pauses for a while, as if thinking what he wants to say next. "they told me to tell you that they're fine if you want to be away from them for a while but they um– they kinda want you to meet the person you'll be marrying. they've arranged a dinner tonight so if you don't want them to come drag your ass back home, i suggest you go. just tonight, and then you won't have to see their faces for a while. is that fine?" seonghwa asks his sister, concerned.
jihyun hesitates for a bit before agreeing. "will you be there?" she asks him. "no. this is only a dinner for our parents and you, with yknow, your um– your fiancé's parents," seonghwa grimaces as he says that word. jihyun did too before sighing. "okay, fine. i'll go but after that i don't want them bothering me until i finish my finals." seonghwa looks at his sister sadly. he couldn't believe that his parents really chose his sister to put through this instead of him.
he wanted so bad to tell his parents to marry him off instead of his sister but he knew that could never happen. he couldn't bear to see his sister get married to someone she didn't love, heck, even knows. he knew about her and san and he really wanted to see where the two could go but apparently to mr park, his children's happiness isn't important.
