Love Contract / Mark Lee

Chapter 21

"Ok you need to hurry up and have all your people in check. The wedding is in its final preparations a-and you need to have your bridesmaids ready." April said. Areum gazed at the paper in front of her. April stared at her.

"And maybe we should have elephants that carry you in, unlike normal weddings." She chirped. Areum nodded.

"That sounds great,'' Areum replied. April raised an eyebrow.

"And maybe we could also make you an ice sculpture in the shape of canada!" She exclaimed. Areum nodded.

"Exactly what I was thinking." She said. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked up.

"Wait, did you say something about elephants the size of canada?" She asked. April rolled her eyes.

"A-alright what's going on with you? You haven't been paying attention to anything I said. This part is important." She rambled. Areum sighed and wiped her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I've just had a lot on my mind lately. About the wedding and some other things." She said. April sighed.

"I know. But I need you to focus. How are we doing with the guest list?" She asked. Areum shrugged.

"Um, my mom is the one who has the full guest list. She said she'll fax it to you tonight." She said. Areum bit her lip.

" I-i just don't know who i'm gonna pick for my maid of honor yet." She said. April raised her eyebrows.

"Well, who are your bridesmaids?"

"Mina, Hyeri, Alice and my cousin." She said. April sighed.

"Well, find someone who has always been there for you. Who cares about you like a sister. Who always worries about you . Do you have anyone in mind?" She asked. Areum smiled.

"Y-yeah, I do."

Areum knocked on Jeno's Apartment for the third time. She heard him shuffle over to the door.

"Areum? Why'd you knock? You never knock!" He said. She sighed, letting herself into his apartment.

"Well, I didn't know if you were here or at your parents house. I mean your roommate lives here more than you do!" She said. He chuckled.

"Yeah well, if I pay rent, might as well live here. And he went to his parents for winter break." He said, ruffling his hair.

"Hey, who was at the door- oh hey!" Haechan said, walking over to her. He gave her a small peck on her cheek. She smiled.

"Hey. I just wanted to ask Jeno something. Something really important." She said. He raised his eyebrows.

"Is this something the thing we talked about over yesterday?" He asked. She nodded.

"Yeah. That thing," She said. Haechan smiled. Jeno furrowed his eyebrows.

"What thing is this? Did you get her pregnant?!" He asked. She rolled her eyes.

"I can't get someone pregnant if I haven't had sex with them yet." Haechan said, glaring at her. Areum looked away, trying to avoid the conversation.

"Ok so I've been thinking about our friendship. A-and how you have always been there for me. You are like the brother I never had- wait I have a brother" She said. Jeno chuckled.

"What are you trying to say? Are you breaking up with me?" He said.

"N-no Im not breaking up with you!" She chuckled. Haechan furrowed his eyebrows and sat down on the couch.
