Shoot. I slowly got up to stand but ended up losing my balance and almost fell but I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist and I looked up to see Sungjae only millimetres away from my face.

Soo-young POV

My heart started beating really fast, WAIT why was my heart beating fast for him? He's a jerk, I can't fall for him. Stop it heart.

Soo-young: "You can let go of me now".

Sungjae opens his arms and I fall to the ground making my butt- and ankle- hurt.

Soo-young: "Yah, I told you to put me down not drop me".

Sungjae: "You told me to put you down not how to".

Soo-young: "Aish, when will you be nice to me?"

Sungjae P.O.V

I went into the kitchen to make some porridge for her, however when I came out from the kitchen I saw Soo-young in a deep sleep, I went over to wake her up to eat the porridge as she needs nourishment but she didn't budge so I picked her up and brought her to her bedroom laying her down in her bed, careful not to wake her up. She looked so cute whilst sleeping. Wait Sungjae what are you thinking about? You don't like her, this is an arranged marriage. I whisper into her ears, "sorry for hurting you". I then tucked her in and left her room, closing the door behind and leaving her house.

(Next morning)

Ring-Ring-Ring

Sungjae: "Aish who the heck is calling me this early in the morning".

I grabbed my phone from my bedside table and answered it.

Sungjae: "Who is this?" I ask with my eyes closed.

Soo-young: "It's me, Soo-young".

Sungjae: "What could you possibly call for this early in the morning?!"

Soo-young: "Oh sorry, I didn't know you were still asleep, I just wanted to remind you that the wedding is next week".

Sungjae: "Woww, you called me this early to tell me that". I frown

Soo-young: "It's not early; it's 12 in the afternoon".

Sungjae: "Whatever, do you need anything else?".

Soo-young: "Uhhhm, I- I wanted to thank you for yesterday".

Sungjae: "For what?"

Soo-young: "For helping me with my ankle, and also making me porridge".

Sungjae: "You don't need to thank me for that, it was my fault it all happened in the first place."

Soo-young: "Yeah but I still need to thank you".

I hung up, threw my phone onto the bedside table and closed my eyes again. I then woke up suddenly to somebody yelling their heart out in my ear

Sungjae: "YAHHH, WHAT THE HELL?!!!!"

I looked up to the person who was screaming their head off and saw it was my grandmother standing there beside my bed with her hands on her hips.

Sungjae: "Grandma, what are you doing here?"

Grandma: "I'm here for your wedding".

Sungjae: "Right".

Grandma: "it seems to me, you're not happy".

Sungjae: "Well obviously I'm not happy; I don't like the girl that I am getting married to."

Grandma: "How come, I've heard from your mother that she's really nice".

Sungjae: "But she's not my type. I hate her".

My Grandma sighs and sits at the edge of my bed.

Grandma: "Look here my love, you're going to regret that you ever said that one day cause you don't know maybe one day you'll fall in love with her".

Sungjae: "Yeah but that will never happen".

My grandma sighs and leaves the room.

I got up from my bed, did my morning routine and went downstairs to find my parents talking with Soo-young's parents.

Sungjae: "Oh annyeonghaseyo Ajumma and Ajushi".

Soo-young's Mum: "Annyeonghaseyo my dear".

Mum: "Sungjae, we were just discussing some details about your wedding".

Sungjae: "Of course. Where's Soo-young?".

Mum: "She's in the garden, sitting on the swing, why are you worried about her?" she says with a smirk.

Sungjae: "Eomma!!"

Mum: "I'm just kidding".

Sungjae: "Ughh".

I walked through the back door into the garden where I found her in a blue summer dress with her hair in a long braid and wearing flat shoes and crutches from her ankle injury. I walked up to her quietly and put my hands on her shoulders, startling her.

Soo-young: "Yah You scared me!" She says, turning around.

Sungjae: "What are you doing here?"

Soo-young: "Why do you care?"

She stands and walks away with her crutches, actually more like hops and I just follow and laugh at her.

Soo-young: "Stop following me".

Sungjae: "Why?"

Soo-young: "Cause you're annoying me".

Sungjae: "Stop calling your husband-to-be annoying".

Soo-young smirks and sticks out her tongue and hops back into the house.

Sungjae: "Yah, where are you going?" I say whilst running after her.

When I enter the room, I see her crouched down and crying whilst holding onto her ankle. I sat beside her and pulled her into a hug whilst running my hand through her hair gently. It was as smooth as silk.

Sungjae: "It's ok don't cry.".

After she calmed down we went into my room and we both ended up falling asleep on my bed but I suddenly woke up to sounds of flashes and people giggling. I opened my eyes to see my parents and Soo-young's parents taking pictures of us.

Mum: "Oh sorry Sungjae if we disturbed you, you two looked so cute sleeping together".

Sungjae: "Eomma!"

Soo-young's Dad: "Here let me take her"

Soo-young's Mum: "Sorry if she troubled you Sungjae".

Sungjae: "It was nothing".

Her Dad carried Soo-young to the car whilst her Mum carried her crutches and bag to it and they left. I went back to my room, took a shower and fell asleep again.
