THORNS of ROSES

6

As she sits in front of him many thoughts are blowing her mind.

"Am I ready?" she struggles.

She was then destructed when once again Jungkook shouted and said. "Are you that slow?!" his insults.

Then she hurriedly sits down.

...

Jungkook started to speak. "First of all I am the ONLY. I repeat the ONLY one who will speak. Is that clear?" he commanded.

Chae didn't utter a word and nods as a response.

"I don't know what lies you made to make my parents to believe that you are a real person." his accusations.

Chaeyoung's time stop and can't believe that someone would say that to her so she thought. "What the heck is he talking about?"

Then."Let me go on straight. We will never be a couple. Whatever you are dreaming just keep on dreaming. Keep it to yourself." as if he is disgusted with her.

"There's no love between us. We don't even know each other. So your title as Mrs. Jeon is only at the paper soon we will separate. Understand?"

"I will never be and can never be a perfect husband. If you want to eat, you can cook for yourself."

And he continues. "Guess what. You will sleep in the couch. Not in my room nor in the guess room but in a couch in the living room."

...

Chaeyoung is overwhelmed and keeps on processing his words one by one.

"As much I want to ask you why you want to marry a person you didn't love nor even know I will not bother for an explanation cause you are a con artist. Everything you will say is a lie anyway."

He left her with no shame to a point she can't bare the allegation.

As much as she wanted to punch him on the face she did not.

She doesn't even want to breathe the air he is breathing.

...

Chaeyoung tries her best not to cry as she clenched her hands under the table.

And instead to flare up she calmed herself.

"Is that all?" her pretenses.

"Those are few so if I still have in mind I will notify you. Understand?" he said.

"Wait. Let me tell you that this is my house so I can ask everyone I want to stay here and do whatever I wanted to do." he added.

She agrees with him to show that she is not affected by what he said.

Furthermore to show that she doesn't need his love and that she is tough.

...

Almost midnight that day.

"Jungkook aren't you going to sleep?" however he didn't answer her.

Chaeyoung is so frustrated because she is sleepy and needs to get up early for her next duty.

"I have work." she pleaded.

"So do I. So will you stop asking me when to sleep." as he continue to watch basketball game.

...

Next morning.

"Hey are you okay? You are too early for you duty." worriedly asked by Taehyung.

Like a kid Chaeyoung cried desperately and asked for a food to eat.

As a gentleman Taehyung bought foods for her.

They both eat the meal and satisfied.

...

"Doc Tae, thank you for the food." she pouted.

He gladly accepted the gratitude shown by Chaeyoung.

"Can I request you for one thing." as he gains her trust.

"Don't tell my friends about this. Please." she requested.

"I wont. Promise." he smiled.

He didn't bother to ask for an elaboration but decided to keep it for her.

Then he asked."Do you want to take a nap? I'll wake you up once it is your time." he suggested.

Since it's still early she agreed with him and take a nap to regain the strength she needed.
