Since When Was "Arranged Marriage" a Bad Thing?

8) Nightmare

Hyuk's P.O.V 

"Yes mom. I did what you asked. Mmhm, got it. I'll let them spend the night there. Ok, got it. No problem, but you really can't send me overseas now. Thank you. Ok. Love you too. Bye." I said hanging up my phone.

Mina's P.O.V 

I awoke to the sound of whimpers. When I opened my eyes it was already night time. I was leaning on Leo's shoulder while his head was on mine. Carefully without waking him, I lifted his head and laid him on my lap. He was the owner of the whimpers, accompanied by a troubled face. He must be having a nightmare. I gently ran my fingers through his hair in an attempt to soothe him.

"No. No mom. No! I said no mom! Not her. Don't hurt her please. Mom I swear it was just once." Were some things I was able to make out from his mumbles. And then suddenly he awoke in a cold sweat.

He met my gaze for just 2 seconds and then he sat up. He currled into a ball just long enough to recognize his surroundings.

"Did.... did I say anything during my sleep?" He said looking nervously.

"No, why do you sleep talk?" I said knowing he'd probably become uncomfortable if I knew about his other girlfriend.

"No, just wondering. What time is it?" He asked looking at his phone. 

"10 pm" I said with dread knowing we'd be stuck there til the morning.

There was a silence as we looked through our phones but without connection we both put them down. The moonlight of the full moon outside light up the elevator just enough to where I could make out his face.

"So.... have you been in any relationships before?" I said but regretted immediately for the fear of turning things awkward.

"So I did sleep talk." He said with a smirk.

"No- well yeah. But you didn't say much." I tried to better the situation.

"Don't get wrong idea, I won't tell you right now, just in case we don't end up getting married in the end, but it's not what you're thinking." He said with another smirk add he looked out the glass wall into the night lights of Seoul.

"Ok. I'm gonna take another nap, you know to pass the time." I said as I laid down.

"Ok. Sweet dreams." He said with his soothing voice.

Leo's  P.O.V 

~flashback~

"No. No mom. No! I said no mom! Not her. Don't hurt her please. Mom I swear it was just once." I pleaded as my mom threatened to send my sister overseas.

"You should have known better than to ask your sister to set you up on that date!" She said coldly as she ripped her arm out of my grasp.

"I'm sorry noona sister, I'm so sorry." I apologized once in my sister's room which was empty with all the suitcases by the door.

"Listen to me Taek Woon-ah" She said as she caressed my face. "People think being rich is the best way to live, but I'm pretty sure we prove otherwise. Don't be sad, it's not your fault I'm leaving. I decided to set you up on that date but it was a risk worth taking. Mom's just sending me away because I'm going against her principles to show you the right way to live. If I were you I would have gone to that date, so that what I did wasn't in vain. Don't worry

I'll be back before long." She said as she hugged me trying to hide her obvious tears.

All that came back was the report of her plane crash.

~back to reality~

It was a good thing she was asleep, otherwise she would have seen my bitter, cold tears rolling down my cheeks. I slowly lifted her head and returned the favor by placing her on my lap. After all these years I still loved that girl who played the piano in the empty greenhouse that she had turned into her music hall.
