i look up to see a pretty boy wearing a black suit, my age standing upon my distressed appearance, hands stretch wide for me to hold.
"why are you crying?" he asked
i hesitantly put my hands over his, our hands interwining.
he tries to bring me up to my feet but just until then, his grip slowly drifts away as he purposely let go of my hand. before i knew it, i was on the floor once again, black dress stained with mud; this time, my buttcheeks burning causing me to bawl my eyes out.
the boy who was laughing at me teasingly quickly came to a halt when he noticed me crying once again.
"s-sorry, i just tried to make you laugh" he mumbled as he tried to pull me into his embrace.
"don't cry"

12 years later ▪

i opened my bag listing out the things i needed as i hummed to the music on the background.
"i can't believe they decided my marriage partner without my consent" i whispered as i peered through the picture on my hand.
"as long as he's happy about it"

i closed my door shut running down the stairs, smiling at my mom who was waiting for me.
"you ready?" her eyebrows rose
i nod in response as we walked to the car.
i stuffed my bags into the trunk then sat comfortably on the front seat, hands supporting my head as i looked out the window.

"semi, i need to tell you something"
"yes mom?" i smiled
"actually.. you see.."
"what happened?"
"your father treasured this one friend, they've been together ever since they were young and your father was very supportive of him, in fact when he got his first child, a boy, who was born a few months earlier than you, they promised that you would get married.."
"whAt?"
"they treasure eachother so much that they want our families to love eachother and unite"
"wait wait wait, you're saying your okay with me marrying at 19?" i ranted
"you don't have to marry eachother that quickly, you'll probably get married a year from now" she continued
"but why are you telling me this now?"
"we decided that you should get to know eachother first" she answered
i furrowed my brows in confusion.
"his mother and i are going to a trip together, you will be staying over for a month or so"
"whAt?!! you're leaving your only daughter in a guy's house?!"
"don't worry, i trust that you know whats right and wrong, and you won't be alone, he has a younger brother and sister, they'll keep you in check" she smirked
"b-but"
"look, i wouldn't have agreed with you marrying someone you don't know, but, you know your father wished for this! its too bad he won't get to witness it. just give him his final wish?"
"mom.." i sighed
dad, if this is what you realy want.. i'll give it a shot

i recalled.

slowly, my eyes open, blinking, my face scrunched.
"sorry did i wake you?" mom asked
"no no not at all" i yawned
i looked through the window seeing a well designed house, was it a house? its too big to be called that.
"this is where you'll be staying"
my eyes widened in surprise as i switched my gaze from the mansion to my mom.

"woah" i mumbled as i stood infront of the mansion, next to it a beautiful garden that piked my interest
"you seem to be enjoying the view"
i turned to look at my mom struggling to get the bags out of the trunk
"sORry" my voice broke as i rushed over to help.
i carried the bags to the door as mom knocked

...

the doors finally open revealing a woman in her 40s
"oh you're here! welcome, come inside, jeonho hurry up and help the girl"
a tall boy wearing a hoodie came running towards us to carry the bags off my hand, smiling gently.
"hello" he said
"hi :)" i smiled
damn is this my partner? hEs prETTy- he seems nice too
the woman gestured us to get inside

i observed the fancy looking living room infront of me
"do you like it?" the woman asked
"hmm.. its quite the sight" i answered sheepishly
the woman laughed as she pat my back
"this is mrs. yoon" mom added
"hello" i smile at the gentle looking woman
"pleased to meet you"

"jeonghan!" she called
a boy wearing a white blouse tucked into denims appeared coming down from the stairs
"cOMinG" he shouted
his voice is pretty, AND WAIT WHAT, yoon? jeonghan? yOu mEAn jeOnGgHAn? the jEonghAn?? he's the popular kid at university.. the one dating sowon? :/

he walked down the stairs, revealing his face
woah
he had an even prettier face than me, a girl, i straightened my back making me look more nervous as he made his way over to us

"hello i'm yoon jeonghan" he smiled
"this is my son and.."
"jeonghan this is lee semi" mrs. yoon added
"you're marriage partner"
... WHAT THE HELL- HIM? HE- SOWON WHAT

his eyes widen in surprise as he stood up
"mom, you know i already have someone, why are you still asking me to marry?.." he sighed hands covering his face
"this is what your dad wants, what i want" she replied
"when will you listen to what i want?" he asked smile fading, walking away
"you-" she answeed
"its okay mrs. yoon, i understand that he has someone already why don't we stop here" i interrupted
i don't want to marry someone who'll be cheating on me

my mother sighed and said "semi, i'm sorry honey but.."
"mom come on he already has someone he's with"
"no. don't worry semi, they'll break up sooner or later, please marry my son"
"b-but"
"you're already here anyway honey, just get to know eachother first" mom added.
i sigh as mrs. yoon lead me to a room; next to jeonghan's

after unpacking my bags, i hurriedly jumped on the bed laying on my back. i stared at the ceiling as if it were alive.

i'm dead, i'm gonna have to marry a guy who not only doesn't love me but i don't love aswell, adding to that, he has a girlfriend.
