I woke up at 9 am took a quick shower and wore a simple white cami top and black adidas sweatpants . I am on my period , and my cramps didn't start until now which was a mercy from god . I left my hair open to air dry , and put a hair tie on my wrist to tie my hair later . I went down stairs . It was Saturday , which meant its weekend . Lucky me I thought . It also meant that Wonho is home . Damn it he's been ignoring me since we came from the coffee shop 2 weeks ago . Even though I talked to him after 2 days from when we came back from the coffee shop .
Flashback
It's been 2 days that Wonho has been ignoring me and I was feed up of playing quite and nice . We are supposed to live together forever , and if we don't learn how to love each other this shit won't work . I know this ain't our fault it's our parents , but I can't say no they have sacrificed a lot of things for me , for us me and my brothers . Before this it was Saint's turn to sacrifice his work life and now it's my turn to sacrifice my love life .
'F*ck this I need to get things straight with this egoistic moron . Ughhhhhh Mia calm down .'
I went to his office . After knocking on the door , I heard nothing so I entered after a couple of seconds . While entering I saw Wonho engrossed in his work . I sat on the chair in front of him , and waited for him to acknowledge me . It's been a couple of minutes and he still didn't raise his head from his work neither did he speak , and this was driving me crazy . I'm losing my patience .
"Excuse meeee ." , I said . No answer . " Hellooooo ", still no answer . 'Oh hell no , no one ignores me like this' , I thought to myself . I lost my patience . I stood up and slammed his computer shut . He looked shocked .
W: What the heck ! What is wrong with you ?
M: What is wrong with you ? Why are you ignoring me all the time ?
W: I'm not ignoring you .
M: Then what are you doing ?
W: Nothing , I'm just busy with work.
M: Do you know that we have to make things work between us ?
W: ......
M: Do you hate me this much ?
W: ....... ( standing up )
M: Don't do that .
W: Don't do what .
M: Stop being silent . I hate it .
W: You know what , just leave . ( opening the door )
M: Hell na . I'm not going anywhere until I know what is wrong with you . ( slams the door shut)
W: You really want to know .
M: Yes
W: First of all I need to tell you that I hate anyone knowing what's happening in my house which is the reason I've been treating you nicely in front of others . No one shall ever know what happens between me and you . What happens between these walls stays between them . Do you get it . Either it's now or in the future , it stays here .
M: Do you mean that I can't tell my friends and family about what happens between us ? That's impossible I can't hide anything from them .
W: Mia I swear if anyone knows what happens between us without my permission, you would see another side of me that you won't like .
Do you get it ?
M: Yes sir . ' I don't know why I said yes sir , but I was scared of him . It felt like he will do something.'
W: That's good , and for the reason I've been
His phone started to ring , he went to pick it up .
W: ( in Korean ) Yes Samantha . Yes . Yes . I'm on my way . Take them to the main hall . Yes . Ok .
" I have work .", he said taking his suit's jacket since he didn't change his clothes after he came .
And yeah he left me there .
End of flashback
That day I waited for him but he didn't come . It's been 1 week and 5 day since I didn't see him . Because he most of the time went to work early and came back very late , or I just had night shifts in the hospital . And I'm very sure he was avoiding me on purpose.
I went down stairs , and heard voices coming from the kitchen . While entering the kitchen I saw Wonho taking a bite of his sandwich and gulping down his orange juice . "Good morning" , I said . No answer . "Good morning" , I repeated louder . Still no answer .
M : the heck is wrong with you
W : ' silently eating his food '
M : bro you need to stop doing that , do you hate me this much .
W: ...................
M: ANSWER ME . I'M TALKING . I HATE IT WHEN YOU IGNORE ME .
W: Yes I do and never again raise your voice . Do you get it .
M: Why do you hate me ?
W: You cheat on me and ask me THE HECK WHY I HATE YOU . Ohhhh
M: How am I supposed to cheat on you and I knew you a couple of days ago . Are you sane ?
W: Ahhahaah . What about the day before I came to pick you up to go to our house .
At that moment I felt severe pain shoot in my abdomen causing me to fall hugging my stomach . He was surprised . "Are you okay ?" , he said getting up from his set .
" Yes . May we go to the living room , so I could explain." , I said getting up with Wonho's help .
We sat across each other , and I started to explain .
It was 11 am when I finished telling him everything about me and Kris . By now I was crying . He didn't say anything. I raised my head to see guilt in his eyes , he wanted to say something but he wasn't able to . Finally he took a deep breath , stood up going to his room . A couple of minutes later I saw him heading outside with a jacket in his hand . I buried my head in my arms crying , as soon as I heard the engine roar into life .
After crying and thinking for sometime , it was 12 pm now . I checked my phone and found 5 missed calls from Julia , 2 from Saint , 3 from mom , and 15 from Kris . My heart ached will reading his name . I got up , went to the toilet to wash my face and tied my hair on the way . Then I want to the kitchen to eat something since I didn't eat anything until now . I opened the fridge but suddenly I lost my appetite because of my nasty cramps . I couldn't bear the pain so I went to the room to get a water heating pad . Also got myself a blanket , a couple of pillows .
I went to the living room upstairs and laid on the black couch. I started to make calls . I started with mom . She asked about how I was , and I told her about me getting my period . She told me to take care of myself because I get colds easily when I am on my period . Then I called Saint , he told me that I am the one who is going to get Ace from the airport . After ending the call I called Julia but I was directly sent to voicemail . The last phone call I made was with Kris . He told me that he would be leaving soon . We talked a little bit more , before ending the call I told him to come and visit me at my new house . Now it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I started to feel tired so I closed my eyes and poof I was asleep .
All I could see is darkness , " Wonho ...." , "Wonho" , I repeated a little louder . As opening my eyes I wasn't at my house any more. I was sitting on a wooden chair , and a large tree behind me . To my left was a cliff , Wonho was standing between me and the cliff. I could see two kids playing at the edge of the cliff , they looked like twins at the age of 4 or 5 . Suddenly the weather had changed, the sky darkened and the wind started to blow .
Suddenly a butterfly came out of nowhere and the boy started to go after it . He was intrigued by it . The butterfly was flying to the end of the cliff , and the boy was following it . I felt my heart ache . I tried to get up from my seat but I couldn't , it felt like something was stopping me . I started to scream " WONHO STOP HIM ." , he was just looking at me no emotions showing on his face . It felt like he was dead inside "HE IS ABOUT TO FALL . Wonho pleaseeee ...... plea" , before I could even complete my words I heard a short scream followed by a loud thud .
I woke up breathing heavily, with tears in my eyes . My heart was still aching . I clenched my chest . This wasn't the first time I dreamt of this dream . It has been haunting me for the entire week . It will come a day and the next day it won't . I went down stairs to drink water .
As I passed by Wonho's office I could hear him arguing with someone and his voice was a little bit louder than usual . I just passed by because I don't like to interfere in others business.
But before turning I heard him say " What's her fault ? She was dragged into this like me , and she has a love life . I don't want to be the reason that she would hate her life forever and you know that we can never get divorced . I accused her of cheating, thinking she knew about this . I feel very guilty ." , by now curiosity has got me and I was standing in front of the door listening to what he was saying. "I don't know what my father was thinking when he signed these papers with the Salvatore family . How am I supposed to know if she knows ?"
"Why can't we get divorced ? What are these papers ? What are you talking about ? Who signed what ?" I said opening the door , revealing myself .
"Bro I don't think she knows anything about what our parents had done . I will call later." , he said ending the phone call . "May you please explain .", I said . "Okay sit down , but please wait until I finish my explanation ." , he said in French . I nodded my head .
"My mom and your mom went to a party along time ago before me and you being born. Their parties were nothing like ours . I think it was a tea party and in the party the guests would pick papers with dares on them . The dare papers would have the names of the guests that have to do the dare , and the dare written on it . It was a must to do the dare or you would either lose your entire business." , he paused slightly, then completed .
"My mum and your mum picked the same paper and in the paper it was written that their children are going to get married at the age between 23 - 26 . They had no other choice but to agree on the dare .Unfortunately my mother was never blessed with a daughter. So a son from our family, and a daughter from yours ."
"The son is I and the daughter is you . About the papers it is a written document that the two families are going to marry their children to each other and the children can never get divorced . I saw it when I was 20 years old , that was the time I knew about this shit . I know it is a stupid idea and who is this sick to think of such things . If you want to ask me anything feel free ?" , he said .
I had a lot of things running through my mind . I didn't know what to say . There were no questions to be asked because he explained everything perfectly and clearly . I need just one thing . Confirmation . "May I have your phone because I can't move right now and my phone is upstairs ." , I said as my whole body was numb . He handed me his phone immediately without saying anything.
I called my mom . After a couple of rings she answer . "Hello my dear future son-in-law , how are you ?" , she answered contentedly . "Mom it's me." I said in a dejected voice .
"Mia baby , is there something wrong ? What is wrong to your voice." , she asked worriedly.
"Mom is it true that all of this was arranged before even my birth ."
"Mia baby I can explain ."
"JUST answer me . Is it yes or no ?" , I said trying to control myself cause I know no matter what she is still my mother .
"Yes , but" , I handed the phone over to Wonho without ending the call .
"Yes mother" , was all I heard after that I couldn't feel anything nor see or hear anything. I felt numb , my body ached .
After I don't know how long , I saw Wonho pick me up bridal-style . He took me to my room and laid me on my bed , covering me with the sheets .
And left .
