"Are you really about to cry?" He asked me. I kept quiet still hurt by his words, they were true but he didn't have to say them, he didn't have to be so blunt. "Come on Mei, grow up, this is the real world and this is how it works. The real world isn't your mansion where you are overprotected by your parents and in the real world, the world doesn't revolve around you, not everyone cares," he added. I stared at him and more tears rolled down my face. I tapped the emergency button and ripped out the cannula hub from my hand. "Oww," I screamed in pain, I didn't think that through and I didn't think about how much it was going to hurt. "Mei," Min Jun called out and rushed to my side but I wouldn't let him touch me or my bleeding hand. Nurses rushed into the room and looked so confused. One of them ran to me and started attending to my wounds while another went to get a doctor. "What happened?" she asked while trying to control the blood. "I don't know, one moment I was talking to her,
Immediately his lips met with my forehead I froze and my face got hot, I know my face must be as red as a cherry. "Should I apologize?" Min Jun asked. "Do you regret it?" I asked covering my face again with the pillow. "You know I already saw your cherry-red face and no I do not regret it. It was just a forehead kiss, what's there to regret?" He asked and pulled the pillow away. "Stop messing with my pillow," I said and pulled it from him. I covered my face again but this time I hugged the pillow so he wouldn't be able to pull it away so easily. "I guess there's nothing to regret, it was simply a kiss to the forehead, it's just something only my parents do, it's not that significant," I blabbed into my pillow. "I can't hear you with the pillow pressed against your face and isn't that suffocating?" He asked tugging the pillow. I let the pillow go and looked at him. "Why are you acting like you care? And just ignore my blabbing," I said. "I don't want to ignore it but I know you won't
We arrived at the mansion and Mom left for the firm while Dad remained home. Aren't you going to the firm?" I asked him. "Are you chasing me from my own home?" he asked me. "No, I am just concerned, it is 2 pm and Mom left a while ago," I told him. "Are you chasing me from my house?" He asked again. "No, I am just worried," I said. "It is not your duty to worry about your parents," He told me. "What about the firm?" I asked. "Your mom is there to run its affairs while I am home," He answered. "Aren't you needed?" I asked him. "Your mom is there, the firm is in capable hands. She can run the firm without my help," He said. "Oh, that's great," I said. "Will that be all?" he asked me. "Yes," I paused and asked a question. "Are you going to your room?". "Is there a problem?" He asked me and I shook my head. "No I am not going to my room, I am going to be here in the living room all day," He said. "So you aren't going to the firm?" I asked him. "Lunch should be ready, go and eat and stop
I watched as the bedsheet slowly came undone and it slowly untangled from the bars of the balcony, I screamed preparing for a very painful fall while Min Jun screamed my name. I landed on my butt with a very slight thud and it barely hurt. "Oh," I said and snickered. "Are you hurt?" Min Jun asked concerned. "Do I sound hurt?" I asked him. "With that attitude, I'm guessing you aren't," he said. "Yes, it was just a light thud, my butt hurts, but just a little," I said and rubbed my ass. "Your character should be rubbing off on me and not you being like me," he said. "Ever seen a god apple make a rotten apple good?" I asked him. He changed the topic and avoided the question. "How high was the fall?" He asked me. I laughed before I told him it was about 4 feet. "Are you serious, I thought it was higher," He groaned and I heard a slap. He probably face-palmed himself disappointed. "From my view, it looked so high and scary," I explained. "Definitely so high," He said sarcastically. "Wh
The rings were amazing. "I have pretty good taste," I joked and collected the ring box. "Yes, you do. Although it's expensive too," he said. "I only have a life to live so I am going to enjoy it," I replied. "Do you want to try on the rings?" he asked me. "Nope, I'll wait till our wedding," I said. "I guess we are almost done with all our appointments, we only need to go see the venue and get married," he said. "Yeah, and I need to get the invitation cards and give a few to you," I reminded myself. "I hope that won't cost a lot of money too?" He asked me. "Why are you asking?" I asked still admiring the rings. "Because your parents won't provide you with money, you don't have a job and you haven't paid me for agreeing to this contract," he pointed out. "You just had to spoil the beautiful moment," I said annoyed at his words. I closed the ring box and placed it beside my phone. "I will pay you the other half after we get married, I have the money stop worrying about the expenses. You
My words snapped my parents out of their shock. "Do you know what it takes to have a wedding?" Mom asked me. "Yes, it takes a husband, a dress and a venue, and of course a date to tie the knot and I have everything and I planned everything," I replied. "When did you get all this done?" Mom asked. "I am an adult mom, I can do things on my own if that is what you mean," I replied to Mom and called out to my dad. "I need to leave for my appointment by 3 pm, I hope I am permitted to leave?" I asked. "You cannot get married," Dad said. He finally said something. "Everything I have done was done with your money and you taught me not to waste resources, I do not want to waste the resources and time I put into planning my wedding," I said. "I am going to get married and you can choose to come or not, that is your decision," I added. "Mei, this is a lot to take in," Mom said. "Finding out I have cancer was a lot, I need to do all this and I need to do them quick," I replied. "I will hand yo
"So that's it?" he asked. "Yeah," I replied and headed towards the church. He pulled me back and because I wasn't prepared I landed on the grassy floor but I didn't fall alone, I pulled Min Jun along with me while trying not to fall. I laid under his weight avoiding his gaze. "Stop staring at me so intensely," I whined and attempted to push him. "You aren't listening to me," He said. "I was, you just kept repeating what you said and I already heard it," I said and groaned. "I was still trying to process the news of our wedding being next week," He replied. I groaned and tried to push him. "Can we not be in this position,? You are crushing me," I whined. "You can only hear me when we are in this position," HE said. I rolled my eyes at him and hit his chest. "Get off me, this is a compromising position," I complained. "How compromising?" He asked and moved his face close to mine. I could feel his breath on my face and I was seeing all the little details of his face. I was staring at h
"Min," I called out to him. He ignored me and kept on walking away. "Hey, Min," I said running after him. "Slow down, I am trying to catch up," I heaved. "I am not exactly running," He said still walking away, I got to him and grabbed him. "Min," I whined. "Look Mei, I just want to go home, where I belong and where I am appreciated," he said and pulled his hand from my grip. "Min, I am sorry, I was just stating the truth, this is a contract, and part of the contract is pleasing my parents and all you have to do is dress up, it shouldn't be that hard and you shouldn't be complaining," I said and sighed. "I am not complaining, I just want to go home okay?" He said. "Can I drop you at your place?" I offered. "No, there will be no need for that," He said hastily rejecting my offer. "We will get married in a week and I will know your home, don't be shy," I said trying to convince him to let me take him home. "Next week, it'll be a surprise," He said and walked away. Loving someone isn't
