Today, I will be married. At least the ceremony is not today. Today, I just have to meet my future husband and sign papers. I might like him. I hope that I like him. If not, I have no choice but to marry him and live under his roof and cook for him.
I walk out of my room, sleepily and watch my mom make breakfast. I yawn constantly. "How you'd sleep, honey?" She asks. "I was okay. You?" I ask. "Same old. Me being an old woman now is not helping me." She answers. "Mom, 45 is not old. It's actually quite young next to my 24." I say. "Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you for coming over last night and staying the night. I know you have your own apartment and everything but, thank you, still." She answers.
"Mom, why do I have to get married?" I whine. "Chun-Ae, please don't start with me." My mom says. "I don't want to get married though!" I say. "It's not your choice!" Mom says and slams her hand down. I flinch. I've never seen her be so upset before. "Besides, you might like him." She says, calming herself down. "Fine," I say and wait for breakfast.
My dad stalks into the kitchen. He kisses my forehead. "Good morning," He says. "Good morning." I say. "Today is the day," He says. "I know, dad." I say. "Oh, honey, cheer up." He says. "Maybe," I say and smile. My parents have always known how to cheer me up. My family are like 3 peas in a pod, me being an only child.
After breakfast, I check my phone as I walk up stairs to change. My best friend, Zhi, is texting me. I yawn again.

I laugh at her last text. I walk downstairs and wait in the kitchen for my parents. Why did this idiot even agree to an arranged marriage? When my parents are finally ready, we drive to the court house.

Min Yoongi
"Get up, now, Yoongi!" My mother yells into my ear through my phone. "Why? I don't want to be married." I say. "Min Yoon-gi, if you do not get up right now, I will come to your house and drag you to the courthouse in your pajamas by your ear." My mom says. "Fine. Fine. I'm up." I say. "Good." She says and hangs up. "Women are crazy." I say.
I get up and take a shower. "I don't want to fucking get married. I'm only 28." I mumble. After my shower, I put on a silk button down shirt that hangs loosely on my body. I put on black jeans and new shoes. I slide a thin chain around my neck and put a hanging earring in my ear. I look at myself in the mirror.
I look dead. I brush my teeth and walk out of my bathroom. I grab my phone off of the charger and my car keys. My closest friend is texting me.
Seokie🤘: Good luck today, hyung.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDf897TRab

Seokie🤘: Hyung, come on.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWdigpCJGf
Me: just saying.
I walk down to my car and climb into it. I have to meet my parents at the courthouse. Who sets an arranged marriage nowadays? Why did that stupid girl agree? I pull into the parking lot 20 minutes later. I walk into the court house nonchalantly.

I'm standing in between my mom and dad. We're all holding hands. All of our support. A few minutes after we arrive, so does his family, I believe. We introduce ourselves. "I'm so sorry, Yiane. My son is late." The mother says. "Oh, that is fine." My mom says.
No it’s not. Why is he so late? Doesn't he understand, I don't even want to be here. He needs to hurry up. 10 minutes later, a door opens and closes. A handsome man walks in. He has half white hair and half black hair. He’s wearing a silk button down. It hangs off of him loosely. He has a cross earring in his ear. I like his shoes. He's hot, I must admit. But I still do not want to marry him.
He checks his phone. "You're late." His mom says. "I'm here." He says. "Fine, Yoongi." His mom says. Yoongi. That's his name? He looks at me. I narrow my eyes when he smirks. "Can we get this over with, please?" I say. "Yes, let's do that." My mom says. We walk down a hall and into a room where I have to sit next to this Yoongi guy.

I'm officially married. I am moving into his house in 3 weeks. I don't have to see him, which I am happy about. Me and my family are walking out of the courtroom when Zhi texts me.

My best friend is probably the most stupid person I've met. Which is why we're best friends. I am the stupidest person she's met. I love my best friend a lot. Now we have a tradition. If I say dude, she has to say bro and vice versa. Finally the car pulls up to my parent’s house.

"Thank you for doing that peacefully. I know it took a lot." My mom says. "It's okay, mom. It wasn't my choice. I did what you told me to do." I say. She hugs me. "I love you." She says. "I love you too, mom." I say. My dad hugs us both. When he pulls away he says, "Isn't he a handsome boy?" I choke on air. "I mean, his fashion choice is not my style but he is handsome." My day says. "Yeah, yeah. Uhm, sure." I say, gasping from choking on the air when they both look at me.
"Are you okay?" My dad asks, patting my back. "Yes. I. Just. Choked on. Air." I gasp out. "Silly girl." My dad says and laughs. I look around at nothing in particular. "And, appa, your fashion choice is to wear khakis and a sports shirt. I love you but your fashion choice is weird. But I'm going to go home now. Uhm, yeah. Love you guys." I say and hug them again. I walk upstairs and grab my things. "Goodbye, honey~!" My mom calls as I walk out of the house. I climb into my car.
At home, I pull off my shoes and lay down on my couch. I turn the TV on and watch Netflix. My phone rings and there is an unknown number. I hit decline. The number calls again. I hit decline again. I stare at my phone. Who is calling me?

Min Yoongi
This girl will not answer. Does she think I want to call her willingly? I try one last time. "Hello?" She answers. "Finally." I say. "Who is this?" She asks. "Min Yoongi. Your future husband." I say. "How did you get my number?" She asks. "Wow. Little attitude, I see." I snicker. "How. Did. You. Get. My number." She asks again. "Call down. I’m not calling you because I want to. My mom told me to when she gave me your number." I say. "And you did? " She says.
"Yes. I'm on the phone, aren't I?" I say and smirk. "Look. I don't want to marry you. So, please don't make this even more annoying than it already is." She says. "Wow. Feisty, I see. I don't want to marry you either." I say. "Good. Then this call is over." She says. "But! I have to, so I'd like to get to know you so I know who I am going to be kissing and having a marriage ceremony with." I say. "We’re not going to kiss. Ew, you’re gross. You're rude." She says. "Thank you." I say. "Okay. Bye." She says. "No. Can we meet in two days on Friday?" I ask. "Ew. No." She answers quickly. "We already established that neither of us want to marry each other. Please, can we just meet up?" I say. "I-" She hesitates. "Fine." She says. "Good. See you on Friday at the mall. How about noon?" I ask. "Sure." She says. She hangs up on me. I smirk at my phone. Maybe I will like her. She amuses me. I chuckle.
