"Jaein get off me, you're heavy." I tried pushing her off me. We fell asleep on the couch while stalking Taehyung's ex-girlfriend. I know it's pathetic, but the more information I have about him the better. "Are your legs made out of stone?"
"I told you two to clean up. Why isn't it clean? You're both in your twenties, yet you act like you're still teenagers. Bora you're going to get married tomorrow. At least you can be a little more responsible." We both sat up on the couch only to listen to Jiyoo unnie complain about us.
"I'm sorry unnie, have you met me." She rolled her eyes at me.
"I have to go to work. Clean this up."
"So, tomorrow is the big day." Jaein said and got up from the couch. She started cleaning the mess we made yesterday. I also got up to help. "I was thinking we should get you waxed."
I looked at her confused and asked "Why should I get waxed?"
"Duh, for tomorrow after the wedding. You don't want to give him the shock of his life by looking like a freaking monkey. Do you?" I crossed my arms. I'm not going to sleep with him. I made the rule 'no physical contact.'
I sat back down and said "I'm not going to have sex with him so I don't need to get waxed."
"As your best friend I demand, you get waxed. Just in case you might do it."
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
I can't believe I let her talk me into this. I don't want to get waxed. This is going to hurt like a bitch.
"Hi, what can we do for you ladies today?" The friendly woman behind the counter asked. It looks nice and clean here. They must have a lot of customers.
"Hello, my friend here is getting married tomorrow." Why does she always have to say that? It's not like anyone cares. "So, she'll need a full body wax." The fuck. Full body? "Especially, the bikini region. You know what just wax it all off her vagina."
What did she just say? "No, what the fuck. I'm not going to walk around looking like a naked mole rat."
"That's disgusting." She was right. I even disgusted myself.
"Doesn't matter. I'm not going to sleep with him so I'm not going to get waxed there." I said and forced a smile in front of the lady. I didn't want to be rude or anything.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
It's sad how easy she manipulated me. I just laid there after getting a full body wax. I couldn't feel my body anymore. She waxed off everything. Even my pubic hair. That hurt like a bitch. I knew it would.
The door opened and there she stood, smiling down at me. The evil bitch that made me get waxed. "How are you feeling?"
"I hate you."
She helped me get up. It's swollen in between my legs. How am I even supposed to walk like this? Why am I going through so much pain for a man who isn't even going to see if I've gotten waxed or not?
I was about to pay the woman at the counter when Jaein suddenly grabbed my wrist. "That's the girl." I looked up at where she was looking and it was Taehyung's ex-girlfriend. I quickly paid and turned around. I didn't know why I didn't want her seeing me. It's not like she knows me.
She was talking on the phone. We both pretended to be busy reading magazines while eavesdropping on her conversation. "Oh please, I heard she isn't pretty at all. I don't understand, I broke up with him only two months ago and now he is getting married. Something is off.... Of course, he didn't know about my affair. Tae was still very much in love with me. It wasn't easy though making him fall in love with me. It took some time to play the perfect girl.... If I can make him feel uncomfortable at his own wedding why wouldn't I." She walked out as if she was the queen, making people step aside for her.
We both looked at each other in shock. This is legit only something that happens in dramas. "He doesn't even know she cheated on him. She broke his heart."
"She used him for the money probably and she is coming tomorrow. When you see her, you need to be in full bitch mode." Oh, if only I could hit her in the face. I would totally make her beg for his forgiveness. People like her deserve to get a good beating. But you know I don't condone violence.
As I glanced over at the clock that was on the wall, I saw that it was already 12.30. I needed to pick up my wedding dress.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
We got into the building and headed straight to his office. "You could have waited in the car. I'm just going to get my wedding dress from him." I said to Jaein who was overly excited.
"And miss the opportunity of meeting Jimin." She was doing her hair in the elevator. She made me hold her phone as a mirror for her.
We got to the top floor where his office is located. "I don't even know for sure if he'll be here." I said as we walked up to his secretary. She said we could enter.
Taehyung and Jimin both were seated waiting. As we walked in, I first introduced Jaein. They greeted each other and it didn't take long until Jaein took the lead in the conversation. "Taehyung oppa, are you excited for the wedding or are you more interested in what's going to happen after...like Bora is?" He looked me straight in the eyes with the biggest smirk.
Why is she like this? I nudged her with my elbow, she looked at me with no regret. Two can play this game. "Jimin oppa, the moment I talked about you to Jaein she looked you up on social media. She has been stalking you for the past two days." Both guys tried to hold their laughter. "She was very upset when she couldn't find a shirtless picture of you."
Jaein looked really embarrassed. I didn't care though. She embarrassed me first. We finally got the wedding dress and walked out.
"I can't believe you said that about me." She said clearly embarrassed. It'll pass. "Maybe, this will benefit me and he'll think. 'Yeah, why not. I'll have sex with her.'"
She is unbelievable. I pushed her in the elevator so we can get out of this building.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★ TAEHYUNG ★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
We both laughed so hard when the girls left. Her friend is just as crazy as she is. "They're so funny. I bet we would have a lot of fun hanging with all four of us." Jimin said while laughing.
"Yeah, so you can make your move on her friend. She's cute and clearly attracted to you. Your ideal type." He rolled his eyes at me.
"I'm in a relationship."
"Oh, you call that thing that you both have a relationship. I mean you guys breakup then make up and then breakup and then make up again. How is that a relationship?" It's not healthy what he is doing. He is clearly suffering from this. If he would listen to me, he would breakup with her one last time and walk away. She is no good for him.
"Fuck you Taehyung. It's not that easy. I love her." He said while going with his hand through his hair. I'm sensing they aren't really on good terms right now.
"Did you get into a fight again?" He's my best friend. I love him so much and I want him to be the happiest he can be, but this girl isn't the one for him.
"Maybe, you're right. I'm going to give it one more try, but if it doesn't work out then I'm done." Sure, he says that every time. I can't really say anything about it because I'm much worse. I loved or kind of still am in love with my ex.
"Follow your heart. Do what you feel is right." Jimin left after that. He had things to work on.
I slumped back in my chair. I'm getting married tomorrow, yet I'm here thinking about a woman who dumped me two months ago for another man. I assume she cheated on me, but I can't accuse her of something I'm not sure of. Women, they only give me a headache. I should've dated Jimin. Nah, Jimin can be a drama queen sometimes too.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★ BORA ★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
I arrived home and guess who's here. It's Gossip. Doesn't she have her own home. This time I walked straight inside. I don't care anymore.
"Is that your wedding dress?" I rolled my eyes and turned around. I had my dress in my hands. It was inside the cover so she couldn't see it, but that didn't stop her from trying to make me take it out. "Put it on so we can see you in it."
I turned towards my mom and she wasn't even looking at me. Am I making her that uncomfortable? I lived here for 22 years and these past two days are that difficult for her that she can't even look at my face.
"You can see it tomorrow at the wedding." I made my way upstairs. I'm supposed to pack my stuff. Jaein promised to help me get everything together.
I'm moving in with Taehyung immediately after the wedding. I'm nervous. I can't stop thinking about how the sleeping arrangement will be. What if he doesn't have an extra room and I have to sleep on the couch? Or what if he expects me to sleep in the same bed with him?
The door of my room opened. "Miss me? I brought food." I smiled at her. She is the only one supporting me right now. "Are you getting ready for tomorrow night. You need to wear something sexy underneath your wedding dress."
I take it back. She isn't supportive at all. She's making everything worse. "Jaein, I'm seriously considering unfriending you."
"Are you sure you want to do that. I'm basically your only friend." She snorted back. "By the way, what's Gossip doing here again? Doesn't she have her own home. Omg, I forgot to tell you. You know she extremely dislikes her sons knocked up girlfriend." She whispered the last part.
"What? How do you know that?" I was surprised by what she was saying. She really hates Gossip more than me. Every misery that Gossip has in her life brings pure joy to her.
"I heard her talk about it just now. I feel bad for her son though. Having a mother like her on top of all his personal problems. That has to be hard." I laughed at her comment, but then quickly realized that I'm not better.
"Mine didn't even look at my face let alone said hello." I tried to distract myself by taking my clothes out of my closet.
"Why is she being like this?" I shrugged my shoulders. If only I had the answer to that. "Let's eat and then I'll help you with everything." I sat down beside her and we ate the pizza she brought.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
"Are you going to take everything with you? That's a lot of stuff. We won't be able to get everything tonight." Jaein was right it was a lot, but most of my stuff were things I never even used. Like I have three different curling irons. I have never used them. I don't curl my hair. To be fair one of them was Yoora's until I borrowed it and never gave it back. I never even used it.
"I want this room to be empty." I sighed as I looked around my room. After tomorrow I'll never sleep in this room ever again.
*knock knock*
We both looked at the door when my mom came in and said "I was wondering how everything is going." Again, she didn't look at me. She was looking at Jaein. I swear I'm not paranoid. There is something clearly wrong with this woman or is it me?
I turned back around and continued what I was doing. I had almost all of my clothes in the suitcases with only a couple items left.
"We're almost finished Mrs. Han." They had a small talk while I was just ignoring her. I didn't have any interest in talking with her.
After they had their unnecessary conversation, she left my room without saying goodbye. "Is it me?" I asked Jaein curious.
"Usually, I would say you're overreacting or being paranoid. But this time you're right. She came in and didn't even look at you." Even she was shocked at what was going on. "Maybe, it isn't you but menopause. People do weird stuff during that time."
What the fuck is she saying? "I don't think she is in menopause. Let's just continue and get this over with." I was annoyed by how the things in my life were progressing.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
I was laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Jaein left me all alone. I wanted to go with her, but she told me to stay at home because it's my last night here.
I decided to go and see what my dad was doing. I stood in front of his office. I knocked on the door until he let me in.
He showed me a grin and said "Are you ready for your big day tomorrow?" I sat down in front of him and frowned. "Oh, come on. You're acting like it's the end of the world. You're only getting married."
If I hit my head against the wall it be more amusing then talking to my own father. "Only getting married? You must've forgot the part where it's to a complete stranger? I don't love him." I crossed my arms in anger and sat back in my chair.
"What are you talking about? Complete stranger? You met him three days ago. How much more time do you need?" It sincerely amazes me how easy he is marrying me off. I'm his daughter. Shouldn't he as a father be even a little sad because I'm going to leave him. I bet he would be sad if his money left him. "Besides, Bora you know how I feel about scandals. I don't want to make a scene because you aren't in love."
"Yeah, you're the authority on scandals." I whispered out loud to myself, hoping he would still hear. I don't have the guts to say it right in his face. I tilted my head just a bit so I could see him. He was staring down at me ready to explode. He knew exactly what I was talking about.
"Bora, you're going too far." No, I'm not. Is what I wish I could say to him, but he looks kind of scary right now. So, I just kept looking down. "You know better than to bring that up."
Bring it up. As if it's such a huge secret. Well, it is, but everyone in this house knows about it. He is the one to blame for everything that happened. Why does he get to act like it's not his fault? Why am I the one who is being punished for his mistakes? This is unfair.
I must've been some kind of psycho bitch in my past life to deserve this. I stormed out of there and went to my bedroom.
Getting married and leaving this house kept on sounding better and better.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
Today is the big day. I'm getting married. I didn't have to do anything for my wedding. All they told me was to just show up with a wedding dress on. Even Taehyung didn't have to do anything. He did get the rings. I told him to pick which ever one he likes. I didn't care for it.
He said the whole wedding was just for show. It's going to be filled with business partners of our fathers. Around 300 people and I don't know any of them. He also told me we'd have to either greet or have small talk with everyone.
I should practice. I stood in front of my mirror. "Thank you for coming to our wedding... Hello, sir. I'm Han Bora." Wait, my name is going to change. It's going to be Kim. Let me try that again. "Hello, I'm Kim Bora. It's a pleasure to meet you." Doesn't sound half that bad. "Oh, how we met? We met..." Crap, what if people ask me how we met. We'll have to get our story straight. It has to be the same or else people will know something is up.
If his ex-girlfriend is going to come, I need to be on my best. "Hello, yes I'm the bride." She isn't going to ask me if I'm the bride. She'll know. I'm the only one who's going to walk around in a wedding dress. "Yes, indeed I'm an upgrade. It doesn't matter that you might be prettier. I'm... I'm...." Yeah, I have to find something for that too.
*knock knock*
"Yes."
"Bora the men who are going to take your stuff to your new place are here." My mom said and went back to go meet the men.
I was practicing. Pfff, just when I started to get the hang of it. As I opened the door of my bedroom these two men stood in front of me.
I awkwardly smiled and noticed I still had my pajama on. They looked me up and down. One of them gave me a weird smirk/smile type thing. It looked weird. I quickly put my robe on.
They loaded the car with all my stuff. "Mrs. Kim we'll leave know. Everything will be there at Mr. Kim's place." They got in the car and drove off.
For some reason I was blushing when he called me Mrs. Kim. I'm not Mrs. Kim yet, and I wanted to tell him. But I didn't want to make it awkward.
