Yuna's

Once, Ryujin eonni left. I quickly looked at my parents, waiting for their answers. I know, there are tears that are threatening to fall, but I don't care. I just want all the answers I can get from them.

They, told Ryujin eonni, but not me? She's not the one who's going to get married, and yet she's the one who knows about it?!

Honestly, what did I do so wrong? All my life, I've been following all the rules and their orders. That, I've completely forgotten my own life. I've done so many things for them. How about me? I know my parents, but what they did, is just so inhumane!

I was looking at them; they were both just standing like somebody just went by and left. We'll, somebody did, and it's Ryujin eonni.

I know that they can make up lies, and tell me that I can just live with it just for a couple of years. But, that is something that I don't want to experience ever. Being tied up; with somebody you don't even know and love.

I said, to gain her attention.

They looked at me, worriedly. Then, looked at each other, as if they're asking for some kind of permission or something. I looked at them, in disbelief. Although, they haven't actually spoken yet, I can already tell that what Ryujin eonni said earlier, was slowly coming true.

I asked Mother once again, just for her attention, in hopes that they'll tell me.

She said, denying the fact of what Ryujin eonni said earlier today.

I said, exclaiming at them. They both looked, taken a back, with what I just did.

She started, and took a little glance at Father. Before, taking a really deep sigh.

She said, while still looking at Father, before looking at me.

I asked her.

Mother said, as my world suddenly shattered into pieces. As she looked towards his direction, which also made me look at him.

I was at lost for words, 'Did they just confirm... What Ryujin eonni just said earlier?' I asked myself.

I protested at them.

Mother said to me.

I heard Father say to me.

I said, as I picked up my gown.

Father protested to me.

I exclaimed back at him.

Father exclaimed which took me back.

'He's dead?' I thought, and tried to deny it.

'No! He's not yet dead! He can't be dead!' I thought.

Mother said.

King Jungkook said, cutting in between our conversation.

Father said.

Mother asked, while gasping. To which, King Jungkook and Father, just nodded at.

Mother exclaimed, obviously angered.

'Jeongin's gone... I just can't believe it...' I thought. If, there's nothing that can change the fact that I was arranged into a marriage that, I obviously don't want to be in. Neither, does the Prince involved in it. I quickly cut in their little 'conversation'. Which, is rude I know, but I am literally begging for it.

I said, cutting into their conversation.

I said, and pointed at Prince Kai. Who was just watching our little drama here?

King Jungkook said, while crossing his arms.

I shouted at them, and ran away from all of them.

I ran away towards my bedroom, but due to my stupid gown, I can't run as fast as without it. But, I can also feel that somebody was following me, but I don't mind it. Since, it might as well be Mel eonni.

I heard Prince Kai shout, while I was running away.

After, he shouted that I suddenly wanted to go and burst my emotions out. And the only way I can do that is when, I'm alone.

I said to Mel eonni. Which, she quickly obeyed, and left me alone.

After, that I went away without anybody following me from behind.
