《World || P.J.M ✔️》4
Advertisement
It had been the third day I'm staying at Jimin's house. But we still didn't make any conversation. He just treated me like a stranger but the fact is, I'm his future wife. Wow.
He just kept humming when I asked whether he was okay or not. Omg, I can't believe that I'm getting married to a moving statue.
But this time, I can't hold it anymore. It was 6 p.m. and it was time for me to go home. So I wanted to ask him either he wanted to marry me or not.
I drove straightly to his house and I saw his car. That means he was already home. I got out from my car and walked into the house. There, I spotted he was sitting at the living room while playing with his phone.
I made my way towards him and put my handbag beside me. "Uhum " I cleared my throat to make him looked at me. Gladly, he turned his head and had both his eyes glued on me.
"What? " he asked, looking straight at my face. I was a bit nervous when he stared at me like that but I still maintained cool. I welcomed myself by sitting on the couch and looked at him.
He seemed like knowing that I had something to tell him. He straightened his back and repaired his sitting posture. "Tell me what is it " he said after he done reading my reaction.
Before I started my talk, I inhaled a deep breath and said "I want to ask you something. Do you really want to marry me? Because you don't seem like you want to. You're the one who want to start the marriage but you make me look like I was the one that wanted to marry you "
Instead of answering me, he just looked at me with a blank look. It was kind of annoying.
"You just want to ask me that? Seriously? " he asked, trying to make me look dumb. I gritted my teeth, "Stop making fun of me. " I hissed and rolled my eyes.
"Then why you want to marry me? I'm not that interesting " I spoke.
He nodded, "Yeah. I admit that you're not that interesting. Look at your boob, they're not that sexy " he said as his eyes moved lower.
My face heated up when I noticed he was looking at my chest and I covered them with my handbag. "Watch your eyes! " I yelled.
"It's okay, your boob didn't even turn me on. I told you, they're not sexy. " he scoffed as he looked back at his phone. He really make me looked stupid now.

"Then why did you want to marry me? Why you didn't choose another girl who has a big boob like you want?! Why did you choose me?! " I asked in mad, still trying to hide my red face.
"Because I think you're the most easiest girl to handle. You're simple and you seem like you're not a materialistic. And from your face, I can say that you know how to be independent. "
"I don't like girls who love to waste their money on unbeneficial things. I just want a simple girl. And you're the best one " he said. I didn't know that he was complimenting me or insulting. But I can feel that he tried to say that I'm not interesting. Jerk.
"How can? I don't believe you. There must be another reason why you chose me. It's impossible for someone to judge another people by just looking at their pics. You don't even know me and you can't say anything about me " I scoffed, rolling my eyes in annoyance.
He sighed and turned off his phone. Soon, he stood up and went closer to me. I felt his cold aura started to hunt me. He bend his back and set his head beside mine. I just froze.
"Do you really want to know the reason why? " he asked and a smirked crinkled on his face.
"Because you're Kim Aera " he said and walked away.
He wanted to marry me because I am me? Such a nonsense answer.
Days passed and they still didn't make any friendly conversation. It makes Aera feels unwanted and stupid. She realized that she's staying with a cold hearted person.
But she's wondering, is there any love in his heart? Because he didn't seem like he knows what is love.
"Jimin-ah, do you want me to help you with your works? " Aera tried to be nice but as expected, Jimin just ignored her.
"Why are you not talking to me? If you don't like me then that's fine. I can just go back to my parents " she said which finally make Jimin looked at her.
"Your parents are going to Tokyo for your dad's business " he stated. "How can you know about it when I'm not? " she asked, doubting whether she should believe him or not.
"Your mom contacted me this morning. She asked me to take care of you " he answered while typing on the keyboard.
Aera clenched her jaw, "You treat me like a doll. You never show any effort to get close to me. What do you think I am? A doll? " she asked and walked away madly
She started hating the way Jimin treated her. She felt lonely living in his house.

Even Jimin knows that Aera was mad at him, he still did nothing. He just remained silent and stayed in his room.
Aera who was still mad, just sat at the counter while taking a few gulps of water. "I can't believe that he still does nothing when I'm mad " she muttered
While she was busy with her thoughts, Uncle Seon suddenly showed up. "Hye Miss, how's your day? " he asked as he put the plastic bag on the table. Aera didn't want Uncle Seon know that she was mad. So she forced a smile.
"I'm fine, thank you " Aera said.
"Then what's wrong with that smile? It's not the smile you always give me " Uncle Seon commented. That old man is so good at recognizing people.
Aera gave up and decided to just tell Uncle Seon what had happen. "I've been staying here for a week now. And Jimin- he treats me like a stranger meanwhile I'm his future wife. We don't even make any conversation. I can't get what is wrong with him. Why he's so cold hearted? He's making me feels unwanted and desperate " Aera sighed.
Uncle Seon just nodded after hearing Aera's words.
He knows that Aera isn't comfortable with Jimin's cold behavior. But in order to avoid Aera from giving up on Jimin, he decided to tell her the truth. He sat across her and looked into her hazel eyes.
"Do you want to know something, Ms Aera?" Uncle Seon asked as he put both his hands on the counter. Aera turned to him and asked "What is it? "
"You know what's the reasons behind Jimin's cold behavior? " he asked and Aera blinked. He sounded like he had something important to tell.
"From your way and personality, I can tell that you have such a happy and loving family, am I right? " he asked and Aera nodded right away.
"But opposite to Jimin, he grown up in a busy, lonely world. His parents were busy on working and they neglected him. But however, he still earned some love from his mom. "
"So he only depended on his mom. He loves his mom so much. " Uncle Seon as the memories recalled in his head.
"And one day, his mom got sick. It's not a normal decease, his mom suffered from brain cancer " he continued and Aera gasped.
The more he speaks, the more memories came back in his mind. "Then, his mom passed away. He knows, from that moment, he lost everything. He had no one to love him anymore. He tried to be nice with his dad but he just neglected him. He grown up in a pathetic world. He never gets any love after his mom passed away. And his dad never shows his love to his son. He has been locked in this cold world " he said as tears started forming up in his eyes. Even Aera was sad after hearing the story. It was heartbreaking.
No one knows that Uncle Seon has such a soft and pure heart. But now, Aera knows.
"The old him who used to be happy and smile.. Is die now. The Jimin now is a cold hearted person who only know to break people's heart. He distancing himself from other people. He had been living alone in this big house for more than ten years. But I don't know why he suddenly wants you to stay with him. But I'm glad that he finally wants to have someone in his life "
Aera was so focused. But she somehow didn't agree with what Uncle Seon said. In her opinion, she thinks that Jimin wanted to marry her because of his dad. Maybe his dad forced him to get married. He chose her not because he wants her. But because she's the simplest girl to handle.
"I hope you won't blame him for acting like that. He's kind. It's just- he doesn't know how to love " Uncle Seon said as he wiped his tears away.
He sniffed, "I'm sorry for being emotional. Maybe it's because of my ages. Well, old man " he said.
"I think I need to go back to work now. I'm sorry " he said and was about to walk away but Aera stopped him.
Uncle Seon looked at Aera's hand that was on his arm and turned to her. Aera had an expression on her face but Uncle Seon can't read it. He didn't know that she was sad or serious.
"What can I do to get his old self back? " she asked.
Even Jimin never showed any love to her, but she wanted to give it a try. She wanted to find love in a dark soul. For her, every dark soul needs a light and a chance to bright. She's confident that she can help Jimin to know what is love. And she knows she's risking her own heart and her own feelings. But she still wanted to give it a try.
Uncle Seon looked into her eyes and he can see light in her eyes. The light that can lighten up the darkness in Jimin's heart. He held Aera's hands and said "Show him loves and let him know how love tastes like "

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
