I woke up as my phone rang, I tapped on the screen in order to stop the alarm. I yawned and sat up, thinking about that dream I had...no, the NIGHTMARE I had.
me? getting an arranged marriage? my oh my what a bummer it will be. It's impossible, and mom wouldn't do that.
Just as I was about to get out of bed, Jimin busted in my room.
"What's your problem bub?" I said, annoyed
"come down stairs....mom's crying" He replied
My eyebrows met and I immediately went down stairs to see my mom, and yeah she definitely is crying. I sat beside her and hugged her.
"mom what's wrong? what happened?" I asked her as she hugged me back tightly.
"o-our business is going down, I'm afraid we have to shut it down...but how are we going to afford to pay our debts? you and your brother's tuition fees?" she sobbed
"isn't there any other way to pay the debts?" I asked
"there...there is" she replied
"what is it? maybe I can help...I'll do anything"
"no, don't I don't think that will be a good idea Yoonjie, you're still so young"
"so young??? mom, I don't care how old I am, I'll do anything to help" I replied to her "just tell me what it is"
"we can pay our debts....if you...marry the Min's youngest son"
"if I what?!" "m-mom I'm only 17!"
"that's why I declined the offer, because I know how it will turn out. I want you to finish your studies and to have a great life" Mom said "I only want what's best for you and your brother"
"I want us to have a great life too mom..." I replied and sighed "I'll do it"
"you don't have to! I don't want you to be a part of this Yoonjie"
"But I am part of this mom, this is a family problem. And we're family..." I looked at her and smiled "Don't worry mom, everything will be okay soon"
