Soul Exchange

3. Second Meeting

Jiyeon's POV

"I have to go.."

"No, please.. Don't go.. Don't leave me alone, Sungyoon .."

"No, Jiyeon ! You have to marry someone else. Not with me."

"But I don't want to be apart with you.. Please don't go .."

Sungyoon kept quiet, until a moment later he just walked away from me. I wasn’t just standing still. I grabbed his arm and hugged him tightly.

"Please don't go .."

But I never thought that he let go of his arm from my embrace, then went back away from me.

"Sungyoon.. Don't go.. Don't leave me! Sungyoon!!"

At the same time, I opened my eyelids slowly. I realize that I’m in a place that is familiar to me.

Wait. What happened? Why am I in my room? Didn't I run away from home last night?

I paused for a moment, still lying on my bed as I stared at the ceiling of my room.

I remember my dream just now. Sungyoon abandoned me.

Then, the damn arranged marriage filled my head again. My heart hurts again and it’s too pain to remember. Until without realizing that both my cheeks are wet again with my tears.

Will my love story just end up like this?

I slowly got up from my supple position to a sitting position while hugging my knees. My head felt dizzy. Maybe the result of drinking last night.

Ah, that's right. I remember last night I went out drinking outside, so why am I here now? Did someone take me home? But who?

Ugh, my head is painful so bad. Well, it was my first time drinking alcohol. Actually I was just trying to get rid of the stress in my head. But it turned out that the result is just like this. I’m a bit regret for that.

I took a deep breath slowly. Returned to imagining the moments I was with Sungyoon. When we was laughing together, messing around together and even crying together.

Is it true that all this will end just like this?

Drrt .. Drrt ..

For a moment, I woke up from my daydream. I turned my head towards the nightstand beside my bed. My phone. I was momentarily stunned. Not because saw my phone, but an object that was next to it. It's a coat.

My forehead frowned.

Whose coat is that? Why is it here? Was it someone who brought me home last night and lent me his coat? I really can't remember what happened to me last night.

I grabbed my phone from its place. Message from Lee Jieun, one of my best friend.

Oi, you awake? Are you okay?>

Oh, does this mean she knows what happened to me? It is unusual for her to send messages this early just to ask me how I was.

I wrote a reply message.

I sneered a little reading it.

Hm, a guy? So, last night there was a man who helped me? How can I not remember at all? Maybe he did something nonsense to me when I was drunk.

Ah! No! That’s no way! I'm sure I'm still pure.

And come to think of it he's probably a good guy. Otherwise, how could he lend me his coat? This beautiful coat, it must be very expensive. Is he a rich man?

Tsk! Who cares? My head is already so dizzy, I don't want to drain my brain just thinking about trivial things like that.

Jungkook's POV

"Jungkook, will you have free time later? Shall we take a walk?"

"Jungkook .. Where have you been? I miss you so much, Baby.."

"Kyaa Oppa.. You are so handsome .. Please marry me, Oppa.."

I just smiled in response to every girl I met on campus.

Well, I rarely went to college. It's nothing new that most of the girls I meet on campus got excited when they see me.

What's the point of going to college, when all my needs have been met, even more than enough. Yeah, this is my real world. There is nothing that Jeon Jungkook can't get.

But, ah .. Again, I remembered that damn arranged marriage. Tsk, if only Dad didn't threaten to do something I've been afraid of all my life, I wouldn't be able to do what he wanted.

Okay, I actually can make my own money by working at Dad's company. But for what? I had absolutely no interest in business in the company. Just make headaches. That's why I prefer to obey my father's wishes as long as I still have my credit card.

I continued walking down the corridor to go to my locker. I didn't pay attention to those amazed gazes of the girls I passed. My gaze remained straight ahead with my two hands that I put in both pockets of my pants.

I feel like a star on this campus. Everyone really cares for me. Am I really that handsome?

I was still walking like that until a few seconds later, my steps were stopped by something, ahh no .. Not something but someone. A girl walking opposite me. Her long brown hair slightly covered her face.

I stunned for a moment. Seem I've seen that girl before. I kept thinking until the next second I remember that she was the girl who was drunk last night.

Wait. So, she also went to college here? Wow, this is really an unexpected coincidence.
