I stare at my reflection, restraining myself from punching the mirror. Arrangement or not I feel so empty without my mother here. Believe me she's no saint, but I still miss her.

Someone taps on the door and Yunho walks in. He smiles cutely when he sees me.

Yunho: What a beautiful bride.
Me: Thank you.

Today is the day.

I'm walking down the aisle to marry a man who doesn't necessarily hate me anymore but still doesn't quite like me.

What the hell is my life?

Yunho: Security is tight, so there's nothing to worry about.

My dad is the next person who walks in, he has a large and flashy grin.

Dad: Your mother would be so proud. You look amazing honey.
Me: Thanks.

I hate him, I hate this.

Dad: Shall we?

Some people think of their wedding and picture something beautiful. Your closest friends and family waiting to celebrate you marrying the love of your life. Your love standing at the end of the aisle waiting for you, filled with love and adoration for nobody but you.

This is not that.

Seonghwa and I are being forced to do this, people trying to kidnap me or kill me every other day, both sides of our family fooled.

Exhausting.

The music begins and we walk slowly. Everyone stands up letting out "ooos and ahhhs" all except those who knows the truth.

Seonghwa stands there looking...amazing.

His hair is slicked back, his black tuxedo paired with a cute white bow tie. He reaches out his hand and I take it.

The priest begins his wedding spiel while we just stare at each other. He sends me a wink making me smile. Regardless of how I feel about him, I get this sense of security and safeness around him.

"Do you Park Seonghwa take Nia Lee to be your lawfully wedded wife..."

Here we go...

I do.

"Do you Nia Lee take Park Seonghwa to be your lawfully wedded husband..."

I do.

"You may kiss the bride."

Huh? Oh I forgot that happens, while everyone cheers Seonghwa reluctantly leans in. His lips touches mine and I freeze. They're so soft, I kiss him back.

We pull away and look at each other for a second.

Me: We're married.
Seonghwa: Yeah.

No one told me we were leaving for Hong Kong immediately after the wedding. We continue packing in pure silence. I look at the wedding ring, it's very pretty but in a way it isn't mine.

Wooyoung: Don't worry boss, we'll hold it down while you're gone.
Seonghwa: That doesn't sound reassuring coming from you.
San: Enjoy your honey moon.
Mingi: Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

He smirks.

Me: Mingi!
Yeosang: Ignore him, you guys have been through a lot. Treat this as a vacation.

That's easier said then done.

Seonghwa: Text me if anything happens.
San: Nope!

I chuckle.

Yunho: Come on love birds, I'll drive you to the airport.
Me: Yunho!
Yunho: Make the most of it remember?

I look over at Suzy who smiles.

Fine, let's do this.
