"Aerin" Wonmin slurred out stumbling towards his daughter

The Girl just looked at the man, with her dark, emotionless eyes.

"Who do you think you are? Huh? Do you think you're a big shot? " Wonmin walked closer to the girl

The girl just stood there, not moving a finger. It was something usual for her. To get tortured and beaten up by her alcoholic dad. He was never once a proper dad for her. Not even once.

"Where's my drink? I ASKED WHERE'S MY DRINK? DID YOU POUR IT? " The man slapped across her cheek

The girl pushed the man away, him resulting in falling on the table as she went to her room, shutting it loud.

The girl slid down, resting her back on the wall. She started to cry her heart out.
She screamed pulling her hair, hurting her scalp very badly.

"Aerin, why, why can't you just die? Why do I have to live this miserably? Every day? " Aerin cried, with tears rolling down her cheeks continuously, she looked at her wrists, with several scars on her wrist

°

Aerin walked out of her room, towards the main door, to get to college.

"Eat breakfast and leave" Miso, Aerin's mom said

"I'm fine, I'll get going" Aerin replied

"If you're like this, you'll fall sick , get weak and no one will marry you" Miso advised, as usual

I'm already weak, I'm barely able to make it through the day.

"What do you mean? Don't bring that shit up again. Didn't I say I'm not interested in marrying your brother's son? You're just using me for money. What if they're rich? Why should I marry him? Someone I don't know? " Aerin yelled

"I'm your mom! I know what's good for you and what's not. You have to marry him. For the sake of our family" Miso shouted

"Weren't you already satisfied controlling my life all these years? I was supposed to wear what you told, eat what you told, do what you told me to! I even took the course you forced me to take! Do I seem like I'm enjoying learning computer science? " Aerin yelled back

Miso pulled her daughter by her hair, hitting her several times, " You're supposed to do what I tell you to! I gave birth to you "

Aerin pushed her mom away, " Just fucking leave me alone "

" Were you guys there for me emotionally as parents? Ever? My dad's an alcoholic who abuses me and my mum is such a toxic hypocrite! Y'all never did anything for me. I did things for myself, I have experienced nothing but pain here! " Aerin questioned her mom, hoping she'd understand how hurt she is, because of her parents

"You're supposed to meet up with Jihoon after class. He's picking you up" Miso informed

"For what joy? " Aerin asked back

"He's picking your wedding dress. Isn't your marriage just a week away? " Miso asked

Aerin went quiet, of course, she knew she can't do anything against. She has no where to go and has no money. All the money she earns in her part time gets taken away by her alcoholic father and her mother. Her mom needs to run the family and for daily bread, she takes the hard-earned money by Aerin. The poor girl still gets treated bad.

She is now a hopeless girl, her dreams were gonna crash down soon and She's gonna live this life ruled by her mom till her last breath.

Aerin stormed out of the house, walking to her college.


As soon as her classes were over, her phone received a notification.

She looked at the screen, which was broken with a lot of cracks. The phone was barely functioning.

Jihoon
Baby, I'm here waiting for you :)

Seen.

The girl walked out of her class, towards the car park. Jihoon, her fiance, smiled waving at her. Aerin sighed, she got into the car as the boy bombarded her with questions.

"How was your class baby? "

"Fine"

"Did you have fun? "

When did I even experience having fun?

"Yeah it was fun"

" What would you like to eat? " Jihoon asked starting the car

"I'm not hungry, I'm fine" Aerin replied

Jihoon nodded as he drove to the Wedding Dress Store.

Aerin was tired, she didn't feel like dealing with this shit right now. She was exhausted, dealing with her alcoholic dad all evening and dealing with her toxic mom the rest of the day with her part time jobs.

The girl dozed off in the car ride.

"Hey wake up, we're here" Jihoon woke the girl up

The girl was confused at first, then regained her composure, " Oh, Yeah right "

There were several pretty dresses, and all of them looked beautiful on Aerin. The girl was standing there, with a bored look on her face as it was obvious she wasn't interested.

" I think this one looks pretty on you! Let's get this! " Jihoon decided on what she has to wear on her wedding day

"You like it too, don't you baby? " Jihoon smiled at the girl

I don't even get to decide what to do with life, is anything going to change if I said I don't like this dress?

Aerin boringly nodded , " Yeah I love it"

Aerin boringly nodded , " Yeah I love it"
