Roommates

27.

Hyunjin hadn't been the same since he woke up with nobody beside him. He hadn't been talking much and he stopped caring. The only thing he did know was work. He didn't talk to his friends anymore, he didn't party, he didn't go out, he just worked.

"Hyunjin hun, come sit with us downstairs we'd like to speak to you."
Hyunjins mother left his room, he closed his laptop and got up from his desk.

His parents were in the living room sitting on the couch. He took a seat across from them. "Son, we want to ask a question. We need you to do something for us. For the company."

Hyunjin nodded, "What is it?"

"We want to join our company, with another. Through marriage. Before you say no we-" Hyunjin interrupted his father, "I'll do it." He simply said.

"We'll meet them tonight for dinner, so please freshen up for us." Hyunjin stood up, "thank you son." He nodded and left back to his room.

He layed on his bed, looking at his ceiling. Nothing mattered anymore, he chuckled to himself. If his parents had asked him this a couple of days he'd yell at them and argue with them. Telling them he wanted to marry Lee Felix. Lee Felix. He needed to stop thinking about him. He was gone now, and probably would never be back.

After a couple of minutes Hyunjin got into the shower, afterwards he changed into a nice suit.

"Hyunjin!" His sister yelled. He went down the stairs and saw another family. "Hyunjin this is Rosé, your fiancé."

Hyunjin greeted her with a smile and she smiled back at him. He shook hands with her father and kissed her mother's hand. "Dinner is ready let's eat."

Hyunjin pulled the chair out for Rosé and sat her down. Than he sat down beside her. "Hyunjin you're such a gentleman. We are happy for you to be our son in law. Right Rosé?"

She faked a smile, "very."

They started to eat, Hyunjin wasn't really hungry but he didn't want to be rude. After everyone was finished they talked business. "Hyunjin why don't you take Rosé up to your room."

"I don-"

"That's a great idea, you two head off." Hyunjin gritted his teeth and led the way with her following behind.

He opened the door to his room. She walked in behind him and quickly shut the door behind her.

"Look I just want you to know that I do not in anyway want to be married to you. Nothing personal of course."

"Trust me, I feel the same."

"I hate all of this." She slid down the door to the ground. Tears spilled from her eyes, hyunjin was very confused. Was he that horrible?

"Um....are you okay. I know I'm nothing special but am I that bad?"

She let out a soft laugh, "it's not you. Well it is, but it isn't your fault."

"Want to talk about it?" He sat down beside her on the ground.

She looked to her side, he had a soft smile. He was comforting to be around. "Well since I'll be spending a lot of time with you why not." Hyunjin looked at her waiting for her to continue.

"I-, uhm.....I have a girlfriend. I had to tell her about our marriage and she freaked out. She wasn't very happy about it. So we broke up." The last part left her mouth in almost a whisper but Hyunjin heard it.

His heart ached for her. "I know what it's like to lose someone you love." He smiled at the thought of Felix but the smile quickly faded.

"Same situation?" She questioned.

"No....he left in the middle of the night. Told my friend to not worry about him. No note, nothing. He just left."

She moved closer to him and awkwardly wrapper her arm around him, he chuckled at the gesture. "Sorry about that, I'm sure he had a good reason."

He thanked her, they sat there telling stories making each other more comfortable. "We should probably go back down there."

The two walked downstairs to the large living room where their parents spoke. "Ah Hyunjin, we have planned your wedding. It is soon, this Friday."

He was shocked, he thought he would have more time. At least the girl he was going to marry was cool and understanding. He bowed to the other family as they left.

"Thank you Hyun, we really do appreciate what you do for this family."

He gave them both hugs before walking back into his room, back to working.
