The cold winter breeze made me shake a little bit..
I was sitting on a bench in the park.. I blew onto my hands to warm it up before putting it back in my pocket..
"Ara.." Someone called out for me.. I turned around.. but his face was blurry.. I couldnt see properly who it was
He was panting... Was he running here?
"Why did you call me?" I asked.. I stood up from the bench and approached him... he walked towards me as well..
We both looked at eachother for a second.. Then he placed his cold hands against my cheeks- cupping them
And his face grew closer to mine.. and our lips touched..
And warm tears fell onto my cheeks..
"Sweet heart... Wake up.." Something shook me lightly..
I opened my eyes.. and there I saw eomma
It was just a dream..
"Eomma?" I called out to her.. her face was filled with delight mixed with concern.. her expression is just confusing
My face felt wet.. so I wiped it away..
I was.. crying? Why?
"Ara.. Please dress up.. We're leaving for dinner"
"Hmm? Wae?" We're going out for dinner? Thats new.. we dont usually do this
"Ara.. Youre father must speak to his friend about your condition.."
"Bwo? Wae?" Then why am I coming along?
"So he can find a cure for you.."
I... Im not quite getting what she means
But I just shrugged my shoulders and changed anyways..
Find a cure for me? I thought I was incurable?
I dressed in a dress.. My mom said it should be appropriate for a fancy dinner...
Although.. I really dont want to expose my face.. Maybe I should give it a try for once
It shouldnt hurt... Right?
°°°♡°°°
"You look very lovely, dear.." My mom smiled at me as I went down the stairs
"Thank you Eomma.. I just dug this dress out from my wardrobe.."
As much as I hated mini dresses.. I wanted to be a bit fancy for today..

My hair was just down.. I didnt bother to style it
Although, why fancy restaurant? Maybe the doctor we're meeting is very well known or whatever..
As long as I can eat food.. I think its ok
"Your Appa should be here any minute now.. Apparently youre a very important puzzle piece to this arrangement"
What did she mean by.. Puzzle piece?
I didnt bother asking..
°°°♡°°°
My dad came to pick us up.. and now we're here.. infront of..
An italian restaurant? Cena Tabella?
The hell is that? Never heard of it
"The person we're all meeting today is my friend from highschool. He is now one of the good doctors. I contacted him and he said that he might be able to help. But something is very crucial here. We made an arrangement."
My dad said out of no where as we closed the car doors.. could he read my mind? How did he know Im a confused nugget?
And... what arrangement?
Nervousness overwhelmed me as we slowly walked inside..
"Do you have reservations?" The receptionist approached us..
Somehow.. I felt very uneasy.. my stomach was turning.. I felt sick..
"Visitors for Table 44" My dad stated..
"Right this way sir." The receptionist lead us to the table.. I kept my head down.. Although my mom said I looked better... I still feel insecure.. I rarely show my face to the world now..
But my mom said I gotta put my hood down.. even if its just for today..
My parents stopped walking so I did too.. I raised my face to see who we're meeting..
My eyes widened...
No...
Kim Taehyung
"Eat up my sweet boy.." My grandma kept putting calamari on my plate..
"You have to be chubby"
I just nodded.. I stuffed my face... this italian restaurant is really good.... They make such good food.. although.. Why am I here?
Appa said I need to be here for "business"... and apparently its important..
"Ah they're here" I looked up once my mom stood up from her chair..
I looked up...
Why is she here? Whats going on!?
"Shes so lovely isnt she?" My grandma leaned over to whisper
Min Ara
I want to run.. Let me go.. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
SOMEONE EXPLAIN
We both stared at eachother.. and his face was stuffed with food.. it was ado-
NO!
"This is my daughter, Ara" My dad introduced me as he pointed me to a seat.. INFRONT OF HIM.. OUT OF ALL THE DAMN CHAIRS! WHY HERE!?
Being shooketh.. I just sat down not taking my eyes off him
He then just swallowed his food
"As you may know.. My daughter is beyond sick." I felt my mom look at me as she spoke
"My husband here has talked to you about it, yes?"
I looked away from Taehyung
And focused on the doctor He nodded and looked at me with a slight smile
"We must come to an agreement that your company will support my hospital." The man said
I looked at the old woman beside Taehyung and she smiled at me tenderly
"But in order for this to work, we, as parents have talked about arranging our children together."
Once I heard that.. I slammed my hand on the table and shouted "WHAT!?"
I wasnt alone though. Taehyung did too..
"Children, this is what must be done if you want her to stay alive.." My jaw dropped at what my father said..
I couldnt believe it.. my life is being sold away..
I had to excuse my self outta there.. the atmosphere suffocated me
Why did no one tell me!? What is this!? They shouldve just let me died in that hospital bed..
I dont even know the guy and yet theyre making me.. WHAT!? MARRY HIM!?
