accidentally married to you // nct jaehyun (nct series #1)

chapter four

bago pa man magising ang mga girls sa afternoon nap nila ay kaagad-agad na akong naghanda para sa pagkikita namin ng pd ng wgm. i don't know if i should wear 'yung parang business clothes or ewan but i just decided to go for a more casual yet still preppy look - an off-the-shoulder (the one with huge holes?) blouse and a black mini skirt. kumuha na lang ako ng velvet black ankle boots, kinuha ang bag ko, at pumunta sa meeting place namin. 

the meeting place is a café, since pang-meryenda lang naman ito. to avoid the public eye, nagpareserve ang pd ng isang vip room sa second floor ng café. dumiretso ako sa stairs pero mayroong guard na nagbabantay roon. this is a pretty strict café.

"name?" the guard's deep, monotonous voice sent chills to my spine. he looks like he could kill anyone any moment and still get away with it. 

"hi, uhm, i'm alyssa jo, the pd of--"

"wgm. yes, i know," tila galit nitong sabi. "room no. 2. here's your pass," may ibinigay siya sa 'king parang credit card pero verification bars lang ang meron doon. i just shrugged at umakyat papunta sa room 2. 

i learned the purpose of the pass in a hard way. first off, i started pushing the door and it sent some kind of mild electric shock. i tried pulling it, another electric shock. sliding it and yet another. napansin ko lang na mayroong maliit na scanner sa side and i accidentally pressed my passed on it, making it scan the bar. 'yun lang ang oras na bumukas 'yung glass door. i sighed in relief. 

"are you okay?" narinig kong tanong ng pd as i went inside. "we heard the shocks."

tumawa ako. "'di ko po kasi napansin 'yung scanner, so..."

"umupo ka," he offered. umupo ako sa harap niya. he's with the other pds too, pero siya 'yung main pd. "jaehyun's not here yet."

"i'm here," we heard as the glass door opened again. tumingin kami sa banda ng glass door at nakita namin si jaehyun. tumayo kami at bumati, bumati rin siya tiyaka siya umupo sa tabi ko. 

"okay," the pd clasped his hands together. "why don't we order something first? wala naman kayong sched 'di ba?"

umiling kaming dalawa ni jaehyun and we reached for the menu on the table. i decided na mag-order na lang ng nutella donut and a vanilla and oreo cream. after na kinuha nila ang orders namin ay umubo ang pd. 

"okay ka lang po?" sabay naming tanong ni jaehyun. 

"yes, yes," he smiled. "ang cute niyo namang dalawa, bagay na bagay talaga kayo."

i smiled awkwardly. why does he have to say this?

"uh, may we know the reason why we're called here? without telling our agencies?" straightforward na tanong ni jaehyun. that's the time na nagseryoso ang atmosphere. yes, what's the real reason?

"okay... where should i start?" tanong ng pd sa ibang staff. 

"sa simula," sagot ng isang female pd at tumango naman siya. 

"okay. since you both were so set into holding your wedding at that church, we decided to push our limits as far as we can to have your fake wedding there. pero ni-require ng church ng marriage contract or certification kaya nagpagawa kami, pero m-in-emo namin na hindi 'yun official. then... before we knew it, it was sealed."

"and...?" tanong ni jaehyun, obviously rushing the pd to get to the point. 

"sorry, but we accidentally gave you a real marriage contract," the female pd said. 

ten words. it only took ten words to give me different feelings and to mess with my mind. what should i feel? i'm definitely in shock, but should i be excited because i'm literally married to someone i like? should i be angry because, from the very beginning, it wasn't my decision to join a virtual marriage program and now i got married literally without my consent? should i be anxious because i'm married to him? or because i know that he's dating someone else, and be afraid of how he'll treat me or be afraid of his girlfriend?

i never would have thought that ten words could change my life overnight.
