CHAPTER TWELVE – Strange Feeling

(Jieun’s POV)

“Wedding dress?!” I spoke, widened my eyes. Just imagined that I and him wore a wedding dress together, even made me wanted to laugh hard. “I come home!” He shouted, and smiled widely to us. Hey! Why does he look so happy from that ‘Suzy’s house?

“You both have to fit the wedding dress, so get ready yourselves.” Jiyoung-oppa repeated his words, as we both nodded and got everything ready. After that, we went to the shop that our parents asked us to. In there, I could see them have waited us. “We have to pretend again.” He whispered, as I nodded and gulped.

“Hello, Jieunnie!” Mrs. Jang hugged me tightly as Wooyoung pouted. “Your son is in right here, eomma!” He spoke, made us laughed. “Wooyoung-ah.” My mom hugged him, as he sticked his tongue to me, and I did the same. “Aigoo! You both will marry in less than two days, so don’t be a childish kid anymore.” My dad said, as they all laughed. “It’s okay, Jihyun-ah. They’re still a kid, right?” Mr. Jang spoke to my dad, as they laughed again.

“We has prepared a very good wedding dress for you. Just try it.” Mom said, as we looked each other and gulped. We both nodded and took the clothes, then went to the changing room. I widened my eyes when stared at the white simple dress  that I would wear. This is indeed very beautiful, but I still couldn’t imagine that I and Wooyoung have to wear this on the wedding that fast. I’m still eighteen; and so does him!

After done, I went out from the changing room, just to see Wooyoung who is standing in front of the changing room, with his white suit. He seemed realize that I’m already done, as he turned his head to see me. When our gaze met, the world seemed stop rotating, as we froze in our place.

He’s so different with his white suit, made him looked more—handsome? I don’t know either. My heartbeat got faster and faster in every second, made me couldn’t even breath properly. My legs turned to be a jelly in a second. What happen to you, Lee Jieun?!

(Wooyoung’s POV)

I walked off from the changing room, mumbled at how hot I felt when wearing this suit. Suddenly, I heard a steps-sound, as I turned around and DEG! Jieun is standing there with her white dress, seeing me with her brown eyes. I couldn’t help but looked at her too, which made our gaze met.

The heartbeat in my heart started to get complicated, as I couldn’t feel my own legs. With no reason, I started to feel hotter than before. She’s so—beautiful in that dress.

We kept staring each other, until I could feel a crash on my head. And that crash made me came back to the reality world, as I blinked a few times. “Eomma?!” I spoke, my own head. “Don’t stare her like that. You seem like a tiger that seeing the meat, you know.” My mom said, as Jieun laughed and I only could pouted. “You too, Jieun-ah!” Mrs. Lee said, made me turned to laugh as she turned to pout.

“Wow! You both are really a good couple!”

They commented, as we couldn’t help but blushed again. “Now, let’s change your clothes back. We will buy that dresses. Then, let’s go to other place.” Mr. Lee spoke, as we raised our eyebrows. “Place? Where?” Jieun asked, as I nodded. “You will know later.” My dad answered, made us pouted again.

“Where’s Jiyoung by the way?” Mrs. Lee asked, seemed puzzled. “He wants to play with his friends.” Jieun answered shortly, seemed still wondered about where we’ll go. After changed our clothes back, we went to the car and moved to the place that me and Jieun didn't know at all.

“A villa?” I widened my eyes and stared at our parents. “You two have to live here until the wedding day. This is for your goodness, so you both can strengthen your relationship. Okay? Bye and have fun!” They gave us our suitcases, as they started to move. “Eomma! Appa!” We chased their car, but it’s not giving any impact. “Ahhh, this is crazy!” I mumbled, kicked the can in front of me.

Then I realized if my legs still hurt, as I groaned in pain. “Yah, are you okay?” Jieun asked me with her worry-face. This is the expression I’d never seen, and now I could see that perfectly, made me gulped. “Y-yes, I’m okay.” I answered, took a few suitcases and entered the villa.

(Jieun’s POV)

After our parents gone, I sighed at how annoyed I am. I could see that Wooyoung kicked the can and then he groaned in pain, made me shocked and asked him if he’s okay. But he answered me with a stutter, made me frowned. He lifted a few suitcases and it’s including mine. “No need. I can lift my suitcases by myself.”

“It’s okay. I’m the man here.” He answered, went to the villa. The situation right here is actually very good. The trees made the villa looked lush and cold. In the villa, the decoration is arranged beautifully, made me cozy. I decided to look around the villa, until I heard his foot-steps. “This villa is indeed big, but the villa only have one room!”

I widened my eyes, and looked at him, who also looked at me.

“Don’t worry. I’ll sleep in the living room.” He spoke himself, made me chuckled. “Good if you know it.” I mumbled, but he could hear it well. “Yahh! How can you do that to me? Then, I’ll sleep with you in the room.” He said, sticked his tongue. “Don’t even dare to do that, because if you do that, I’ll—”

“You’ll what?” He asked, slowly approached me while smirking. “Yahh, Jang Wooyoung! What do you want to do?!” I said, started moving to the back. “We’re alone, Jieunnie.” He continued, still walked to me. I gulped, kept moving to the back. “Jang Wooyoung!” I shouted, until my back touched the cold wall, made me gulped once again.

He smirked and let his head approached mine. Saw his face from this distance, made me dizzy with no reason. The heartbeat started get faster and faster. Like the exact situation that happened in the wedding shop just now. I wanted to speak something, but the words couldn’t come out from my lips.

When his head got closer again, accidentaly I closed my eyes. Even I couldn’t control my own action right now, as he laughed hard. Made me opened my eyes and frowned, still couldn’t understand. “Why did you close your eyes, Lee Jieun? Do you think that I want to kiss you?”

I widened my eyes, blushed madly. “Yah, Jang Wooyoung! Stop laughing!” I yelled at him, then ran off to the room and locked it. Then I leaned my body to the door, hugged my knees and cried. I myself didn’t know what happen to me. The feeling in my heart got mixed and I couldn’t describe it anymore. I knew that he’s not wrong at all, but my heart felt hurt with no reason.

“Jieun-ah! Open it, please!” He knocked the door, but it’s not helped at all. I still cried and cried, couldn’t control my own feeling. “Jieun-ah, I’m sorry. Really! I don’t mind to do it.” He continued, made my heart felt hurt once more.
