WARNING:  An Emotional Chapter but not the most emotional one that I'll make. 

Jaerin forgot about the happenings with the festival and proceeded to just continuing the endless cycle of going to school. She heard squeals coming from different directions and followed to where they were heading to. They were all gathered arond the news stand of the school's publishing club. There were all reading the front page which made other girls whine and other girls happy. Jaerin looked down on the last newspaper and her eyes widened at the headline.

LU FAMILY & MENG FAMILY TO WED THEIR ELDEST OFFSPRINGS. 

Jaerin had her eyes on the picture of Luhan and a girl with long black hair.

"What's the point, Sehun? It's obvious that he doesn't want me." 

"Isn't it a fixed marriage, though?" Sehun raised an eyebrow.

"Sehun... You don't understand." Jaerin looked up at him. "Fighting against arranged marriages and actually having a good outcome from it only happens in dramas and fairytales...this is real life." Jaerin's hands were trembling.
