Chapter 43

The Arranged Marriage.

Kai’s POV

Wow.

I mean wow.

I didn’t think that this class could get any more boring, but I was wrong.

Like, I want to die right now.

That’s how boring it is.

And don’t think of me as irresponsible for not taking university seriously.

It was all for publicity.

My parents thought of it best that I go to university so it wouldn’t look bad to the public. However I was going to inherit my fathers company, so there’s no point in me getting a degree or anything as it’ll be unnecessary.

But like I said, they thought I’d look good, so I chose the easy option of languages.

Besides me there was a light snore.

I turned to see Jiyoon wrapped up in her jumper with her eyes closed, fast asleep. Her head flopped to the side and landed gently on my shoulder.

I couldn’t help but smile.

Cute.

As I moved a piece of hair from her fac, a pang of emotion hit my chest.

They looked so alike. It was almost as if I was staring at Victoria instead of Jiyoon-ah.

Guilt chewed away at my chets and I quickly looked away, but the feeling wouldn’t go away.

Tomorrow was my birthday and I had blew Jessica off for Victoria.

Exactly why?

What was I thinking?

Jessica was more important than Victoria, right?
Victoria was someone from my past who I had tried hard to forget over the past year. She was someone who had come close to ruining everything I had.

She had already destroyed my friendship to Sehun, what else did she want?

But for some reason, like a spellbound prisoner, I couldn’t tell her no.

Perhaps because there was still something left?

Half an hour later the torture hour had finally ended.

I gently nudged Jiyoon off of my shoulder.

At the movement she opened her eyes, looking around with confusion and irritancy.

For some reason I loved that moody look of hers. She always tried to seem tougher than she was.

“Is it the end?” she asked me, yawning.

“To what?” I stood up, picking up both our bags as she put on her coat.

“Torture” she answered.

I laughed at her comment. “Aigoo” I shook her hair whilst laughing.

She batted my hands away, attempting a cold glare but failing and laughing along.

When we exited the building I took her hand and led her to my car.

“Come on” I told her.

She looked at me in confusion, pouting. “Where?”

I gave her a cheeky smile, opening my car door. 

“Just around town”

“Why?” she asked suspiciously.

“Because I won’t be able to spend tomorrow with you, so we’ll do it today instead. Why, you don’t want to?” I asked, pouting.

The suspicion cleared from her face and she smiled eagerly. “Yah, of course I do. But…where are you going tomorrow again?” she asked.

Another pang of guilt.

I tried to keep my expression clear. “My dad’s in the hospital again so I’m spending the day with him” I lied.

It came out smoother than I thought it would, which kind of disturbed me.

I didn’t like lying to her.

She frowned guiltily before flashing a wide smile, clearly trying to lighten up the mood.

“Well then, let’s go! What are you standing around like a fool for?” she said, smirking as she got into the car.

We ended up at the ice cream parlour, which didn’t seem to make sense as the weather was cold but oh well.

Jessica went to find an empty table whilst I placed the orders, knowing her preference of by heart. Min ice cream with extra chocolate chips and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

“Here we are” I said, sliding her the tub of ice cream.

She took it eagerly and scooped out a large spoonful, shoving it in .

I laughed at her innocent expression. “What?” she asked in confusion.

Leaning over the table slightly I grabbed a napkin and wiped off the excess ince cream from her top lip.

She seemed surprised as I felt her stiffen under my touch. For some reason it made me smirk.

When I pulled away her cheeks were almost crimson from blush. I pretended not to notice.

She looked away to hide her embarrasment.

“Look’s like I really can’t eat properly” she mumbled, looking out of the window awkwardly.

I chuckled at her innocence before tucking into my own tub of ice cream.

An hour later and we were sat by the lake. The sun was setting, the sky turning dull with a pink glow.
Jiyoon yawned, resting her head on my shoulder as she waved her hand in the breeze, making patterns in the air.

She used to do that when she was little too, and I would have to guess what she was drawing. If I failed I’d have to do a chore for her. If I won however, she owed me a kiss. Just a peck as we were only kids.

The memoriy made me smile and a sudden idea came to mind.

“Yah, do want to play a game?” I asked.

She looke at me with slightly tired but eager eyes. “What game?”

“The game w played when we were little” I briefly explained. Her eyes lit up with recognition.

“The drawing one?” she asked.

I nodded.

She smiled. “Okay!” she gave me a thumbs up.

I laughed, but suddenly pointed to her sternly. “All rules the same though!”

She nodded, sitting up straighter with an eager glimmer in her eyes.

For a second she paused, bioting her lip as she thought of something to draw.

“Got it! Right, you ready?” she asked.

I nodded, watching her finger carefully as she traced the image into the thin air.

“A tree?” I guessed.

She scoffed. “No, a giraffe.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Yah, how am I supposed to guess when your drawings so bad?”

She whacked my arm, glaring at me. 

“You owe me a chore now” she chided.

I sighed, rolling my eyes. “Fine. Go again.”

She thought for another second before taing to her imaginary canvas again, painting with her finger.

I had to think for a second before I came up with a guess, not wanting to owe her another chore. “Two people…” I murmured. She looked at me with correction. “…us? As kids?” I guessed.

A shadow fell over her face and she gave me a glare, lightly punching my ribs in stubborness.

I laughed, ruffling her hair. “Guess I’m right” I concluded.

She didn’t answer me but gave one stern nod of her head.

I laughed again before the air went silent, the wind disappearing and the earth suddenly getting warmer.

The blood rushed to my cheeks when I said, “guess you owe me then.”

She turned to looked at me with curious but surprised eyes.

I don’t know where I got the confidence from, but seizing the opportunity I lightly grabbed hold oif her chin, her bones delicate in my grip, and kissed her.

It wouldn’t seem like something big to anyone else, but to me it was as if sparks were set alight.

Blood pounded through my ears and my heart lurched.

Though it was only a few seconds, it seemed to last an eternity. When I pulled away Jiyoon-ah was staring at me with wide eyes, her cheeks rose red as she tried to mumble for the words to say.
