Rented Bride

Marriage Contract With The Walking

 

''Hey Junhyung! Why don't you take your wife to a honeymoon huh?'' Rina scolded her brother at the breakfast table. ''Cheap '' She muttered.

''Hey!'' Junhyung shot her a glare. He then slowly looked at Sooyun who was drinking her tea beside him. They were back together and for this time real. No games and no lies anymore. He smiled and held her hand underneath the table. She belonged to him now.

''Actually, she's right. Why don't we go somewhere? Just the two of us.'' He smiled at her. ''There's no need Junhyung.'' Sooyun smiled back. Junhyung loved this side of her. She never wanted something, never nagged him about things and never complained. His past girlfriends was a pain in the . They always but always thought about themselves first but Sooyun was different. And this time he wanted to take her somewhere, he wanted to buy things for her and he wanted to spoil her.

He squeezed her hand and pecked her cheek. ''We're going to honeymoon Sooyun. Time to pack maybe, huh?'' He smiled at her.

''OMG! Let me organize this!'' Rina quickly ran to the livingroom and came back with the newspapers.

''That's my newspaper, Rina'' Mr.Yong furrowed his brows at her. ''Whatever dad, just read this until i'm done.'' She tossed the magazine to him. Junhyung and Sooyun couldn't help but to snicker.

''I don't read magazines rina!'' Mr.Yong said strictly but Rina just ignored him and looked through the newspaper. ''Oh I found it! Junhyung loves Roma!'' She looked at Junhyung. ''We don't have to go, really'' Sooyun said but Junhyung shook his head. ''We're going Sooyun. Hey rina, Roma isn't bad but can you find somewhere else. I want a more special place.''

''Oh! I found it!!'' She jumped up from her chair and started to dance. ''What are you doing?'' Junhyung smiled at her confused.

''Cuba!!'' She quickly sat down and looked at Sooyun. ''It's wonderful there Sooyun! I loved it soooo much!! It was the best place I ever!!! OMG! I want to go to Cuba again now!!''

Mr.Yong stopped eating and looked at Rina. ''You went to Cuba?'' Rina's eyes widened. ''Uhmm....uhh I just....I got bored from America dad, so...uhm...yeah?'' She said hesitantly.

''You!...You..!! AISHT!! I'm going to the company and reading my newspaper there!'' Mr.Yong angrily got out from the house. When Mr.Yong got out from the house he saw a lots of people around the gate with cameras and microphones in their hands. The guards tried to stop them.

''What the heck are they doing here?!'' Mr.Yong glared at the paparazzi.

When Mrs.Yong was about to leave the breakfast table, something caught her eyes. The magazine. She slowly took it and froze as soon as she saw the front page.

''Mom?'' Junhyung called as he saw her face.

''Rented bride to the Yong's''

She readed. Sooyun and Junhyung quickly looked at each other as Mrs.Yong continued to read.

''The 'walking 's' marriage was revealed to be a fake one. In order to continue his nightlife, Yong Junhyung decided to make an agreement with-'' Mrs.Yong didn't continue and slowly looked at Sooyun.

''What's happening out there? Can someone explain it to me?'' Mr.Yong came in to the house again. ''There's paparazzi everywhere! What are they doing here!?''

Mrs.Yong didn't take her eyes away from Sooyun as she handed Mr.Yong the magazine. He took it and the picture of Sooyun and Junhyung caught his eye, and the headline. It was written in big black letters.

''Is it true?'' Mr.Yong asked his son. They were all sitting in the living room now. ''A part of it...'' Junhyung said slowly.

''Then tell me about the truth part''

''Sooyun and I decided to-''

''I can't believe what you've done'' Mrs.Yong shook her head at him.

''You forced me to marry! You never listened to what I wanted!'' Junhyung tried to defense himself. ''And then, I met Sooyun. She had her reasons too-''

Mr.Yong shook his head and got up from the couch.

''Dad'' Junhyung quickly got up. ''Please listen. I just want you to believe in one thing. We totally messed the game...we fell in love. I beg you, believe me. Believe in our love.'' Mr.Yong closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

''Aren't you going to say anything?'' Junhyung whispered. ''I know what i did was wrong but you got what you wanted in the end, I found the right girl dad.''

''I don't have time to listen to your lies, son. Congratulations, you succeeded with your plan. You're free now. Do whatever you want, I'm not going to care anymore. Just stay out of my sight.'' Mr.Yong leaved the room.

 

Junhyung ran to the black sport car which was waiting for him at the backyard. He quickly sneaked in to the car without being caught by the paparazzi. ''What the hell bro!! What's happening!!!???'' Kikwang looked at him in panic.

''It happened Kikwang, everyone knows the truth now!'' Junhyung glanced back to see if there was any reporters around.

''!! I can't believe this! What did your family say!? Where is Sooyun?''

''Don't even ask, Kikwang, don't even ask.'' Junhyung heaved a deep sight and closed his eyes.

''But who!? Who the hell did this!?''

''Isn't it quiet obvious, Kikwang!?'' Junhyung gritted his teeth.

''Ara..'' Kikwang's jaw tightened. He then stepped hard on the pedal and drove swiftly away from there.

 

''DING DONG!'' A maid opened the door and Junhyung quickly pushed her away and stepped in to the house.

''Wait! Mr.Junhyung!'' The maid tried to stop him but Junhyung didn't even see her. He saw Ara in the livingroom and quickly went to her. He slammed the magazine hard on the table and looked at her confused face..

''ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?? YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED!'' He screamed right at her face. Ara looked at him with wide eyes.

''DIDN'T YOU WANTED TO SEE ME SUFFER? LOOK AT ME THEN! I'M IN PAIN! LOOK CAREFULLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU'RE SEEING ME!'' He quickly leaved the house without letting her speak. When Junhyung got out he called Sooyun, he didn't saw her since the morning. She just disappeared.

Sooyun was in the hospital. Her father got a heart attack when he heard about that his daughter was a 'rented bride'. She cried at the corner of the hospital, while she was waiting for the doctors to explain his condition. She was so embarrassed of herself. She couldn't look at her family anymore. Her mother wouldn't talk with her and whenever she tried to talk with her brother, he would always turn his back to her and pretend that she wasn't there. Alec was there too. He handed her his handkerchief when he saw her in tears.

''Thank you'' She sniffed and accepted it. ''Everything's going to be ok, Sooyun.'' He tried to comfort her.

''I just....'' She sobbed hard. ''...I just thought that it was the right decision back then. He loved that house so much....and...and I couldn't bear to watch him in pain...I just...I.'' She couldn't talk and started to cry again.

''It's okay, Sooyun. He's your father, he'll forgive you.''

Sooyun shook her head. ''Look what I did. He's dying because of me. My family won't talk with me. I messed everything.'' She lowered her head in shame. ''Everyone's talking about the rented bride. How can I face the people now?''

Alec stared at her. How could he think about his pounding heart when she cried right in front of him? When she was in so much pain? When her father was fighting for his life? How could he think that she still looked so beautiful despite her swollen face? He slowly lifted his arms and was about to hug her when her phone rang.

Junhyung

His jaw automatically tightened when he saw his name flash on her screen. ''I've to take this call.'' She wiped her tears away and pressed the answer button.

''Junhyung...'' She softly said.

Alec's heart crushed into pieces. To hear his name from her lips...it just hurt him so much. He slowly removed his hands from her. He couldn't even hug her...as always Junhyung came between them. He decided to walk away from there because it would just hurt him more to listen to their conversation.

''Sooyun where are you? Why don't you answer my calls?''

Sooyun could hear his worried voice. ''Junhyung....I'm in the hospital.''

''Hospital?''

''My dad....my dad got heart attack, Junhyung.'' She started to cry again.

''WHAT!!? I''m coming right away!''

''No! Don't come. It'll just be worse.''

''Sooyun, don't be ridiculous! Ill be there in 5 minutes!''

Junhyung rushed to the hospital. When he found Sooyun he quickly hugged her. ''Sooyun, are you ok? How's he?''

''He's having a surgery.'' She didn't hug back but Junhyung didn't care. He just thought that she was still in shock. Sooyun glanced at her mother and then back at Junhyung.

''I told you to not come.'' She whispered so that her mother wouldn't hear. Junhyung furrowed his brows at her. ''I'm where i'm supposed to be!''

''Aren't you ashamed of showing that ty face of yours, huh?'' Alec glared at him with murderer eyes. Junhyung turned his head and saw Alec. His eyes slowly narrowed. ''Watch your mouth''

''All this people here are suffering because of you. Get the hell out of here!''

''Sooyun is my wife! You should get the hell out of here!'' Junhyung clenched his fists. Alec came closer to him. ''What wife are you talking about? Her dad is struggling with his life because of that ing game!''

''Hey! Hey!'' Sooyun stopped them, so that they wouldn't start a fight. Junhyung ignored her and took a step to Alec. ''Who the hell are you to come between us!?''

''I should be the one asking that!''

''Since we married, you're always around us! You're trying to pick up a fight whenever you see me! Do you plan to steal Sooyun's heart in that way, huh?'' Junhyung felt his blood boil in anger. Alec couldn't take it anymore and punched Junhyung hard right on the face. Junhyung ignored the pain he felt on his jaw and quickly grabbed him on the collar and threw him on the floor. He bent down to him and punched his face several times before Sooyun's brother came running to him and pushed him from Alec before he would punch the hell out of him.

''If I EVER see you beside Sooyun, I'll ing KILL YOU!!'' Junhyung shouted at Alec.

''You son of a !'' Alec tried to attack him but couldn't because he was being held by Sooyun's brother.

1 hour had passed and they were all still waiting. Alec had already leaved the hospital and Junhyung was feeling better without him around them. Kikwang and Rina came to the hospital together after some time.

''What's up bro?'' Kikwang placed his hand on Junhyung's shoulder. Junhyung sighed. ''I don't know, it's just...why can't we be happy for once?''

''It's okay Junhyung, that days will also come. You'll see.'' Kikwang smiled at him.

''Junhyung, why don't you come home? You have to rest a little, you're so tired, look at you.'' Rina said worriedly and touched his cheek softly. He smiled at her and then nodded. ''I will.''

''Althought Rina was home all the time, she suffered with you guys too'' Kikwang said. ''She was so worried. Poor girl, she couldn't sleep last night at all and just tossed and her bed.'' He said sadly.

Junhyung furrrowed his brows and then looked at Kikwang. ''Her bed? What are you doing in her room?''

Kikwang's eyes slowly widened as he realized what he just said. ''Uh...what I'm doing? Uhh...'' He quickly looked at Rina and then back to Junhyung. ''Uhm....since she couldn't sleep last night, we just sat in her room and talked....uhm...right Rina?''

''uh...no'' She said innocently, making Kikwang send her death glares. ''I slept early last night.'' She said to her brother. She then looked at Kikwang with wide eyes. ''OMO!! Did you sneaked in to my room last night, Kikwang oppa!??''

Junhyung quickly shot Kikwang a glare. Kikwang gulped and then looked at Rina shocked. ''Rina...?'' He didn't understand what she was trying to do. ''Rina...don't be ridiculous!'' He hissed at her quietly. Rina couldn't hold herself anymore and burst into laughter.

''Alright, alright. I'm just joking!''

''Yeah! Yeah! It's just a joke! Did you hear that Junhyung? She just joked, hahaha'' Kikwang nervously laughed.

 

Junhyung stared at himself on the mirror when he was done with his tie. He looked good as always. He then slowly walked to the big window in his bedroom and saw the people waiting for him in the garden. His explanation about the 'rented bride'.

''It's time'' Mrs.Yong suddenly came into his room. Junhyung turned his head and slowly nodded.

''Alright.''

Mrs.Yong walked to him and stared at him seriously. ''Look Junhyung, here's a paper about your explanation.'' She showed him the paper she was holding. ''The lawyer wrote this and if you read this to them out there, our reputation won't be ruined. You'll save our family.'' Junhyung took the paper from her and saw the disgusting explanation.

''I got it now.'' Junhyung suddenly smirked at her. ''I've two mothers.'' Mrs.Yong looked confused at him.

''The first one is a lovely lady with a bright smile and a beautiful soul....but-'' Junhyung's eyes suddenly became dark.

''She's a stranger to me. A stranger to my father and sister, to our feelings. We love the first one but the second one...'' Junhyung shook his head slowly. ''...we 're a stranger to the second one.'' He then ripped the papaper he was holding and threw it aside.

''Sooyun and I've already decided, mom. Thanks for your concern.'' He sarcastically said and went out from his room, leaving his mother in tears.

Junhyung went out to the garden and saw Rina and Kikwang. Kikwang smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder. ''Bro, go there and show them who you are!'' Junhyung couldn't help but to smile at him. *Silly...*

Rina pushed Kikwang away and hugged Junhyung. ''Just tell whatever you're feeling, alright? Now, go and make me proud.'' Junhyung smiled and ruffled her hair. With a pounding heart he sat infront of the reporters and looked at the cameras that was flashing. He cleared his troath and looked confidently at them.

''I'm going to get to the point right away.'' He noticed how silent it became. ''What you've wrote is both right and wrong. It's truth that I've done a marriage with agreement.... I was just afraid of marriage and I thought it was a good idea then. I wanted to live my life and I did.''

 

''Do you love him?'' Sooyun's father asked. She became quiet. Her father sighed. ''It looks like you do.'' He was laying on the hospital bed.

''I've always been afraid of this in my life. That my daughter will someday come and say to me that she loves someone that I don't want.''

Sooyun lowered her head in shame.

 

Junhyung continued.

''...and the false news is about what you've wrote about my wife. She's innocent. I found her weak point and succeeded to persuade her. So stop calling her horrible things!''

 

 

''Come here.'' Sooyun's father took her hand. She lifted her head up and sat beside him on the bed.

''I don't know for how long I'll keep my eyes open in this world and....I don't want to see you with that guy anymore. I can live with the shame you've brought on me, I can act like I never knew about it, you're my daughter after all........so-'' He paused.

Sooyun waited for him to speak. Somehow knew what his next words would be.

''...either you come back to your home, we forget everything or...you go to that guy and forget us...make your choice.''

 

 

 

Junhyung looked at his hands as he continued to talk.

''Now I regret it so much. I wish I wouldn't take those wrong paths but... I'm happy. I found the girl I love. I married without being in love-''

FLASHBACK

Junhyung was sitting on a bench outside the hospital. He slowly got up from his place when sooyun came out from the hospital. She looked at him for a second and then hugged him warmly.

''It didn't work...'' She said softly. ''...I'm sorry.'' She was still in his arms. ''...my heart is full with you... but my father's heart is more important.''

 

''...and I'm separating when I love..'' Junhyung whispered.

 

 

 

''This time no crying, alright?'' Junhyung tried to smile.

''We...aren't going to see each other anymore'' She whispered.

Junhyung swallowed hard and nodded. ''...we won't''

''You're not going to call me...''

''...I'm not...''

''You're going to stay away from me...''

Junhyung closed his eyes hard and nodded. ''.....I 'll.''

Sooyun took out her wedding ring from her finger and gave it to him. Junhyung closed his fist tightly, holding the ring inside.

''......goodbye.' Sooyun whispered and hugged him for the last time. She broke her promise to him, she couldn't held her tears back and quietly sobbed. Junhyung closed his eyes and sniffed her hair, feeling her sweet scent....the last time he would feel it. The last time he would hold her. Sooyun softly pulled away from his arms and left him. Junhyung stared at the ground. He didn't look at her walk away...didn't want to...it would just be harder for him.

 

 

 

 

''Thank you everyone for coming. The interview ends here.'' Junhyung pushed his chair back and was about to leave when one of the reporters asked him a question.

''Mr.Junhyung, will we see you in the nightlife again?''

Junhyung turned back to the reporters and smiled bitterly.

''I don't know...all I know is that wherever I go in this world....a part of me will always be missing....''
