Krisyeon

Kris and Jiyeon are enemies. They always fought with each other. But, their family arranged them to marry. During the marriage, Jiyeon fall deeply for him because of his charms. Kris was just playing with her and was dating another girl. He even slept with the girl when Jiyeon witnessed the both of them. What will happen when Jiyeon suddenly involved in accident and almost die? Will Kris realized that he actually loves her?

“Yah! Move away, nerd!”

Jiyeon rolled her eyes but she shifted away from his front, sending him her famous glare. “I’m not a nerd, jerkass.”

“But you look like one.” Kris simply shrugged his shoulder, returning her his famous smirk, before stepping into the classroom.

Jiyeon was standing by the door, trying to open the door, and that was when Kris interrupted her. She moved aside, and Kris entered after she successfully opened it.

That was how he is, jerk.

Jiyeon threw some imaginary punched to his head before stomping to her seat, trying to calm herself down since lesson was about to begin.

It did.

Lesson ended well, as usual, but when lunch time arrived, the duo started arguing again. They always did.

The rest of the student population were used to it, actually.

Kris and Jiyeon were childhood enemies. They were neighbours too. They went to the same school since they were young, and were even in the same classes throughout the whole education years.

They were in their senior year of high school already, leaving a few months ahead before they graduate from it.

“I heard from omma you’re going for design course in Seoul University?” Kris did his famous smirk again, before pushing her to the side so he could walk.

Jiyeon brushed her sleeves, where he just touched, before sending him her famous glare, “Yes, so what? And you’re going to business course in Namhwa University? Great then! We won’t see each other anymore. I won’t have to see this jerkface everyday again.”

“YAH! NERD!” Kris smacked the back of her head, which sent her glasses flying a few metres ahead.

“YAH! JERKFACE!” Of course, she wouldn’t back down easily. Jiyeon simply kicked his knee, sending him toppling over to hug his pained knees.

“DAMN IT! PARK JIYEON!”

Jiyeon did a small victory dance and showed him her tongue, before rushing off to the cafeteria to get her lunch.

She bought some light food, and dashed out of the cafeteria, even before Kris arrived, just so she wouldn’t see him.

They would always argue when they meet, no doubt.

After school had ended, Jiyeon dashed out of the classroom since she cleared her stuff hurriedly, so she could avoid him.

And she did.

She managed to reach home successfully, this time without being bullied or teased.

“Jiyeon-ah! You’re back?!”

“Eo? Omma? You’re home?!”

“Yeah! I came home early today!”

Jiyeon rushed into the kitchen, where the voice came from, “Why? You took off? Did appa give you a day off?”

“I threatened him, of course he would give me a day off.”

“You did, omma?!”

Mrs. Park let out a gentle laughter at once, “I’m just joking silly.”

Jiyeon smiled at her silly mother, before walking to her side, “Then why are you taking a day off?”

“I’m preparing dinner for us!”

“Dinner?”

“Yeah! We have guests over tonight!”

“Guests? That’s new.”

Mrs. Park washed her hands before holding onto Jiyeon’s shoulders, so she could guide her back to her room. “And you, my lovely daughter, have to prepare yourself. Make yourself pretty for the guests tonight.”

“Me? I have to be in the dinner too?”

“Of course, darling! You’re the main character tonight!”

“Me?!”

Mrs. Park said no more, but pushed her into the bathroom. “Wash up first, my dear~ I’ll just continue my dinner making, and you will make yourself pretty. They’re coming over at 6 so get yourself ready by then!”

Jiyeon was confused, but she obeyed.

She put on her favourite flower dress, dropping down to above her knee, and put on light make-up just as she did when she went out to the mall.

It was simply, but she was perfect and flawless.

She was a beauty, alright.

Jiyeon hopped out of her room to the kitchen, only to catch her mother setting the table up, “Do you need help, omma?”

“It’s alright. I’m almost done!”

“Let me help, omma. It’s fine.” Jiyeon took the plates over and set the table up, leaving her mother staring in bliss.

*She will be a good wife. I’m sure. That’s my girl.* Mrs. Park nodded her head in approval before turning to the stove the get the dishes ready.

In just a few minutes, the door opened and Mr. Park walked in. “I’m home!”

“Appa!” Jiyeon rushed to his side, hugged him tight and pecked him on the cheek. “Welcome home!”

“Wow! Look at my beautiful daughter!”

They giggled together, before Mr. Park went over to greet his wife. “What time are they coming over again?”

“6, yeobo. You’re so forgetful nowadays.”

“I’m getting old now, yeobo.”

“And that’s why I’m here to help you.”

Jiyeon shivered at her lovey-dovey parents as she rubbed her arms, “Appa, omma. You both… please.”

“Alright, alright.” They shared another round of laughter before the door bell rang. “It’s 6 already? Yeobo, get the door would you? I’ll just get the last dish out.”

“Sure, yeobo.”

And he went over to the door with Jiyeon.

“Eo! Hello, Imo! Hello, Samchoon!” (Aunty, Uncle)

“Jiyeon-ah! You look beautiful tonight!”

Jiyeon smiled shyly as she gave the adults a small hug, “Imo and Samchoon looks nice too!” They walked into the house, and that was when Jiyeon saw their son.

“Kris! You came too?! Since when did you come for dinner?!”

Kris rolled his eyes and pushed her away, before following his parents into the house. “They forced me.”

“As if you will be forced.” Jiyeon mumbled to herself before closing the door, and joined the rest of them by the dining table.

They did a small greeting and said some prayers before dining in.

The adults acted as though they were having their usual dinner together, but deep inside, they were excited to share the news to their kids.

Finally, the time had arrived.

“So… Jiyeon-ah.”

“Hmm?”

“Kris.”

He said nothing, but his eyes were on his parents.

“There’s a reason for us to call you over to join us for dinner.” Mrs. Wu beamed in excitement as she looked at Mrs. Park, who was grinning like a little child.

They held hands excitedly, before spilling their decision out, “We are going to get you two married!”

Jiyeon dropped the spoon onto the plate, and Kris widened his eyes in horror, “WHAT?!”

“You two are going to get married!” The two mothers cooed again, and started giggling in excitement. The fathers were smiling too, and they nodded their head in agreement.

“It’s final. No alterations of decision any longer. Adults have the say for our children.”

That’s the final word from Mr. Wu, and it made the both of them speechless. He has the authority to make them agree with anything they decide. He has the power, and Kris never once disobeyed him. He was rebellious, but once his father decided on something important, he has no say in it any longer.

Jiyeon, on the other hand, being a filial daughter, she obeyed her parents whenever and whichever. She never once disobeyed them at all, since she wanted them happy.

“You both will be staying together from now on! We even got you both an apartment nearby! It’s the top level, in the penthouse! Don’t worry, we actually moved most of your stuff up already. We’re efficient alright.” The adults laughed at their own decisions again, leaving the duo dumbfounded.

*No wonder I had so many clothes gone. But living with jerkface… Oh God, please kill me.* Jiyeon sighed as she thought about it.

Kris stared ahead, looking at Jiyeon who had her head lowered the whole time. *ing nerd. I don’t even love you. How could we get married?! I swear we will divorce some day, and I can have my freedom back.*

Hours later, they found themselves on the top level of the building, in the decorated penthouse, alone.

Kris sighed and plopped down on the couch, with Jiyeon following suit, sitting right beside him. “So… are you going to agree with them?!”

“What can I say? I can’t say no to appa.”

“I can’t say no to them too…” Jiyeon was soft, but he heard it. He actually knew she was a filial daughter since young, and of course, he knew she wouldn’t even think of rejecting her parents.

“Fine then. Let’s do this. We’ll play along for now, and after a year or two, we’ll divorce with each other.”

“Play along?”

“Yes. In front of them, we act like we’re in love, a married couple. Only in front of them. Other than that, we’re still strangers.”

“Okay then.” Jiyeon nodded her head in approval, stood up, and headed to the bedroom. “I’ll take the bed and you’ll take the couch since there is only one bedroom.”

Kris rolled his eyes and lay down on the couch at once. “Whatever you say, queen.”

“Psh.” Jiyeon rolled her eyes too, and slammed the door before turning in for the night as well.

♥♥♥♥♥

It had always been like this since that day.

Even after three months, their relationship didn’t improve, instead, they deteriorate. They would act like they’re normal couple in front of their parents whenever they had dinner or whatsoever.

But in school, they argued with each other, even worse than before.

However, this time, whenever they argued, Jiyeon would feel a hard sting on her chest. Her heart was in pain.

She couldn’t stand how Kris was treating her. Yes, it had always been like this, but after they lived under one roof, she actually got tired of that kind of relationship. She doesn’t want Kris to treat her like . She wanted more.

On top of that, she found herself starting to care for him.

With exams around the corner, Jiyeon started revising her work, and so did Kris. She would baked some cookies for herself, and made some coffee when she felt sleepy, but she made extra share for Kris too.

She would always stand in front of the guest room, which happened to be Kris’s room for the moment, contemplating on whether to give him the snacks or not, but in the end, she chickened out.

She took the snacks back to her room and ate them herself.

“He would find it weird if I treat him well, won’t he? He would think I like him now.” Jiyeon sighed sadly, “But I actually do like him now.”

Yes, she realized she actually like him.

Since she always see him in the morning, after school, and before they turn in for the night, she realized she developed some feelings for him.

Whenever she saw his smile, not to her though, her heart would skip a beat.

Whenever she saw his smirk, her heart would cry out how handsome he was.

Whenever she saw his wet hair after shower, her heart would burst like a bomb.

It was extraordinary, since this was the first time she had such feelings. *That’s love.* She told herself. Finally, she encountered her first love.

As days went by, she did not argue with Kris anymore, despite him doing so. He would tease and bully her, and even push her around as usual, but Jiyeon simply keep quiet about it.

Instead, she felt her heart skipped again, whenever their skins brushed against each other.

That’s it.

Jiyeon couldn’t hold her feelings any longer.

She finally decided to confess to him. Whether he replied to her feelings or not, it doesn’t matter. She just wanted her feelings to be conveyed to him. She just wanted him to know about her feelings. That’s all.

So right on their last day of exam, Jiyeon rushed to the mart to get some groceries, ready to cook some dinner that night to surprise him. Kris always returned home late, so she had the whole noon to herse
