Chapter 2 - A BLOOMING FLOWER 2

"You wanted to talk, go ahead." "Jin-Ae, I know this is not really what you want but could at least do this for your family. Being engaged to me is something you never wanted, but for our families-- "Seriously, Nam-Hoon. Just stop right there. For our families? It's good to know that you are aware I don't like this set up. So please do me a favor and never show up in my class again. I don't like the unnecessary attention and now everyone knows about the engagement. Honestly, Nam-Hoon, I'm tired of this I think that we should put a stop to this. Please," she says with sincerity overflowing in her eyes." But, this what our families want, this is what I want." "Wow! What about what I want? I don't want to be in this pathetic relationship for the rest of my life. Not you, not anyone cares about my opinion! Why should I have to conform to what you want? I just want to live a normal life[her tone calming down]I just want to be the typical high school senior without thinking about a wedding I barely want. I'll talk to my mom to put an end to this. Enough.

"Jin-Ae, you do this now and nothing is ever going to go your way again. Do you think your mom will call it off? You know very well how much she supports this, It won't change." "Hey, Park Nam-Hoon, shut up," she plainly said as she took her bag and walked away.

Jin-Ae arrives home and finds her mom in the living room wearing a condescending expression. "What the hell did you do?", putting down the glass of wine she held. "Good evening mom!" "[scoffs]Good? Are you sure it still is after what you've done? Don't play dumb with me, young lady. Why did you try to call off the engagement to Nam-Hoon? Are you crazy? Don't you dare do such a thing again, do you hear me?" "Ma, I'm tired of faking that relationship. Is it necessary to be with him? Just call it off, please," putting her hands together jokingly. "You see this as a joke, your future lies with this decision. Think about the joy this will bring your father, you are so selfish you hardly think of anyone else[sighs]" "Ma, I'm not being selfish and how did you know about it, aaah! He already ran his mouth to you. I see." "Hey, he didn't say anything, I found out on my own and I am not calling this off. Once he graduates and joins university you will be a final year and after that go to college, live life and then marry him, is that understood?" Jin-Ae, goes up to her room, obviously still defiant of her mom's choice. As she sits on her bed she gets a call from her father, "Dad! I was just about to call you. When are you coming?" "Well my princess, don't worry, I just landed. I'm at the exit of Incheon Airport, I'll be there soon." "Dad, I missed you so much and so much has-- she is cut short by a loud sound and the screams of people in the background. The sound was a gunshot, "Dad! Dad! ...Dad!" she could no longer hear his voice, she could only hear his chauffeur yelling 'Mr. Seo' repeatedly.

She ran downstairs frantically alarming her already annoyed mother. " Where are you going like that?" "Ma. I don't have any time to explain, let's just go." Just like that both of them headed to the airport unaware of what was waiting for them...
