The Perfect One
Chapter 9 - They want us to marry
Evelyn
I woke up to a call. I looked around for Su. She must have left. I reached for my phone and looked at the caller ID. It was J-Hope.
"Hey." I said as I got out of bed and into the kitchen to get some water to drink.
"Morning, Eve." J-Hope said brightly on the other side. Memories flashed back before my eyes. When we were still in school, he used to call me 'eve'
"What's up?" I asked.
"I was just wondering, if you would like to come and hang out today?" He asked.
"Today?" I looked at the time. "Yeah, sure. What time?"
"Well..I'm downstairs right now." I heard him laugh.
"Um..Ok. I'll be down in a bit." I said as I hung up the phone and ran to my wardrobe. I looked for clothes carefully, as Jhope has always been very patient with me. In the end I decided with a casual look. I then grabbed my phone and sunglasses and ran downstairs.
"Jhoppppeeeee." I shouted as I ran towards him. He pulled me into a tight hug. I broke the hug. "So, where are we going?"
"You'll see." He said cheerfully as he started the engine.
I nodded before buckling my seatbelt and leaned back in my chair. We drove out of the neighbourhood.
Soon we left the modern part of the city and I saw more greenery. Then memories flashes through my mind. Memories of Jhope and I playing in the woods, fighting over who is tagging who.
"Jhope?" I stammered. "Is this..?"
"Yes." He nodded. "It's the primary school we used to go to."
"But..." I looked at the ruins. "Why?"
"They knocked it down, because our headmaster..he..." Jhope stopped.
"What happened to him?" I almost screamed. Our old headmaster had always been the kind man who looked after me when my mum was gone.
"He..passed. Away. Three years ago." JHope stopped driving to wipe away my tears.
"WHY DIDN' YOU TELL ME?" I cried even harder. I grew up under a tricky condition. My dad divorced my mum immediately after I was born. I was filed to live with my dad by the court, however my father did not treat me well. My mum then filed a lawsuit against him and that managed to allow me to leave him.
I was small and after that, I had developed a fear towards men. However it was my primary school headmaster, Mr. Choi, who looked after me and after that my fear decreased. My mum had to go on business trips often, so I was often left with Mr. Choi.
I remember that night when I was left with Mr. Choi, I found out that he also takes care of another kid that was in the sam situation as me. Except, his father died. And that kid was Jhope.
Now I had tears streaming down my face. I was sad and angry. I was sad that the lovely old man that looked after me made amazing rice cake is no longer there. I was also angry that my best friend didn't even bother to tell me he passed away until three years ago.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" I repeated again, bitterly. Jhope just looked down. Since we've stopped now, I pushed open the car door and ran out.
Out into the place where I spent most of my childhood. Out into the place where I hid when the rain was pouring. Except, the person that used to come and find me when I hid was not there anymore.
I heard movements behind me. I quickly turned. It was Jhope.
"Go away." I tried to push him.
"What's wrong with you Eve?" Jhope held onto me firmly.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. NOT TELLING ME?" I glared at him.
Suddenly I got pushed onto the side of the car. I closed my eyes in a hurry, when I opened them again. I was faced by an angry Jhope. To be honest, I've never seen him so angry before.
"What do you mean by what is wrong with ME?" Jhope's grip around my arms tightened. "You were the one who left. Ten years ago. Do you not remember?"
I couldn't speak. It was correct. I left when I was twelve. Without telling anyone. With my mum to live in the UK.
"You were the one who didn't tell me. I WAITED TEN YEARS FOR YOU." Jhope literally yelled in my ear. "Ten whole years, you left me. I tried finding out where you went, but my mum wouldn't tell me a single thing."
"I.." I had no words to say. I cried even more, my face was covered in tears and tear marks.
"I'm sorry." I said at last. And with that Jhope hugged me tightly.
"Promise me. That you would stay with me." Jhope then quickly pecked my forehead.
I looked at him in surprise, but I quickly nodded."I promise."
Jimin
"Jimin. When are they here?" Luna stood next to me, repeating the same words for the hundredth time.
"Park Jin-ah. Please shut up. I have no idea and if you bother me anymore, you are grounded." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey. You can't do that." Luna protested.
"That's it. Grounded for a day." I said before jokingly flicking her on the forehead.
Suddenly, a woman carrying some suitcase ran past us.
"Oh my gosh." Luna gasped as the suitcase was about to bump into her. I immediately pulled her into my arms and sighed.
"Luna?" I patted her on her head. "Can you please just look after yourself."
"Jimin." Luna said, looking at me.
"Yeah?" I answered her.
"That was so cool!" She jumped up and down. I swear she has the brain of a six years old, not a sixteen year old. "Do that again."
"No." I said as I pulled her to stand next to me. "You are standing here until they come."
I glanced at the arrivals notice board. They have already landed. They should be coming out any second right now.
"Hello my darling!" A voice called. I turned to see mum rushing over and hugging Luna very tightly. Luna shot me a 'save me' look. I didn't bother.
Then dad rushed towards Luna as well. Haha. No one really cared about me. It was normal because Luna was the only girl in the family for three generations. No wonder she is so popular.
"Jimin!" A voice called my name. I turned to see Mi Kyung. Mi Kyung is my mum's best friend's daughter. We grew up together.
"Hi Mi Kyung." I nodded my head towards her but she rushed over and hugged me. Everybody at the airport was staring at us with a 'look at the cute couple' look. NO. I am not dating Mi Kyung.
Just when everybody stopped looking at us. Luna floated and glided over.
"Jimin oppppaa. Are you dating Mi kyung unnniiieee?" She said it in such a way that I wanted to punch her in the face so badly. But I can't do it. There were three pairs of eyes on me. Two of which would literally rip me in half if I laid a finger on Luna.
"awww. you sweet little pumpkin pie." Mi Kyung pulled Luna in a hug. Sweet little pumpkin pie? Luna's more of a halloween pumpkin with a face so ugly that no one even dares to go near her.
"Here." Mi kyung said sweetly. "Unnie bought you some gifts." Mi kyung then pulled out a teddy bear and some sweets and immediately Luna was off. She just wanted the gifts.
"Jimin oppa." Mi kyung leaned against me. "Mi kyung missed you."
"Mi Kyung stop it." I said pulling my self away from her. Mi Kyung then had a hurt look on her face.
"Does Jimin oppa dislike Mi Kyung then?" Mi kyung said innoncently before her expression changes. "Actually Mrs Park and Mr Park only invited me over to talk about something."
"What." I asked.
She whispered in my ear."They...want...us...to... marry"
I woke up to a call. I looked around for Su. She must have left. I reached for my phone and looked at the caller ID. It was J-Hope.
"Hey." I said as I got out of bed and into the kitchen to get some water to drink.

Notes
hello everyone I apologise for three weeks of not updating. But at least I am back now. yes you might have seen that I deleted my other story. The reason for this is because that one wasn't going as well as I planned and everything just sort of messed up. I will still start a story in a bit as well. Please understand and I apologise for all the delay in the story. I just didn't have the heart to write. I also apologise if you think this is a bad chapter. I really had no idea what to do as I usually don't plan out my chapters (I'm better at writing freely.) and the only idea I had was this. Once again, I am very sorry.
-------------------
Enough of babbling. Back to the story. WOW now we have lots of contestants. We have #teamjimin #teamjin and #teamjhope. Who will win Evelyn's heart. We also have #teamevelyn and #teammikyung. Who will win Jimin's heart. We will find out in two chapters!
-------------------
Ice cream cake by red velvet has got into my head right now and it can't get out. And I also have fallen into the slime trend. What do I do? I going to China in one week, my summer is in one week. I'm not sure if they have blocked this website in China, but hopefully it works.
-------------------
Thank you for the support so far. Estimated update: Saturday 1st July (the day I go back to China!)
Mwah lots of loves. Galaxy Girl
