Chapter 31 – Nobody Wants You
“Nothing.” She responds dryly, though she knows that’s a lie. A major lie actually, she could only begin to think of all the possible reasons why Johnny didn’t show up.
“Stand up.” He ordered. SoMi stood up from her seat; her legs were lazy from sitting down so long. She turn around to face him with cold eyes.
“What the hell do you want?” She snapped, she didn’t want to be dealing with her grandfather right now. She just wanted to see Johnny, as hard as that was to admit. She wanted to know why he didn’t show, why did he leave her on their wedding day to face the storm all alone? She felt the pitiful stares, the upset frowns and the wasted time, in the end she was left, and she was punished while he walked off unharmed.
Her grandfather raised his arm, and with a force as powerful as a category five hurricane. He swung his arm directing every ounce of energy towards her. He slammed his palm against her face, rendering her speechless in shock. Pain spread from her check and she could feel the bruise that would form. Quickly, she masked away the pain, like always.
She didn’t want the man to have the satisfaction of knowing that he was infecting pain in her, it wasn’t only physically but both emotionally and mentally as well.
“This horrible brat! What did you do to drive a perfectly good man away? How in the world did you do such a thing? I don’t know what’s wrong with you, all you had to do was……. forget it. I shouldn’t expect too much from something like you. Nobody wants you.” He hissed in anger, he didn’t understand the extent of his words and how they pierced her. He stomped away leaving her alone to drench in her misery.
……
“Johnny.”
Nothing.
“Young Ho.”
Nothing.
“This mother-f-__-king idiot.”
Taeyong hissed running over to the pissed off Dragon, grabbing him by the collar of his now ruined dress shirt. “You just missed your wedding!” Taeyong snapped.
He wasn’t a fan of this arranged marriage, but even in those stereotypical stories where the groom is all ‘I h@ťě my fiancee’ or ‘I don’t even know her’ or ‘I’m doing this for my family and our company’ at least he showed up to the wedding and marry the bride. Not his friends though, Johnny didn’t even get to the footsteps of the estate where he was supposed to be getting married.
Even though it was arranged, Taeyong couldn’t help but think about how SoMi must have felt. Sure she seem strong on the outside, but even the woman must have feelings, and any typical human would have been broken if they were basically left stranded on their wedding day.
“Haven’t you been keeping up Taeyong?” Johnny retorted, “Someone was hired to ki|| Mark. You expect me to be getting married when the leader of NCTDREAM, our Ally and most importantly our friend is being chased by Lord-knows-who? No way in hell!!” Johnny hissed back. He knew he was more than late, but right now he didn’t care. His loyalty to NCT comes before SoMi, and even his parents. He already could see the scowl on his father’s face and his mother’s bickering, but that didn’t matter.
SoMi’s face flashed in his mind, brushing her beautiful face aside he told himself one thing, she wouldn’t care if he showed up or not. She was probably even relieved and happy, right?
……
“Nobody wants you.” Her grandfather’s words repeated in her mind. SoMi deeply sign, so what if nobody wants her. She doesn’t want them either, she tells herself, but she knows she’s lying to herself. No one can live a life alone, with no family, friends, and love.
She frowns when she realizes something. She once promised herself not to set up high expectations for Johnny Suh because he would only let her down. However, she never thought that he would disappoint her so much.
“d@mn it you idiot! You couldn’t even bother showing up. Is marrying me really that awful.” She mumbled softly to herself. She hesitantly pulls herself together, her cheeks still stings from her grandfather’s slap.
