MINA'S POV

I know that she doesn't want to believe my words, but she can't do anything, to be honest. If Jimin is married now, she can be considered to be the other woman of that boy. "Please tell me it's not the truth."

"It is." I answered without any expressions on my face. "You honestly can't do anything since he's an arranged man. I wondered why Jimin did not tell you, though." I added. "I can bring you to him just to--"

"It's okay. I've think I've heard enough." She stood up and brought her bag with her. "Thank you for telling me the truth." I can sense her eyes tearing up once she heard from me that Jimin is actually arranged to a stranger. "Until we meet again." She nodded at me before going. I watch her exit inside our unit.

Should I feel sad for her? Should I be happy? What should I feel? I think I should rather be numb.

"Didn't you think that you crossed the line?" Joshua said out of nowhere. I think he just finished putting Youngbin to sleep. "You should've said those words in a nicer way."

"You know that I'm not nice." I scoffed and stood up. I think I just need to clear ny head and wait for tomorrow. Jimin and I are going to meet again and I guess I just have to act "natural", just like what Josh suggested.

Joshua is damn stunning when he came out with his suit and I hate him for being very handsome. It's like there are rays of sunshine behind him and it made him look very magical in my eyes. He also put his hair up, revealing his forehead that I just saw now. He never revealed his forehead and now that it is shown, it just made him look more handsome.

"Stop drooling," he noticed that I was staring at him, so I immediately rolled my eyes and shook my head sideways. "You look amazing." He complimented.

I flipped my hair and winked, "Of course!"

He acted like he's been shot through his heart and stumbled on the floor, "Aigoo! Too much beauty!" We laughed at ourselves. He then took Youngbin who is playing on the carpeted floor. He's looking so cute as well wearing his small suit. "Let's go!" He placed his son on the stroller and as always, we came down. We checked everything before leaving. It's hard to go back to the hotel if we forget something.

I knew that everyone would be flustered now that they see me, alive and beautiful--and kicking. Hwasa unnie was the first one who saw me and her eyes just grew wide. She ran towards me and cupped my cheeks, asking why am I alive.

"It's a long story," I answered.

She rolled her eyes, "Bitch, we'll listen, okay?"

"Well, it's not an easy explanation." I added. She really kept on asking me over and over again to narrate everything to her, but I just kept on refusing because we don't have time to chat now that we only have a few minutes left before the wedding.

"God, is that Mina?!" I heard Hani unnie's shocked expression. I faced her and smiled and waved my hand. She's so shocked that she asked the other harlots if I'm real. They slowly walked towards me and squished my face, making sure that I am not some sort of ghost.

"Shit!" Solar unnie hissed. "You really are alive!"

"Fuck you, why did you lie about your death?!" Moonbyul unnie asked.

"Bitch, you really need to explain." Soyou unnie sassily said.

"U-Uh," they all eyed Joshua who just reacted. "Can we please tone down with the cussing? We're in the church." I'm sure that they're curious to know who is this gentleman beside me.

"Who is the handsome killjoy?" Dasom unnie raised the question. All of their eyebrows are raised, probably asking the same question inside their heads.

I was about to speak when Joshua introduced himself instead. "My name is Joshua Hong and this is our baby, Youngbinie," from raised eyebrows to widened eyes. Okay, Joshua. I won't let you talk again. This is your first time to introduce yourself to my friends and now you just messed up badly!

I held Josh's shoulder and smiled, "Sweethearts, what Josh meant to say was--"

"Are you denying your husband?" Bora unnie asked. God, these people won't lend their ears.

"Okay, so first of all, we're not married!" I told them with my voice a little bit higher in pitch.

"Then, explain these rings." Hwasa unnie took our hands and showed up our rings.

"These are completely different rings!" I said. "Mine is silver and his is gold, okay? We only wear these rings as accessories--"

"Hmm, then how about the baby?" Solar unnie pointed Youngbin.

"It's his baby, alone--"

"Wow, asexual reproduction!" They all laughed from Hani unnie said. It was funny, I admit, but their minds are completely boxed inside of an idea only. I can't explain further because they keep on cutting me off.

"Will you guys let me explain?" I asked.

"What are you still going to explain--"

"Okay, everyone! Please go inside already! The groom and bride are on their way now!" The staff suddenly shouted to all guests. Since me and Josh aren't part of the ceremony, we just looked for a seat for ourselves and waited for the ceremony to start.

"Who are those girls?" Josh asked.

I sighed, "They're my fellow harlots." He seemed somehow shocked of my answer.

"Do they still work as...you know," he chuckled shyly.

"Nope." He looked the most relieved when he heard my reply. "They're doing well since they turned over a new leaf."

"That's good." I nodded and he patted my head. "I don't say this usually, but I'm really proud of what you've become in just after two years." I'm not used to his sweet words, so I just rolled my eyes at him. I don't also know how to respond, so I guess I just have to act cocky. "The groom is coming." We faced the front door of the church and cheered when Jooyoung oppa started walking towards the altar. He looked handsome and I am glad that Hyorin unnie is marrying someone as good as him.

So far, I'm not yet seeing Jimin. I don't know if Dahyun is coming with him as his plus one, but I'm not really that concerned. My main concern is that how will I talk to that douche.

Speaking of the devil, he just came, but alone. He's not with Dahyun, unlike what I just predicted. He looked rushed since he's sweaty and his bow is not that neat. His hair is somehow all over the place, too.

He faced my direction and we met each other's eyes, but I looked away since Hyorin unnie is walking through the aisle now.

Once Jooyoung oppa lifted Hyorin unnie's veil and kissed her, we all rejoiced. I continuously took pictures using my smartphone and congratulated them. The announcer said that it's picture galore already, so their relatives were up for before their friends.

After each other's families, Hyorin unnie's friends were called. They even called me to join, but I refused. Hwasa unnie was a bit forceful, so she took my wrist and dragged me with them for a picture.

Whenever I look around, my eyes always land on Jimin and he kept on giving those glances back, so I have to pretend that I'm not staring at him.

"Okay, Mr. Kim's friends, please take pictures with the newly weds." We went down and waited for them. We're still going to wait for the announcer to say that we can proceed with the reception.

After that picture taking session, the announcer said something before we can even proceed. "Bachelorettes, please stand in the middle as the bride throws her bouquet." I did not want to partake, but of course, Solar unnie and the others took me with them. I guess they understood the fact that me and Josh aren't really a thing. Hwasa unnie wasn't participating since she's found a husband already.

I wasn't interested in catching the bouquet, but damn.

I caught the freaking bouquet and the first words that I heard was, "Your arrangement." And those words came from Joshua. How great.
