The ray of the sun streams into Yumi's room through the window, illuminating the space with brightness. Yumi is laying down on the floor, her body marked by bruises and wounds, a sign of all the pains she is going through.

The door of the room swings open with a force, revealing her mom with a menacing look and a bucket of icy cold water, she strides closer to Yumi and splashes the water onto her body.

The cold water makes contact with the briuses and wounds creating a sharp pain and stinging sensation on Yumi's body. The sudden uncomfortable and painful sensation wakes Yumi up with a shocked expression from her vulnarable state.

"Yah! Wake up you bitch!" Her mom kicks on her already bruised body making her hiss in the unbearable pain.

"Get up and clean the mess in your room. *She touches a little bit of blood on Yumi's face* Ew even your blood is disgusting." She cleans her hand on the black tshirt Yumi is wearing and then leaves the room.

Tears are streaming down her cheeks mixing with the darkness of her eyes. Her mom's words, her dad's words and all the beatings of yesterday flashes in front of her eyes and roams in her mind.

With tears still streaming down her face she gets up and wipes them away with a trembling hand. In the bathroom she gazes at her reflection on the mirror and brushes her hand against the bruises tenderly. After some moments she takes out the first aid kit from the drawer and begins treating them with a heavy heart inside.

What am I gonna do now? I don't wanna leave Namjoon. He is my everything. Without him, I'm nothing. But my parents are gonna force me anyway even if I say 'no'. She thinks and breaks into tears again.

First I need to meet him. It's been so many days since I last talked to him. He is probably angry now. I need to talk to him. I should find an excuse to get out of this house. She decides and finishes treating the bruises.

She comes out of the bathroom after taking a shower and cleans the room. She heads downstairs and finds her parents on the couch with anger and fury in their eyes.

Her dad walks towards her and grabs her jaw tightly "Listen I don't want your opinion anymore. We have decided you.are.gonna.marry.him." He says each words clearly.

Yumi can't say a word now, there are so many thoughts going on her mind...

What? I have to hurry before it's too late. I need to go to Namjoon. I have to tell him about this. But what will happen if I tell him? Will he give me a chance to explain? What if he doesn't?

Right now Yumi is waiting for Namjoon with a heart racing with anxiousness and nervousness. Every second is feeling like an eternity as she anticipates their meeting, longing to feel the comfort of his presence.

Finally after some minutes the gate opens and a wave of students spills out. She loses herself in the crowd, desperately searching for that familiar face. Suddenly she collides with a tall boy "Sorry." She mumbles barely giving a glance at the shocked boy who is none other then Namjoon, the person she is needs the most now.

Namjoon gently pulls Yumi away from the crowd into a quiter corner, his brow furrowing with concern. "What are you doing here? Where have you been all these days?" His trembles slightly, with so many thoughts racing through his mind and worry is visible in his eyes.

Without thinking she wraps her arms around him, feeling the warmth and safety he provides. The weight of her parents' decision is too heavy for her heart to handle and now she is struggling to find words.  In Namjoon's eyes, she can see the love and undeniable worry, both are touching her soul. How can she shatter his pure heart with the truth?

Namjoon senses something is wrong and without a moment of hesitation he also wraps his arms around her. "What happened, baby?" He asks softly, his fingers caresses her hair with tender affection.

After a minutes of silence, she pulls away from the embrace, her hand trembles as she takes his.  Their eyes lock and a wind of emotion runs through them. I can't do this, but I have to. I feel like I'm trapped in a storm which I can't escape. Just remember, my heart will always belong to you and no one else. She thinks as her hearts gets heavier.

"Namjoon I.... I have to tell you something." Her voice trembles under the weight of the emotions.

"What is it baby?" He smiles at her, and his dimples appears, looking both cute and ethereal on his face. I won't be able to see this dimpled smile anymore, the smile that used to comfort and heal my heart. She thinks.

"Namjoon my parents arranged my marriage to another boy." She looks down as painful tears begins to fill her eyes.

His smile fades away and his eyes widen in shock. He leaves her hands, his heart racing as he processes her words. "Wait, what do you mean?" His voice cracks in the middle.

"My parents arranged my marriage to another boy and *She pauses as she controls her tears* I-I had to agree on that."

"What?! What do you mean? Huh? Then what about us? Answer me!" He grips her shoulder tightly and shakes her. The sadness and the pain build up inside him, trasforming into anger.

He releases her shoulder and turns away, his jaw clenched tightly "Right! You were ignoring me these days probably because you were having fun with your fiancè. *He smirks in pain* I was nothing to you. You cheated on me."

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞." He says the final words before turning away, leaving her behind, unaware of the tears streaming down her face.

What was I expecting? I knew I had to let go of this love. Why am I crying when I'm the one who broke his heart not him. I have no right to cry. But I can't stop myself.

In the darkness of the room, he is sitting down and tears are streaming down his face. The sadness and pain is wrapping him like a heavy blanket as he is keep whispering the same sentences...

"Wasn't my love enough for her that now she needs to marry someone else?"

"Why did she do that? I loved her so much."

In a corner of the dark room, she is sitting on the floor with her back against the wall. Tears are falling down her cheeks as she is keep recalling those happy memories with him, those moments which now feels like out of reach.

"I lost my only happiness. My everything."

"I lost him"
