Marriage, well that's complicated and beautiful as well, something what every girl waits for, that's when she actually meets the prince charming of her life and hopes to stay happily ever after.
I'm Park Amy, shy, introvert and not very talkative. 154cm in height, ah, quiet short right! Can't help! Well, happy - happening life is what I had, childhood was the best, didn't have any siblings so, the only kid basically!
Just moved back to South Korea, Seoul city is where I was born and bought up and after high school I decided studying abroad for graduation. Boston Girls College. I get a Scholarship since I was a good at studies, a nerd basically.
Never encountered with guys much, had crushes on a few, Parties.. well yeah, did party a little but never became the party animal, somewhere wanted to be though but Shyness and The Awkward Amy inside me never left me loose. Yeah, my boring life. I was a good cook though, since that's something I loved doing in my free time.
Guys... Um, that's complicated! I never had much interactions with them, in high school I was a part of the Dance team which had only girls and my class did have boys but... I never liked any. There were seniors though, hot seniors.... but why would they like us! Tried kissing my crush but it ended up being a dream! Ugh... Yeah, I've literally been single all my life. Maybe I was too picky, I wanted to explore but... I regret I didn't.
I loved my family, my mom was my guiding light and Dad... he was more like a friend to me. I turned 21, done with my graduation. Happy... Excited to meet them but somewhere I got disappointed when nobody even came to receive me at the airport. Sad! Yes, I was.
I met my parents finally .... and They, made me meet SeoJoon....
Complicated enough? Well, yeah!
Who's he!
He was the one I was supposed to get married to, wealthy, high class... We weren't rich ever so Mom always wanted someone who could give me the best I could ever have. You know, Typical Loving Moms.!!!! He met mom daily in the church and that's how, she knows him.
According to Mom SeoJoon was the best man for me, to be honest, I didn't actually want to get married this early but I had to listen since they wanted this. Dad just met me for a little while and left. Well, that was sad.
I met SeoJoon at a cafe (because of Mom) and that was the first meet, he was smart, funny and kind of caring, maybe. This was actually the first time I met him so basically I didn't know whether I was sure he was the man I wanted to be with for the rest of my life or not, wherein I saw most of the time he was checking his phone too, because he was a businessman and had a lot of work to do maybe? I didn't mind much.
I came back home and mom was excited, "So how is my son-in-law?" I grinned at her, "we just met for the first time mom! He was fine, he's good looking and I don't know anything else about him though, let's see what happens."
Mom wanted my marriage to take place as soon as possible and I asked her why was she in so much of hurry.
That's when something inside me broke.
I came to know that my parents have been fighting, not staying together since more than a year, Dad's planning for another marriage as well and they didn't tell me anything before so that I don't get distracted and now, they are going to get Divorced.
I was shattered. What happened between them when I wasn't here?
Happening and cute was my life and look!!! Where am I now! Getting into an arranged marriage, my parents getting divorced, isn't it a little too much.
Due to all these problems that were coming up one after another, my mom was worried as she just wanted me to be happy with someone as soon as possible so that I don't be alone later. She knew I loved Dad but, he wasn't the same man anymore infact, he seemed to care about the other woman and her kids.
I didn't have any choices left. Everything was happening so fast.
I wasn't even ready for a marriage but I still agreed. I just wanted Mom to be happy since now, she's totally alone because Dad already has someone.

I got a message on my high school group. I unlocked my phone to check what it was and saw there was a Reunion organized. I did want to meet all my friends. I was dying to meet my girl group.
It was 11pm already. A long heavy day for me, a lot of changes to digest
While settling all my clothes in the cupboard, I picked a black laced dress which was up to knee length. I decided to wear it tomorrow for the ceremony.
