Staring at the beautiful white dress hanging on the mannequin in front of you, the corner of your mouth lifted a little."Am I really getting married today?" You Loudly exhaled, butterflies flying in your stomach, but there was an underlying unease in your gut.

A month ago

"Y/n, this is Taehyung, Kim ajussi's son.(Say your greetings).

Your mom introduced the fine man sitting in front of you. His face was so beautiful that he looked like a sculpture from Greek mythology coming to life. His deep piercing eyes were staring right at you, but there was no warmth at all, only stoney coldness. Your heart was beating so fast & perspiration wetted your chubby palms. Hi,I'm Y/n, Nice to meet you.You stood up & gave a 90-degree bow to the older man & son.

"Ah Y/n-ah,nice to see you again.The last time I see you,you were still a cute toddler. Look at you now, you've grown upto be such a fine young lady. Hahaha!"The man belted out a deep belly laugh, he seemed like a very friendly & nice person, despite his immense wealth.

Your face turned beet red at his compliment, most people who knew you said thet you were a kind-hearted-person, but never once had anyone said that you were a "fine young lady".

Thank you sir. You shyly thanked him as you lowered your head, trying to hide the redness on your round cheeks.

"Taehyung-ah, this is the lady that I've been telling you about. She's the only daughter of my late best friend & partner.You'll marry her next month. now greet your fiance, "Kim ajussi said with a huge smile. on his face, which was mirrored by your mom's equally enthusiastic grin.

Taehyung's brow twitched slightly at his father's notion. He rose from his seat & bowed at you&your mother. Auntie, Y/n, I put myself in your hands.

You and Taehyung kept quiet throughout the rest of the dinner, letting the elders discussed about the wedding plan. All you did was nod in agreement every time they asked for you opinion.

You were not surprised at all by this marriage arrangement, because your mom had been telling you since you hit the age of 18 that your late father had promised to betroth you to his best friend's only son. Obedient as you were, you did not show any objection to the arrangement. Not that you had any man pursuing you anyway, with your sticky r

torso, fat belly, chubby limbs & face as round as that full moon. Whenever you felt down about your appearance, your mother would always tell you that you had beautiful ayes & a cute face, but you knew she was just saying that to make you feel better. Nevertheless, whatever you lacked in the looks department was compensated by your lovable personality & good heart,so you were quite popular in your hometown. "Alright, so the main points have been settled. I'll leave the rest in your good hands then. Please let me know if you need anything from me or my son."Kim ajussi said to your mother as he rose from his seat."I will. Thank you very much for keeping your promise with my late husband. I believe he can truly rest in peace knowing that our daughter is in good hands "

"The pleasure is all mine. I"ll see you both again soon, Good night."

You looked on as Kim ajussi & Taehyung left in their expensive sedan.

"What do you think about Taehyung, Y/n-ah?" Your mother asked you as soon as their cas was out of sight.

"Well, he is a very handsome man, but he looks a bit cold, doesn't he?".

"Maybe he's just nervous. I'm sure he'll warm up to you once he gets to know you better. I can't believe that Kim bongjin still honor his promise to your dad, now that he's become one of the richest men in Korea. Well, at least you no longer need to worry about material things now". Your mom stroked your head gently and smiled. "Eomma, marriage isn't about money, you know? Promise me that we won't take advantage of their wealth. "Frowning you protested your mother's statement.

Yes, my daughter. Let's go home now, it's getting late. "She hooked her arm in your and both of you walked leisurely to the bus stop.

Without warning, Taehyung's handsome face flooded in your mind.

"I hope. I can be good enough wife for him. "You thought as you smiled to yourself.

Hlo potatoes I hope you like it and plse comment me how is this is my first novel and first part plse like and comment and follow me.🥺🥰☺️💜💜

You let out an inadvertent gasp as you looked at your reflection in the mirror.

"Is this really me?"

"Yes honey, it is."The makeup artist chuckled at your reaction," Do you like it?.Is there anything you want to change or-"

"Like it? I love it! Thank you so much for your magical hands, you really are my fairy godmother."You squeezed her hand in gratitude.

"Well then, I'll get going now. Thank you for having me today, you're truly the nicest person I've ever met. Your husband is so fortunate to have you. Good luck with your wedding party." She shook your hand & bid farewell.

You turned around to face the full-length mirror once again, feeling like a princess in your sparkly white gown & full on makeup. Never once in your life had you ever felt beautiful before,with your huge frame & flabby fat. Tonight was the first time ever that you looked into the mirror & thought that you were pretty.

"Well, the shape-wear really does its job. No wonder it cost me two months of salary." You giggled while caressing your flat tummy

"Y/n-ah, are you re-Oh my God!" Your mom exclaimed as she walked into the room & saw you.

"Is this really my daughter? You look stunning!"

Thank you mom. I don't look so bad, do I ?. A huge smile was plastered on your face.

"You look absolutely gorgeous. Come here, I can't believe my daughter is getting married today. If your dad were still here, he-" your mom pulled you into a hug, but the lump in her throat stopped her from saying anything further & a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.

"Eomma don't cry. You're going to make me cry as well." You sniffed & looked up to contain the tears that were threatening to fall.

"Ok ok. Let's go, Your groom is waiting."

She wiped away her tears & smiled at you, before she took your hand & guided you out of the room.

...

. (plse imagine this is you because I don't found another bride pic 😅😅)...

The live orchestra began to play Pachelbel Canon in D, a cue for you & your mother to start entering the ballroom.

"Are you ready Y/n-ah ?" She patted your perspiring cold hand, which was hooked on her arm, gently.

Butterflies were flying in your stomach, you were so nervous that you couldn't utter a single world, so you only nodded at her as a response.

The gate opened up & you gaped at the extravagant decor & flower arrangement. It was nothing like the weddings that you had ever gone to in your hometown.

You put on your best smile and carefully walked on the long platform that seemed to be endless. Your steps wobbled slightly since it was your first time wearing high heels.

As you neared the end of the runway, you saw him. Your groom, impeccably dressed in a black suit. His smooth hair was styled to perfection, his handsome features were illuminated by the dim purple lighting, adding to his etherealness.

You drew a sharp breath, your heartbeat intensified.

"Is this perfect human being really going to be my husband?"

However, your smile was erased in an instant as you got closer to him & you saw his eyes. Cold & full of disdain. He clenched his jaws when your mother gave him your hand.

Kim son-in-law, please take care of my daughter from now on."She smiled at him.

"His replied shortly, his smiled didn't reach his eyes.

The rest of the night went by in a blur. You shook countless hands of people you didn't know, smiled until your mouth felt stiff, took so many pictures that your vision became fuzzy from the camera's. Blitz. Finally the evening was over & it was time for you to go back to your new home."You gon on first, I still have some unfinished business to do first. "Taehyung said to you without looking up from his phone.

"Oh okay how-"

"The driver will drive you there. He's waiting out, slamming the door behind him.

You sighed heavily, this certainly wasn't anything like the wedding nights you read in novels, where the groom & the bride happily entered their room, drunk in love. "Oh well, maybe he's tired. "You forced a smile on your face & walked out to look for the driver

"Woah, am I really gonna be living here from now on?"

(imagine this pic in night )

Your mouth opened in aww as you scanned, the massive & elegant living room.

Mrs, your belongings have been organised in the master bedroom. Please come with me. "The ajumma bowed at you & signalled you to follow her.

"Please just call me Y/n. "You smiled at her.

"Oh no, I can't do that. Young master won't be happy. My name is Kang.

Sunah, you can call me. Kang butler.

This is the master bedroom.

She opened the door for you & let you in. The bedroom looked like it came straight out of a design magazine, it was nothing like your tiny bedroom back home.

"I'll leave you to rest now. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything" She bowed at you & turned around to leave. "His family must be extremely rich." You thought to yourself as you skimmed your finger over the furnitures.

Afraid of breaking anything, you took extreme care when you changed out of your dress into tha modest lingerie your friends from back home bought you. "What were they thinking?" You laughed at your own reflection in the mirror, the pink satin fabric stretched tightly over your abdomen.

"There's no way I'm wearing this!" Shaking your head, You took the skimpy outfit off and changed into your comfortable old pajamas.

"Now, let's just wait for him. "You stretched your arms above your head and sat down on the couch waiting gor your groom to come home.

Hlo potatoes how's this story. Third episode is so long so is going to late in realease and how's this story se like and comment💜🥰

"BAM!"

The sudden loud bang of door closing awakened you. A visibly drunk Taehyung staggered past you & collapsed face down right onto the bed.

You rose from your seat & hesitantly approached him. The stench of alcohol was so strong that you couldn't help but scrunch your nose.

"Taehyung ssi.. Are you okay?" You lightly nudged his shoulder. No response. He seemed to be really out of it, so you knelt down at his feet & carefully took off his shoes. All of a sudden, he turned around, almost kicking your face in the process.

"Taehyung ssi, are you awake?" He only responded with an indecipherable murmur.

You stood up & stared at his sleeping face.

"How is it possible that someone's born with such perfect features? God is definitely not fair."

With eyes still closed, he coughed out loud & tried to loosen the tie around his neck, but he couldn't do it because his hand was feeble due to the alcohol.

"Let me help you.." You were about to untie the knot, when he suddenly opened his eyes.

"What the ****?! Why are you here?! Kang jibsa! KANG JIBSA!!" He pushed you hard until you stumbled backwards a couple of steps & yelled furiously. His angry eyes scanned you from top to bottom, making you feel extremely self-conscious. You didn't know what to say or do in this situation, so you just kept quiet & lowered your head.

"young master, is there something wrong?" Kang jibsa rushed into the room in her night gown, squinting as her eyes were still adjusting to the light

"young master, is there something wrong?" Kang jibsa rushed into the room in her night gown, squinting as her eyes were still adjusting to the light.

"What the **** is she doing in my room?!" He pointed his forefinger vigorously at you, his eyes wide, face hard.

"I- I don't understand. Isn't your wife?" She stuttered in confusion.

"Do you think I can sleep in the same bed with a pig like her?! Are you out of your mind?! Get her out of here, NOW!"

Taehyung screamed full of rage & hurled a pillow at you, hitting one side of your arm. Both you & Kang jibsa trembled in fear seeing his violent action.

"Y-yes Mrs please follow me." Kang jibsa quickly bowed at him & pulled you out of the room.

You were so shocked that you couldn't say a word, your whole body shook uncontrollably. You had already known that he was a cold person, but you didn't expect him to hate you so severely.

"사모님. 사모님." Seeing your frozen expression, Kang jibsa patted your arm to wake you up from your daze.

"H-huh?"

"Please sleep in the guest room tonight. Maybe he's tired & intoxicated, hence the outrage. Call me if you need anything else. good night."

She retreated as soon as she showed you the guest bedroom & glanced at you one last time, frowning, before closing the door behind her. You could see the pity in her eyes & that made you break down in tears. Scared of angering Taehyung again, you muffled your cry with a pillow. Your uncontainable tears dampened the pillow case.

"He's right. I'm unworthy of him. Why did I ever think that he'd accept me as his wife? Me, who's so ugly, fat & disgusting, can never be good enough for him." You thought to yourself that tonight was the lowest moment ever in your life.

One thing you didn't know was that the worse had yet to come.

"KANG JIBSA! KANG JIBSAAA!!"

Startled by the loud scream, you immediately woke up from your restless sleep.

5:34 AM. The dawn was just breaking & the sky was still dark. You rubbed your eyes & quickly ran out of your room.

As soon as you stepped out of the room, your feet stumbled onto something. You looked down & gasped, as you saw your belongings strewn all over the floor in front of you.

" wh-what's wrong?" Kang jibsa was equally shocked as you, seeing the mess Taehyung created.

"Who gave you the permission to put your belongings in my room?! Let me make this clear, you're my wife only on paper. I have no intention to consummate this marriage with you, so know your boundaries. Don't ever step into my room or be within my vicinity when I'm home. And I'm not spending any money on you, in other words, you need to support yourself. Are we clear?!"

He barked at you as he threw a fist full of clothing onto your chest.

(Just imagine this your clothes😅😅)

"T-then why did you agree to marry me?" You mustered all your courage & asked in a tiny voice.

"Why? Because my father threatened to erase my name from his will if I didn't marry you! It was all because of your father, why would he ask my father to make such promise? Are we living in the 17th century? Fucking ridiculous!"

The moment he brought up your father, you lifted your face & stared sternly at him.

"Don't you dare drag my father into this." You said with trembling voice, "I'll leave & divorce you now if you don't want me here."

"Who says I want to divorce you? You need to stay in this house & pretend to be happy in front of our parents. If you dare to tell anyone about the real situation, I will not go easy on you. And your mom. Now go hide somewhere until I'm out of here, although it probably won't be easy with such a huge body." He snickered & turned around to go back to his room.

You thought he couldn't hurt you any more than he already did, but apparently you underestimated him.

Swallowing all your pride & misery, you slowly knelt down on the floor & picked up your stuffs. Tears streamed down your face as you replayed what he said just now inside your head.

"I have to be strong, otherwise he'll hurt eomma." You bit your lower lip to stop it from quivering.

" let me help you." Kang jibsa stooped down beside you & helped you gathered your things.

"thank you." You croaked.

"I know you must have felt very hurt now. I apologize on behalf of him. Actually, he is not a bad person, but his conditions made him become cold & harsh." She said kindly.

"Why is he so mean? Did I do anything wrong? My only fault was going along with this whole marriage arrangement." You sniffed hard & wiped your tears away with your sleeve.

"I don't have the right to tell you about what happened, but I can see that you are a genuine & nice person. I hope your warmth can melt his heart, so don't give up on him, ok? I'm on your side." She smiled kindly at you which caused you to sob even harder, because she reminded you of your mom. You really really missed her now even though you just saw her yesterday, your wedding night felt like it happened a decade ago.

You wanted to call your mom, but she'd know right away that something was wrong if she heard your bitter voice now, so you just did as Taehyung said.

Hide yourself inside the guest room until he was out of the house.

The next few days, you followed the same routine of waking up before the sun rise to make breakfast for yourself, then going back to your room & staying there until around 10 am when Taehyung went to work. The room you were staying in didn't have TV & you didn't have your laptop with you, so what almost killed you was the sheer boredom.

After Taehyung was gone, you'd spend the rest of the day helping Kang jibsa clean the house & garden.

Then, you hid yourself in your room again when he came home until morning.

You were lying down on the bed, thinking about your bleak future when your phone rang.

"Eomma?" You cleared your throat & prepared yourself to sound as cheery as you could.

"Hello mom."

" Y/n how are you? I was going to call you because I missed you so much, but I was afraid that I would bother you newlyweds. Is 김서방 (Kim son-in-law) treating you well?"

Hearing her voice made you want to cry & tell her everything, but then you remembered what Taehyung said & stopped yourself.

"Yes eomma, he's very kind to me. He brought me to to eat at different restaurants & kept bringing me flowers everyday even after I told him not to. Now our house is like a florist. Haha." You used your imagination & created a happy story for your mom.

"Aww, that's so romantic. You need to be nice to him too Y/n ah, okay? Sometimes you're bound to have arguments, you need to be patient & considerate."

"Yes, I know mom."

"And don't delay for too long. I know you youngsters love to spend some time enjoying your newlywed life, but your father-in-law & I can't wait to hold our grandchildren soon." She chuckled.

"Eomma, i- it's still too early to talk about children."

How could you have children when he doesn't even want to look at you?

You thought sadly to yourself.

"Is there a problem honey? Did he say that he didn't want children?" Your slight change of tone was enough for your mom to detect that something wasn't right.

"Oh no no no. He loves children. It's just that we've only been married for less than a week. I mean isn't it too early to talk about children now?" You quickly assured your mom.

"Ahh, you're right. I won't push you, take your time, but don't wait for too long ok? I need to go now, some customers are coming in to the shop. I'll talk to you again soon Y/n ah. I love you."

I love you too mom.

You stared at the blank screen on your phone & tears involuntarily rolled down your cheeks again.

I can't spend the rest of my life being pathetic like this. I need to either give up on him or try to win his heart.

Hlo Potatoes sorry for late post because my exam is going on hehe.
