Love is hard
He looked at me and I should have known what his answer was going to be. He was my dad, he was impossible and never changed his mind. Why was I sad that he said no? He does this all the time, he always wanted to be in control of my life, well not anymore because from now on I was going to determine how my life was going to go.
I stared at my phone waiting for Min Jun to call me. Maybe I made a mistake, I never should have given him my business card, I should have gotten his number and reached out to him on my own. But that would be desperate and I didn't want to look desperate although I really am.I took a deep breath and kept waiting for my phone to ring, a new number to flash across the screen, something, anything. No one ever called me so I knew immediately it rang, it had to be Min Jun. But there was nothing, not a mistake dial. An error or a prank call nothing.Should I have offered more money, if he didn't take a hundred thousand, how was I sure he was willing to be trapped with me for more money. I never even inquired if he was married to someone, what if he had a wife or a girlfriend who he loved so much? I just threw myself at him and offered to pay him money for him to get married to him.I probably hurt his pride but he was too much of a respectable man to insult me or deny the request. He was not like my dad who would have been straight forward an rejected the money. He was probably as rich as we were and could afford much more money than I was offering. I shook my head, that can't be right. He was fired from him job, the first time I met him. So he probably needed money.It was more accurate to think he was in a relationship or married to someone he loved. I was making a drastic and stupid decision. Maybe I should have listened to dad and let him handle things like he always did. Dad never made any mistakes and was always right. I am sure he would have picked the perfect man for me."No Mei, you can't let your father keep controlling your life," I sighed. I drifted off to sleep while thinking of everything, if I was wrong or just f I needed to give dad the chance to keep controlling my life. He wasn't in control of my life if I was the one giving him the chance to dictate the affairs in it, right??My thoughts and dreams were the only thing I had full control over in my life, I could end my story beautifully well in my head and live a happily ever after with my Prince Charming. I got to make decisions dad or mom would never let me make but today even my dreams were against me. All I could think of was dad taking control of everything. I didn't want him in my head but he wasn't leaving.My phone rang and brought me to reality. I squinted my eyes adjusting to the light, I picked up my phone and answered the call. "Good day," I said."This is Mei Xing a representative of the Lin's firm , we have your best interest at heart and is willing to take your case to court with the help of our best lawyers. Please state your case so I can book a date for you to come to the firm for a meeting," I recited and waited for the person's response but got none."Hello," I said calling the attention of the person on the line. "Are you paid to say that?" He asked and laughed. I stared at my screen realizing who I was talking to. Min Jun just called me, this wasn't my work phone. I just thought he was client. He must think I am so weird. "Hello," he called out but I stayed client. "Mei Xing," he called out and I panicked, I ended the call and stared at the blank screen.Why did I end the call? If he didn't think I was weird earlier, he must think I am now. I called him immediately and watched it ring. "Hello," he said, I panicked again and ended the call…Related chapter

I stared at my blank phone and wondered if he would pick up the call if I called him again. I was going to try to talk to him this tie and not panic. I took a deep breath and dialled his number. It kept ringing but he wasn't picking up. I can't blame him for not wanting to pick up the call after I called him twice and didn't say anything. He was clearly not as desperate as I was. He didn't need me to marry him but I needed to marry him and I needed to do it soon.My second appointment with the doctors were coming soon and although I don't plan on ever going to any of the appointments, I needed to make sure my parents accepted him with no questions asked. "I guess I can wait a while you think," I heard a familiar voice and immediately snapped me out of my thoughts. I stared at my screen unable to form words and making sure I didn't end the call. "I guess you are still thinking," he said again and I smiled.Why was I smiling? He couldn't see me smile. "I guess I will have to call you ag

I lay on my bed and pretended to be asleep while Dad kept calling my name. I have no idea why I laid on my bed but I wanted to avoid Dad. If I had to sit with him and talk like we did earlier it could lead to me exposing my secrets and telling him everything about Jin Min. "Mei Xing," he called out again. His voice got louder and calmer as he got closer to my room and I could finally hear his footsteps.I wasn't good at acting so I turned to the wall, he wouldn't be able to see my face and I could pretend to be asleep and not get caught. A faint knock on the door, a barely audible creaking sound of my room door opening, and a weird feeling of being watched. Dad was in my room "Mei Xing," he called out again and I hummed. Was that too loud? Did he catch me in the act? Does he think I'm asleep? Or is he trying to wake me up? I ignored him and my thoughts and tightly shut my eyes while trying not to move. "Mei Xing," he called out softly.I ignored his request to wake me up and patiently
365 days to love Wanting answers
Friday was in three days, I was going to meet Min Jun for the third time, I was scared and nervous. I know I have met him twice but this time it is different, we are going on a date. I do not have to impress him, it's not a normal date, it is a business date, I shouldn't be so nervous. You have to impress your client in a business date, right? My thoughts were throwing me into a state of panic. I groaned and went to my bed. Sleeping was my only escape from my thoughts and I just had to take the easy way out."Min Jun," I yelled. "What?" he asked me with an angry face. "Why are you so upset?" I asked him. He looked at me like I just said something stupid. "Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked him. "You really do not know, you really don't understand what you did wrong?" he asked me getting angrier. He was yelling and I was on the verge of tears, I had no idea what I was doing wrong. "You know what, this is pointless, if you do not know what you did, then I suggest you forget a

I was not going to compromise my date with my Min Jun just because my dad decided to be as stubborn as always. As I turned to walk away from my parents with a bunch of blueberry in my hands, I waited for my parents to call me back. I didn't want to leave yet, I needed more blueberries."Mei," mom and dad called. Well mom called me sweetly and dad yelled my name. "Do whatever you want to do Mei," Dad replied. "Thank you sir," I yelled. I turned back to the table and grabbed another bunch. "I just needed another one," I smiled and ran up the stairs before dad decided to change his mind.My bed was always my best friend but I finally appreciated her when I got diagnosed. "I should have gotten more blueberries or at least ate dinner before I decided to leave the dining table, I am so stupid," I groaned and laid on my bed popping berries into my mouth. Friday better be worth my stupid behaviours.I screamed when I found mom by the door. "Mom you scared me," I said. "Sorry, I brought you be

I had no idea how a date was going to go. I have never been on a date, never been out with a man, at least not alone with a man. I have been on a family date with Mom and Dad. The only man I am allowed to go out with. I should be more worried about my appointment with the doctor, my first cancer treatment "Yippee!!" my life couldn't get any wor… I paused and thought of how things ended up worse whenever you thought they couldn't. Things couldn't get any better.My alarm started ringing and I knew it was time to get out of bed. I stared at it and watched it ring, "You really aren't doing your job you know," I said and remained on my bed. The alarm kept ringing and as much as I tried to pretend it wasn't ringing, it kept getting louder and more annoying. "What does a girl do to have some time to herself?" I whispered and finally stood up to turn off the alarm.There goes my sleep.I walked into my bathroom and washed my sleepy face and brushed my teeth. "Miss Mei, breakfast is ready," I

His immediate response to my text made me feel tingly. The little act made me feel important. I was about to read the message when the doctor's office door came open and the people in it came out. What were my parents doing here? How did they get here before me? "What are you guys doing here?" I blurted my question. My parents caught my gaze and ignored me. "Miss Mei," the doctor called my name and invited me into his office. I put my phone in my bag and walked into the office. The doctor pointed at a seat but remained by the door. "Why are my parents here?" I asked him curiously. I was more concerned about my parent's presence than where he wanted to stand. "They are here for an appointment with you," he said and my parents walked in.I was not going to admit that I wanted them here but I was so happy they were here. I was starting to contemplate my decision of telling them not to tag along but my intrusive parents just had to tag along anyway. I didn't complain about their presenc

"Miss are you ready to order?" another waiter came to meet me, "No I am waiting for someone," I dismissed politely. "Can you tell me what's going on outside?" I asked. "Oh a young man is trying to get in without a reservation," the waiter told me. "Oh, thanks," I said.I stood up and decided to investigate myself, I also needed to call Min Jun. He was ignoring my calls. "Min," I said. He looked at me and turned to the waiter who was holding him. "See, now do I need reservations?" he asked and shook the waiter's hand of him."I have been trying to call you all night," I said to him. "I was stuck," he said. I led him to our table and we got seated. "My bad, I should have waited for you outside and I am so sorry I kept you waiting, I had to go for chemotherapy," I said. He nodded and picked up the menu."So what are you ordering?" he asked. "Probably steak," I said. "I guess I'll have that too," he said. I waved to the waiter and gave our orders. "So huh, how was your day?" I asked him.

I stood staring at Min Jun's disappearing body. Why was he suddenly so angry? All I did was suggest he wore better clothes. "Miss we have to leave?" her driver said to her. She looked at the dark and then at her driver. "Let's go home," she said and got into the car.I stared at my dad's figure standing by the door waiting for us. The driver left me in front of my father and drove off to the garage. "Hey Father," I said and attempted to go inside. "Do you realize what the time is?" her father asked her. "Apa, let me go in," she whined. "It is 10 Pm, you were expected at home by 8 pm," Dad said to me."I got the chemotherapy to please you and Mom, staying out a little longer should be my reward," I argued. "Who was he?" Dad asked. "Who was who?" I asked. "The man you were with?" Dad asked."The man I am getting married to. And I would like to keep our relationship private," I defended. "Who are his parents?" Dad asked me. "It's cold," I whined. "Answer me," Dad yelled. "My head hurts,"
