Rebelling
Rebelling was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Every time I looked at my driver, he seemed to want to drive me back home but I wasn't ready to leave, dad gave me an hour but I can be out here for as I want to be.
"Miss your dad is worried," my driver informed me. "Don't worry about him, he'll get over it," I said alright I knew that wasn't true. Dad never gets over anything, he was always so serious. "I may lose my job miss," the driver said and I nodded."We can leave now," I said and got into the car. I didn't want him to lose his job because of me and I didn't want to get another driver, he has been my driver for as long as I can remember and he understands me. I wouldn't want him to lose his job and make dad get me another driver who'll always report my affairs to dad.As I stood facing the front door, my heart kept beating fast, was I ready to face dad after ignoring his calls all day and coming home later than I was meant to? I raised my hands to pull the door open but the door opened on its own and dad was standing behind it with his usual stern and scary look."Dad," I said and smiled. "Where are you headed?" I asked him. "To the door," he replied and opened the door wider for me to walk in. I thanked him and walked into the living room. "I thought you were leaving," I asked him immediately after he closed the door. He looked at me and directed me to sit down. I looked at the chair, looked back at him, smiled, and sat down."Dad," I called out when I sat down. He looked at me, he was not impressed. I adjusted my seating position but nothing was making me comfortable, I just wanted to be away from my dad's accusing eyes. "Dad," I called out to him."What?" He asked me. "You asked me to sit," I said. "Yes, is there something more important you should be doing?" He asked me. I shook my head aggressively. "Maybe talking to a man?" He asked me. Did he find out about Min Jun, did he catch me? Was he aware of my lies? Did my driver tell him about Min Jun? A lot of questions ran through my mind."Appa," I was ready to start explaining when he told me to be quiet. He also remained quiet for a while but when I opened my mouth to tell him everything about Min Jun and the whole marriage proposal but he yelled "You are you rebelling against me? Why did you stay out for so long? You were meant to be out for an hour,".I smiled, he was oblivious to the fact that I was planning to get into an arranged marriage with an absolute stranger. "What's so funny?" He asked me. I shook my head and looked at my hands avoiding his eyes. "Are you rebelling against me?" He asked me but I didn't reply. "Mei Xing," he yelled my name and I looked up instantly."Why are you doing this now? Can't you see I and your mom want you safe?" He asked me. "Mei, please follow my instructions, the world isn't safe and I am just trying to protect you. I and your mom are just trying to keep you safe. I am trying to give you a good life," dad said pleading with me."What is the point of it all? I am going to die, it doesn't matter that you have protected me all your life, right now it doesn't matter," I paused and looked at dad. "Therapy and nothing is going to give me a normal life. I am going to die. At least let me do what I want to do while I am still alive," I yelled angrily. I walked to him, knelt, placed my head on his thighs, and held his leg."Please let me do this ," I pleaded with tears rolling down my eyes. He looked at me, I wanted him to understand me, I wanted him to give me the chance I needed for the first time in my life. Give me the chance to be an adult, let me grow up and make mistakes, like everyone else.He looked at me and said…Related chapters

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

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

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.

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.
