Habit 8

우리 엄마는 나 때문에 화병으로 돌아가셨다. 내가 주인공이 돼야 할 결혼식의 신부가 박형식의 파트너로 바뀐 순간 엄마는 숨이 멎어 들었고 그렇게 내 결혼식은 엄마의 장례식이 되어버렸다. 박형식은 그럼에도 결혼식을 강행했고 아예 나더러 강지연 손에 반지를 끼워주라고 했다. “얼른 끼워줘, 식 끝나면 내가 다 설명할게.” 나는 그런 박형식을 무시하며 엄마의 시체를 안고 호텔을 나왔다. 저녁 8시가 되자 신부가 바뀐 결혼식도 원만히 끝났는지 강지연이 인스타에 피드를 하나 올렸는데 거기에 좋아요가 수십만 개나 달려있었다. “오늘 드디어 원하던 사람과 결혼했어요, 다들 와주셔서 너무 고맙고 또 본인 주제를 알고 알아서 비켜주신 그분한테도 고맙네요.” “사랑받을 자격이 없는 사람은 사랑해주지 말아야지.” 그 피드 아래에 달린 박형식의 댓글을 본 나는 차디찬 영안실에서 둘을 위해 '좋아요'를 눌러주며 “오래도록 행복하세요.”라는 댓글을 달았다. 그리고는 엄마의 유골함을 안고 짐을 정리하러 집으로 돌아갔는데 그곳에서 하필 내가 산 소파에 앉아 서로를 부둥켜안고 키스를 하고 있는 박형식과 강지연을 보게 되었다.

"Who are you?", I asked. "How can you be so dumb", he replied. "Nice name but a bit long for my liking", that was me. And all I got was an angry look. "What! You could have just answered my question without any stupid remarks.", I have no idea from where this audacity came in me. His eyes were red and at that moment I knew he is from some higher order family who have no habit of listening to comebacks. "It's not tough to see how dumb you are to treat the animal before even looking for the rider.", he said with so much arrogance that even the horse made a sound which clearly meant 'I WANT TO PUNCH HIM'. "If a rider doesn't know how to ride without getting hurt, I guess it's more worth saving the horse. It can at least have a master who knows how to ride properly and be productive.", I said with a smirk. "You clearly don't know who I am or else you would have not just saved me first but also would have shown respect.", he shouted at me. What an arrogant jerk! At that moment I knew we hate each other, but fate had some other plans for us!

Marcus Adrian Lee. Adrian. Just saying your name makes my heart race so fast that I could barely breathe. I never wanted to fall for you...but I did. It was a cliché really, but I just couldn't help myself. I'm not sure if was your subtle charm or that certain sadness in your voice that drew me to you but all I know is that you're a habit that I could never kick. Will you ever see me the way that I saw you? Will I ever have the courage to finally admit my unrequited feelings? And will the day ever come when I'll finally be able to hear the words, "Madison Rain Rivera, I am in love with you, too."? Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

My parents, Kenneth Lewis and Autumn Farrow, don't believe that I'm sick. They pin me with looks of contempt and ridicule. "You still haven't stopped that lying habit of yours even though you're all grown up. You even learned how to blackmail us with your death. "If you want to die, do it sooner.
