Paper Rings {Racer SeokJin}

3 ~ Jeju

"Oh my god.. aunty.. are you serious?"

"Ofcourse, I am." Kyunmi said reaching out for her hand and gently holding it. "I know about your feelings for him. I know you like my Seokjin."

"S-since when?" Hana asked feeling embarrassed for being caught simping on Seokjin.

"Since the day you decide to study in London because his father was sending him there." Kyunmi said smiling, gently squeezing Hana's hand. "I like you Hana, you are bold, beautiful and smart. You have everything I look for in a girl, for my son. Only you can fix this and bring us all happiness. Marry my son, Hana."

"H-how can I say no, aunty.." Hana said blushing hard. "It will be my dream come true to marry your son. But.."

"But?" Kyunmi asked.

"I don't think jin likes me as a woman." Hana said feeling sad. "All these years I've tried everything to impress him. But he still considers me as just a friend."

"Don't worry about that, leave that on me. Seokjin can't say no to his father, kyunwoo is very strict with him." Kyunmi said "now that he is looking for a girl, I'm sure he is going to love it when I'll talk about you with him. You and jin make the perfect match!"

"Thanks a lot aunty. You don't know how grateful I am to you." Hana said, getting up. Ready to leave. "I can't wait to tell about this to my mother!"

"Why don't you invite your mom for dinner on my behalf? This friday?" Kyunmi asked. "Jin and his father's anger will cool down by that time. I'll talk about your marriage then."

"That's a great idea!" Hana said "I'll see you on friday then."

Kyunwoo called his secretary after jin left the study room.

"Book me a flight to Jeju." He told his secretary. "I want to leave tomorrow."

And so he left the next day without informing anyone in his family. They all assumed he must have left on a buisness trip. He was a very busy man and most of his buisness trips and meetings were planned in urgent emergencies. He went all the way from Seoul to Jeju. To meet someone. A girl who holds a very specially place in his heart, a soft corner.

Y/N, 25, daughter of kyunwoo's late childhood friend. When he had just started his buisness, before he even got married. Y/n's mother who was his children friend helped him a lot. Lend him money and when his buisness took off, he moved to Seoul. But a few days before she died, he returned back. But found her at the verge of dying. That day he made a promise to her. That he will take good care of her only child, her daughter.

Kyunwoo has been sending y/n money every month. After her mother's death, poor girl almost became homeless. But thanks to kyunwoo, she had some money in her pocket and a roof over her head. She couldn't even graduate from college. Her mother's departure has left her shattered and alone. She is a vey simple girl who believes in peace and humanity. Always helping poor people and animals. She is a pure soul, an angel on this earth full of devils. And there can be no one else but y/n to fix kyunwoo's broken family.

Y/n was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a knock on her door. She lives on Jeju Island, in her mother's small house.

"Kyunwoo uncle?!" Y/n said feeling surprised yet happy to see him at the door.

"How are you doing, my dear?" He asked as he hugged her, patting her head.

"I'm fine. You have come at the right time. I was just cooking, please sit. I'll bring the food." Y/n said and he sat down on the floor which had an old small carpet layed out. And a small wooden table in the middle. She brought out dishes one by one. And served him.

"You should've informed me before that you'd be visiting." Y/n said eating with him. "I would've cooked your favourite dishes."

"Everything you cook is my favourite. Your cooking is delicious." He responded. Suddenly he started to cough really bad. Y/n immediately poured him some water. He took a tiny case out of his coat's inner pocket. Y/n saw that it was filled with tablets. He took one out and drank it down with some water. But his coughing didn't stop until the next few minutes. He took his napkin out, covering his mouth. Coughing for one last time.

"Uncle.. what's that?" Y/n asked. She noticed that there was blood on the napkin after he removes it from his mouth. "Is that b-blood?"

Kyunwoo took a deep breath and drank some more water. "Y/n, my child. I have something to tell you.." y/n gulps, feeling nervous but also scared. Kyunwoo had just coughed out blood. "I'm dying. I don't have much time left with me. But I can't leave everything behind. I need your help.."

"Sure, uncle. I will help you with everything I can." Y/n said.

"Please, marry my son!" He said. Y/n's face went blank listening to what he had just said. "Please don't say no, this is my last wish before I die. There is no cure to my illness. And I can't leave you behind like this."

"But.. how can I do that? Marry someone I've never met? I don't think I'm even ready for this, uncle." Y/n said "why don't you go abroad for treatment?"

"I've tried everything, there's no cure. My family doesn't know about this. They will break down if they find out." He responded, reaching out for her hand and holding it. "Please y/n, marry my son. I'm only asking you this for all of our good sake. I know you hold the potential, only you can be my daughter in law!"

"But uncle-"

"Please, y/n. Please make a promise to me. You will marry him and will not give up on my family!" He said "this is my only last wish.. before I die."
