THIRD PERSON POV

"Seongjoo, you... you love me... right?" A young woman asked a young man. They were both in their mid-20s. And they held hands as the young man smiled.

"Of course I do, Yeongji! I love you with all my heart, you know you're the only woman I love!" Seongjoo replied as he looked at the woman.

Song Yeongji. She was the woman this young man desired to be with until he dies. He was her first love, and it was the same for the boy too.

They met in highschool, and they were college students now, getting ready to graduate.

"But... Seongjoo. What if your parents don't approve of us?" She asked as she hung her head low.

"Then I'll make sure to convince them that you're the right one for me. You're the only one I truly love, Yeongji and I'll show them that I love you!" He replied, looking into his lover's eyes and Yeongji smiled softly, before looking at him.

"Then... please. Promise me, that you'll never forget me, even if... even if we part ways. Or even if God seperated us," Yeongji said and Seongjoo looked at her before looking down.

"Yeongji, we're never going to split up! So there's no way I'm forgetting you! Please!" Seongjoo said as he placed his hand on hers.

"I hope what you're saying won't keep my hopes up high. I trust you Seongjoo, and I'll support you in whenever you go," the young woman replied and Seongjoo smiled.

"Oh, I'm so lucky to have you in my life. But I already told you, my dream is to create a company and make sure it stands at the top of Korea. And I'm going to make you my wife," Seongjoo said as he placed her hand on his cheek, looking at her.

"As long as I'm with you, that would be enough for me, I'll stay with you through thick and thin," Yeongji smiled warmly at her lover.

"Y-yeon... Yeongji!" Seongjoo sobbed as he wiped his tears.

"What? What is it... Seongjoo? Why are you crying? You know it makes me sad too," Yeongji replied as Seongjoo's arms were wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly as he was seated, his head resting on her stomach.

"I... I... I'm sorry!" He cried as he wiped his tears.

"What are you sorry for, Seongjoo? You can tell me anything," Yeongji asked.

"I.... I don't want to get married," Seongjoo sobbed and Yeongji's eyes widened.

"What...." she trailed off.

"My parents... they've already set me up with this woman. And I don't want to get married to her! You know I only love you!" Seongjoo said as he closed his eyes.

"Why... would your parents set you up with another woman? Didn't we already.... tell them?" She asked and Seongjoo nodded.

"They... didn't like you. So they got another woman for me, and her name is Sehye. But I don't want her! I want you! Only you! Or they'll drop me off school and I'll never make it!" Seongjoo said with his eyes full of sadness.
