The noise of the ticking clock makes Jieun realize that she was wasting her every second. She never planned to come here in the first place but her parents force her to and she didn't have any other option but to agree. Jieun wants to disappear, wants to be hidden just like her name's meaning.
" Yeah our Jieun is very talented too, she also learned to play an instrument Right Jieun? " her father praised making Jieun snap back to reality.
" uh..oh...ye..s " that's all she mumbled offering the person on the other side of the table a fake smile.
" I think this would be a perfect match, what do you think? " the person cried out while taking a bit of his food from the plate.
" From me, it's a yes " Jieun father exclaimed, " we are going to be companion soon "
Jieun eyes widen hearing those word, "What? But I don't want to marry " she got up and yelled at her parents.
"Jieun behave yourself "
"But-" she got interpreted by her mom.
" Don't be so childish we know what's good for you honey" her mother holds her hands tightly which make Jieun hissed in pain.
Jieun sighed in disbelief thinking how can her parents set her marriage without her even knowing, she doesn't want to get marry this soon not with someone she doesn't love.
" Umm Can I talk to Jieun for a while? " the person finally spoke, Jieun parents nodded their head as an answer and both their parents live them alone in the living room.
" Hi Jieun I'm Jihoon," the boy next to her claimed offering her a smile.
" Get to the point " She coldly said. " Why do you want to marry in the first place huh? "
Jihoon shrugged.
" Well because of my dad I can't go against him even if I want to "
" So you have no problem marrying someone you doesn't even know ” Jieun furrowed her brows.
The boy didn't say anything and smile at the girl. Confusion was visible in Jieun's feature.
" I know you Jieun, You know me...we know each other very well " Jihoon let out a laugh which was nowhere near genuine. A bit of disappointment can be noticed in his voice.
“ never thought I would be forced to marry you idiot ” Jieun blurted out in anger.
“ idiot? you sure? Cause I was always the 1st ranker in our class. ” teased Jihoon.
“ Stop with your bragging already ”
“ but don't you think it's fun, I've never imagine marrying my own best friend ” The boy began again leaning on the seat he was sitting, he offer a smirk to jieun.
“ It's not funny Jieun I don't want it to happen, think about it will you willing to spend your whole life with someone you don't like ”
“ No... I don't ” Jihoon shakes his head her voice crack, eyes refusing to meet the girl's.
“ then please denied this proposal, please ” Jieun requested, tears blurring her visions.
Jihoon think for a minute and nodded " Okay, I'll think about it "
Jieun raised her head to see the boy in front of her, " thank you, thank you so much " the boy chuckled and blinked few times at the action of Jieun.

" Are you guys done talking " a voice spoke behind Jieun. She nodded in answer.
" So Jihoon what is your answer " Jihoon looked at Jieun who looked at him, eyes full of hope. He smirked sadly before answering,
" Yes... I agree " he turned to face Jieun, she was shocked by his words " what do you mean by you agree " she mouthed of course she was shocked and annoyed by the boy's answer. Jihoon didn't say anything instead of that he just stared at her with blank expression.
Jieun felt betrayed. " What about you " Jihoon's dad asked.
" I do n— " as she was about to complete her sentence, she got interrupted by her mom.
" We agree for this as well " her mother cried out, once again holding Jieun's hand tightly indicating her to stay quiet.
" That's nice! We shall leave now " the boy's father hugged his friends. Both of them bid there goodbye.
Jieun was burning with anger, " why didn't you let me spoke? " she almost yelled at her mom.
" Calm down, you know it will be beneficial for our company "
"Calm down? You are forcing me to tied up with someone I don't even love for the rest of my life just because of your own good " she blurted out trying to control the tears that almost fall from her eyes, " I KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME I'M NOT A 5 YEAR OLD KID " and with she rush towards her room.
She locked the door and sat on her bed. And just like that the first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. Jieun bent forward where she sat on the bed and pressing her palms to the sheet, she began to cry.
