Tzuyu's POV:

"Here." Mr. Lee poured tea on my cup.

"Thank you." I slightly bowed my head and covered my mouth while drinking the given tea.

"What is it Mr. Lee?" I put down my cup as I crossed my legs.

"I heard the commotion downstairs." my mind went blank. I stared at nothing for a while.

"Are you okay Ms. Chou?" Mr. Lee furrowed his brows, but not too much. He still kept professional.

"I don't mind the commotion downstairs. I'm sure, they will be tired someday." I faint a smile.

"Well, how about we make a deal."

"About what?" I don't understand him. He suddenly make out a deal out of nowhere. Nonetheless, I wanted to know what it is.

"Wonwoo."

"Why my brother all of a sudden?" why is he dragging Wonwoo Oppa here? What does it have to do with him?

"We talked about it last time right?" he raised a brow.

Not the slow-witted person I am, for sure he's talking about the marriage.

"Please, help me convince him to marry my daughter."

What is he doing?

My blood boiled for a second.

"Mr. Lee, you know I'm not the type of person who forces someone. It depends on them." I sipped my tea.

"Help me, Ms. Chou. It will be too late." he begged.

"Mr. Lee." I sighed.

"I'm sorry. I can't do it." I put down my cup and stood up. When my back faced him, he said something weird.

"Perhaps do you know that he has a girlfriend?"

A what? A girlfriend?

I didn't look back. As I just said, I'm not slow-witted. Wonwoo Oppa is smart. I'm sure, it has something to do with this arranged marriage.

"Yes. I know." I look back at him with confidence.

I'm such a good actress.

"That's why I won't interfere in his business. He has his own life, and so do I. I'm sorry Mr. Lee." I bowed and went out from the room.

"Ms. Chou are you hungry? We should eat in the cafeteria now." Mingyu asked me.

I still can't process what's happening right now. Unknowingly, I nod my head. I tried my best to shook all of my confusion, but it still lingers in my mind.

"Here is your food Ms. Chou." I didn't realize that I'm now sitting in the cafeteria. It feels like I just woke up in a deep dream.

"Thank you." I grabbed the chopsticks and started to eat.

"How about you? Aren't you going to eat?" I looked at him when I noticed that he don't have any food with him.

"I'll eat after I look after you."

"I'm not a baby anymore."

"But you are." he giggled while I rolled my eyes.

"Mingyu, can you give me my phone?" he nodded and took it out from his pocket.

"Hello?" his deep voice can be audible through my ears.

"Oppa, can we talk later on the evening?"

Mina's POV:

As what we talked about, we really played in the arcade. I can't help but to bring back those memories that I once forgotten. Whenever he plays, it brings back the old him; bright, fun, sweet. But after all these years, he changed. He became static, emotionless, cold. I never expected to see him again. It may be destiny, but it also may be a coincidence.

"I'm done." he said as he shot the last ball in the basketball hoop. Unlike me that is having the greatest time of my life, he never smiled since we played earlier. He played like it was not entertaining at all. Is this even a date? Well, in the first place, it's not even real.

We got out from the arcade and went to a store. We'll, it's a high end bag store; Prada.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"Just look for one." he said and went away to the other section.

Eh? For what?

I just sighed and searched for one. I don't know what to pick. Maybe he is going to give this to someone because we ended in the female section. He didn't even tell me what type of bag he wants. How can I reach his standards? Ugh.

"Oh sorry!" I immediately bowed when I bumped into someone.

"Dear, it's okay. Are you searching for one?"

"Ah... Yes, but I don't... know what to... pick." I shyly said.

"I'll help you dear. After all, bags are women's company." I just smiled at her statement, even though I'm not really into bags.

We walked into the aisles, finding and searching.

"Are you done?" Wonwoo appeared in front of me.

"Wonwoo?" the lady beside me widened her smile.

"Mother? What are you doing here?" Wonwoo kept himself calm.

"Checking out bags. By the way, who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?"

We eneded up eating together in one table.

"Why are you doing this Wonwoo?" his mother asked him.

Of course, Wonwoo lied earlier. But, I'm not that type of person. If we keep lying, it will just get worse. So I decided to tell what really happened before we are in a fake relationship, but not including the past.

"Don't worry. Wonwoo, I will not tell this to your dad. I know that being arranged is something that we don't want." she smiled genuinely.

"But Wonwoo, just be careful of your actions sweetie, okay? Don't cross the line. I can't do anything but to hope that our problem will be solved. Mina dear, thank you for holding on. After this, you don't have to worry anymore. You'll be free." she held my hand.

That you'll be free part hurts though. I don't know. Maybe I don't want to be far from Wonwoo. Maybe I still want to hold on.

"Did you have fun?" Wonwoo asked while still looking at the road. We're now in his car, going to somewhere unknown.

"Yes." to be honest, I don't know if I had fun or not. Actually, I have mixed emotions.

"Can I ask a question?"

He hummed as a response.

"Where are we going?"


"To my house."
