"Are you really not going to the dinner?" Eunwoo asked Joy looking at him munching on her steak "eat carefully" he added handing her a tissue to wipe the side of her lips

"I don't think I can escape the marriage this time" she said after gulping a water "Mom seems very determined..... well, she always was" she muttered shrugging wiping her lips with the tissue

"It sure sucks being in a wealthy family, you almost have no rights to make your own decisions" Eunwoo said

"Yeah right. We even almost got married"

"Why didn't you agree?" He suddenly asked as she jerk her head to look at him raising her brow "I was just asking, since I think it would be much better if you got married with me other than to some strangers" he added

"I don't know.... it's just...it doesn't seem right to me.... marrying you" she stuttered

Eunwoo knit his eyebrows "Why the hell not?"

"Eunwoo, we're friends. We can't get married" she said "Are we really talking about this?"

"Nah. I was just saying it would be much better if we got married since we're friends"

"You act like this is some sort of game" She scoff suddenly irritated by how he declared it easily "I think I'm going to the dinner" she added standing up dusting the invisible dirt on her skirt

"You're really going?" Eunwoo solemnly muttered standing up together with her leaving the payment on the table "Should I bring you there?"

"I can manage, see you on the office tomorrow Woo" She said not sparing him a glance as she hailed a taxi that was passing by and entered swiftly

Eunwoo stood there frozen  looking at the taxi's retreating back "Damn it" he cursed

"I'm sorry, she would be here in a minute" her mother assured Sungjae and his parents who was comfortably sitting on their living room "You know how traffic it is nowadays"

"No worries, Ms. Park we can still wait" his father muttered smiling gently

Sungjae was on the other hand becoming restless licking his upper lips repeatedly a habit he has everytime he's nervous. is she going?  he thought Maybe she's not aware that It's my family who she's going to have dinner with?

After a minute they heard a clicking of heels as they all turn their heads to the main door as Joy entered the house, a smile suddenly spreading on her mother's face looking at her daughter who was really beautiful with her long straight black hair resting on her back as she wore a black dress that stops in her thigh, it was short considering how her thighs are showing too much "I'm sorry I'm late, I had to sign some papers for the last minute" Joy apologized as she bowed to the elders who waited for her giving them a smile

Her smile then dropped as she looked at the man who was sitting beside her father, she knit her brows pointing at him "Sungjae?" she asked

"Oh. you know each other?" His mother asked smiling to the both of them

Joy's mother gulped thinking the marriage this time would be another fail "Yes mom, we met on Changsub's party before" Sungjae swiftly lied "It's nice seeing you again, Joy"

"Y-yeah, it's nice seeing you too Sungjae" she awkwardly replied stuttering as she took her seat beside her mom who was smiling at her as if it was forced "Is the food not ready yet?" She stupidly asked

"Yes, we should head to the dining room and talk there" Joy's dad said softly laughing at Sungjae's father tapping him on his shoulder, both of them stood up heading to the dining room and was followed by their mothers
