The first thing Baekhyun did after wrapping up his morning exercise was making a cup of espresso for himself. While waiting for his coffee machine doing all the work, his head was busy playing back a lot of things

He began to wonder what exactly happened to Eunji in her previous marriage. He couldn't help but to feel curious

Ding!

His coffee was ready. Baekhyun brought the cup with him and sat in front of his laptop at the dining table

Baekhyun-Can you find something about a person named Jung Eunji please?

The AI system began to browse into the internet upon Baekhyun's command

AI-Jung Eunji, born on August 18 1993 in Busan, South Korea. She..
Baekhyun-I know that. Get something about her marriage status

It took some time for the system to find the information about one's marital status

AI-She got married in 2021, but they have split after two years and a half
Baekhyun-Why?
AI-The report says she was a victim of domestic abuse

Baekhyun stared at the wall blankly. He tapped his hand on the table, making a loud thud sound which never bother him

AI-Are you interested in her sir?
Baekhyun-What?
AI-I'm asking if you have feelings for this person you asked me about
Baekhyun-What makes to think so?
AI-Your heart beat rate is increasing

Baekhyun glanced at his smart watch and cursed

Baekhyun-Stupid robot

He put it off and strolled into his room to clean up

💌💌💌

Ring! Ring!

Eunji-Hello, dad?

"Eunji, can you come
home right now?"

Eunji-Now? Dad, I'm still working. I still have a lot to do

"Just leave them behind
and come here. There is
something urgent coming up.
We need to talk as soon as possible"

Eunji sighed

Eunji-Fine, but I need to go home first because Seojun...

"Seojun is already here.
I fetched him just now.
I will see you later"

Beep!

Before Eunji could say a word, her dad had ended their call. Eunji took her hand bag and left office immediately

///

Eunji-Mom, dad, I'm home

Eunji closed back the door behind her

Jaeyoung-Eunji, come here!

Jaeyoung waved at Eunji, calling her to come over to the back yard. He was having a tea time with his wife

Eunji-What is so urgent that you called me here?

Eunji asked as she sipped her tea as well. Jaeyoung and Sunjeong kept glancing at each other. They had not decided who was going to tell Eunji

Jaeyoung-All right, all right, I will speak
Eunji-Go on
Jaeyoung-This morning, someone came to ask your hand into marriage
Eunji-What?!

Eunji almost screamed, surprised and shocked

Jaeyoung-It's hard to believe right? Your mom and I had a difficult time to decide too. But we ended up accepting his proposal
Eunji-No! You can't accept his proposal without my permission
Sunjeong-But he is someone you know

Eunji-I don't care if I know him or not. I told you I have had enough. How could you do this to me? Arranged me into another marriage after I have terribly failed in the previous one. Why do you always do this to me? Please let me decide on my own!

Sunjeong-Eunji honey, your father and I just want the best for you
Eunji-No, you don't. Your decision has always been selfish. It's for your own good. I am not going to marry anyone!
Jaeyoung-Jung Eunji!

Jaeyoung also raised his voice at Eunji

Jaeyoung-Your mother and I have decided for you. We accepted his proposal and you will end up marrying this guy, whether you like it or not. If you insist to go against my words, I will make sure Jangjun wins the custody on Seojun
Eunji-Dad! How could you make Seojun involves in this? You are so unfair. You never change. You will never!

Eunji took her stuffs and shuffled to her own bedroom upstairs. She shut the door loudly. Eunji threw her handbag across the room. She sat on her chair

She threw her face into her hands, crying out of frustration

Knock! Knock!

Sunjeong-Eunji, can I come in?

Sunjeong did not wait for Eunji's permission to come inside. She sat on the edge of the bed, facing Eunji. Sunjeong felt bad to see her daughter crying like this. As a mother, it broke her heart

Eunji-Why is he always like that? He never learnt from what happened before. He doesn't care about me. About how I feel
Sunjeong-Eunji, your father cares about you so much. He knows that Jangjun was a bad choice for you, and maybe for Eunbin too. He is trying to fix this now
Eunji-Fix this? He forces me to get married again. Against my will

Sunjeong shook her head

Sunjeong-At first, I rejected the proposal too. But then, when I saw that guy, I just got this feeling that he is a good person. Besides, he said he knows you
Eunji-He knows me?

Sunjeong nodded her head

Sunjeong-He talked a lot about you. The things you like, what you dislike. He knows all the things I don't know too. It got me thinking, maybe he is the right one for you. He said he has been waiting until this moment comes
Eunji-Who is that person?

Sunjeong put an envelope on in front of Eunji on her table

Sunjeong-You can see it for yourself. There is his picture inside

Sunjeong left Eunji with the photo of this mysterious guy who claimed to know Eunji for a long time

Eunji hesitated to open the envelope and see it for herself. She ended up going to sleep without touching the photo

Tbc...
