Soo Kyung POV:
"WHAT?!!" My eyes widened at eomma's words.
"Is this the urgent thing?"
"Yeah, what else? Isn't this urgent enough for you to come back?"
"Do you know how worried I am when you said that?! I rushed here and it's all just THIS?!! OMG what did I do to deserve this? And one more thing, why did you arrange an engagement party without me knowing? I don't even know him nor love him!"
"You'll know him. Love... It's unimportant. What's important now is we need an heir for our family's sake."
"There we go again. I'm sick of it! Do whatever you want! I'm out of here!" I was about to turn around to the main exit but my name was called by someone.
"Soo Kyung-ah..." I turned back.
"Grandma... You're here, too...?" I went to her.
"Just listen to your mom, can't you?"
"But, grandma..."
"No but... I'm already old and I don't know how many more time I have and my biggest wish is to see a great grandchildren. Then, I can leave this world peacefully."
"Don't say things like that, grandma..."
"Can you do it for me, Soo Kyung-ah?" I looked into her eyes and sighed.
"Alright." I said in a lower tone. I saw my mom got excited at my agreement.
"Go into your room. Everything's ready." I went into my room and plopped on the bed. Suddenly, I got a message.
Kai-ssi
Hey.
I know that you don't wanna be friend with me. And I don't know why is that.
It's not that you're not good. It's me who aren't willing to open my heart to any man yet.
What do you mean by that?
Well, something made me don't want to believe in men.
But... Other day, I just saw you with a man? Who is he then? I thought he was your boyfriend.
?
When did you see me?
The day I asked you for a meal. I went to your office and waited there. But, I saw you with him so I just left.
You waited for me?
Sorry 😔
And that was my best friend. He's the only male friend I have.
It's okay. I wanted to wait.
Oh, best friend... Then, have you thought about having another male friend?
Huh?
Me.
?
How about accepting me to be your friend? To be exact, online friend? Well, my identity doesn't allow us to be like other friends. I don't want to harm you.
Okay. But you need to answer one question.
Yeay!
Shoot it.
Why do you want to be friend with me so much?
Just... I thought you're nice as friend.
I answered your question. So, my online friend... We'll talk later. I need to go now.
I got up from the bed and started to get ready. Somehow, talking with him kinda make me feel better. Whatever that I'm going to go through in the future, I'll just face it because I know my life already been arranged by my parents since the day I came into this world.
"Soo Kyung-ah! Are you ready? The groom is here." Eomma knocked on the door. I went to the door and opened it. I was expecting some kind of compliment like 'my daughter is beautiful' or something like that but it's all my expectation.
"Good that you're done. Hurry up! The event is going to start." I sighed in disappointment and followed her out to the backyard where everyone are waiting. I got up to the stage with my parents and the groom also did the same with his parents.
"Welcome, our relatives and close friends to the engagement party of children of Kim and Shin family. We're happy to unite them on this night as from tonight, Kim and Shin family will become one. Another happy news is Kim Group and Shin Group will be emerged and become a better group in the future. Kamsahabnida. "We all bowed to the audience and my parents left me to their friends. I went to drink some wine. Someone approached me. I ignored him.
" Soo Kyung-ssi? It's your name, am I right? " I looked at him and smiled forcingly.
" I'm Kim Jongin, your fiancé. " He put out his hand for me to shake. I just shook it for a second and let it go.
Jongin POV:
She continued to drink wine glass by glass. I just watched her lovingly. At one time, I realized that she's quite drunk so I stopped her from drinking more.
"Aish... Who are you? Go away!"
"Soo Kyung - ah, you're drunk. Stop it already..." She slapped my hand away and took another glass. I had no other choice and grabbed the glass from her and put it on the table. Then, I carried her bridal style into the house. I asked the maid her room and she showed it to me. I went into her room and put her on the bed.
"Let me get a glass of hot water for you to sober up." I was about to left but she grabbed my hand. I sat down beside her bed as she's using my hand as a pillow.
Soo Kyung POV:
I opened my eyes slowly and held my head as it's hurting so much.
"Ugh, why did I drink so much? It's terrible." I was about to get up but I realized my hand holding something. I looked at it and let go of it immediately. He started to open his eyes and looked at me.
"You're awake?" I distanced myself from him.
"Who are you? Why are you here in my room?!"
"I'm your fiancé, don't you remember? And you're drunk last night so I took care of you. Wait here, let me make a soup for your hangover." He got up and left.
"Aish, I hope I didn't do anything stupid last night. But... did he sleep on the floor for the whole night? He's quite a gentleman, huh?" I smirked and then I slapped myself.
"What are you thinking about? Stop it!" The door swung open and I adjust myself. He came in with a bowl of soup. I took it from him and started to drink it. After that, he took the bowl from me.
"I think I need to go now. You also should get up and get ready."
"Get ready? For what?"
"Don't you have a work today?"
"Oh, yes. Right. Okay. You should leave too." He got up and was about to leave but I stopped him.
"Jongin, right ? Thank you for taking care of me last night." He nodded without turning back.
