Chapter-18

"Wonnie~"

"Hm? You were saying something?"

He crossed his arms, "I think there's one more thing you should be discussing with me."

Jungwon tilted his head in confusion, "What is it?"

"Your marriage partner."

Jungwon's eyes widened in realization, "Ohhh! Hehe..."

He pouted, "Is that true? Are you really engaged to someone?"

"Yes, Jay. I was engaged to someone."

"Will you mind telling me the whole story?"

Jungwon nodded, "Of course." 

Jungwon set his cup in the table and looked at Jay in the eye. "You remember the guy I was talking to at the Lee party?"

He clicked his tongue, "How could I forget him? He literally kissed your hand."

Jungwon giggled, "That was Jihoon. Jihoon is another childhood friend of mine, aside from Sunghoon . We were actually a trio, but I was closer to Jihoon. The two of us were always together when Sunghoon was away. He was the only person I can be with if Sunghoon was not around. Back then, we always knew there was a big possibility that the two of us will be arranged together. And so it did happened. When I was around 13 years old, our parents opened up to us their plans for the both of us, telling us that we were eventually gonna get married in the future."

"What was your response then?"

Jungwon shrugged, "I was fine with it. When I was a kid, I literally had no any ideas about love. I heard stories about them, but I wasn't able to interpret it really well. I always thought I was in love with Jihoon, because I loved being with him. I never told him though, I just never had the feeling to tell him. So when our parents told us about the marriage, it was nothing to me. Besides, I was already expecting it."

"So... are you saying the marriage is still gonna go on? D-do your parents know about me?" Jay nervously asked.

Jungwon gave him a smile and put his hand on top of his, "The marriage is long cancelled...ever since I left with Sunghoon."

"What do you mean?"

"When I knew about Sunghoon leaving their household, I immediately told my parents that I would go with him. However, the conditions are the same with Sunghoon's. I was not allowed to reveal my identity and I should be temporarily cutting off my relations with the Yang family. But the most important part is that my engagement with Jihoon will be cancelled. It was actually a hard decision for me because of that. I was long prepared to be engaged with Jihoon in the future so cancelling it made me have second thoughts. In the end, I chose to sacrifice it all because I knew I had to go with Sunghoon at all cost."

"D-do you regret your decisions?"

Jungwon shook his head, "No. Because leaving the family made me experience the best moment in my life."

"What is?"

Jungwon gave him a smile, reminiscing the very first day they met.

**FLASBACK**

"You might be meeting Jay in your campus. He's one of the heir from the seven families. If you're not going to marry Jihoon, then might as well watch out for Jay."

 Jungwon groaned as he remember his parents words. Jungwon heard about him, but all he heard were negative things. He heard he's a player and a troublemaker. And hell, Jungwon don't want to deal with someone like him.

"Excuse me! Coming through!"

"What—"

And then he bumped into Jungwon which made his books fall on the floor.

Jungwon gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Who the?!"

He looked up to meet Jungwon's eyes making Jungwon frozen in place.

"I'm sorry! Let me help you." He said as he start to pick Jungwon's books.

  Jungwon stayed in his place, staring at him as he pick his books.

"Here." He said as he hand Jungwon's books.

"O-oh, thank you."

He then stood up and took out his hand. Jungwon slowly took his hand and he helped Jungwon stand from the floor.

He then looked at his watch and his eyes widened, "Oh shit— I'm late! Gotta go! Sorry again!" He said as he dashed his way away from Jungwon.

"Huh, I guess Jay isn't that bad after all."

"Oh no! I'm sorry! Are you okay?" Jungwon heard Jay said as he bumped into another person again.

Jungwon slammed his hand in his forehead, shaking his head.

"But then again, he's still a troublemaker."

**END OF FLASHBACK**

"Meeting you." Jungwon told him.

A smile curved into Jay's lips, intertwining their fingers, "I love you."

"I love you too."
