Arranged Marriage | Joshua Hong

7

Here i am neatly and soberly dressed in a formal wear with makeup and hair done. Ugh i don't like makeup, i just don't! But sometimes fate brings makeup to me, huh.

Mother: are you ready?
Y/n: ofcourse, you are the one who did my makeup and hair

I said as i rolled my eyes. I really don't like going to parents' functions, it's so boring. Btw my parents work in a same company. Everyone is so engrossed in the calm music and talking politely, not my type at all plus kids of my age are so shy that i don't even feel like talking to them, okay not kids- but yea whatever

Father: oh my princess looks so beautiful
Y/n: you are acting as if we are going to talk about my marriage
Father: let's go, we might get late
Y/n: yes father

I said in an uninterested tone. It's 7.30, ugh! I had to cancel my important plans with my friends for this dumb gathering of my lovely parents

I was sitting in the backseat meanwhile my parents were sitting in the front. Mother looked at me, she was literally staring

Mother: you have something near your eye, let me remove it

Seriously, what is going on? Ugh I'm hungry

We soon reached at a house. Might be my parents' colleague who is throwing a formal party

We entered the place, wow damn-- this place is so huge, elegant and beautiful. I'm in love with it

Y/n: why don't we have a house like this?

I looked at my father with a glare meanwhile he just smiled

Father: you soon will
Y/n: you are going to buy a new house??

I questioned excitedly but my father just went towards an old man. They hugged eachother, asked how they've been and blah blah. Same goes with my mother and the old lady, i assume these two are the owners of this house. But one thing that i don't understand, why are we only here? Isn't this supposed to be some gathering where many people meet?

Nvm I'm just hungry, give me food

Old man: oh what a beautiful daughter you have my friend
Father: y/n come here

I approached my father and stood beside him

Father: this is my lovely yet spoiled daughter as i have mentioned my friend
Y/n: father?!
Father: he has to know, you know?

I whispered yelled at him. He has never spoken like this about me to anyone, what wrong with him today. And what was the last sentence about? Why should he know? He isn't my father anyways

Old man: she is just in her age, we understand
Old lady: ofcourse, don't call her like that Mr Kim
Father: your wish

They all started laughing

Father: y/n, this is Mr Hong, our CEO and this is their beautiful wife, Mrs Hong
Y/n: Hello, nice to meet you
Mr & Mrs Hong: Nice to meet you too sweetie
MrsHong: let's talk later now first let's have food!

Soon we sat on the dining table. Everything, literally every little thing in this house is aesthetic. Soon the food arrived and i started digging in. I could feel stares at me

Y/n: i- I'm sorry.. i was very hungry
MrsHong: it's totally fine honey, eat as much as you wish. It's all for you
Mother: where is Joshua?

The both couple looked down and sighed. Who is JoShUa?
