   "What does that even mean?" Hyunjin huffed.

   The older male sighed.

  "Perhaps it means instead of being a cold and well let's face it your father, you should set aside the business part of everything and be a husband." Chan stated.

   "Rude..."

   "Hyunjin, the first thing you ever said to him was that the marriage meant nothing and that it was just for business, that is rude. What is also rude is the fact that your whole honeymoon you ignored him."

  "Okay, the first part of that is true, the second part is untrue, I asked him what he planned on doing. He said that it was nothing worth mentioning."

   Chan slumped down in his chair.

   "Okay, take a moment, step back, he probably said that because you said that you two would be living separate lives." Chan said.

   "Okay, well you're the couples therapist, what should I do?" Hyunjin asked.

   Chan hummed.

  "Get him something he likes. Do you know anything he likes?"

    Hyunjin bit his lip and hummed.

  "I think he likes strawberries..."

  "You think?" Chan questioned.

  "Well, he really likes that strawberry wine Han makes, and I've heard him sing a small song about them while eating a bowl of them." Hyunjin said.

  "Maybe, you guys should just come see me... A lot more would get done if we were to do that."

Hyunjin groaned.

   "It's only been ten days since we've been married."

   "Yeah, and your marriage started off bad with it being arranged, then got worse after your comment, on top of that you guys cannot talk properly." Chan stated.

   "You know why I went through with this arrangement..."

Chan sighed and sat back up.

  "That is what I am confused about. You, you, Hyunjin Hwang, who had never been interested in anyone, who told his father that no matter what he would not be getting married.

   You, who thought that marriage was useless. You, Hyunjin Hwang, got married."

   "Yes, I know, I'm married."

  "Hyunjin, you got married because you found out who Felix's father wanted Felix to get married to. I don't know what you are thinking or feeling, but Hyunjin, it seems like from my opinion, this isn't just a business marriage..." Chan stated.

    Hyunjin's lips pressed together, his eyes scanning his desk, as if trying to focus on anything else.

   "I... I can't even make him smile... His smile is beautiful and I can't even make him smile. Rather than trying, I keep just wanting to push him away.
 
    The first day of our honeymoon, he spent is with Jisung Han and I spent it working. I can't give him what he wants, he wants love, he wants a real connection, and I cannot give him that because I am not built like that." Hyunjin told him.

   Chan felt a little surprised.

  "Hyunjin, what's going on? I have never seen you like this..."

   Hyunjin leaned his head back and leaned his head back.

  "The person who Felix was originally planned to marry, she was a close friend... She and I fell out though. I found out that she was violent with previous partners. She was just downright horrible.

   I knew who Felix was, so did she... She wanted him. Several months ago she and I stopped talking, about a month later I found out his father planned to marry Felix and her, so I stepped in." Hyunjin started.

   "I told them that the merger of the two companies would be great, better than the merger of the Lee company and her company, especially due to the rumours that were surrounding her company.

    He agreed, money hungry, he didn't care about anything else. There were some rumours about me and my family but not as bad. I heard him cry... I couldn't face him and at the wedding there was a coldness between us, that I had put there..."

   Chan listened to the younger talk.

  "I want to make him smile, I want to make him laugh, I want to give him what he wants, but I can't and I am so frustrated about it, because I see him smile and laugh with Han and Han can give him what he wants.

   I am so frustrated because I don't want his attention to be on Han. I want to be selfish and that isn't fair, because I haven't even given him the time of day."

  Chan raised a brow.

   "Okay, here is what you do. You accept that you are in this marriage, first of all, because if you don't accept it, you'll get no where and your marriage will be like your parents' marriage.

   Two, start caring and yeah, you do care, but you limit it. Three, talk to him, like actually talk to him, get to know him. Take him to dinner, make dinner, whatever just get to know him.

   Four, stop thinking about what Jisung does and how Jisung makes Felix smile and laugh, and focus on how you could do that same thing. Lastly, get him some strawberries." Chan told him.

   Maybe Chan was right..
