The Secrets To A Perfect Marriage

8

Jin’s POV

I opened one of the most expensive bottles of red wine called Domaine de la Romanee-Conti which is also known as Romanee-Conti and poured into two empty glasses that just screamed luxury. I am not the type to brag but it is factual that not everyone could afford this type of wine and I just casually opened it to drink it for the night because it is the perfect time to drink it with this type of atmosphere, in the dead of the night where there is nothing but silent.

No one is making the move to speak and my friend just watched the red wine being spilled into each of our glasses.

The living room we were in was dark and the only source of light was that one light in the corner. My house’s living room was enormous with a touch of modern fixtures that are suitable to live in for masculine individuals and a scent of lemon with a hint of hot ginger made it feel homey and welcoming.

The night in Seoul is not particularly quiet since I am in the city but there is some calmness as my friend and I watched the dark and empty sky from the huge, tall window. The scenery could take everyone’s breath away and I could call it a priceless panorama.

It was what people call a luxury.

“Does that mean you’re going to get married soon?”

I did not answer my friend right away as I  drank the glass of red wine, all in one shot. I frowned for a bit before answering, “I’m not sure,”

“But you agreed to meet your potential marriage partner,”

“I did but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get married, Yoongi,” I was feeling annoyed at his oblivious question but I trusted my parents’ judgment and choice.

They know what is best for me. However, at the back of my mind, I keep recalling a certain woman’s face and her name.

I will meet this woman who unknowingly captured both of my parents’ hearts. Well, I should have known that my parents would take action to let me get married right away considering I am already thirty years old. I admit that this is the right age to tie the knot with someone but I wasn’t expecting my parents to use an old method of matchmaking.

It’s not like I was angry at this sudden news of a blind date and then marriage. Truthfully, I felt less burdened by trying to find someone on my own. It would take a lot more time to find the one who would suit my standards. I also already made up my mind as soon as I was leaving my family home that I would accept this proposal from a woman that my parents had chosen for me. My family’s blessings and happiness are more important than my selfish heart.

I already have an interest in another. The woman I talked with for a short time at the bakery managed to give me solace and made me feel like I was a normal person with no fancy background or title attached to me.

However, our time might have just ended there since I had arranged to have a date with a stranger.

Despite everything, it is a good deal for me too if I get married. All the dating rumors and malicious news that surrounded me will die down and the company’s reputation will be increased even more. Eomma will also have nothing more to worry about and focus on improving her health. That bitch might leave me alone, once and for all. Moreover, my future wife, Park Jihyo, is a perfect marriage candidate.

And I might be able to forget about the Jihyo I have met.

But we are strangers to each other. How are we going to have a happy and perfect marriage?

Yoongi hummed, placing his glass near his lips, “Well, knowing you, you’re gonna accept her anyway,”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I raised my brow at him, feeling slightly offended by his remark. It’s not like he is wrong, however, it still stings a little bit.
