"Ahn Yujin," Mr Park repeated the same thing his wife just stated.

"Is it Aunt Somin's daughter? Ahn Yujin? The kids who used to follow me around whenever her parents come to visit us? Your classmate in high school? Her daughter? That Ahn Yujin?" Jihoon asked.

"Yes. That Ahn Yujin. She's not a kid anymore. She's grown up to be a very beautiful lady," Mrs Park said. She put a picture in front of Jihoon. Jihoon took that picture and looked at the lady in the picture. Sure it's a very pretty lady. Jihoon can still see the little kid who followed him around when they're still a little. He can tell that it's the same person just by looking at the picture. "How is it? She's pretty, right?"

"Well she is. But isn't it too sudden? I bet she's not ready yet either. We didn't even know each other that well," Jihoon said.

"She told her mom that she's okay with it. So, if you're fine, I'll arrange it for you two to meet. She's living with her parents in Seoul so I'll arrange somewhere for you guys to meet," Mrs Park said.

"But, mom~"

"Just try and meet her a few times. Who knows you guys have chemistry and well. Can get along and till marriage. Me and your dad were arranged by our parents too. And we're living well till now, till we have you," Mrs Park said. "And you didn't even see anyone these days. It's not hurt to try,"

"I have someone I'm interested in," Jihoon said. "And it seems to go well between us,"

"If that is so, come and bring that person to us," Mrs Park said.

"But.. that person is not here," Jihoon said

"Why? That person is another character from any books? Manga? Anime? Or anything that you're currently reading?" Mr Park joked.

"It's not. It's a real person. A person who's breathing the same air as we are," Jihoon said. "That person is currently not in South Korea so I couldn't bring that person to meet you. That person suddenly need to fly to London for something urgent,"

"Realy?" Mrs Park asked. She then cleared her throat. "Anyway, just try to meet her a few times,"

And just like how Mrs Park suggested, Jihoon did go to meet Ahn Yujin as per arrangement. They met at a cafe near the company Yujin is working at.

"Oppa! Long time no see," Yujin said as soon as she sat in front of Jihoon.

"You're right. The last time we saw each other was when I was like 7? 8? Like 20 years ago?" Jihoon asked. "You're not working with your father?"

"I don't want to. I'm tired of him controlling everything about me. My school, my hobbies, the course I took in school. Everything," Yujin said.

"Uncle did?" Jihoon asked.

"Yeah," Yujin said. "That's why, right after I graduated, I rebelled and applied for a job in a company that's way bigger than his so he couldn't buy that company or anything. He did cut my allowance and I was really struggling to survive during the early days when I just started work. But now, I'm doing alright,"

"If you don't like being controlled, then why did you agree to marry me?" Jihoon asked. "It's an arranged marriage. The same as controlling,"

"Ah. I don't really mind because it's my mother who brought it up about it. Not my father. He doesn't really care if I'm getting married or not. And it's the only way for me to get out of that house. You know, my father won't let me see my mother if I ever live outside of the family's house, on my own? But if I'm married to someone, I can just easily say that I'm going to live with my husband. My father can't do anything about that," Yujin said.
