"It really breaks my heart seeing Yujin in that orphanage." Zhang Hao frowns. "He told me the kids were really mean and that he had no friends in there."
"Oh no." Ricky, his best friend, frowns. "Why don't you try adopting him? Is that not possible? You're the only family he has now."
"That has crossed my mind." Zhang Hao nods. "So I asked, but it turns out that I have to be married to adopt him."
"Well... you know I'd help you. We could've gotten into a fake marriage or something, but I can't. I have a boyfriend and I don't think he'd be okay with me fake marrying someone else." He jokes.
"Stop bragging." Zhang Hao playfully rolls his eyes. "You only started dating that Jiwoong guy a few weeks ago."
"Yeah... so?" Ricky shrugs.
"I wasn't going to ask you anyway. You're my best friend... marrying you is just weird."
"I'm offended." Ricky puts his hand on his chest. "Marrying me would be an honor. What do you mean it would've been weird?" He crosses his arms over his chest.
"Anyway... What should I do?" Zhang Hao frowns. "I have to get Yujin out of there."
"So why don't you just get married?" Ricky asks as if it's obvious.
"Well maybe because... I don't know... I don't want to marry a stranger!? Ever since I was young, I thought that when I got married, I'd get married to someone I love, not to adopt my cousin."
"So then just leave your cousin there."
"No way!"
"Okay, so then you'll have to marry someone, Zhang Hao. There's no time for you to find someone and fall in love, then get married and adopt Yujin. You just have to skip the 'falling in love' part and just go straight to the marriage. You might fall for them afterwards anyway... or you can just get a divorce."
"I hate that you're right." Zhang Hao sighs. "Looks like I'm going to have to marry a stranger."
"Oh damn... I completely forgot that my shift starts in a few minutes. See you later, Hao!" Ricky rushes back into the store.
"What am I going to do?" Zhang frowns. "Am I really marrying someone I don't love? But if I do end up doing that... it's all for you, Yujin."

"Hey, sorry! I'm a little late, right?" Ricky asks his co-worker, Gyuvin.
"Just a few minutes late. It's fine."
"Sorry... it's just that I was having a talk with my best friend. He's having problems, so."
"Oh, I understand." Gyuvin nods. "My best friend is having problems as well, actually."
"Really? What kind of problems?" Ricky asks and gets behind the cash register. He and Gyuvin are both cashiers at a store. "Of course, if it's too personal, you don't have to tell me."
"It's basically financial problems." Gyuvin says. "What about your friend? What kind of problems does he have? If I can know, of course."
"I mean... I don't really think this is something he doesn't want anyone to know." Ricky says. "It's just that he's really close to his five year old cousin. His parents got into an accident a few weeks ago and passed away, so now he's in an orphanage. My friend wants to get him out of there and adopt him, but he needs to be married in order to do so."
"Wait, really?" Gyuvin asks him. "That's actually my friend's problem as well."
"He wants to adopt a kid?" Ricky asks him, confused.
"What? No." Gyuvin shakes his head. "I meant... he has to get married."
"Wait, seriously?" Ricky smiles. "Wow... but how come?"
"Well... like I told you, he has financial problems. Before his father passed away, he left something for him. It's written on his fathers will, but my friend isn't sure what it is. He wasn't really close to his father and his father wanted it to be a surprise, so my friend wasn't told what it was. He has to get married to find out, but he thinks it's money."
"Okay, but I can't believe both of our friends are having the same problem." Ricky tells him. "Like seriously? This is like fate. Why don't we get them together? They could marry each other."
"What? But they don't even know each other." Gyuvin says. "Is that a good idea?"
"Look... My best friend is a really good guy. The chances of him hurting your friend are zero to none."
"Yeah, my friend is a really good guy too." Gyuvin nods. "As long as your best friend doesn't fall for him, everything will be fine. My friend is still not over his ex, so..."
"There's no need to worry about that. All my friend wants is to adopt his cousin. No feelings will be involved. Let's set them up so they can both help each other out."
