"What do you mean you found someone I can marry?" Hanbin asks Gyuvin. "I already told you I don't want to marry a stranger."

"But you see... that's where you're wrong. He's not a stranger, he's Ricky's best friend."

"Yeah... your co-workers friend, but we don't know him."

"Hey!" Gyuvin frowns. "Ricky is not just my co-worker. He's my friend."

"Sure... that's why you also talk to him outside of work." Hanbin says sarcastically.

"Look... we're getting there, okay? Step by step." Gyuvin crosses his arms over his chest. "Anyway... he described his best friend as someone who would never hurt you, so that's a plus. Plus, you just want to get married for the money. No feelings will be involved, so how would you two hurt each other anyway?"

"Look... I do need the money and all, but I'm not desperate to marry a random guy, okay? I appreciate you for trying to help me, but that's not happening." Hanbin shakes his head.

"Well, okay. The idea did seem a little crazy, but it was worth a try." Gyuvin shrugs.

"I actually have to tell you something." Ricky says to Zhang Hao. "Remember Gyuvin?"

"Oh, you mean your co-worker whom you had a crush on for a few months but you ended up giving up and are now with Jiwoong? Yeah, what about him?"

"Anyway..." Ricky rolls his eyes and ignores his comment. "We were talking about our best friends and it turns out he has a friend who has the same problem as you."

"Well... I have so many problems, so which one of them all?"

"The marriage thing." Ricky clarifies. "He's going through some financial issues and has to get married to inherit his father's money."

"Okay and?" Zhang Hao asks, not knowing where Ricky is going with this information.

"You can marry him."

"But I don't even know him."

"Hao... you said you'd marry a random stranger if you had to. Isn't it better to at least marry someone one of my friends knows?"

"I guess...?" Zhang Hao nods. "But still... I'm undecided. Marriage is a big deal for me. I really want to get married to someone I truly love... Bit what's his name anyway?"

"I think he said his name is... Hanbin?"

"H-Hanbin?" Zhang Hao immediately asks.

-

"Yujin, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao frowns when he sees the sad look on Yujin's face.

"I don't want to be here anymore. I don't like it here."

Zhang Hao tries to hide his sadness and sits down next to him. "How come? I'm sure you could end up making friends, Yujin. You just need to give it some time."

"Doubt that." He shakes his head. "No one likes me here."

"No, why do you say that?" Zhang Hao shakes his head. "Don't think that way. I'm sure you'll make really good friends."

"There's some really mean kids who call me names. They don't want to be my friends."

Zhang Hao just stays quiet, not knowing what to do when Yujin starts crying. All he does is pull him in for a hug. Whether he likes it or not, Zhang Hao will have to get married in order to adopt Yujin.

And at this point, he doesn't care who he ends up marrying. He'll do it for Yujin.
