minho woke up, already hating this day.

he remembered that today he will meet the woman he was forced to marry.
he wondered if she felt the same way minho did, or if she actually wanted to marry him.

i guess he will out today.

but he started thinking.
"what if she also doesn't like the idea of marrying me? we could then convince our families to drop this marriage. I'm not completely lost yet!"

with a little hope in his heart, he changed his clothes and went downstairs to eat his breakfast.

he was still really mad at his parents.

he walked inside the dining room. his breakfast was already on the table.
his parents were already there as well, enjoying their breakfast.

"so minho, how have you slept?" his mom asked

"not bad." minho kept it short. he wasn't in the mood to talk with his parents.

"well, son, the Han family will arrive at 16:00pm today, so dress nicely."

minho just rolled his eyes.

"no need to remind me."

"you haven't even met her, she's probably really sweet."

"THATS MY GOD DAMN POINT! I HAVENT EVEN MET HER, I DONT KNOW HER MOM!"
minho had enough.

"you know what, I'm not hungry anymore. I will enjoy my last day of freedom the best I can."
minho stood up, and before walking away, he stopped and turned around.

"I sacrificed dancing for you. I sacrificed something that was so dear to me, but I stopped, so that I could work at the company. Not having time to dance I....mom....I cried every single day."

he looked at his mom.

"if I will have to sacrifice my life for you, I will never forgive you."

minho looked away and walked inside his room, ready to sneak out and enjoy his last day as a free man, because after today, he will be engaged.

he went on this one specific field.
he always loved dancing there.
and today was the perfect opportunity to dance there.

he sighed and played music, dancing without thinking, just letting his emotions out.

when he finally felt like he was at peace, his alarm went off.

15:20pm

"fuck"

he sighed and retuned home, showering and putting some pretty suit on himself.

15:59pm

"my last minute of being a single and free man."
minho sighed.

16:00pm

minho sadly looked at the time, knowing that it was time to go to the dining room.

his parents were there already.

"minho you will be sitting here, across from your fiancée and I will be across from her mother, your father will be across from her father and her brother will be seated next to her."
his mom told him.

minho nodded.

his mom then sighed and fixed Minhos hair.

"you look handsome son. I love you, don't forget that."

minho didn't reply, he just stared back.

just then, one of the maids rushed inside the dining room.

"mr. Lee, they're here!"

"lead them here."

the maid nodded and bowed before running back to the door, opening it.

"It's time to welcome our quests, my dear son."
his father said and pat his back.

the maid brought the han family inside.
his father immediately went to welcome her dad and his mom said her hello to her mom, while his fiancé stood there, looking at Minho.

minho didn't stare back.

"and where is your son?" Minhos mom asked

"oh, his friend called him and he wanted to pick it up. he's really stubborn, so he insisted on taking that call, and that he will come here a little later."

"alright then, should we introduce our children?"
fiancés father asked

"of course."

minho was finally face to face with his fiancé. she was pretty, he had to admit, but he wasn't exactly into her.

"this is our daughter, your fiancé." her father said

"my name is han soojin, it's nice to meet you. i'm sure we will work together well." she smiled

and with that, Minhos hopes were away.
she seemed like she really wanted to marry him.

he sighed.
"i'm lee minho, pleasure to meet you too."
he said, sounded clearly uninterested.

his dad hit his back a little and Minho gave him a dead stare.

just then, the maid came inside with a boy next to her.

he wasn't dressed really formal.

( this is what he was wearing,
for your imagination )

minho recognized him.

"i-is that him? from the coffee shop? what's he doing here?"
minho thought.

"agh, you're finally here." soojins mom said

"sorry, felix needed my help."
he said.

"oh, I'm sorry, this is our son, soojins brother."

minhos eyes went wide

"he's her brother?!"

"it's nice to meet you." jisung said and sat on the empty chair next to his sister.

"why didn't he introduce himself?
I want to know his name."
minho thought.

and he was going to get it.
