The moment the idea popped into my head, a notification popped on my phone and I saw a message from Hoshi. 'Oh my god, did he know I'm thinking about him? Should I ask him to enter a contract marriage with me?' I kept contemplating without replying to him, then another message came in.

Hi, my sunshine. Hoshi said

Hello, Sasha. Are you there? I'm sorry for texting you late. You don't need to reply.

Hello, my star. I'm here, sorry for the late reply. I said.

Can we meet if you're not busy? I want to ask you something.

Yes sure, I'd love to. I want to ask you a favor too.

Wonderful. Let's meet at Augury Plaza.

I got out of bed and grabbed my jacket, then, I opened my door slowly. I noticed my parents, already went to bed and so I tiptoed outside. However, my mom opens her door; "Who is it? Sasha, where are you going this late?" she asked.

"I have to meet with Juwon, don't worry, I'll be back," I replied.

"Can't it wait until tomorrow," my mom asked.

"Mom, please. I promise, it'll be quick," I pleaded.

"Fine, but hurry up," she finally agreed.

I smiled and thanked her before walking to Augury Plaza, it wasn't technically far and the bus would take too long. I arrived and saw Hoshi standing wearing a black hat, jeans, and a red shirt. I approached him and tapped his shoulder; "Hi," I said, 'I mean I don't know why I'm acting shy now.'

"Hi, my sunshine," Hoshi said.

"My star, you wanted to see me. Why?" I asked.

"You know dispatch saw us meeting last time and took a couple of pictures, so my company decided in order for me to get off the media scrutiny. Well," he said, stopping mid-sentence.

I already knew what he was going to say. "You want us to stop seeing each other, right?" I replied.

"I don't want us to do that. Instead, I want us to enter a contract marriage, I mean I know we only met weeks ago, but I feel like there's something here," Hoshi said.

I froze in my spot, 'Am I dreaming? Is this reality?' I don't know if I should believe all of this because I had a plan to ask him to enter a contract marriage, hoping to stop my parents' constant matchmaking and also meeting with Song Chanwoo.


Chanwoo and I used to be classmates and I wouldn't say we had a wonderful relationship, he used to bully me. 'Why would I marry someone like him?' Hoshi waves his hand in front of my face, I hold it close; "My star, of course, I'd love to date you, but I need your help," I replied.

"Anything for my sunshine," he said.

"I want you to meet my parents and help me convince them, we're deeply in love," I said.

Hoshi squeezed my hands; "Is that all?" he asked, making me nod my head. Hoshi placed a soft kiss on my forehead, "I will come to your house tomorrow, just send me your address," he said.

'Is that easy?' I didn't think he would agree to that, but anyways, I have a boyfriend—correction, a husband and it's my star Kwon Soon-young (Hoshi Kwon). I hugged him, thanking continuously, "See you tomorrow my wife," Hoshi said.

Hoshi and I both arrived safely, we immediately texted each other and he decided to tell us to make up a story, so that if my parents asked how we met. We will easily make our relationship sound real,

'Hoshi and I met during middle school and I had a massive crush on him, but him being the popular guy, I dared not confess. Eventually, we lost contact and as we went on with our lives, fate decided to bring us together again at a coffee shop. We ordered Caramel Macchiato and then after a light-hearted conversation, we exchanged numbers and from then, old feelings rekindled and boom, he proposed to me with rose petals that made it to the shape of a heart. He also wrote my name and his in the sand and Falling For You (Seventeen) playing in the background.'

I think it sounds believable, right? I asked.

Yes, Sasha. I would definitely fall for it. Hoshi said with a laughing emoji.

Hey! Don't laugh. We have to make our story believable.

Okay, Okay, I'm sorry, sunshine. Forgive me? Hoshi said.

Make it up to me :( I replied.

I love you Hoshi said

'Ain't no way he said it! Hoshi Kwon texts me that he loves me.' I'm feeling faint, Goodnight, Sunshine. Sweet dreams. Hoshi said.

Goodnight, my lovely star. Sweet dreams to you too.

I tried to sleep, but I couldn't because my brain keeps wandering back and forth to Hoshi's confession text, I mean I wasn't expecting him to make it up to me this way. However, I'm very happy to the point, I can't stop smiling and squealing loudly on the inside.

The next morning, I woke up and got ready for work. The entire day, I've been thinking about Hoshi and my parents meeting. I told my mom and dad in the morning to meet me at the new restaurant in town: The Empress! Juwon came to work today, but he barely looked at me and he's been avoiding me since our kiss.

I mean I didn't mean to tell him that 'The kiss didn't mean anything.' However, I have to meet up with him later, my shift will end in two hours. I continue on with my work, but my mind wouldn't stop wandering back and forth, whether or not my parents will believe me and Hoshi's story.

Two hours later, I grabbed my bags and chased after Juwon, who ran away from me. I managed to catch up to him and pulled him in an alleyway.

"Juwon, please stop avoiding me!" I said.

"I don't have anything to say to you besides, I'm only your scapegoat for you to use to avoid Connor, right?" Juwon replied.

"Juwon, please, I'm sorry for saying that. You're not my scapegoat, besides, you're the only one who always had my back," I said.

"You want to use me again. Don't bother Dasom and I are back together and we'll go together to our high school reunion," he replied.

"I'm happy for you, Juwon. I know how much you love Kim Dasom," I said.

"Not as much as I love you, but you're too blind to see it," Juwon replied.

He pulled me closer and our faces a mere inch apart, then, right at the moment, a car pulled up and Hoshi came out. Hoshi pulled me away from Juwon, "What are you doing with my fiance?" he asked.

"Fiance? You're getting married, Sasha? Wow, you really don't tell me anything," Juwon said, then walked away from us.

 "Juwon. Hey! Shim Juwon, wait and please let me explain!" I screamed.

Hoshi carried me on his shoulder and took me to his car, he put on my seatbelt, then got in the driver's seat.

"Let me explain to him, please, my star," I said.

"Did you know there was someone who wanted to take pictures of you two, if I hadn't interrupted?" Hoshi replied.

"I have to work things out with my best friend, but now, he would never talk to me again," I said, looking out of the window.

"Darling, I promise all of this will die down and you can explain everything to him," Hoshi said.

"Ugh, why did I have to meet you that day? Then, my life wouldn't be a mess," I mumbled.

"You think I messed up your life?" Hoshi asked.

"That's not what—--," he cuts me off.

"Get out of my car now! Please let's keep our distance!" he said
