4. Verified Marriage Article

It has been few days since Maena met Sunghoon for the first time. And that was it, nothing after that. They haven't texted, seen or anything. But that's what it will be, right? Like he said, just to focus her life like it is now.

Maena scrolled down her socials whilst walking with Bora besides her out of the campus. The weather was today quite sunny. It was almost summer.  

Suddenly Bora gasped when they got outside to the entrance. "OMG, Maemae look at there.", she hastily exclaimed, which made Maena to direct her gaze away from her phone. Bora pointed somewhere but she didn't first catch what she was trying to show.

"So handsome! I wonder who's he picking up, oh my god.", she continued and now Maena caught up who she meant. There was a man standing outside of his car. An expensive looking black Mercedes Benz. The man had sunglasses, which covered his eyes.

"And look at that car! The suit! And everything. He must be so rich.", Bora yet added in mesmerization. Maena soon enough realized who he was. That suit, black hair, the height and even those thick dark eyebrows that were lightly visible under his sunglasses.

"No, Bora! That's Sunghoon! What's he doing here?!", Maena yell-whispered and tugged her best friend's sleeve to stop her from staring.

"S-Sunghoon? That's him? God, girl, you're so lucky.", Bora stuttered as if she couldn't believe it, but now calming down a little. "Is he here to pick you up?"

"No, probably not. Why would he? Maybe he has a girlfriend here, or something.", Maena guessed. The girls both looked back at him for a while. Now he lowered his sunglasses to see better. He had spotted the girls, probably recognized Maena. He motioned his hand for her to come there.

"No, he's here to pick you up, girl.", Bora got excited seeing his sign and started pulling Maena by her sleeve. She got more excited the more closer they walked. Before either Sunghoon or Maena could say anything she started, "Hi! I'm Bora, I'm Maena's very best friend and, and here, I brought her.", she pulled Maena closer as she stood a little further.

"I bet you don't have to introduce yourself, since I know who you are. Sunghoon, I mean Mr. Park, I should call you Mr. Park, right. But, you're so handsome!", Bora continued. Maena pulled Bora by her sleeve. "Gosh, you're embarassing me.", she complained.

"Embarassing? Nonsense."

"Well, anyway. Why are you here?", Maena asked Sunghoon.

"I'll tell you in the car.", he replied and opened the car door behind him and stepped out of the way. It was her sign to step in the passenger's seat.

"Um, okay. Bye then, Bora.", she said to her and sat on the passenger's side, which to Sunghoon held out the door.

"Bye!", Bora said happily and started walking backwards to the bike parks. She neither has a license yet, and her apartment is close enough to go with bike.

Sunghoon closed the car door and walked to the driver's side. Maena had to admit, the car was so classy. Her family is wealthy too, but something felt way different in his car. It was very clean and the scent there was luxurious. The black inner surfaces were clean and spotless.

After getting in the driver's seat Sunghoon started the car and drove off the campus. "Your father wanted to meet us both at your place, so I picked you up on the way.", he told her with that indifferent tone of his.

"Why? Why did he want to meet?", Maena inquired.

"I'm not sure, but I have a hunch."

"Then what's it? What do you think he has to tell?", she curiously inquired more.
