Matthew was on his way to the library when Chaehyun stopped his track. "Can we talk?", she asked. Matthew slightly nodded.

Store Room...

"You know that I'm going to marry Jiwoong, right? I'm really sorry, but I like Jiwoong a lot. I think he's a gentleman. It's the first time I felt this way.. "..

"Chaehyun. It's alright. Don't worry about me. He and I are over. Even if he isn't engaged, there's still no way for us to be together"..

"Why not?"...

"His mom hates me. And my dad lost his job because of me. I do not want to make my family suffer. I love Jiwoon, but we're not meant for each other. I give you my blessing"...

Matthew slightly smiled as he left the store room. Chaehyun had more things to say to him. But judging his state, she decided not to. She just followed him outside, but they took the opposite turns.

One week later~~

Jiwoong pov

I looked at the bracelet that was in my hand. I wished that I returned him this that day, made him my friend, let him hang out with us, and eventually I'd fallen in love with him. We would have more days and years together.

"Are you sure you want to marry her?", Taerae asked me. I put the bracelet inside my pocket. "I don't have a choice. Mom never gives us choices", I said. He nodded in agreement.

"Well, Gunwook plan to kidnap the bride and threatened your mother to let you marry Matthew", he told me. I laughed.

"Sounds like the gangster is back. But he better not go with the plan. We're talking about Chairwoman Vivian Kim. There's nothing that hag can't do", I told him. He smiled.

My friends entered, dressed in their luxury suits. If my name wasn't on the cards, everyone would think Ricky's the groom. He liked to stand out with all his fashion senses.

"Is he here?", I asked. Hanbin nodded.

"When the priest say..speak now or forever hold your peace.. I really wish someone would speak ", said Ricky.

"Do you think this is some kind of Western wedding. I know you were brought up in the US. But this is Korea. There are only vows and rings", Gunwook explained the modern Korean wedding to Ricky.

"Come on, guys. It's time", Hanbin said after looking at his watch.

"Yeah! Time to sold off Jiwoong hyung's virginity. Because after tonight, he'd be no longer a virgin"...

Sometimes, I wished I could burn his throat so that he'd be mute for the rest of his life.

I glared at Ricky who hid behind Taerae. "I'm still better than you. I feel so bad for Gyuvin that his boyfriend could not stayed virgin for him", I attacked him back.

"He wasn't in my life when I was.. "...

"A playboy". I finished the sentence for him. At least, there's always been only one person in my heart all the time, and that's Matthew.

Matthew pov

We sat at the front, as escorted by the usher. If it was my choice, I'd choose the back where no one would see my tears. But Vivian must want me to clearly witnessed how Jiwoon hyung never belonged to me.
