I had just arrived with my parents to Korea a few days prior to the knock I would have ignored forever if I went back in time. Around 3 days after we arrived in Korea we got a knock at our door. I opened up the door to see an old friend of my parents and called my parents down. My parents greeted their friend and welcomed him in. I smiled at him and led him to the sofa to take a seat. The man was named Yongsik. Yongsik decided to break the silence and welcomed lus back to Korea. My parents smiled at Yongsik and thanked him. "Can I ask you something?" He said pointing to me. I answered politely and said of course. He then continued to ask if I was talking to someone of interested in someone. I looked at him shocked and shook my head no. He laughed and said great. My parents looked at him confused and asked why. Yongsik spoke up and asked something that shocked everyone to their core. "I need her to marry my son Jeongin." He said with a calm voice. My parents gasped and asked why he had said something so crazy. He responded with " he needs to marry someone and your child is a perfect choice," he said looking at my parents. My parents understood but said it was all up to me. I looked at them shocked not knowing what to say as Yongsik stared at me. I don't think I can do it I said speaking up. Yongsik knew I would say that so he mentioned paying my family 30k every month if I accepted. My parents were in a tough situation and I sighed. I'll do it I said surprising my parents. My mom then spoke up saying " you don't have to honey." I nodded saying I know but we need the money. My dad looked down embarrassed knowing we did. I accepted the offer and Yongsik looked proud. He told me to prepare and pack my stuff because I would have to move in with them. I sighed and nodded and we watched him leave our house. After two days he came to pick me up and I hugged my parents before taking my suitcase and going in Yongsik's car. Yongsik took me to my new home and introduced me to his son Jeongin who I would be marrying. I greeted him and all I got was " are you the one I'm supposed to marry?..." he scoffed looking me up and down. Yea I said in an annoyed tone. He laughs "what? Not excited to be marrying me?" He sat across from you smirking. "Not really it's just an agreement," I spoke up. "Oh because of an agreement huh?" I nod and he puts his chin on the palm of his hand and speaks up saying "so what if it's an agreement? Not thrilled to be marrying me?" I shook my head no. He responded with "damn, many girls would sell their soul to marry a guy like me." I laughed and said well I'm not one of them. Jeongin's father then interrupted us and told me to follow him. I nodded and followed him to my room. He showed me to my room and I thanked him placing my stuff on the bed. He nodded and left me alone in my room. As he left me I situated myself and put everything away. Later that night at around 12am I heard a knock at my bedroom door. "Who is it?"I called out to the other side. A voice responded with "It's..........
