Mom sighs, her eyes rolling slightly "Oh, Y/n... She shakes her head, a faint smile playing on her lips "We've had so many proposals for you. You're such a talented and beautiful girl, after all". Dad grunts in agreement, his face serious

Y/n's eyes widen, shock coursing through her. "What do you mean,'so many proposals'? I never heard about this before." She felt a pang of hurt, wondering why her parents had kept this from her. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Mom's expression softens, and she reaches out to pat Y/n's hand. Dad's face remains stern, but his eyes hold a touch of warmth. "We didn't want to pressure you, sweetheart. You're still so young, and we wanted you to focus on your career and enjoy your life. But now it's time for everything"

Y/n's heart races as she processes her parent's words. She feels a mix of emotions - hurt, confusion, and a hint of excitement. "So, all these proposals...they're serious?" She asks, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I'm supposed to choose one of them?"

Yeonjun walked into the house, his ears immediately picking up on the conversation happening in the living room. "...and Mingyu's family is so well-off. Plus, he's been a crush on Y/n for years. It would be a perfect match." Yeonjun said
Dad's face brightens as Yeonjun enters the room, welcoming him with a nod. "Ah, Our Yeonjun doctor is here! You're just in time. We were discussing Y/n's potential suitors." Mom beams at Yeonjun, hoping for his support.
Y/n's eyes flicker to the doorway, spotting Yeonjun standing there. A warmth spreading through her. She quickly looks away, trying to compose herself. "Mom, Dad, can we talk about this later?"
Dad waves a dismissive hand, eager to continue the conversation. "No, no, Y/n. Now that Yeonjun is here, we can discuss this properly. Mom nods eagerly, oblivious to the silent exchange between Y/n and Yeonjun"
Yeonjun's expression darkens briefly, but he masks it with a polite smile. "Mingyu had a crush on our Y/n since she was in college. but....ahh nothing, He's currently working in a biggest business company in Busan," he says, his voice steady. The parents lean forward eagerly, hoping for more information. "I already met him. i think he's a perfect match for our Y/n"

Y/n's breath hitches as she listens to Yeonjun's words, her heart pounding. She feels a mix of fear and excitement. She's torn between the life she knew - her comfortable routine, her family, her friends - and the uncertainty of a new relationship. And Mingyu..
Mom claps her hands, delighted with the news. "That's wonderful! We must invite him for dinner soon. And maybe you could put in a good word for him, Yeonjun?" Dad nods in agreement, his eyes gleaming with approval. "Yes, that's a excellent idea."
Yeonjun forces a smile, nodding along with their plans. "Of course, I'd be happy to help. Mingyu is a great guy, and I think he and Y/n would make a wonderful couple." But deep down, he feels a pang of regret coz he knows how much she loved Jungkook

"But uncle and aunt...Give our Y/n some time to think and I need to talk with her"
The parents' expressions sour slightly, but they relent, not wanting to upset Yeonjun. "Alright, alright. We won't pressure her. Mom pouts slightly. But you'll talk to her, right? Maybe you can convince her to at least meet him"

Y/n grabs her bag and hurries out the door, not waiting for a response. She takes deep breaths as she walks, trying to calm her racing heart. She reaches her house . Yeonjun also followed her
Yeonjun catches up to Y/n as she approaches her house. "Y/n, wait up," he calls out softly. She stops and turns to face him, her expression unreadable. "I'm sorry...about earlier," he says, rubbing the back of his neck.

Y/n's eyes well up with tears, her anger and fear overwhelming her. "They're trying to marry me off like some prized cow! And you're just going to help them?"
Yeonjun's heart aches as he sees Y/n's tears. He steps closer, wanting to comfort her. "Y/n, you know I would never want that for you. But they're your parents...and Mingyu, He's a great guy. I swear he's not like other guys."
Y/n steps back, not wanting Yeonjun's comfort. "You don't get it, Yeonjun. You don't understand how I feel. I don't want Mingyu. I don't want anyone they choose for me. I want...I want..." She trails off, her voice barely a whisper.
