Beginning of the same day...

Jung Suk winced at the sound of his phone alarm. He had spent the entire night at his office in an attempt to get ahead in work in order to be on schedule when he got back from his honeymoon with his mystery wife. His father had sprung the marriage on him the day before, leaving him with a sour mood and a lot of work to get ahead on.

When he finally lifted his head from his desk, Secretary Kim was sitting in the chair on the other side of Jong Suk's desk. Secretary Kim was with Jong Suk 24/7. They had been friends all throughout high school. That was back before they had to speak with formalities in front of everyone. Back when Secretary Kim was referred to as Kim Soo Hyun and Mr. Lee was referred to by everyone as Jong Suk.

"Goodmorning Princesses." Soo Hyun teased. Jong Suk sat up and straightened his tie. His hair was still slightly messed up but he could care less about it now. "You could have asked me to help. That is kind of my job now." Soo Hyun face held a smile despite his serious tone.

"Do you still refuse to use formalities at the office?" Jong Suk scolded. He began to gather his paper work into neat piles.

"I'll be Secretary Kim when someone walks in" Soo Hyun teased again.

Jong Suk sighed.

"You really have become dull Jong Suk" Soo Hyun sighed and started going through the day's schedule, "I feel sorry for your future wife. All you do is work now. Your sourness has gotten worse." Jong Suk didn't respond. He just glared down at the work he didn't finished the night before.

"You don't come out for dinner or over to my home anymore. We barely see each other out of work." Soo Hyun complained.

"I'm sorry I make money," Jong Suk said "Feels like i'm just getting another wife tomorrow. You are acting like a wife right now."

The two boys scowled at each other for a moment. Then they went back to their work, finally beginning their jobs for the day.

"Ok so the schedule today... meet with the trainees to introduce them to the agency, and meet with your future wife's mother. She is the one who arranged the marriage. Then tomorrow is the wedding. Your father won't make it to the ceremony-"

"Why" Jong Suk muttered, "He is the one who set it up"

Soo Hyun pretended not to hear as he continued, "Just a warning, I've heard that your future Wife's mother is a difficult one. She hasn't seen her daughter since her daughter started high school. She sent her to a boarding school apparently. I feel even worse for the daughter now. No mother for years. I don't think she sees her dad much either. Since he runs the Television company, he is probably busy with that all the time."

"I'm the same though. My father just doesn't care though." Jong Suk retaliated.

"Yes but you have a lovely Aunt that you see all the time. She doesn't seem to have that."

"How do you know all of this anyway?" Jong Suk asked.

"We hired someone to look into her." Soo Hyun said, "Well your father did."

"He hired a stalker" Jong Suk muttered again. Finally he stood up and walked out of the office with Soo Hyun following close behind.

"So where are we meeting her mother?" Jong Suk asked, less than excited for the meeting.

"There is a fancy cafe two blocks from here. She said she is in a booth at the back window. I'm sure it won't be hard to figure out who she is." Soo Hyun

Just then the two men heard a loud frustrated yell from a few feet in front of them. They stopped to watch a young girl, probably college age, stomp her feet on the concrete. The rest of the scene happened in slow motion. On impact, her heeled shoe snapped, which caused her to fall forward, right onto her knees. "AISH!" she yelled. Her eyes where puffing as if she was going to cry.

"We should do something." Jong Suk whispered to Soo Hyun.

"When did you become so nice?" He teased back.

"There are people who know me around. This will be good publicity" Jong Suk's harsh mood magically changed. He put on his perfect fake smile and quickly walked to the damsel.

He continued on with his act as he helped her up and asked Soo Hyun to call for and pay for a cab. The girl was completely entranced by them.

"You just made another fan" Soo Hyun teased as they walked away from where they had left her to the cab driver.

"She looked like a fool didn't she? She seemed like a rich brat" Jong Suk said, rolling his eyes. He did this to every girl or elder who seemed in trouble. If he had learned anything, it was that stuff like that got good publicity and only made him seem more like the ideal man.

Soo Hyun's smiled faded away for a second and glared and at Jong Suk. Jong Suk had been so nice in high school. Probably because he had no one except Soo Hyun so when someone came along, he had to be nice to keep them with him. Soo Hyun hated that about Jong Suk but just like Jong Suk only had him, he only had Jong Suk. It was a twisted relationship.

He only hoped that this future wife would teach Jong Suk a lesson or two. He feared that nothing would change.
