Intro
“Ohmigod! He is sooooo hott!!!” The girl gushed, picking up a Big Bang cd.
The girl’s friend pointed to the cd. “TOP is my man…”
The one holding the CD giggled. “I’m going to marry TaeYang.” She blushed as the two of them giggled some more.
Then my sister butted-in. “Sorry, to tell you this ladies… but my sister,” She said pointing at me, “..is going to marry TaeYang.”
I rolled my eyes and turned away as my sister kept blabbing away. I heard the girls laughed and ask if my sister is also a VIP like them.
“Yes, I’m a BB fan too but I am serious when I said my sister over here will marry TaeYang.”
Yeah… like they’d believe that, my dearest unni. So instead of looking like a total babo, I pulled her out of the store. “Unni, why do you have to do this all the time?!”
She looked at me as if I’m the stupid one. “Lee EunMi, we both know that you two will marry, ‘tis only right for them to know that he’s hands-off.”
I sighed. My sister is crazy! As if those girls would believe her…
If you think she’s bluffing, then you’re dead wrong. She was telling the truth, I am going to marry him and if you think I’m so happy I could drop dead about it, then you are double dead wrong.
How did all this happen?
It’s one of those old stories where someone’s grandfather owes someone’s grandfather and made a promise, a deal to repay for it. In my case, TaeYang’s Grandfather swore to my Grandfather that he’d take care of our family, a way of repaying his debt. My Grandfather lend him the money, risking his own business and so the problem was solved. Then, the deal was made- his one year old grandson will marry my grandfather’s yet to be born granddaughter a.k.a Me ( I considered my self the sacrifice..)
“You’re a lucky gurl, my sister! Girls drool over your man.” My sister teased.
“Okay, first, I don’t consider my self lucky and second, he is not my man. Why wasn’t I born first? So you could marry him instead.” I looked left and right as we crossed the street.
“Me?? * giggles* Marry him? * giggles* oh… I couldn’t possibly~~” and then she giggled some more.
“ Stop being an old fashioned Ajumma and celebrate your luck! If I were you, I’d demand an engagement ring right away and then walk around with my arms clinging to his biceps saying ‘Yeah. I know he’s hot and he’s mine!’”
I looked at her from the corner of my eye. Right now, my sister has ‘FANGIRL’ written in big bold red letters on her forehead.
She continued. “Haven’t you ever wondered what his arms would feel like? I mean it’s obvious the guy works-out… what a great bod.” She turned to me for approval.
What? She expects me to bob my head up and down like those toy dog car accessories? “Unni, you’re basically lusting over your brother-in-law.”
That shut her up! Haha! Tho I know she’d start again after a while.
I wasn’t mad at her at all. I know she isn’t really ‘lusting’ over him and I don’t really care. I just wanted her to stop spazzing about that boy.
She looked at her watch and stopped. “EunMi!!! We lost track of time!”
I looked at mine- 1:30 in the afternoon. We were supposed to be home by 1 to help mom bake cookies. We have a small bakeshop at home, our only source of income. It’s not fancy at all but just enough make us get by and pay the bills.
