The Last Hope

Friend

"Mijoo-ya, are you okay?" Jisoo asked.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired" she sighed.
"Hey, if you got problems, you can always tell me. You acted so differently today"

Jisoo have known Mijoo since kindergarten, yet she know all of her problems. Including, Mijoo's strict father.

"It's okay. Let's go"

Both of them walked together to the bus station. Even though Mijoo came from a wealthy family, she hated being pampered. She prefer to use the bus insted of her driver send her to school. Only sometimes, if Jisoo didn't have classes as the same day with her, she would asked the driver to send her.

*Lunch

"Mijoo, why you're not eating?" Jisoo asked.
"I don't have any appetite"
"Hello, it's chicken burritos. Your favourite"

Mijoo continued silent and played with her food.

"Okay, that's it. Come here"

Jisoo grabbed Mijoo wrist and bring her out from the cafeteria. She brought Mijoo to the collage garden. She pushed Mijoo to sit on a bench.

"Ouch, that's hurt" Mijoo whined.
"Mian (Sorry). You know that I hate you being gloomy all day. So now, better you told me what happened to you" Jisoo sat beside Mijoo.

Mijoo sighed as she know that she couldn't keep any secret to her ultimate best friend.

"You know that my father really strict, right?"
"Of course"
"He forced me to get married"
"What?" Jisoo shocked

Mijoo nodded.

"I don't know what's gotten in him but suddenly yesterday, he asked me to go to his company and bammm, he said I need to get married with his business partner. And he's Chinese"
"Chinese man is hot, you know" Jisoo nudged her.
"Ya!"

Jisoo laughed.

"And you need to remember, Mijoo. Your dad really loves you as you the only child he has. He must be wanted the best for you. And maybe his choice is the best for you"
"But I didn't know him at all. I never meet him or anything. I don't want to get married at this age. We just started the collage yet I need to settle down. I want to marry the guy who I love"
"Love can comes later"

Mijoo glared at Jisoo and she raised her arm as she defended.

"Where is your father?"
"China, meeting that stranger"
"That stranger will be your husband, tho" Jisoo said
"I don't want to get married. I didn't trust guy anymore"

Jisoo sighed. It's true. Mijoo already lost trust towards boys as she got heart broken with her ex. She still remember, during at that time, Mijoo just lost her mother and the next day, she caught her ex, Hoseok cheated behind her with another girl from her class. Since that day, she always have trust issue towards boys.

"Well, I don't know how to help you, but for this time, can you just turned back into smiley Mijoo because I, as your best friend, hate this gloomy Mijoo" Jisoo said
"Fine fine" Mijoo put her smile.

Indeed, Jisoo always know how to make her smile back.

"That's better. So how about shopping after class to release your stress?"
"Mine only? Yours?" Mijoo asked
"I'm perfectly fine. Its just you who thinking to much"
"Okay. I'll text Mr Kim to fetch us later" Jisoo nodded.

After that, both of them return to class. Luckily, after lunch, both of them have the same class.

*China

"AAAAHHHHHHHH" Mark screamed. Luckily, he was at a hill near his college with Jackson.
"Yo man, what's happening to you huh?" Jackson asked.
"I'm just feel stressed with my parents"
"Why?"
"They set me up. They forced me to get married with a girl I don't know her at all"
"WHAT? Mark freaking Tuan is already on his way to settle down? Amazing" Jackson clapped his hand.
"But, I don't want to marry her" Mark rolled his eyes.
"Why so sudden? It's 2015,man. No arranged marriage nowadays" Jackson exclaimed.
"I know. Its all about the company. If I didn't married that girl, my father will take all my cards, car and will inherit his company to Junhui. I cannot let Junhui take over the company"

Jackson nodded as he drank his cola.

"And, she's Korean"
"She's what?" Jackson chocked.
"Korean"
"Dude, Korean girl are hot. Why don't you accept it?"
"For your information, I already accept it. If it wasn't because of the company, heck no I will married that girl"

Suddenly, an idea popped out from Jackson's head.

"Why don't you make a deal with her?"
"What deal?" Mark interested
"You just married with that girl, and after a few months, just divorce her. You've got the power man"
"Why I never thought about it?" Mark's eyes shine
"Well. It's Jackson, man"

They went silent for a while before Jackson asked him.

"When are you gonna meet that girl?"
"Next week. And I will make sire, I turned her life into hell" Mark smirked.
