The Last Hope

Breakfast

*Mark

Mark wake up after hearing his alarm ringing. He must get ready to the Lee's for the breakfast. He quickly take his towel and make his way to the bathroom and shower.

After a fresh morning shower, he went to his dresser and pick up a nice red polo shirt and his black jeans before fix his hair. After checking his appearance, he went downstairs and took his car keys.He started the engine and off to Lee's. Luckily, Mr Lee already gave his address before, so Mark just put the address at the gps.

*Mijoo

Being such a morning bird, she went down to help the maid to prepare the breakfast. Her maid want to stop her but Mijoo insist.She just take the pancake batter that her maid prepare before put it on the pan. She waited for the pancake to cook and do another one. After the batter finished, she put the pancakes at the table.

As she set up the table, the bells ring.

"Mijoo, go open the door. I think its Mark" her father said as he come to the dining table.
"Okay, dad"

Mijoo asked the other maid to prepare the table while she open the gate. She walked to the gate and open it and saw a tall figure standing with his back facing her.

"Emm. Mark?" she hesitate.

He turned around and facing her.

"Yes, its me."
"Come in. My dad already waiting for you" she said before walked leaving him.
"Okay"

Both of them walked to the dining table. Mijoo sat at her usual place while Mark sit across her. As usual, Mijoo serve his father. Since Mark was there also, she need to serve him as well. She put a piece of pancake on her father's plater before put a little maple syrup.

"Emm Mark. What do you want? Pancake or toast?" she asked, shyly.
"I'll take pancake" he said.

Mijoo pointed to the syrup and butter, as a sign asking him if he want. Mark just nodded. She handed Mark the pancake, before do hers.

Three of the eat silently, but Mijoo's dad break the ice.

"Mark, after this, I want you to bring Mijoo to pick up her dress"

Mijoo, who was drinking at that time, almost chocked.

"Dad, why so fast?" she asked.
"Well your wedding is next week, so its not fast" he said before take a sip of his coffee.
"I need to go now. Mark, take care of her"
"Yes Mr Lee" Mark answered.
"Bye, princess" Mr Lee kissed Mijoo's forehead.

After her father went to work, the atmosphere become awkward, again. They just silently, until Mark finished.

"I'll wait for you outside" he said.
"Okay. I'll get ready" she said

Mijoo walked back to her room,
changed to her purple plain skirt and  floral blouse and a pair of white Converse before put a light make up. She just slightly brushed her hair. She took her purse and put her phone and make sure her card were there before make her way to Mark.

Mark waited Mijoo at her front yard. He sit at a bench near a water fountain while playing games at his phone.

"Mark, we should go now" he heard someone talked to him.

Mark looked straight and gasped when he saw Mijoo.

"Mark" Mijoo called him, and he back to reality.
"Let's go"

Mark drove the car silently. Mijoo also choose to be quiet and just looking outside the windows. Another awkward situation between them. They arrived at one of the famous wedding boutique that was owned by Mark's auntie.
