Black Bride (Sesul)

BLACK

All were sitting in the special room of the restaurant. Only the space next to a woman, lost its owner, the seat facing to his. The old elegant woman started to feel sorry to the others for the lateness of the young lady.

The dishes were already laid on the table and they were still in silence and didn't move even for an inch. The eldest woman enveloped herself with the woolen shawl in a gentle way, adding a smile on her lips when she looked at the mother of the young boy.

" Let's have the meal first. Jinri may be busy to come here.", she stated. His fingers played on the table without caring about the words what she had said. The eld women all turned their eyes to him and his fingers. His mother tapped on his thigh to get an attention. He stopped and looked at her deriving a glare from the elder. He immediately placed his hands on his thigh as a respect to the elders, he lowered his head a little.

" I'm sorry, young man.. My grandaughter is a bit stubbron.", said Hye Ja to Sehun.

Before Sehun had replied a word, his mother stated, " It's ok. He's the first one who is in fault. He didn't go to the place where they appointed to meet.".

" Oh.. It's fine.. Ok.. Let's enjoy the meal.", she said.

" Yes, Mrs. Choi also.", his mother looked at the woman who was still in silence.

" Ah.. Yes.", she was about to hold the spoon and fork, Kim Hye Ja tapped her, then whispered, " Try to call Jinri first.", into her ears after tagging closer.

" Yes.", she took her phone out from the bag on her thigh and pressed her number. But the other line only answered that she couldn't answer the call. Then she whispered it back to her mother. The anger in her raised up but the wise woman can handle it well.

She smiled at the woman in front of her, but she was still between the tight walls because of her clever grandaughter.

They were already having their tea time after lunch, but the soon-to-be bride was still nowhere to be found.

The grandmother dropped the cup back on the table after taking a sip and so did his mother, " I hope this marriage will work.", she said.

" Of course, it will. Even if Jinri's not here, she will be there at the wedding day. I promise it.", said Hye Ja.

" Young man, you haven't seen her yet, right?", she turned to Sehun who was still sipping his tea. He placed the cup on the table and answered politely, " Yes.".

" Jinri is a beautiful lady whom all men dream of. She's clever and wise.. I bet you two will be the best match in this world.", she praised of her grandaughter.

Sehun smiled weirdly, " Yes.", Jinri's mom found it funny seeing her mother praising her daughter.

" Jinri sounds willing to break this arrangement..", his mom spoke.

" No. Not like that. Jinri's a bit stubbron. That's why she's acting like that. She'll accept it no matter what.", Kim Hye Ja said.

" But it seems that she doesn't like me, does she?", said Sehun.

" It's right..", Jinri's mother murmured but they all could hear.

Hye Ja gave a glare to the younger woman that made her to stay silent like a frightening cat. She turned to look at Sehun with a sweet smile, " Love doesn't matter in life that much. You two can build it slowly after getting married.".

" It's right. I grantee that Jinri will fall for Sehun since he's really good at capturing the hearts of the girls.", his mom said.

" .. I don't think so..", she murmured again and Hye Ja glared at her again. She zipped her mouth off till the time of this appointment would end.
