Inyeong’s POV
“An arranged marriage?” I repeated my mother’s words. “You want me to participate in your little plan with abeoji and be engage to someone I don’t know? Umeoni you-”
My mother disturbs my sentence, “Child, you’re already 26 years of age and you still don’t have someone to be with you as your husband. Your father and I are just concerned about your future.”
“Umeoni, I just want to remind you about your last attempt to get me engaged. It was all a fail.”
“That was before. You should have forgotten about him already.”
That’s right, I should have forgotten him already. After what he has done, I should have forgotten him.
3 years ago, my parents made a deal with another couple to engage me and their son, Yu Hyuk Jae. Supposedly, the plan was to hold the marriage when I reach 25 but Hyuk Jae got a woman pregnant and stubbornly said that he would marry the woman who carries his child. Not me. The experience left me in pain. I had already fallen for his charm and everything but, it happened. But his decision isn't the main reason why it became such a scar. I heard Hyuk Jae talk to his best friend discussing that he despises women like me. Even quoted that women like me aren’t worth to be married and should be left alone to die alone.
Ever since then, I never wanted to hear the same kind of statement from anyone. Same to geting involve in arrange marriages organized by my parents.
“Child, please. Give your father and I a chance to make it up to you after our mistake,” my dearest mother pleaded me.
“Umeoni, I don’t want to face the same fate again. Ever. So please, stop it. You can cancel your arrangement with the other couple. I’m not going.”
Before I could put down the call, my mother cries, “Please Inyeong, just this once! If this won’t work then I promise you that your father and I won’t anymore disturb you about your love life anymore. Please. Give us a chance. Just one more chance.”
Please don't make me regret this. I sigh in disbelief, “What time and where exactly?”
Yesung’s POV
“Hyung!” Ryeowook called. “Where are you going?”
I turn to meet his eyes, "Ah, I'm going to the cafe."
Our recording ended and it's my free time now. I will definitely be bored back at the dorm if I'd go there. It would be best if I would help my family back at the cafe.
Before I step outside the recording studio, manager Kim reminds me, "Yah, Yesung-ah, there will be a photo shoot later afternoon for the album. Don't be late, okay?"
"Got that!" I showed him an okay sign.
I make my way to the parking lot, hop on my pretty car and drive out the SM building. It takes me some time to arrive at the cafe due to the traffic. I glance inside, seeing a few people present. I park my car at the nearby parking area.
To my surprise, when I turn around, my younger brother, Jongjin, is on his way to my direction. "Hyung!" he waved his hand. "How's work?"
"Same as always," I said. "Still the same concept and all."
"Oh yeah, umeoni wants to talk to you. It's about something important."
I shoot him a confuse look. "What's the important matter all about?"
He shrugs his shoulders, "You should just go ask her if you want to know."
My brother and I jog together to the cafe.
