Miss Prim and Proper
She's always a Yes Dad, okay Dad, no problem Dad all her life. She follows everything he says and commands. What would she do if her father asks her to marry someone she dreaded the most? Would she still be a Yes-girl? or will...
That was the longest breakfast I've ever had in my whole life. Ugh! I really want to stand up already and leave them, but I can't.. or should I say, I won't...I mean I don't want to give that pervert the satisfaction of me leaving first... It would only look like he defeated me! So yeah, even if the bitch cousin of mine is shoving her breast to that idot, I stayed and try as much as possible to calm myself from that disgusting scene. Thank goodness, one of the maids showed up and told me that dad's already waiting for me in the study room. God's still good, I guess.
So here I am making my way to the study room and I can't deny the fact that I'm sort getting nervous by each step I take. I really have no idea what dad wants me to do this time.... Plus it's been a long time since we last saw each other... I wonder if he misses me too... I'm already in front of the study room but I don't have the strength to knock.... It took me a couple of minutes and a long deep sigh to do it...
"Come in..." I heard the cold voice of Dad and it didn't help me to calm down... After a deep sigh, I turned the knob and went inside.
Just as I entered I noticed that the interior of the room changed, but the eerie feeling is still there. It's not that the room is scary or anything. It's just that this is the room of the coldest person I've ever met is, and unfortunately, that person is my father.
There he is sitting on his swivel chair like a king sitting on his thrown. His face's unreadable, cold, emotionless. Now tell me, who wouldn't be scared of that?
"Good morning dad..." I said to him and I was about to go to his side to give him a hug or a kiss on a cheek when he spoke....
"Take a sit, Sung Kyung..." Oh well, somethings doesn't really change. Looks like he really misses me.
When I was young, I would always ask my nanny why dad is always not around on my birthdays. My nanny would tell me that dad's just busy. But when I was 10 years old, one kid at school said that my dad doesn't love me..That I am the reason why my mom is dead.
I know my mom died of giving birth to me., it was never a secret. But hearing those made my young heart broke. Even if my relatives and my brother don't blame me of what happened, somehow that words of that kid struck me like lighting. I mean it make sense right? That's the reason why dad is always not around on my birthdays and why he's so cold to me.
I cried and cried that day. I didn't went out of my room . Jong Suk and Soo Jin went to my room at night time. Jong Suk comforted me and told me that it's not true... that dad loves me and that it was not my fault why mom died. Soo Jin on the other hand, said that I already look ugly and my crying just adds up to my ugliness. So she said that I should just stop crying if I don't want to look uglier. Such a bitch right? Though I must admit, it did made me stop crying.
Through the years, I kept it to myself, that somehow I felt responsible of mom's death, of dad's cold persona and unhappiness. I made a promised to myself that I would follow everything that he wishes and commands even if it's not why I want. It's the only thing that I could do. I couldn't bring mom back to life. And so I'll just try to make dad happy even if it means unhappiness for me.

I was lost in my thoughts when Dad suddenly spoke....
"How was the company in California?" he said, not eyeing me and just continued scanning the papers in front of him...
"It's doing good dad. The investors in China already signed the contract for our next project..." I replied to him....
"Good to hear that....." he said... I was about to reply when he continued speaking.... "You might be wondering why I made you come back here... As you may remember, your late grandfather believes in traditions. You know that right?" He said, now while looking at me with his dead cold eyes...
"Yes, I know dad..." I replied immediately....
"As I was saying,before he died he asked me a favor... Your grandfather made a pack to Mr. Nam that he would let one of his granddaughter marry one of Mr. Nam's grandson... And since you're Dad's favorite granddaughter.... He choose you..." Dad said without even blinking. And it's as if it's just business that we are dealing and talking about.
I was just speechless for moment. Did I heard that right? I would marry a Nam?
"A Nam?" I asked, almost a whisper, scared that I didn't misheard him.
"Yes a Nam..." he simply answered.
Are you kidding me? Does Grandpa really loves me? I mean, why me? Could he just pick Soo Jin instead? my head is spinning and I think I'm going to get sick from all of this information. Should I say no to dad? But I promised to do everything he wants. What shall I do? And the most important question is who's the Nam that I should marry if ever?
With all of that on mind, Dad suddenly spoke... "So do you have any questions?" He said.
"Who's the Nam that I would be marrying Dad?" I said. Oh please not that jerk, I was silently praying while waiting for Dad's answer...
"Nam Joo Hyuk...." he replied...
"Pardon?" I asked.... I think something's wrong with my ears today!
"Are you deaf? I said Joo Hyuk, your brother's bestfriend." He replied irritably....
Oh dear heavens! Did I just heard it right?! Nam Joo Hyuk? That bastard? Me and That arrogant pervent jerk? No way! That's not gonna happen...
