If there is no Bigbang

Part 8

Daesung walks meekly to the Hospital Director's office. He forces himself to meet that old man and literally drags his feet. He knocks several times on the door and wait for the old man to give him permission to enter.

"Come have a seat Dr Kang" the Director of Kyung Hee Hospital, Prof Park Sang Won, chirps happily as he sees his soon to be son-in-law walk into his office. He gestures his hand to the empty sofa beside his beautiful daughter.

Daesung let out a soft sigh and take the seat beside his fiancée. His posture is stiff. He doesn't even look at Mina who currently wrapping his fingers with hers. Mina doesn't seem to bother at all with Daesung's lack of affection. She smiles sweetly and give a peck on Daesung's cheek and Daesung force himself to not wipe Mina's sticky lipstick stain. "Oppa you must be tired for working all day" she says while resting her head on her fiancé's broad shoulder.

"Of course he's tired. But he still did a good job like always." Prof Park muses to his daughter. "I heard from Director Yeo that you have successfully undergo the surgery for Sir Chales's Benign tumours. You make me proud son." He then praises Daesung rather proudly. He always got his eyes on Daesung from the first day Daesung enter Kyung Hee Hospital as a trainee. The young man is a quick learner and really competent with his work. Since the beginning Daesung always stuns the others by his excellent work; he wrote about complete report of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma for his thesis, introduce a new skill for immunotherapy that doesn't give side effects to the cancer patients and every surgery that Daesung lead always end with success. After Daesung get appointed as one of the non-executive board, he decides to marries his daughter off to Daesung. Their wedding will be held next month and Prof Park can't wait to boast to other people about his son-in-law's achievements. It will do good for his image and also it will create more path for Daesung in his career if he enters his family. It's a win-win situation for both.

"It's nothing Prof Park. I got a lot of help from other people" Daesung tries to be modest. His eyes fix on the table in front of him, ignoring Mina that is playing with his fingers. "Anyway, why are you calling me here?"

Prof Park give a warm smile and hands a file to Daesung. "This is the list of all the important person that will be attending your wedding next month. It will be helpful for you to prepare yourself before meeting them if you study about them first"

Daesung take the file and give a nod. Prof Park is a very efficient man and he know exactly how to create acquaintance with other people. It's all business. Just like this arrange marriage with Mina, Daesung just accept the fact that he just a mere pawn for Prof Park. Not that he cares. In fact, he is glad the old man likes him a lot that even want to register him into their family. The Park family is a well-known doctorate chaebol in Korea, by entering that family it's a matter of time before Daesung can be on top of the boards.

After talking for several more minutes, Daesung excuse himself from the room to continue his work but Mina follow him from behind. "You should at least smile a little back there. Can't risk my father know that you're not happy with our wedding plan"

Daesung stop on his trails and look back to Mina who stand in front of the door. "Sorry, I don't act well like you do." He says coldly.

"At least try a little you idiot. You think I want to kiss or put my hand on your filthy body? I had to do that to convince my father that we are a happy couple. You going all moody and stiff is not helping at all. Why can't you use your brain for once? If my father thinks we don't love each other, he might cancel our wedding. Do you want that? It's your loss!" Mina glares to her fiancé. She really hates this arrange marriage with this scruffy-looking doctor in front of her but she need to do this for the sake of her family's appearance.
