SungJae's POV

        This morning breakfast session is a little bit weird. My parents spread some news that rollercoastered (it's a word now) my feelings. From sad news to annoying one. My mother said that her sister in law just called last night and told her that granny's health a little bit drop. I'm shocked, this is make me sad, remembering granny whom always nice to me, spoil me and always standing by my side everytime i had scolded by my parents.

        Granny is the only grandmother that i still have now, since my other grandmother from my mother side was already passed away 10 years ago. Hearing that she's not in a good condition now really made me sad.

        My parents planning on visit Tongyeong to check on granny this morning after breakfast. I, of course wanna go there too. 

        "No Sungjae-ah, today is first pay salary day since you work here, so it's good if you can see and learn how it works. You can catch us tonight after all work done," my father said. And i'm agreed. "Okay dad, actually i have some meetings and work to do today," i nodded as i put some pineapple jam on top of my bread.

        "But Sungjae-ah, there's another thing....," said my mom being cut by her self. She looks hesitant to continue. I'm just about to put my bread into my mouth when i see her keep starring at me for few seconds instead of continue speaking. I frowned at her. 

        "What mom?" i asked with a bread in my hand stopped in front of my mouth.

        "Well it's about... you know... your granny really wants you to come to Tongyeong this weekend for... you know...," my mother stop again and looking at my dad. I dropped my bread back in to the plate. I smell something not right here.

        "What is it?" i asked again, worried about the answer.

        "Yeah... i mean, granny wants to introduce you to her cousin in law's daughter. Like what i said on the phone the other day." she answered, curling her lips and rising up her eyebrows to me, as she understand that this news will make me feel unhappy. And it did. It really makes me feel annoyed and unhappy.

        "What??" i response immediately. My mom just shrug as she looking at my dad whose looking at her too. "What is it mom? seriously.... i thought...," I sighed heavily. I lost my words. It's already spoken before, but i really not expect it to come up now. Especially with granny's condition right now, i don't expect granny will even think about it. But i was wrong. Granny really is a woman with her words.

        "Mom... please, I really don't want to, I don't need that. This is ridiculous. I'm sure i can find my own match. We were already talk about this, weren't we?" I said nervously shaking my head.

        "I know, i already said that to granny. But she's insist. She said it just an introduction. You just need to know that girl first, and if you still don't like her after some times, then granny will not insist you to accept her anymore," my mother try to explain. 

        "Oh okay... then after that she will keep setting me up with another girls and asking me to go on another blind dates, as if i'm not capable to find my own love. Don't you think i look pathetic like that mom?" i said glaring at my mom, trying to hold my self for not being angry. After all this is not my mom fault. I believe she is confused too. She looked at me while sighing and dropping her shoulders. 

        "I know Sungjae-ah... but... i really don't know how to talk to your granny anymore, not when she start talking like her time will coming soon. You know that," she said in tired voice tone. 

        "Yeah... Sungjae-ah, just calm down. This is just an introduction, granny will not insist you to marry her if you don't like her. It's not a big deal." my father also try to convince me.
