Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 1

"So?"

"So what?"

"So what do you think?"

Kimmon glanced at the array of photographs that were spread out on the table in front of him. Each photograph captured a smiling face of various different women who all appeared about his age. He blinked a couple of times at the numerous faces before looking up to meet his grandmother's expectant eyes. Kimmon felt a bead of sweat slowly trickling down the back of his neck. He was starting to get a very bad feeling about this.

"Uhh, they all look like fine ladies," Kimmon reluctantly commented after a moment of hesitation.

His grandmother instantly beamed at him. "Well, you are the lucky man who will get a chance to meet each and every one of them."

"What?!"

Kimmon's jaw dropped in shock. The hell?! Unfazed by her grandson's bewilderment, Parn continued to relay her grand plans in an excited voice.

"I've set up dates for you to meet all of these fine ladies this weekend."

"What?! Why?!"

"What do you mean why? It's time for you to finally settle down and get married."

He couldn't believe his ears. Kimmon looked at the photographs again and then returned his stare of disbelief back towards his grandmother. Of course, he was already quite used to her constant nagging about his (non-existent) plans for marriage, but he wasn't expecting her to actually act upon her demands. And, certainly, not this soon. Seriously, he had just turned 28 this year! In this day and age, it was still way too early for him to think about marriage.

"Why the rush?"

"Boy, I'm turning eighty this year," Parn murmured with a sigh. "Who knows how long I'll have? My last wish is to see you getting married."

Frowning, Kimmon denied her statement in an instant. "Grandma, you and I both know that you have another century ahead of you. I mean, look at yourself! You could easily pass as my older sister."

She peered at him suspiciously. "Nope, your sweet talking isn't going to work this time."

Damn it. Hiding his disappointment, he quickly reasoned with her another way.

"P'Tao is getting married in a few months. Isn't that enough for now?"

"Tao is Tao. Now it's your turn." Parn subsequently gave him a disapproving look. "And seriously, Kim, even your brother is getting married. He's way more of a workaholic than you, but he managed to find his perfect match just fine."
