Lonna sat nervously fidgeting with her fingers as Suga's grandmother stared at her silent. The only sound Lonna could hear in the silence was her own heart pounding in her ears. She felt sick and scared. She wished that grandmother would just speak, the anticipation was killing her.

"Lonna." Her wish was granted quickly, but instead of calming her, the way grandmother said her name made her flinch.

"Yes?" Lonna didn't dare look her in the eyes. She felt if she did, she could read her thoughts, sense her fear.

"What I wanted to ask is..." Lonna gulped, as tiny droplets of sweat started to form on her brow. "I can see that you and Yoongi are very close." Lonna's eyes snapped up from the floor, her mind was reeling.

We have been discovered! The thought made her already nervous stomach flip. It was a matter of time before it made her sick.

"Although you're not blood related," Lonna's mind was blank as grandmother spoke again. "To get along so well, I think is rare. Only between you young people, do you share what's on your mind. So I must ask you, is Yoongi dating?"

"Huh?" Lonna was thrown for a loop with the question. That was not what she had expected.

"I'm asking does Yoongi have a girlfriend?" Lonna didn't even realize until now that she had been holding her breath. "That child doesn't tell me anything, I thought since you were close, he might have told you."

Lonna felt like a huge weight was lifted off her chest. "That...I'm not sure." Her mind was still having trouble making sense of what was going on. My heart almost stopped, I thought she had found out.

Grandmother sighed as she looked sympathetically at Lonna. "If he has a girlfriend, then it is too bad for her."

"Grandma, excuse me..." Lonna was trying her hardest to understand what grandmother was saying, she felt like she was trying to tell her something, and Lonna was lost to what it could be. "When you say "her", you mean?"

Grandmother scoffed in amusement of Lonna's confusion. "Actually, it's a very good marriage prospect for Yoongi."

Lonna could feel her heart drop at the words. "A good marriage prospect?"

Suga's POV

Suga walked into the candy shop that stood in the middle of the mall. He approached the cashier, who smiled sweetly at him. "I need chocolate, with nuts." He said. The cashier nodded in understanding as she asked him to follow her.

The Ferrero Rocher chocolates sat forgotten on the arm of grandmother's chair as she held out the photo book, she had received. "It's this girl." Lonna felt like the world was crashing around her. Suga stared at the girl he had helped at the glasses store with disdain.

"Here is the fruit, have so..." Seeing the picture and feeling the tense atmosphere, Pamela froze in silence. She slowly placed the tray on the coffee table.

"Definitely..." Suga's yell broke the awkward silence and made everyone jump. "No!" He continued to scream as he stared at the picture.

Lonna's POV

"Arranged marriage?" Krystal and Momo asked at the same time. Lonna sat quietly in the cafe as she lifelessly stirred her straw around in her drink.

"The kind of dating with marriage as a condition?" Momo asked.

"Mmhm." Was all Lonna said.

"It's the 21st century." Krystal stated. "His grandmother's thinking is so old fashioned." She said angrily. "He is just a freshman and she is doing arranged dating? It's a bit much."
