WHO ON EARTH DID I MARRY ?

05: The unprepared meeting of my in-laws.

The room was totally silent for about five minutes which felt like an hour till the older man who seems to be my husbands father finally spoke.

'' kwang -su! "

His voice was deep and commanded respect.

"How was your study in America?''

My husband replied.

" Wonderful, I successfully completed my MBA ''

'' Good, so who is this gentleman that came back with you? Is he a friend? "

He asked this question in a hypocritical tone like he was mocking me while looking directly in my eyes, mind you, this question was directed to his son, so why are his intimidating old eyes on me?

The next thing that came out of my husband's mouth was that I am his best friend who studied together with him in New York.

BEST FRIEND?... Who the fuck is his best friend? I am his best friend? Fucking best friend indeed, my head was bowed and my legs were shivering, I was fuming with anger but I dare not open my mouth.

So many crazy taught in my head, how could he deny me so easily like this? I was in both in shock and in denial.

So I withdrew my second hand from him and used it to cover the ring on my finger on my laps underneath the table.

I move my eyes side ways and I discovered his wedding ring was no more on his finger.

When did he take it off? At what point exactly? How come I didn't notice?

Guess I was too exited to be back to Korea to notice that he had long removed his ring.

No wonder he was all moody and clumsy about our return, now everything started to make sense.

Piece by piece, I put it all together in my head, his behaviour after our graduation. Getting a job like someone who was not ready to return home and encouraging me to get one too.

Now it all seems to make sense, by now I was sweating and couldn't breath properly.

The next thing I heard from the old man was.

"You! What is your name?"

He deliberately said this in a low deep intimidating tone, I was startled a little, raised my head and responded.

"Do...D..Dong Woo...Jae Dong Woo sir"

I was so nervous that I couldn't even pronounce my name properly because my heart was pounding so fast and almost peeing in my pants.

Can you blame me? He is the almighty Lee Kwang-Su of the most powerful company in Asia and he is sitting right in front of me, I was never prepared for this.

He asked again.

"Who are you parents? And Where do they live?"

My husband quickly shouted.

"Father! "

His father shushed him with a deadly glare to keep quite and made this finger urging me to answer.

"My..My father is late and my mom and younger sister...they both live In Seoul and my mother owned a restaurant."

"Hmm..."

Was all he said like he was under-looking my family background.

He turned to look at my husband and asked if one of the drivers needed to drop me off in my family house as there are urgent matters that needed to be attended to.

I quickly stood up ready to go, It was so stuffy that I couldn't breath, my husband held my hands and pulled me back to sit.

My husband clearly his throat like he has something to say to his Dad

"Father..there is something I want to tell..."

His words was cut short by his father who told him to see me off and come back later to talk.

The next thing his Dad said almost made me collapsed.

"My son, I hope you have been in touch with Hyeon Seo your fiancee, you should know that your marriage with her will bring our family good financial fortune and business alliances, now that you are back, your mother will invite her and her family over tomorrow evening for a dinner so that we can set up the engagement and marriage right away, their family has waited for too long and almost losing patience with us."

I could hear siren blowing in my ears, No! I didn't hear clearly right? I must have heard wrongly.

My husband whom is legally married to me in the US is engaged to be married in Korea?

It keeps getting worst and worst.

I started hyperventilating, my husband quickly rushed and took a leather for me to blow air inside to be able to control my breath.

His father turned to me and asked.

"Do you have asthma or something?"

My husband quickly answered his old man by simply saying that I
had flight phobia and that anytime I fly a long journey, I usual hyperventilate from time to time, what a lie.

And that it was nothing serious,what a convenient lie, his father seems not to believe him, who knew my hubby can lie like this? No wonder he perfectly kept this whole thing from me.

His father is a wise and an old man, I think he knows his son was lying, my husband gave me water to drink so that I can calmed down a bit.

Using this opportunity ,my husband begged his father, trying to explain to him that it was late and it will be a bad idea for me to return home this night.

After pausing for a while, the old man nodded and told my husband to be at his office first thing tomorrow morning.

He stood up and took me to one of the guest rooms, under their servant prying eyes, he couldn't stay with me.

The maids brought along my luggage to the room with us.

Before my husband left, he bent down and whisper to my ears.

"Babe, please don't be too angry OK, I will come back later when everyone is a sleep in the middle of the night and explain everything to you, for now just shower and rest OK."

He turn around and closed the door behind him.

Who on earth did I marry?
