"You're marrying my daughter! No matter what!"

"No, I'm done. I'm Never going to marrying Chorong."

*Eric's POV*
I walked away from Mr. Park. I was about to walk outside but I heard Y/n's name. "Y/n!?" Rose shouted. I saw Rose as she caught Y/n before she collapsed. "Let's go!" Rose said as she helped Y/n up and took her out for some air. I hid as she walked back inside to get a water bottle for Y/n. I walked out and sat by her. "I'm so sorry if this happened because of me." I said as I stroke her hair. She didn't wake up I got worried. I got up as I was about to open the door. "Eric?" Y/n said as she slowly opened her eyes. She got up quickly. She hugged me tightly once she noticed me. "Eric!? Can you stop hurting me?!" She shouted as she cried. I felt her heart beating fast. I could tell she was scared. "I thought I was going to lose you!" She yelled. "I'm sorry. I said 'No' so don't worry." I said as I kissed her head. "Eric?" She asked making me tremble as I heard her voice. "Yes?" I replied. She broke the hug. She took me where no one were. "That torch? Was it really about Chorong? Tell me the truth." She asked as I saw a tear fall down her face. "No. It was about you." I said as I held her hands. "You're beautiful even if you cry." I said as I chuckled. "Stop playing around!" She said as she hit my chest. "Mr. Park? What did he say?" She asked me. "Don't worry about him. Let's just focus on us. 'The past is the last thing you want to focus on right now.' Am I wrong?" I said as I repeated Y/n last time. "Hah. You're not wrong." Y/n said as she chuckled. "Y/n?" I wanted to tell her now. "Yeah?" She replied looking at my eyes. "I love you." I said as I tightly held her hands. She soon hugged me tightly. "I love you too." She made me the happiest person to ever hear those three words. "Maybe I could've felt terrible being your bully, but I'm also glad to be the one to hold you as mines." I said as I smiled and hugged her back.
*Rose's POV*
I went inside as I found the drinks. Chorong was mad and crying. "Chorong? What happened?" I asked her. "Eric, he said no." She said as she began to cry even more. "It's okay. He's a jerk anyways. I know someone who loves you dearly." I said as I sat by her. "Who?" She replied. "His name is Q." I said as I smiled. "He would treat you better." I said as she said. "Rose. I have to make a confession." Chorong said. "What is it?" I replied. "I'm only acting like this for my father. I'm truly in love with Q. I don't really love Eric. I'm surprised he said 'no'. I thought he would marry someone he didn't love. Truly I see him as a jerk but he can also be someone kind, caring and romantic. Does Q really do?" She said as I was shocked. "Yes, He does." I said still shocked. "Oh. I also want to apologize to Y/n. Can you take me to her?" She said as she stood up. Oh my gosh! I forgot about her. I took Chorong with me to find Y/n. Gladly she was in Eric's arms.
*Y/n's POV*
"Oh! Rose? Chorong? I'm sorry." I said as I bowed. "No! Don't be!" Rose said. After they told me how Chorong feels and about her acts, she apologized for hitting me that day. Her father was watching her actions. "I'm so sorry." Chorong said. "It's okay." I said. "Y/n? We can finally be together." Eric said as he put his arms around my waist. I smiled. "Yeah we can." Later that night he spent the night at halmoni's. Juyeon was still there with us. We couldn't hang out together until we had permission from Juyeon, but we secretly go on dates at night. "I'll forever be by your side. Don't be scared anymore." Eric said..

"Capture Y/n! Bring her to me and Eric and Chorong will get married. For sure now."
