Contract

I stud there dumbfounded, what was I supposed to say when your asked this ?

I had finally regained my composure and responded. " What did you just say ? "

My father had  hesitantly responded.
" I'm sorry but it's the only way we can save our company and everything. " he exclaimed

I was loss of word... until my mom had responded.

" You don't have to do this if you don't want to but it would really help. "

" you both are leaving me no choice, how can i live knowing you both lost something so important " I said frustrated

How was I supposed to live with myself after knowing that I could have done something, something to save the company but choose not to. But why this, why is this the only option ? Why is marring someone I don't even know my last option ?

" Wait if you both claim to be good friends with these people, why have I never seen them or heard of them ? "

" oh hun but you have " my mother explained

" Mr. and Miss. jeon " my dad chimed in

" oh, them, wait they have a son ? "

" Yes, and that would be who you'd be marring " My mom replied
" In fact we could call them right now to make the arrangements"

" you know we would never make you do something like this but we really need this right now, there's no other way we can save the company"

I would love more than anything to run away from this, and say I didn't care but I do. I know how much the company means to them. There's no way my conscious is going to let me walk out of this one.

I just needed time to think things through, I thought, but do I really even have a say in this ?

Therefore I came to the conclusion that I probably don't have another choice.

"I'll do this-" I said

As soon those words left my mouth, my mothers once worried expression, now filled with relief. My fathers expression was unreadable, I had no idea if I actually meant I was going to do or if I had just said it because i has no other choice. Like I said they are my parents so there no way I could say no.

All that was left, was the most worrying question I keep telling myself " what am I getting myself into?"
