a week later the 3 of us were in one plane, heading to Korea.
we didn’t talk that much about marriage after that and my mom didn’t allow me to see her picture, saying u will lose the worth of the first impression, whatever, I didn’t care.

last night my dad came into my room and told me "I’m sure u understand the importance of this contract...and I’ve seen her...she's a good girl"
Of course I know the importance of this contract, if we lose it, it’s like bankruptcy over a night, it will be so hard to save the enterprise and ourselves, and I hate the fact that it’s becoming a burden to me.
"what if I don’t like her"..."how to say no to her"..."how can I break my parents' heart"..."definitely she knows about marriage...how to break her heart"...
I couldn’t relax my mind and get a proper sleep in the 14 hours fly.
they had sent a driver to pick us up as we were going to spend 2 weeks with them.
soon we arrived at the big wooden house.
they were standing in the doorway, Mr. and Mrs. Jung and their daughter, damn she was beautiful.
we got out of the car and they walked toward us.
_hello...welcome...
Mr. Jung said and shook hands with my dad.
my mom and Mrs. Jung hugged each other.
_hello...I’m Kim wonshik...
I smiled and shook hands with the Jungs.
_god...look at u...u are a man now...
Mrs. Jung praised me.
_a young and good man...
Mr. Jung added.
_thanks...
it was the only word I could say.
_this is surely...
Mr. Jung said and I smiled and shook hands with her another time.
she was beautiful, not that stunning but she was rather cute and shy.
_so...my friend...Kim jimin...
_honey…we should let them rest...they are jet-lagged...
Mrs. Jung cut off her husband. God knows how much I needed to hear that words.
servants guided us to our room, one for my parents and one for me.
it was 3 p.m. and I had around 5 hours to rest. as I couldn’t get sleep in flight, and I saw her and the pressure of the first impression was over, I crashed on the bed without taking off my clothes or anything and immediately I fell in the dreamland.
I woke up to the knock on the door, feeling headache and still dizzy, I remembered I had the dream again. this week I saw it every night, I wonder why, before that, I used to see it occasionally.
I washed my face to refresh, changed my clothes, and went downstairs.
everyone was at the dinner table already.
_sorry...I’m late...
I said and sat at the seat the servant showed me.
perfect! right next to Seulgi.
it wasn’t like I don’t like her, rather I wanted to be alone after seeing the dream. I felt exhausted as usual and just wanted to relax, regain my lost energy far away from everyone.

everyone started to talk, but I couldn’t wash off the dream of my mind, I was used to seeing it as I was growing up, but the strange feeling of that LEO who saves me at the end of it, I always felt like I need to be held by him after I wake up, and that’s the thing I hate the most, missing someone I don’t even know.
_where is taekwon?...
my mom asked.
_oh...I told him to come...but...u know today's youngsters...they don’t listen to us...
Mrs. Jung replied.
_he lives in his own home for 2 years now...he barely visits us...I only see him in the company...
Mr. Jung said.
_wonshik is talking about moving out…but fortunately, he hasn’t found a home to satisfy him yet...
my dad said.
_ure so lucky...I wished taekwon hadn’t found a home either...
Mr. Jung said.
_I told him ure gonna stay with us...and remind him to visit u like thousands of times...he said I come by, if I had spare time"...I told him wonshik is coming...u boys used to be so close and play together...he replied I don’t remember"...
Mr. Jung explained.
_u remember wonshik!?...
Mrs. Jung asked.
_sorry...
I shook my head as no.
_u and taekwon were good friends...u would love to stay with him...like all the time we were gonna stay in Korea...u two would cry and beg for a sleep over...
my dad said.
_I don’t remember...
I said simply, hoping they change the subject.
_u and taekwon usually wouldn’t allow Seulgi to play with u...saying she's a girl...
Mrs. Jung said and I only smiled.
_oh...u let her plays with u once...one summer they traveled to the u.s.a for a week and stayed with us...u married her in a game...
as I heard what my mom said, I choked and started to cough. everybody laughed at me, seulgi handed me a glass of water.
_we were only kids...and that was only a game...I don’t remember it either...
seulgi said.
_yeah...ure right...and it’s so beautiful that destiny has brought u together now...
Mr. Jung said.
I only smiled, looking for any excuse to run away in my mind.
_I never forget it...taekwon wasn’t feeling well...Jimin and Mr. Jung took him to a hospital...wonshik was bored...and I suggested him to play with seulgi...she was so happy to play with wonshik...u married her in a game...calling urself king and her queen...u only were 6 years and she was 3...
my mom explained.
_after taekwon arrived and saw they're playing...got jealous...he pushed seulgi on the floor...u said “I sentence u to death as u pushed my queen"...u said it in ur cute childish way...but taekwon pushed u down...sat on ur tummy...hit u and yelled at u "ure only mine...u only can play with me...ure mine Ravi"...honestly it was the first time I saw him mad...and the first time I heard him saying Ravi...I took him and tried to calm him...and he kept crying and saying "mom plz tell Ravi he's only mine"...after that the families were apart due to busy life and u two never saw each other again...
I listened to Mrs. Jung, not believing the story was about me.
_who was Ravi?...
my mom asked.
_never realized who was taekwon talking about actually...he never mentioned the name after that...
Mrs. Jung said.
I got up and excused that I’m sleepy, I dashed to the room, took a shower, and got ready to sleep.
I couldn’t get off the story they said about my childhood as I lay down and tried to sleep.
