CHAPTER EIGTEEN

~•~•~•~

Yerin was frozen in her spot when she saw Mark and Taehyung, looking all formal, with their dads. She was told that there will be a family dinner and she did not expect this.

Mr. Kim: Yerin, Mr. Jung, please take a seat.

Yerin smiled and shortly nodded before sitting on the only available seat in the middle of Taehyung and Mark. She could see how Mark smiled and Taehyung stiffened.

Minutes later of an awkward silence, dinner was served. In the middle of eating, Yerin couldn't help feel conscious about her surrounding.

Mr. Tuan: So, how's work, Yerin?

Yerin: It's difficult... but umh.. manageable.

Mr. Tuan: That's good. What about Taehyung? I heard you were a doctor.

Taehyung: Y-yeah... I am. Work is cool.

Mr. Kim:(laughs) Don't be so awkward. Loosen up a bit. It's not like it's the first time you met.

Mr. Jung: Yerin, this is my team.

Yerin looked at her father, wide-eyed.

Mr. Jung: mr. Kim was my companion and mr. Tuan was my tracker. And now... you, my princess, will have a team of your own.

Yerin: B-but... what about my members?

Mr. Kim: Don't worry, I already set them up.

Yerin: P-pardon?

Mr. Jung: Yerin... I already talked to you about the engagement but I still haven't told you about who you're marrying.

Yerin: I'm slowly getting your point.

Mr. Jung: It's between Mark and Taehyung.

Taehyung was drinking water and he suddenly spit it out, Mark choked on his food and Yerin was still shocked.

Mr. Kim & Mr. Tuan: Manners.

Taehyung: Sorry.(cough) Sorry.(coughs hard)

Mark continued coughing and Yerin sighed.

Yerin: I'm sorry, dad. I... can't.

Mr. Jung: Yerin...(warning tone)

Yerin: I don't want to marry anyone.

Mr. Jung: This is for your own good.

Yerin:(looks at her dad) The last time I checked, I can take care of myself.

Mr. Jung: That's not what I meant.

Yerin: About my protection? I'm pretty fine, thank you very much.

Mr. Jung: Yerin.

Yerin: I don't want to marry anyone, dad. This is my life and I have my own freedom.

Mr. Jung: Which is why I am worried about you. Your freedom. I am worried about you. For your safety.

Yerin: Dad... don't you trust me?

Mr. Jung: Don't give me that trap questions, Yerin, I don't want to play mind games with you.

Yerin: It was a harmless question.

Mr. Jung: I'm still worried.

Yerin: Dad, I've almost faced death the hard way for a lot of times and you're worried about my safety?

Her dad was getting desperate. Yerin drank her iced tea to clear her throat.

Mr. Jung: I want to have a grandchild.
