Since When Was "Arranged Marriage" a Bad Thing?

10)Phone call

Mina's P.O.V 

The week went by quickly with the whole teaching Min Ji how to play the song I cherished the most. I had composed it thinking of that special someone I hadn't met but that I knew I would come to love uncontrollably one day. Min Ji caught on fast, which is a surprise because she never showed any interest in this particular song. She had mastered all but one section of the song. The part in which in my head translated to when it finally said I love you.

"No, no, you're doing it all wrong. It's not dundun, dun, dundundun, it's dun, dundundundun, dundundun." I corrected her.

"I'll work on it!" She said hitting the notes on the piano harshly.

"Oh my goodness, you can keep working on it, I gotta go!" I said remembering my date with Leo.

"Ok, have fun. I'll just stay here to practice a bit more." Min Ji said as I ran out the entrance of the greenhouse.

I called Leo to let him know I was on my way.

"Hello?" Leo answered.

"Hey, where are you at right now?" I said as I walked through the orchard.

"I'm in the row of trees next to you." Leo said but this time I could hear him close by. I turned in every direction and finally saw him.

"Oh my goodness, you scared me. What are you doing here?" I asked surprised that he was actually there.

"This is my orchard." He said stretching his arms out.

"Wait... then Hwa Young is your sister?" I asked remembering my childhood friend.

"Yup." Leo said popping the p at the end while he placed his hands in his pockets and looked down.

"What a small world." I said not wanting to ask any questions that would bring him back memories. "So what are we doing today?" I asked trying to reverse the gloomy atmosphere that I had created.

"I'm sorry, I chose the wrong day again. I had totally forgotten that the first marriage talks with our parents were today until your mom called me to ask me to tell you." He said.

"Today?!" I asked shocked.

"Yup." Leo said popping the p again.

"What am I supposed to wear?" I asked not knowing how any of this worked.

"Your mom sent a box over." Leo said signaling to the house I frequented but never entered.

We walked over to his house in silence, trying to sort out our thoughts.

Leo's P.O.V 

Since the moment Mina first touched my hand, I suspected she was the girl that frequented the greenhouse. But now that I saw her here, I was certain she was the one.

We entered my home and Mina admired every one bit of it.

"Where's the box at?" She asked looking around.

"Up in my room. I can go get it real quick, or do you wanna come with?" I asked awkwardly.

"Is that what you ask all the girls that come here?" She said earning a chuckle from both of us as we walked up the stairway with me leading the way.

Once in my room, I handed her the pink box that her mom sent over.

"You can change here, I'll go change in my studio." I said as I picked a gray suit with a navy blue, plaid shirt and a black tie.

"Thank you." She said as I excited the room.

I was done within 20 minutes, and began opening my room door thinking Mina was done as well.

"Wait! I'm not done!" Mina screamed making me let go of the door knob becoming a bit flustered at the thought of her bare body on the other side of that door.

I waited and waited and waited.

"Mina hurry up, we have to be there in 30." I said impatiently.

"Coming!" She said as the sound of her heels became louder.

She came out with a navy blue dress that had a similar style to the other one. "Ok let's go." She said as we made our way out.

We got to the restaurant which our parents had reserved and took our seats. We did the whole bowing to each other's family and began eating. I could feel my mom's eyes burning holes in Mina's face. You could trek she was displeased at her lack of experience with cutlery.it seemed as if she criticized Mina's every move. I felt my phone vibrate and asked to be excused.

"Hello?" I said routinely.

Nobody answered. At first there was a faint sound of piano notes, and then that tune, the one that drove me insane began playing.

"H-hello? Who is this? Is this the girl from the greenhouse?" I asked convinced.

No one answered. Only the notes could be heard. At first I was convinced that it was her but as the song went by, the notes became harsher unlike the delicate notes I remembered. And then at the end, my favorite part of the song, it was all wrong. But she had convinced me. I tried to fool myself saying it must have been because so much time had passed.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" I heard the familiar female voice say.

"M-Min Ji?!" I said in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I must have called you on accident. I'm sorry for any inconveniences." She apologized.

"No wait, where are you at right now?" I asked starting to run out of the restaurant compeletly forgetting about Mina.

"I'm in a greenhouse behind this one orchard. It's by this really big house, I can't remember the address, why?" She said as I made my way to her exact location.

Mina's P.O.V 

I went to look for Leo when I saw him running out of the building. I went after him to ask if anything was wrong. He ran faster than I ever could, especially in these heels. I took them off, not caring how cold the ground was. I ran and ran keeping him in my sight. He ran into the orchard, and then he started sprinting towards the greenhouse. When I finally arrived,  I had to lean in the entrance to catch my breath. When I finally realized what had happened, all I saw was Leo hugging Min Ji.
