Bound by Promise

She and he were born on the same year, the same month, the same day, and even the same hour. On the very first day of their lives, their unscrupulous parents had already decided their future-a marriage arranged before they even had names.
From that moment on, she began to cling to him.
As a child, Ryu Hye-Young would wobble over in her tiny legs, her baby voice full of determination, and whisper to , "Husband, I want to marry you."
He would grimace, scrunching his little face in exasperation, and reply, "Who would marry you!"
But time didn't change her persistence. When they grew older, Noh Roh-Hyun, now taller and sharper, would hook her chin, pin her gently against a wall corner, and smirk with a teasing glint in his eyes. "Hyeyoungie, I heard getting married is cheap nowadays. I'll treat you."
From the cradle to kindergarten, through elementary school, middle school, high school, and even university, their paths had always intertwined, their lives inseparably bound by a promise, and perhaps, a little mischief.
