Chapter 4
3 Years Without Love, With HappinessThere's only a sound of aircond is accompanying both Yuju and SinB in Yuju office room right after Sowon and Yerin has get out from that room. SinB is sitting across to Yuju, she didn't even spare even a glance to that older woman and Yuju did sometimes take a glance on her, even just with the corner of her eyes
Yuju don't know how to start talking to that younger girl across her since the atmosphere felt so awkward but she don't want to take this too longer. So she decide to just said something,clearing then starts with ask
"Uhm, want to have a drink SinB ssi?" Yuju ask politely
"No" SinB reply shortly without looking at her, Yuju know that she can't angry with that teenager since she's becoming a victim of circumstance
"Alright" Yuju said slowly before continue "First of all, I'm really sorry about both of my friends that practically dragging you here in the thing that you shouldn't got involve"
Yuju said gently and in more calm tone. But SinB just quiet and listen to it with still in poker face. Yuju take that as she was her to proceed her explanation
"Actually, I'm having this problem in finding a partner in love. As you heard from Sowon earlier, my grandpa is really want to see my wedding before... Uhm before he close his eyes. Seeing and watching my wedding is his last wish that he really want me to grant it" Yuju suddenly feel sad when talking about her grandpa
"How can I grant it if I don't even have any boyfriend or girlfriend? He want to marrying me with one of her friend grandson but I don't want it"
"Why you don't want it? And instead if finding a wife you should have a husband" SinB finally spoke
"I don't know why I can't accept him. The night I told him that I don't want his choice, I told him that I was a lesbian and with the thought that he'll get mad then will forgetting his wish for me to get married. But no, he ask me to marry a woman instead and he even ask me to bring my girlfriend for a dinner on tomorrow night"
"Are you really swinging to that way?" SinB ask carefully
"I don't know, I never having any special feeling before but maybe a crush on a girl in long time ago. After that, no more" Yuju said and SinB just nodding her head, slightly understand what Yuju try to tell her
Because she also sometimes don't have an eyes in guy. She always found that girls are having an attraction that she don't know what is it. She also found that girls charms is more powerful than guys
"But you still young, don't you feel such a wasteful if you get marry now?" SinB ask
"That's what I tell him but you know how stubborn an old person is right? Always want what they want to become real" Yuju let out an heavy sigh unconsciously
SinB just look at Yuju who is looking down on her lap silently. She felt sorry for that older woman. She has a career, money and power from what SinB saw in that office room of that big company but don't have a freedom. Just like her before come to Seoul with Yerin
She don't know whether she should help Yuju or not. She feel like want to help that taller woman, but not sure if that was the right thing to do or not. Just like Yuju, she also still young. She have a dream and dream career that she really want to do in future, will she still be able to chase after her dream after get marry? SinB questioning
"Look SinB ssi. Maybe you're thinking that I'm just using you to solving my problem which it is a bit true. I'm sorry if I make you feel that way. But don't worry, you'll still have your own freedom after we got married" Yuju said and it take SinB attention
"Freedom?"
"Yea, you're still a school student right?" SinB nod "Ok, you still can go on with your study and in fact I'll support all you studies expenses. After you has finish with your high school, you can choose any university that you want to attend, I'll handle it for you. In short say, in these 3 years ahead, I'll fulfill everything you want and need. You can just name it. As a repay for your help" Yuju make an offer
"3 years?" SinB ask in confusion
"Yea, we'll be marry in contract marriage. We'll be a married couple for only 3 years since I know that you must be have a dream to chase right? So I only need your help for 3 years and after that we'll get divorce with any logical reason that cause for our divorces then we'll be free from each other"
It's kinda good offer for SinB. She know that maybe she's called as a materialistic girl if she accept this offers but this is her opportunity to advancing herself toward more better life
"Only for 3 years right?"
"Yes" Yuju said with full hope
"Uhm" SinB was thinking that 3 years is not too long for wait "Ok, I'll help you but that contract will not troubling me right?" SinB ask for sure
"No, it's not. It's like a fair agreement. You help me in this one and as a repay, I help you in your study and everything. Just name it" Yuju finally smile gently when she seems can sense that SinB will agree with her
"Uhm, what about sleep time?" SinB ask slowly slightly shy with that topic
"Don't worry about it" Yuju said between her chuckle "We'll share a room but don't worry, I'm not gonna touch or did something to you. I'll sleep on the couch and you'll take a bed. I swear and promise" Yuju raise both of her palms to proving her swear
"Well, ok. I'll help you" with that words is enough to make Yuju smile widely then immediately sit on her knee in front of SinB
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this SinB ssi. You don't know how this feel so much to me, thank you very much" Yuju was grabbing SinB hands that rest on that younger lap into hers unconsciously make that shorter girl look at their connecting hands
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Yuju immediately let go of her hand
"I-its fine"
"Uhm, where's your current guardian live? I want to meet them" Yuju ask still sitting on her knees in front of SinB
"Yerin unnie is my guardian" that word make Yuju frown
"Yerin?"
"Yea, she's taking care of me after I come here"
"Oh, ok. I'll ask for her permission" Yuju chuckling with SinB "So about that contract, I'll ask Sowon to arrange it for us. The thing that you should do is just preparing yourself for tomorrow tomorrow night. You'll be meeting you in law" Yuju said then winking make that younger girl chuckle
"What I'm gonna answer if your family ask me about you? We don't know about each other" SinB ask
"Don't worry about that. We can talk more on our way to my house, I'll pick you up from Yerin house at 7. Ok" Yuju said gently and that shorter girl just nodding
Yuju just come home from her office when she saw her beloved mother was standing at the swimming pool. She was staring out, her body was at that spot but her eyes and soul are clearly not in there
Walking slowly toward her mother then engulfing her mother with warm and comforting back hug. Her mother seems can sense who's the owner of the arms that tightly being wrap around her body, she lean in more toward Yuju embrace
"You're home?" Her mother ask
"Yes, what are you doing here alone mommy?" Yuju ask softly
"Nothing, just remembering about your late father. How's did he doing up there?" Sojung said while looking up to seeing the sky
"Of he'll be great and good at there. Grandpa said that" Yuju words make her mother chuckle
"Your grandpa, always want his wish to be grant" Sojung said between her chuckle
"But not all of it become real" Yuju said
"Yea, not all" Sojung look down
"Don't be sad mommy. He already accept you right" Yuju said
"Yes, but after your daddy has passed away and he want to take care of you. For that, he has to take me along" Sojung said while smile bitterly
"Don't say that mommy. Grandpa will get offence if he heard you" Yuju said softly
Yuju grandfather didn't blessing Yuju's parents marriage before since Sojung is not come from rich family. So Yuju father got disowned by his father and he's start his life with Sojung as a normal and not too rich person. They're happy with what they have at that time however, because they love each other
After Yuju born, her grandfather finally can accept her father back. He offered his one and only son to work with him but Yuju's father declined it at first but thinking that if he didn't take that work, who'll replacing his father place. So he decided to take his father offers
Even though Yuju grandfather has accept her father back but not her mother. He just love his son and granddaughter, it's a good thing that at least Yuju late grandmother really love Sojung like she love her own child
For Sojung, even after 5 years since her husband passed away, her father in law still can't accept her
"So, what's her name?" Sojung suddenly ask
"Who?" Yuju frown a bit at her mother sudden question
"Your girlfriend"
"Ouh, SinB mommy" Yuju smile
"How is she?"
"She's a good person. You and grandpa will surely like her" Yuju was smile widely while say that
"Well, let's just wait and see" Sojung said then returning her attention back to the swimming pool, still in Yuju warm embrace
