Day 31: ‘We’ve been engaged to be married since we were three but this is the first time we’ve met and you’re portraits really don’t do you justice’ AU

“So, do you agree?” Miss Choi, the face of the household and technically not the one with the most power in the house but everyone will listen to her commands.

“Yes I do, this sounds like a great opportunity and a smart way to finally become a family,” Miss Kim, who has been Miss Choi’s best friend since the first time the woman entered the world of royalties, agrees.

Arranging the marriage of your son who is currently three years old might get questionable looks, especially in this day and age where arranged marriages aren’t a daily thing anymore, but alas, the families are still rich and powerful and the enders didn’t change either. They might have turned older over the years but their will is just as strong so who are the woman to go against the wills of their father-in-laws? The only thing they could possibly get out of it is even more uproar in the family and that wasn’t something the women wanted to be the cause of so they decided to make the best of it and engage their sons to eachother.

“Mom,” sixteen-year-old Minki begins, “when will I meet that man?”

Miss Choi sighs and rolls her eyes while shaking her head. “It isn’t as if his name may not be spoken. Stop referring to him as ‘that man’ and start calling him Jonghyun. Once you get married you’ll have to do it too so you might as well get used to it,” she lectures her son.

“Correction, when will I meet Jonghyun? You engaged us 13 years ago and yet I’ve not seen his face, not even on a photo!” the boy responds. Miss Choi’s eyes lighten up at the word photo and her face shows signs of remembrance. “I still got this portrait that was given to me last week but then the accident with your grandfather happened and I totally forgot! Let me get it for you.”

(Minki grimaces when he sees the portrait. The artist either isn’t good or the male isn’t handsome.)

(He really hopes it’s the first.)

“Wow,” is the first thing Minki says when he meets Jonghyun for the first time in his life, as it’s his eighteenth birthday and their parents deemed it appropriate to have them meet now as their wedding would be in a month.

“Hello to you too, Minki. I’m Jonghyun, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” the older introduces himself as if Minki isn’t gaping at him.

“Jonghyun, forget those formalities, we’re getting married. I’m Minki and we’ll have enough time to go over the formalities another time. Now tell me how your artist was so bad that you look 10 times better in real than on that painting.”

(Minki decides he’s really happy with the fact that it was the artist that was horrible and not Jonghyuns face.)
