Chapter 23
Please Keep My Secret
Saturday..
Donghae and his father were on their way to the restaurant where they would meet Donghae’s fiancé. When they arrived at the place it seemed like the people they were meeting were not there yet. They waited for 5 minutes then Donghae’s dad suddenly stood up. He walked closer towards a man who was probably his age.
"I'm glad to see you Mr. Im, this is my Son Donghae" Donghae’s dad introduced him to the man.
Donghae stood up, bowed 90 degrees then shook the older man’s hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Im. I’m Lee Donghae”
"Please take a sit" Mr. Im motioned them. "I think they are of the same age as my daughter and she is also studying at Dongguk."
“Really?” Mr. Lee asked
So my fiancé is also from Dongguk? Crap, there’s even no one there that interests me. Donghae told his self.
“Yes” Mr. Im answered. “By any chance, Do you know my daughter?” Mr Im asked Donghae
Before Donghae could answer the question, the door opened and Mr. Im stood up.
"This is my daughter, Yoona."
Donghae was shocked of what he saw and so was Yoona.
“You??” Both of them exclaimed
YOONA’S POV
Appa told me that we were going to meet my fiancé today. I was against the idea of a fix marriage but I just can’t disappoint my parents, maybe not this time yet. That was also the reason why I made my part time job a secret from them also. After a few minutes, we stopped in front of a restaurant
"Appa, you go first, I'll just go to the powder room for a moment" I said to Appa
"Okay, come back soon"
"Deh"
I entered the restaurant and saw appa with two other men. Their backs were facing me so I did not know if they were someone I knew. But judging from their looks, they really do belong to a very well off family. When my Appa saw me, he stood up and approached me.
"This is my daughter Yoona" appa introduced. I was shocked when I saw who turns out to be my fiancé-Lee Donghae, and I think he was shocked to see me too.
“You??” both of us exclaimed
END OF POV
"Whoa, it seems like you know each other already" Mr. Lee said
Donghae glared at Yoona.
“Yes, were schoolmates by the way” Donghae said
Both of the older men looked at Yoona to confirm what Donghae have said
“Yes, of course, he’s our SC Pres at school so it would be strange if I did not know him” Yoona said while forcing a smile to the two curious men. “We even had a friendly encounter the other day, right Donghae-ssi?” Yoona said sarcastically to Donghae.
Donghae just smirked at her.
“That’s good to hear” Mr. Im said
"So, I guess we don't have a problem now" Mr. Lee said. “But for formalities sake, let us introduce you to each other” Mr Lee motioned Donghae to stand up.
Donghae stood up. “Yoona-ssi, this is my son, Lee Donghae, your fiancé”
Mr. Im and Yoona also stood up. “Donghae-ssi, this is my lovely and kind daughter, Im Yoona, your fiancé” Mr. Im introduced
Both of the parties bowed at each other. Donghae and Yoona shook hands.
“So, let’s all have a toast for the future of our children and our companies as well” Mr. Lee proposed
“For the partnership of the Lee Chain of Companies and Im Corporation” Mr. Im said while they all raised their wine glasses.
After eating dinner…
“Donghae-ah, why don’t you go for a walk with Yoona-ssi for a moment? Try to get to know each other more.” Mr. Lee said
“Yea, go with him Yoong while Mr Lee and I talk about some matters in the company” Mr. Im added.
“Okay” Donghae stood up and went to approach Yoona. “Shall we?”
And they went for a walk. As soon as they were out..
“Yah, Im Yoona, if you think I was okay with this idea, I’m telling you, I’m not” Donghae said. “And for your information, you’re not even my type.”
“Arayo. Besides, I know your type.” Yoona retorted. “And let me also clear this to you, I did not have any part in this engagement thing. My dad was the one purely on it. You’re not my type either.”
“If it was not because of Appa I would not even consider this” Donghae said
“So, the fearless SC Prez do also have some fear” Yoona said
Donghae heaved a big sigh, “You don’t know my dad” Donghae said
Yoona chuckled. She did not expect this side of Lee Donghae. She thought all he could do was boast of everything.
“YAH!! What are you laughing at” Donghae angrily asked
“hehe..Nothing. Don’t mind me. It’s just that you seem a bit different just now.” Yoona tried to suppress her laughter.
“YAH!!” Donghae shouted. “I said stop laughing.”
“haha..alright” Yoona said
“For your information, Im Yoona, I only need to stick with you for a month and everything would be back to normal. So, make sure to enjoy every opportunity that you can be with me” Donghae was back on his original arrogant self again.
“Aishh. Do you think I want to stick with you either” Yoona said irritatingly. “And who do you think you are? Do you think all women get head over heels for you? Of all people, the three types of person I despise the most are number 1: Those who are so arrogant and so full of themselves, No. 2: People who are totally dependent on other people and number 3: People who look down at others like they seem not to have any worth at all. Luckily for you, you fall at category 1 so don’t be overconfident of yourself!!” Yoona said angrily then walked back to the restaurant leaving Donghae in pure awe.
Back at the restaurant…
“What happened?” Mr. Lee asked Donghae and Yoona when he observed that they suddenly did not speak with each other.
“Nothing.” Donghae said
“tssk” Yoona said
“Aigoo, you just got formally engaged and you have a quarrel already?” Mr. Im asked
“It was nothing Appa. I’m just tired and maybe Donghae-ssi also that’s why we are not in the mood to talk.” Yoona said
“Maybe, we should all go home now and have a good rest” Mr. Lee said
“Right” Mr Im answered. “It was really nice meeting my future son-in-law. I hope everything would be alright, neh Donghae-ssi?”
“Yes sir” Donghae answered politely
“Have a good rest, Yoona-ssi.” Mr. Lee said
“Ye, kamsahamnida” Yoona answered with a bow.
At the Lee’s residence..
“Yah, Donghae, did you and Yoona had a fight a while ago?” Mr. Lee asked
“Ani, appa, it’s like what Yoona said a while ago” Donghae answered
“Be sure cause you promised me to keep the deal for a month. It would be a shame for us if we turn down the engagement this soon and you didn’t even have the chance to get to know Yoona-ssi better. You know the consequence if you disobey me, I will put all of your inheritance to charity”
“Appa..”
“What? Then keep your word.” Mr. Lee said
“Arasso!” Donghae surrendered in defeat
“Apologize to her if you did her wrong”
“Deh”
