Jiyong lie down, he wanted to talk to Michelle for advice but he decided not to

"what to do, jiyong" he asks himself

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"what did you say?" Dara exclaimed

"please stay clam" Michelle uttered

Dara just looked at her

"You see,you're first marriage proposal was with Kwon Il Woo, but you ran away a week before the engement, that day was Jiyong's engagement, but he too ran away on same day, so his brother went looking for him, but then he found you and postponed his engagement, without knowing that it was with the Park household" Michelle explained

Sandara just kept quiet in confusion

"now, I don't know why Il woo accepted that marriage, and why he didn't find out that you were supposed to be married, so you can have a happy ending" Michelle continued

"then why are you telling me this now?what good will it be?" Dara asked

"I just feel like you have to know it,so won't be surprised seeing Jiyong there, and  you can still back out now" Michelle replied

Dara paused,

"no, I can't...it will break my father's heart now, he did so much for me..this is the only way " Dara uttered

"but he's giving you a chance now" michelle added

"why is Jiyong this" dara asked

"he feels he's responsible for you" Michelle answered

"he was so angry when his brother left, and that his brother asked him to take care of you, I also told told him to do it, since  its better to be married to some one you already know than..." Michelle continued

"now Im in-laws with my husband?" dara interrupted

Michelle kept quiet

"but Jiyong, he's been really nice to me, but I see him as my brother" Dara uttered

"maybe this is fate telling you something...maybe lets try this or if you don't really like it just back out"Michelle uttered

"but Jiyong accepted it, he hated it so much, what is planning" Dara uttered

Then there was silence,

"lets take a rest" Michelle uttered and left the room. Dara just smiled

"I'm not angry at you, unni" dara uttered

Michelle just smiled and left the room

Dara went to her bed and thought about what's going on.. He thought about Il woo, how he hurt her, why he left..then she thought of Jiyong, how good he was when they were in New York, and why he is doing it.. dara stood up and hurried to Michelle's room

"Unni, unni" Dara whispered as she wakes her up

"hmmm, w-what? what's wrong" Michelle replied in surprised

"I am pushing through with the marriage... I will marry Jiyong" Dara replied

"ah o-okay, thats very good" michelle replied

"i'll make Il woo suffer the consequences of his actions" Dara added

"goodnight unni" Dara uttered and kissed Michelle on the forehead

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Oh, you're early..I called the driver to take you out to get ready, should I call your brother for this event" his mother uttered

"no, I told you I don't want him to know about the engagement, and that I want to be married before he comes back, then I'll tell him" Jiyong replied annoyed, he headed out

"Uh, well of course you we don't mind, go ahead" Mrs. Kwon replied happily.

Michelle looked at Jiyong, while Jiyong looked worried. They both stood up, Dara led the way and Jiyong followed.

"Looks like we made a good decision" Mrs.Kwon uttered happily

Dara led him to the elevator, Jiyong stood behind her

Dara noticed Jiyong was about to speak

"Don't say anything" Dara uttered coldly

Jiyong just sighed as he looks at Dara's reflection of the elevator door

They went down to the basement of the hotel.

Dara turned around, Jiyong stopped and looked at her

They stood there staring at each other, Jiyong felt Dara's eyes piercing him

"I will take responsibility for everything" Jiyong uttered

"responisibility for what?" Dara replied

"for everything" Jiyong uttered

"and why would you do that?" Dara asks

"Because I want you to be free.. I hate what my brother did to you, I hate that you got hurt and tangled up in this kind of set up. If I dpn't do this you'll never be free" Jiyong uttered

"what?" Dara confused

"I will give you a divorce after our companies merge together, I'll let you go and do whatever you want" Jiyong replied

Darakept quiet.

"Did you know, that the marriage I ran away from was with your brother?" Dara uttered

"w-what?" Jiyong asked

"I was supposed to marry him, but instead i ran away, and the funny thing is I still married him, and now he will be my brother in law" Dara replied smiling

Jiyong felt hurt.

"did you regret running away?" Jiyong asked

"No, I didn't I would have been married to someone I don't know, we would be living in same roof, hating each moment of it with him" Dara replied

Jiyong kept quie thinking

"so for now, lets get along and go about this wedding" Dara uttered as she walks past Jiyong

"Are you hating me now noona?" Jiyong uttered sadly

Dara stopped

Jiyong walked towards her and stood in front of her, and forced a smile

"fighting noona!" he uttered happily, then his smile faded and walked away

Dara stood still "Jiyong...I'm sorry" she whispered sadly.....
