The Choice
Junhee looked at her reflection, she was wearing the cream colored dress she had chosen with Chunji.
She winced and sat down.
“I can’t believe this.” She muttered as she looked at her palms.
“Me too.” Himchan pushed door and walked in.
“Oppa!” She stood up.
“What are you thinking? Marrying Seo Eunkwang?”
She felt her stomach drop, she swallowed and looked away.
“They wanted you to marry...his sister, but Hyemi and you-”
“That’s not the point here, Hee. Why would you do that?”
“Because you were finally happy, you found the girl who could make you smile and tame you. Unnie didn’t befriend you because of your money and who you are. And...you love each other.”
“Junhee..I-”
“I promised eomma and appa that I would help you run the company, this is-”
“I promised them to keep you safe too! No, you can’t marry Seo Eunkwang!”
“Oppa, if I don’t the contract between Shinhwa and- ”
“I said I’ll fix it, so you stay here.” Himchan snapped and left.
Junhee sat back and bit her lip.
Hyemi stepped in the hall with Kai and Daehyun beside her, heads turned as she walked in with the two eligible bachelors.
“They will kill to be in your place right now.” Kai grinned at her and patted her hand on his arm, Daehyun rolled his eyes.
“Do you think Himchan has settled it by now? I’m worried, sunbae.”
“Dont’ worry, I’m sure Himchan can solve it with SeoOil. It’s Chanhee, he will be difficult to deal with.” Daehyun replied.
They saw Chunji step in the place with a girl dressed in a body con dress that showed too much of her chest.
Kai groaned.
“See?” Daehyun said.
Students from Daehan greeted as they passed, Hyemi felt her cheeks flush as they stared at her.
“Chin up, Hyemi-yah. You’re the one stood up before us.” Kai grinned at her.
Junhee stepped in the hall with her cousin at her side.
“Oppa,what did you do?” She asked.
“I spoke with Madam Seo, I offered a proposition.”
“Mwo?” She looked at im.
“It turns out Eunkwang also has someone he loves, so I told her we would talk about the deal after I graduate. And, about the contract deal, don’t worry. I settled it.”
Junhee looked at him, Himchan smiled and patted her cheek.
“See, I can help you, if only you told me earlier.”
Junhee smiled and spotted Hyemi with the other two, she unhooked her arm from her cousin.
“Oppa, unnie’s there, go.”
“Hee-”
“It’s fine, just go to her.”
“Can I claim my date now?” Himchan asked as he walked towards them, Daehyun grinned and handed Hyemi to him.
“Is everything fine now?” Kai asked.
“Yes, I spoke with the Seos.” Himchan smiled and took Hyemi’s hand.
Some of the students around them sighed in envy.
“Where’s Junhee?” She asked.
Then they saw Junhee walking to Lay and Sehun.
They saw Junhee wrap one arm around Lay’s waist.
“Oh, dear.” Daehyun shook his head.
“Zhang Yixing.” Junhee pressed her cheek on his arm and looped her arm around his waist. Lay looked at her in confusion.
“Should I say best wishes by now?”
Sehun handed her a drink.
“Chunji, he-”
“There.” Sehun jutted his lips towards his direction, Junhee turned and saw Chunji and his date. He had one arm around her and the girl was clinging to him.
She turned away.
“Oh, please.” She spat.
