Junhong walked inside the house, only to be greeted by his parents’ pissed look

“ Eo-“

“ Why did you leave Chorong alone?” His mom asked, looking dead pissed

“ I- someone called me today” he lied, “it was urgent, eomma”

“ Who’s that someone?” she asked

“ My girlfriend.” He stated, looking into her eyes

Well, he decided to agree on that deal with Hyerin

Since he was against his stupid marriage too

Mrs. Choi’s face relaxed, “your girlfriend? Wait.. you’ve got a girlfriend?”

Junhong nodded, “ne, my girlfriend. And yes, I got a girlfriend already”

“ But what about Chorong?” she asked, slightly frowning

“ We can always cancel their wedding” His dad managed to answer, “and sides, I told you to ask Junhong first before deciding the marriage”

yes, just cancel that stupid wedding.

“ But wait” Mrs. Choi said, “I cannot trust you, well at least not yet. Can you show her to us? Invite her to come over.”

“ I’ll invite her tomorrow, arasseo?” Junhong said smiling, hoping his mom would be convinced

Mrs. Choi nodded, “alright, bring her over tomorrow”

-----------------

“ She’s beautiful” Mrs. Choi complimented, “when did you two started dating?”

“ We started dating last December, eomma” Junhong lied, “I met her when I was visiting Seoul last Christmas.”

“ Aigoo, so cute” Mrs. Choi beamed, “how old are you, Hyerin-ah?”

“ I’m seventeen, Mrs. Choi” Hyerin smiled

“ Are you still attending high school?” Mrs. Choi asked

“ Neh” Hyerin answered, she felt her hand being squeezed lightly by Junhong

Although Junhong had told her that they’d have some skinship, she still feel nervous.

She felt her heartbeat increasing, which she found weird

“ Are you the daughter of Lee Company’s CEO?” Mrs. Choi asked

Hyerin nodded, ”neh, I am”

Mrs. Choi’s face brightened up, “Jinjja?”

Hyerin nodded, “waeyo?”

“ I know your parents, really well” Mrs. Choi grinned, “this is an easier access”

“ eh?” Junhong asked, “what do you mean?”

“ We can get you two married faster” Mrs. Choi beamed, earning gasps from Junhong and Hyerin.

-----------------

“ What should we do, oppa?” Hyerin mumbled as she took a sip of her bubble tea

“ I don’t know, Hyerin-ah” Junhong muttered

To be honest, Hyerin felt slightly relieved if her future husband will be Junhong

She doesn’t know why, she just felt so.

“ I guess we’ll just have to agree on their words” Junhong said, “since my begs and convincements isn’t accepted”

Hyerin huffed a sigh, “mianhae, I made you stuck in this situation, oppa”

“ It’s fine” Junhong said, ruffling her hair, “sides, I agreed on the deal too”

“ But still, I was the one who come out with that idea” Hyerin pouted as she fixed her hair

“ And I was the one who agreed on it.” Junhong said, “don’t blame yourself, hyerin-ah”

He patted her shoulder as he flashed a smile to her

Probably, she isn’t that bad.
