"Taemin ah, your tie is crooked!" Mrs Lee flustered and fixed his tie.

"Eomma it's just dinner with friends right?" Taemin rolled his eyes. "Why must I dress up like this?"

(IMAGINE WITH RED HAIR)

"It's good to dress well isn't it?" Mrs Lee said convincingly. "And you need to make a good impression!"

"This concerns the company's life and death!!" Mrs Lee mumbled to herself.

"Life and Death??!" Taemin yelped.

"NOTHING~~~" Mrs Lee sang. "I was just singing you know! A song I just made! Err. I love you no matter life or death~~~"

"Eomma you are so weird." Taemin shook his head.

"Yes I love you too my son! Let's go!" Mrs Lee hurried Taemin out of the door.

They arrived at an expensive looking restaurant and went inside.

"Appa! Who are the people we're meeting? Are they very important?" Taemin whispered.

"Extremely important my dear son." Mr Lee said gruffly. "Come we must not be late."

They arrived at a table where a man and a beautiful girl were sitting.

"Mr Lee! You've arrived!" Mr Choi smiled.

"Mr Choi!" Mr Lee shook his hand. "Nice to meet you!" He looked at Jooyeon and smiled gently. "Is this your daughter Sulli? She is such a pretty girl!"

"Thank you sir." Jooyeon bowed.

"Your son is not bad too!" Mr Choi laughed and gestured at Taemin.

Taemin nodded in acknowledgement, his red hair bouncing. (*SPAZZES:: RED HAIR!!!!*)

"Today we have important business to talk about." Mr Choi started in a business-like voice. "Have you told the boy yet Mr Lee?"

Mr Lee bit his lips. "Not yet Mr Choi. I don't know how to break it to him..."

Taemin gazed curiously at his father. *What is this about?*

"Taemin ah," Mr Choi called. "What do you think of my daughter Sulli over here?"

Taemin looked at Jooyeon and admired her beauty. *She is one beautiful girl. Delicate like a flower but tough like a bull at the same time. She doesn't look anything like her father though.*

"She's beautiful sir." Taemin answered honestly.

Mr Choi smiled. *If you think Jooyeon is pretty, then my daughter will definitely meet your expectations! Sulli is the prettiest to me!*

"Then what do you think if my daughter became your wife?" Mr Choi asked.

Taemin's eyes widened and his hands accidentally knocked his cup of water down, splashing it onto Mr Choi.

"Omo I'm so sorry Mr Choi!" Mrs Lee flustered and passed him the napkins.

"No worries." Mr Choi smiled. "So son? How do you feel about marrying my daughter?"

Taemin stared, his mouth agape.

*M. A. R. R. I. A. G. E. Why do I not understand what he is saying? Is he saying what my Taeminnie brain is thinking?

MARRIAGE????????*

Taemin shot a glare at his father, who looked away guiltily.

"I didn't know anything about this.. Sir." Taemin replied as politely as he could.

"And now you know!" Mr Choi smiled.

Taemin nudged his father. "Yah Appa! What the hell is this? Why am I in an arranged marriage? I have a girlfriend and you even met her before! I love Suzy! Why would I want to marry another girl regardless how beautiful she is?"

Mr Lee shot his son an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry son. But our company is going bankrupt. We need help and Mr Choi is willing to help us if you and his daughter get married." Mr Lee explained. "Taemin ah.. Just say yes. This concerns our family's future!"

"And how about my future?" Taemin whispered back furiously.

"If our company collapses, you have no future!" Mr Lee exclaimed a little too loudly.

Mr Choi looked at them with his eyebrows raised. "He isn't accepting the marriage?"

"NO SIR! HE ACCEPTS!" Mr Lee yelped.

"ABEOJI!" Taemin screamed.

Mr Choi chuckled. "Your family is interesting. I understand Mr Lee. It's hard for him to accept this marriage all of a sudden, let's give them both a little time to adapt to each other first and decide later alright?"

"Thank you Mr Choi." Mr Lee heaved a sigh of relief.

Taemin glared at his father and eyed his "future wife" critically. No matter how beautiful she was before, she was an obstacle in Suzy's and his love.

*Why is my life so miserable!!!!*
