He is the grandson of family friends.
Well off,
And most of all good looking.
The problem isn’t him, it’s ShinHee.

Foreword
I chase my cereal around with my spoon. “Halapoji, when were you going to tell me about this?”
He folds his arms across his chest and looks at me sternly. “I decided to tell you now.”
I drop my face and look at the frosted O’s now too soggy to eat. “When did it happen?”
He braces himself against the table with his hands lifting himself up to a standing position. “It was something that your grandmother and I proposed at your birth.”
I flinch. Could he stop using that word?
“When do I leave for Korea?” I ask pushing the mush away.
“Three days.”
It takes just about everything I have not to get angry.
“As long as you remember everything that I’ve taught you, you’ll be fine. Not much has changed in the past forty years.”
“Halapoji, will she be there?”
He sighs. “Not in Seoul.”
I slump back into my chair. This doesn’t seem fair.
---------
“Unni, it’s not that big of a deal, and please don’t talk about the wedding.”
I take her hand and we sway our arms in unison. When I get this engagement thing straightened out, I think we can be close friends instead of in-laws.
----------
“You shouldn’t be doing this for their sake. You need to explore the chance that you and this girl might actually have a connection, a greater propose in each other’s life!”
----------
I wish you would let me in, let me close to you, or maybe even let me fall in love with you.
