"You are not kidding me right?" Sunhwa does not find any truth for Chorong's story. She can't believe it. Her 21 years old friend is going to marry with someone she doesn't even know. For she, arranged marriage is harmful. Someone will not know whether her future is someone good or bad. She can destroy her future too.

"I don't know what to say anymore. This is not what I plan. My late father did. I have to comply. I love him. He is the best man in my life," she heaved a loud sigh.

"It's okay Chorong. I understand you. I hope that he is someone that we can trust to protect you, always. As friend, I always hope for your best," she replies. Sunhwa her friend's hand. She could see this thing is burdening her somehow.

"Thank you Sunhwa. You always be my best friend ever,"

"Well, I guess I knew that. Since forever," she flashes smile.

"I will meet that guy. Tomorrow. I'm scared."

"No worries my dear. Everything will be fine,"

"I think we should go to the cafe now. I'm craving for cuppuchino,"

"You crave for it everyday okay," she gigles.

They walks to the college's cafe together. The cafe is as good as a five star cafe in Seoul. It has it's own unique side, which is all types are coffee there are really famous not only among the students but also people outside. As they are chatting while waiting for their coffee to arrive, Sunhwa suddenly realises that there were eyes watching their steps.

"I think, those guys are watching us. Or I am the one who feel so?" she speaks up.

"No. They are watching us," Chorong added. Both of them turn their head to the eyes' beholders.

"Those are hot stuff in our college and why are they looking at us?"

"I fought with them last 2 days,"

"What?" Sunhwa's had her jaw dropped.

"Those guys were too annoying yet childish. They were too desperate and crave for everyone's attention anyway,"

"Don't you know, the older one, who is alone, and a bit far from is our college's sponsor. I mean his father, is the biggest sponser for our college. He is rich. Oh, not to forget his name is Bang Yongguk. Every girls look like adoring him much, but not me for sure,"

"And me too,"

"The black haired guy, whose smile looks like rabbit is Himchan. I think, he is Science student too, right?"

"Yes, he sleeps everytime he enter the class. I don't know what problem he has,"

"Really? Wow, that's bad!"

"What about the others?"

"Ouh, from the left, Jongup, Zelo, Daehyun and Youngjae. Those guys are the next biggest sponsor for our college. For Youngjae, his mother is our college's sponsor. People said that his mum is a single mum. For Jongup, his sister sponsor our college's jersey, for all students. His sister own a boutique in Seoul. I've once enter the boutique. Wow, everything in there is expensive. For Zelo and Daehyun, they are foster brothers. Zelo's parents adopt Daehyun when he was 4. They have a really good relationship eventhough they are sharing mum and dad. I bet their parents taught them well since kids. Their parents own this cafe if you want to know," Sunhwa explained every single things to Chorong.

"How did you know these things?" Chorong asked as she feels a little bit curious that her friend looks like a pro detective.

"Well, I always watch people. That's my hobby. I heard these things from people around too and you have to know that girls in my course are all crazy about those guys. They told me everything,"

"Miss, these are your drinks. Sorry for taking a little bit longer time than usual. Enjoy your drinks!" a young small lady came to give their drinks.

"Thank you," they reply.

"May I join you guys?" two men came with drinks in their hands.

"You wanna join us?" Sunhwa was a little bit shock.

"Of course, can we?"

"Yes you may," she replies. Chorong's changes immediately, face that shows she dislike both of the men and face that shows she is against her friend's action.

"So, hi Aurora?" he greets. Unfortunately, there is no reply from Chorong. This man is that annoying man whom she dislike the most.

"By the way, I'm Yongguk," he gives out his hand; to shake with her's.

"Hmmph," finally Chorong gave out her hand and shakes with his.

"You looks arrogant much," he says. Sunhwa was speechless starting from the moment Yongguk sat besides Chorong and shakes hand with Chorong and why is he calling Chorong as Aurora?

"Okay, straight to the point, what do you want actually from me?"

"To be friend with you?" he smirks.

"I don't make friend with guys. Having two brothers is enough for me. They are brothers they are friends. Maybe you can be friend with other girls on this college. Well see around you there are a lot of eyes are watching us, some eyes are black, red, purple, turqoise, brown, hazel, various colours of eyes I can say. I think they want to be friend with you," she says in one breathe. That was tiring and she found herself got choked for saying those things in one breathe.

"But, I don't want to be friend with them. I want you," he replies. He found that she is cute when she is mad.

"The longer I stay here, the longer I waste my time and the longer I watch your face, which is actually not interesting at all. Let's go, Sunhwa," she stood up, gave Yongguk sharp stare and a warn to not bother her after this.

"And anyway, I know you actually. You are the one who was really cocky by saying 'You have bad intention to my car right?' That is the second reason why I am not even interested to be friend with you," she says. She immitated Yongguk's way when they first met after she was being chased by the pub's owner. Himchan who is there silently laugh as he can imagine how was Yongguk at that moment.

"She is not someone who easily be friend with guys, dude. I've told you before, right?" Himchan said right after the girls had left.

Yongguk heavily sigh. He somehow feel really insult when a girl rejected him. Based on his life experience, this is the first time a girl rejected to be friend with him.

"Furthermore, you are going to marry, right? I think yiur father's choice will be someone pretty. Wait, have you met her mum?" Himchan continues by changing the main topic, trying to drag Yongguk's attention out from thinking Chorong.

"I don't even know her family background how do I suppose to know who is her mother?" he replies. He doesn't look like he is interesting to talk about his future wife. For him now, his future is already destroy.

"Look, dude. You can't blame her for what is happening. She is having a same situation as yours. You both are tied with your father's deal. Pitty her. She is not guilty," he says, trying to calm her friend. He felt literally regret for opening this topic.

"Have I blame her? I didn't, right? I am a bit frust for this," he heaves a sigh. He cannot deny what did Himchan say just now. It is true.

"Chill, you will see her in these two day. Well, I don't know why but I think she'll be gorgeous," Himchan says confidently. Yongguk gave him a weird stare. "I don't understand this namja. You're always with your thoughts. Unfortunately, yours always be the worse I have ever undergo, okay," he nudge Himchan's hair and walks away leaving Himchan numb.

Chorong is still in her towel, she stare long at a purple silk dress with some laces that her brothers gave her. They gave new high heels too, it is gorgeous in her eyes. Probably, her new dress and high heels are expensive because Haneul and Donghae do not usually buy cheap things or things that less than 500 USD. She keeps thinking how tonight will be like. Is it a disaster? Or she will cause a chaos during her first meeting with her future husband? She let out a sigh. "If this is not because of mum and dad, I won't. It's okay Chorong, be kind to your parents and you will be rewarded with something better. God is hearing you. It's oky Chorong," she thought to herself. Finally she made up a step to the dress. She can't deny, the dress is really pretty.

She walks to a big mirror in her room, checking herself, whether she looks pretty or not. She looks satisfied with the dress and it is really suit her. She let her hair down, and did not tied it like usual. 'Wear this bracelet, it is a present from yourlate father for your first meeting with your future husband whom he chose. This is a letter from your dad,' She suddenly remember that she has not read her father's letter and see his present to her. Her hand was busy searching for 'the thing' in her bag, which she confident it was there. Finally, she found it. The bracelet. She could not say anything, crystal clear waters ran down her face. She misses her dad, so much. She was too jealous with her friends in elementary and high school because their father will come along in every teacher and parents meeting. Sho came with her mum and her oldest brother.

Dear Chorong,
Finally, my baby has grown up now! Wow. I bet you are pretty today. Very pretty. Baby, I am sorry for leaving you first. When everyone is with their father, you have none. Baby, I hope you are smiling now baby, for this meeting. You will meet your future husband soon! I am so happy for you. I hope you are feeling the same thing as me. When you was only 3 years old at that time, I went to my friend's house. He is my bestfriend since our childhood time. There, I saw his son. The only son. He was reading books. He was so cute and tall. He approached me. He asked me, does princess really exist? I said yes. He asked again, where is the princess? Then I point my finger to his chest and said, she is inside of your heart, and will forever in your heart. He flashed me his gummy smile. He was really cute. He asked me, when will he meet the princess? Can he meet now? I said no, the princess is still baby. You will meet her when she has grown. Starting from that joke, his father suddenly asked me a favor, baby; to marry you with his son. I agreed, because I know that he will be a good son and a good man for you, baby. I could see that. Baby, what I want you to do today is, smile when you meet him today. Say to him, your father send regards to him. And one more favor, please hand this letter to your future husband today.

Lots of love,
your appa.

Water ran down her face, it's like there is no end. She wonder how will she survive tonight? Her father's letter really hit her heart. She felt pain mixed up with happiness. 'Smile,' her tears stop immediately. Yes, she needs to smile this whole day. Her father is watching her from the heaven. She can't disappoint him. She gaze at the clock, one hour left before the date. She could feel her adrenaline hormone is secreted too much maybe hypothalamus needs to relax.

30 minutes to go before he really meet his future wife. He let out a sigh. He could feel this is quite a tough burden landing on his shoulder. He was practicing lines that he may say to her soon in front of the mirror. Black tuxedo help him calm down, it gave him confident soemtimes. He kept thinking, is his future wife excited for this or is she hating this or she does not feel anything for this? Ah, thinking makes him feel more nervous. His driver enter his room and said that the car is ready, Mr and Madam Bang is asking him to be faster since they are worry if his future wife will arrive earlier than him.

"Your date is at our hotel. Bring along the flowers in the car and give it to her. Anyway, it is at the rooftop. Don't worry, your mum had set the best for you," his father says in beam before he left the house. He could only nodded and ask them to pray for his best.

 

He finally arrived after 15 minutes. As told, he bring along the flower bouquet. As he enters the hotel, his father's assistance greet him and asked Yongguk to follow him. 'Goodluck!' his father's assistance said to him when they had arrived at the rooftop. He just smile to the man and walk out from thi lift. He could feel his cheeks are burning and he is too nervous. Slowly, he walked, entering the rooftop side. He had his jaw drop because the empty place is designed with beautiful things. It looks like a mini forest garden. The lights shine like starts in the sky. The floor, which is supposedly to be cement floor is replaced with green carpets. He took a selfie before he really go to his future wife.

He saw her back. She was not too small and too big. Her hair is long. She looks pretty from back with wind blowing her hair make she looks more gorgeous. He slowly takes steps, approaching her. He stood straight behind her, trying to calming himself before he greets her. He clears his throat out loud and makes she turns around, to look at him. He flashes his smile to his future wife right after she turns around. Then, both of them had their jaw drop.

 

"You?" Chorong points her finger to him.

"Yes, me. Wow, I didn't know it will be you. Wow!" he replies with smile on his face.

"And you looks like you are not even against this marriage," Chorong adds with a sharp glare.

"Anyway, this flower is for you. Let's have a seat first, we will talk," he took his sit, he forgot something, he did not even helps Chorong to sit.

"One thing you need to know about me, I dislike those things like a guy help girl to sit, pulled out the chair and what so ever. That is not me. I dislike that so much. It's not sweet but bitter. Sorry if you feel offense," he said. Chorong smirks as she thought Yongguk is trying to underrate her.

"Lucky you I am not that kind of woman who is desperate for that and can't sit by myself," she replies. Yongguk stares long at her. She is to brave to give that kind of answer because his girlfriends did not even answer anything and switch the topic right away. To him, Chorong is such an independant girl.

"Stop staring me and better eat because these foods are attractive than me," she says when Yongguk keeps staring her like there is no ending for him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's eat!"

"So, basically, I guess you already know my name. Bang Yongguk. 24 years old. I go out with any girls who asked for that. I'm not that kind of man who with random girls, I have never once doing that because I also have my pride eventhough I am a playboy. I never drunk eventhough I looks like I'm the one, but no. I have obsession towards music and will produce my own music company one day. I dislike kids but I love to have mine one day. Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup and Zelo are my friends and brothers. They are part of my life. I am the heir of my father's business eventhough I am not into this. One more important thing about me is, I am your future husband who you hate so much, I guess. It's your turn, to introduce yourself to me," he started the conversation after they finish eating by introducing himself to Chorong. Chorong keep nodded and focus when he was talkingh about him and he looked excited talking about him.

She clears he throat before she speaks. "You too, you already know who I am. Park Chorong. 21 years old. I am your future wife. That's all, thank you," Yongguk frowns when she only introduce herself in that way. "That's all? Or are you shy with me?" he asked.

"Nope. You don't have to know me based on what I say because action speaks louder than words. You will understand me as we get along," she replies.

"Do you know something?" he asks.

"I don't know,"

"You look gorgeous tonight,"

Chorong's face is burning and turns red when he said that, but she tries to shield away those feelings. "Thank you for your complement. You too, you didn't look bad tonight,"

"Thank you for this dinner. I had great time," Yongguk says right after Chorong get into his car. They are riding a same car to home.

"Yongguk, I have one favor," Chorong breaks the silent between them. Yongguk lifted up his eyebrows and give a 'what' look.

"We will act normal in college. Nothing happen between us. Keep this marriage a secret from students in college. Well, you know who are you right? You are too famous. I just don't want to receive hate from any girls in the college. Plus, I am not well-known as you and I'm keeping that status anyway," Chorong continues. Yongguk nodded even though he felt a little bit frust.

"Okay, if that will make you happy. I will comply," he replies. Chorong gaze him with her eyebrows furrow. Weird. Why is this man saying such thing. Ah. Stop bothering Chorong.

The driver stops in front of Park's bungalow. Both of them jumped out from the car. Yongguk's eyes are sharply staring around. The bungalow is well built with modern english design which garden is beautiful completed with a large pond. He had his eyes on Chorong's. Their eyes met! Realising that, Chorong quickly ra away from the gaze.

"Anyway, before I leave, this is a letter from my late dad. He asked me to pass this to you," Chorong took out the letter which she left at the guard's place in front of her house.

"I'll read this. Thank you. Have a sweet dream. Bye!" he waves his hand and watches Chorong walks inside until her figure disappears from his sight. Then only he get back into the car to home.
